Typical NS Power bill
$120–$190 / mo
Efficient home, smaller heat-pump load, or moderate annual usage.
Home solar designed around your roof and your bill.
We design each grid-tied system from scratch around your usage and your goals, not a pre-packaged template.
What goes into an install
What we plan for on each Nova Scotia home.
Quality equipment
Quality panels, microinverters or string inverters, and code-compliant racking.
Built for NS weather
Snow-load and wind-rated mounts. Corrosion-resistant hardware for coastal homes.
Transparent pricing
Itemized quote with sample monthly payments under each financing path.
Start to finish
Assessment, permits, install, and power-on, planned as one project.
Right-sized to your real usage
We use 12 months of your NS Power data to size the system to what you actually use.
Typical NS Power bill
$190–$240 / mo
Typical NS home with electric heat, heat pump, or higher daytime use.
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
Timelines depend on the system, the permit, NS Power's inspection, and how you pay. Halifax Solar City projects usually take longer, because the municipal participant agreement, approvals, and inspections add time before power-on.
Assessment
Roof, usage, financing review (30 to 45 min).
Design
Custom design, equipment selection, savings model.
Permits
Electrical permit + NS Power interconnection.
Install
Roof + electrical work on site.
Power-on
NS Power inspection + meter swap + monitoring live.
Real numbers, not adjectives
A solar quote should show you:
- Itemized equipment cost (panels, inverter, racking, BoS)
- Installation cost as its own line
- Year-1 production estimate based on your roof + irradiance
- 30-year savings projection with NS Power rate assumptions stated
- Sample monthly payments for every financing path that applies
- What 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.
- Roof has < 5 years of useful life: re-roof first
- Heavy shade more than 4 hours mid-day, no shade fix planned
- Bill too low to justify the install (under ~$60/mo year-round)
- Plans to sell within 18 months and not financing via PACE/Solar City
What you can actually expect
Typical Nova Scotia ranges, not marketing claims.
Annual usage offset
How much depends on your roof and usage. Base charges still remain.
Of annual production happens Dec–Feb
NS Power applies surplus kWh credits in lower-production months. Add a battery when backup matters.
Typical payback in NS
Varies by roof, shade, rate changes, and financing. We model the exact case before quoting.
