Harnessing solar energy for residential use involves capturing the sun’s power to produce clean electricity, granting you energy autonomy and economic advantages. Our systems are expertly crafted to ensure peak efficiency and flexibility, whether you opt for a grid-connected system, an autonomous off-grid configuration, or a hybrid approach.
Net Metering involves several steps:
1. Photovoltaic cells capture solar energy and convert it to DC electricity.
2. A solar inverter then transforms the DC into AC electricity for household use.
3. The electrical panel distributes this electricity to power home electronics.
4. Any surplus power is fed back into the grid, earning credits for future use, tracked by a bi-directional meter.
Solar Tax Credit Ontario
The government of Canada has proposed to introduce a refundable tax credit on capital investments on:
- Electricity production systems, like solar panels
- Low-carbon heating equipment
- Stationary electricity storage systems
This tax credit will be equal to 30 percent of the total cost of installing a solar power system till 2032. However, the credit amount will decrease after 2032, and homeowners can avail a 26 percent credit in 2033 and a 22 percent credit in 2034.
To claim the solar tax credit, you should owe some federal taxes or have your income withheld for taxes. Remember that this credit is not a cash rebate or reimbursement. You can claim it for the year in which you installed your solar power system and possibly carry over your unused credits to upcoming tax years.

Grid-Tied Solar Systems
Grid-tied solar systems are connected to the local utility grid, allowing homeowners to use solar power when available and draw from the grid when needed. Excess energy can be sent back to the grid, often earning credits.
Hybrid Solar Systems
Hybrid solar systems combine grid-tied and off-grid features, allowing homeowners to use solar power, store excess energy in batteries, and still draw from the grid when necessary, providing maximum flexibility and energy security.
Micro-Grid Systems
Micro-grid solar systems are localized networks that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main grid. They are typically used in communities or large properties, offering enhanced energy resilience and independence.
Off-Grid Solar Systems
Off-grid solar systems are completely independent of the utility grid, relying solely on solar panels and battery storage to meet energy needs. They are ideal for remote locations where grid access is unavailable.
