Solar that's right for your home, your roof, your bill.

A cedar-sided Nova Scotia home with rooftop solar panels

We design every grid-tied system from scratch around your usage, your roof, and your goals — not a pre-packaged template.

A cedar-sided Nova Scotia home with rooftop solar panels

What's included with every install

No fine print. Same standard for every Nova Scotia home.

  • Premium components

    Tier-1 panels, microinverters or DC optimizers, and code-compliant racking.

  • Built for NS weather

    Snow-load and wind-rated mounts. Marine-grade hardware on coastal homes.

  • Transparent pricing

    Itemized quote. No hidden fees. Sample monthly payments under each financing path.

  • Clear project ownership

    One accountable team from assessment through permitting, install, monitoring, and support.

Right-sized to your real usage

Most homes oversize their system. We use 12 months of NS Power data to recommend exactly what's needed — no more, no less.

8–11kW
Typical NS Power bill
$120–$190 / mo

Efficient home, smaller heat-pump load, or moderate annual usage.

11–14.52kW
Typical NS Power bill
$190–$240 / mo

Typical NS home with electric heat, heat pump, or higher daytime use.

14.52kW+
Typical NS Power bill
$240+ / mo

Larger home, EV charging, all-electric heating, or multi-zone loads.

Real Nova Scotia irradiance is roughly 1,090–1,150 kWh / kW / year in southern NS, slightly less further north. We model your actual roof, not a national average.

From assessment to power-on

A typical cash or privately financed install runs 6–10 weeks from contract to commissioning. Halifax Solar City–financed projects usually take longer — often 4–6 months — because the municipal participant agreement, approvals, and inspections add time before power-on.

Real numbers, not adjectives

Every quote includes:

  • CheckmarkItemized equipment cost (panels, inverter, racking, BoS)
  • CheckmarkFlat install fee (no surprise add-ons)
  • CheckmarkYear-1 production estimate based on your roof + irradiance
  • Checkmark30-year savings projection with NS Power rate assumptions stated
  • CheckmarkSample monthly payments for every financing path that applies
  • CheckmarkWhat happens if you sell — and how the system transfers

Not the right fit?

When solar isn't the answer for your home — yet — we'll tell you.

  • CheckmarkRoof has < 5 years of useful life — re-roof first
  • CheckmarkHeavy shade more than 4 hours mid-day, no shade fix planned
  • CheckmarkBill too low to justify the install (under ~$60/mo year-round)
  • CheckmarkPlans to sell within 18 months and not financing via PACE/Solar City

What you can actually expect

Real Nova Scotia ranges, not marketing claims.

70–100%
Annual usage offset

A right-sized system can cover most or all yearly kWh via net metering. Base charges still remain.

15–20%
Of annual production happens Dec–Feb

NS Power applies surplus kWh credits in lower-production months. Add a battery when backup matters.

10–14 yr
Typical payback in NS

Varies by roof, shade, rate changes, and financing. We model the exact case before quoting.
