There’s never been a better time to go solar.

No, the rebate incentives for installing solar will be provided by one, or several, of the provincial or federal governments and, in some cases, your local municipality. Ask your mySolar Advisor about which incentives your home is eligible for. Sometimes multiple incentives are available!

No, mySolar is an independent service provider that specializes in solar energy, and electric vehicle solutions for homeowners.

In Ontario, you can take advantage of the net-metering programs offered by your Local Distribution Company (electricity utility company). Unfortunately, in some cases, it is possible that your area may soon be at capacity. If solar interests you, we strongly recommend that you speak to a mySolar Advisor sooner than later — we will apply for capacity on your behalf. In some areas, utility companies have already started rejecting homeowners who want to install solar due to grid capacity.

The best part about solar is that it always pays for itself! Statistics reported by the Appraisal Journal and the Lawrence Berkley Laboratory have demonstrated that homes equipped with solar sell for higher prices — typically by more than the original purchase price of the system itself. It’s also a fantastic selling feature that will help your home sell faster.

If your roof is old and requires replacement or repair, we strongly recommend making the repairs before installing your solar system. You can choose to replace the entire roof or replace only the section where the panels will be installed — leaving the rest of the roof for later. The great news is that solar panels help protect your roof and significantly extend its lifetime. If you choose to replace your roof later, the system will need to be removed and then reinstalled once the roof is replaced or repaired. The cost of uninstalling/reinstalling can add around $3,000 to your total cost.
