🌞 General Solar Questions

Lower bills. Bigger savings. A cleaner, smarter future.

Switching to solar is one of the smartest moves you can make for your home or business. Here’s why thousands of Canadians are making the switch:

💰 Slash Your Electricity Bills – Generate your own power and reduce—or even eliminate—monthly hydro charges.

📈 Boost Property Value – Solar-equipped homes sell faster and for more. It’s an upgrade that pays you back.

Protect Against Rising Energy Costs – Lock in long-term savings and gain freedom from unpredictable utility rate hikes.

🌎 Reduce Your Carbon Footprint – Cut emissions and support a cleaner, greener planet for future generations.

🔋 Gain Energy Independence – Take control of your energy with optional battery storage and less reliance on the grid.

🏡 Access Rebates & Incentives – Tap into government grants, interest-free loans, and tax credits to save even more.

Solar isn’t just an upgrade—it’s an investment in your home, your wallet, and the world.

Yes—solar loves Canada more than you think!

Solar panels still generate electricity even on cloudy days and snowy winters. In fact, cold temperatures can improve panel performance! Here’s why:

❄️ Winter-Friendly Efficiency – Solar panels work more efficiently in cold weather than in extreme heat.

☁️ Cloudy? Still Charging. – Even on overcast days, panels capture diffuse sunlight and keep producing.

🌨 Snow? No Problem. – Panels are designed for snow loads. Snow usually melts or slides off quickly due to the panel’s angle and dark surface.

Canadian winters won’t stop your system—we design it to thrive in all seasons.

Yes—but we make almost any roof work.

In Canada, south-facing roofs soak up the most sunlight, giving you maximum energy output. But don’t worry—east and west-facing roofs can still deliver excellent results with the right system design.

🏡 No perfect roof? No problem.
Our experts evaluate your roof’s shape, pitch, and direction during our assessment to create a custom layout that maximizes your solar potential.

You don’t need a textbook-perfect roof—you just need Krypton.

Smart tech. Powerful savings. Built for Canadian homes.

A complete Krypton solar system includes everything you need to generate, manage, and store clean energy:

🔆 Solar Panels – The workhorses that capture sunlight and turn it into electricity.

Inverter (String or Micro) – Converts solar energy into usable power for your home. Microinverters offer better performance on shaded or complex roofs.

🔩 Mounting Hardware – Secure, weather-resistant equipment that safely attaches your panels to your roof.

📲 Monitoring System – Track your energy production and savings in real-time from your smartphone or computer.

🔋 Battery Storage (Optional) – Store excess energy for night use, power outages, or greater independence from the grid.

Every component is carefully chosen to suit your home, your budget, and Canadian climate conditions—engineered for performance and built to last.

Shade can reduce output slightly, but with today’s tech, it’s no deal-breaker. We use microinverters or power optimizers, which let each panel work independently. That means:

🌤️ A little shade on one panel won’t affect the rest.
🛠️ We custom-design every system to dodge shade and deliver top performance, year-round.

So whether it’s a tree, vent, or chimney in the way—we’ll make the sun work around it.

Solar panels are built to last—typically 25 to 30 years (and often way beyond!). Over time, they might lose a tiny bit of their power, but they’ll keep shining strong long after their warranty ends.
Absolutely! The panels we use are tough as nails, tested to brave heavy snow, hailstorms, strong winds, and wild temperature swings. Plus, we only install CSA-approved gear made for Canadian conditions.
Not at all! We use industry-leading flashing and sealing techniques to keep your roof watertight and secure—no leaks, no damage, just clean, safe installation.

Absolutely. With generous government incentives, rising electricity costs, and powerful long-term savings, solar has never made more financial sense. It’s more than just an upgrade—it’s an investment in your home, your wallet, and a cleaner future. Plus, with today’s tech and financing options, going solar is easier and more affordable than ever.

💰 Incentives & Financing

There’s great news for homeowners looking to go solar—plenty of savings are up for grabs! You might be eligible for:

  • Up to $10,000 in rebates through the Canada Greener Homes Grant
  • An interest-free loan of up to $40,000 via the Canada Greener Homes Loan
  • Net metering credits for the excess energy your system sends back to the grid

 

Eligibility depends on factors like your home, location, and results from an energy audit. Don’t worry—we’ll guide you through every step to make sure you claim all the savings you deserve!

Yes—there are excellent rebates and incentives available for businesses, and they can make solar a cash flow–positive asset from day one. With the right setup, your system can generate savings that outweigh the costs. You may be eligible for programs like:

  • Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance to write off your investment faster

Whether you own a retail space, office building, warehouse, or industrial facility, we’ll help you tap into every available incentive and build a solar solution that delivers strong financial returns.

Net metering is like a power-saving scoreboard! When your solar panels generate more electricity than you use, the extra energy goes back to the grid—and you earn credits for it. Later, when the sun’s not shining, you use those credits to power your home, helping you save money all year long.

The Canada Greener Homes Loan is a government-backed, interest-free loan of up to $40,000 designed to make energy-efficient upgrades—like solar panels and battery storage—more affordable. You’ll have up to 10 years to repay, making it easier than ever to invest in clean energy without the upfront financial stress.

The Save on Energy program helps homeowners and businesses cut costs when upgrading to energy-efficient solutions like solar panels, heat pumps, insulation, and more.

 

Here’s how it works:

  1. Check eligibility – Confirm that your home or business, along with your planned upgrades, qualifies for the program.
  2. Apply first – Submit your application before starting any work to ensure you’re approved.
  3. Complete the upgrade – Install approved energy-efficient products and keep your receipts.
  4. Claim your rebate – Once verified, you’ll receive your rebate—typically by cheque or direct deposit.

 

We’re here to guide you every step of the way, from paperwork to installation, so you can maximize your rebate and savings hassle-free.

Not at all! Thanks to government loans like the Greener Homes Loan and green financing options, you can go solar with little to no upfront cost. In many cases, the energy savings you’ll earn can cover your monthly payments, turning your solar system into a cash flow–positive investment from the start.
