Solar for Residential, Vaughan

Each year, more Canadians become concerned over the increasing cost of living. Among other bills and expenses, utility bills are one of the most unpredictable expenses which increase exponentially each year. Many homeowners have begun to turn to renewable power as a way to reduce utility costs and increase savings. Solar power is a renewable energy source which has begun to gain popularity over the last decade.

A great benefit of solar power is that it can help to reduce carbon emissions by 5-10 times the amount compared to natural gas. Reducing carbon emissions has become more and more important as climate change becomes an emerging issue, and as a result, many homeowners have begun to turn away from using traditional natural gas or coal energy sources. Solar panels allow homeowners to minimize their reliance on fossil fuels and the electrical grid, while also increasing their self-sufficiency and saving money. Solar panels can be used to supply power to a house during the day, and a solar coupled battery storage system can store the excess energy to be used at night as well.

 In addition, studies show that solar panels can increase your home’s property value by up to 4%. In addition, homes with solar panels typically sell quicker than homes without solar panels. An added benefit for homeowners in Ontario is the opportunity to earn up to $5,000 in rebates to offset the cost of installing renewable energy infrastructure into your home.

The cost of installing a solar power system will depend on the layout and size of your home, and the system’s capacity in watts. In Ontario, the average cost of installing a solar power system is approximately $2.46 per watt.
