Tell us about your home and your electricity bills. A verified solar professional who covers your postal code will get in touch to talk through whether solar suits your roof, how you could pay for it, and what to compare.
A verified professional will get in touch.
The right choice depends on your finances and how long you plan to stay.
You own the system from day one and avoid interest. It needs the most money upfront.
You own the system and repay over time. Compare the interest rate, fees and the total you will repay.
Arranged at the point of sale. Check the lender and the terms, and compare it with other options.
Batteries can store spare power. They add cost, so ask what one would do for you.
You pay for the power or rent the system rather than own it. Read every term, and watch for liens on your home.
That is fine. The first conversation is about whether solar suits your home at all.
Its direction, angle, size, age and condition, and how snow slides off it.
Trees and neighbouring buildings can cut how much the panels produce.
What you use and when, which sets how large a system makes sense.
Net metering credits, limits and approval requirements where you live.
The panels, inverter and any battery, and the warranty on each.
Electrical permits, inspections and the utility's approval to connect.
Ask for the numbers, and check them yourself.
Panels, inverter, installation, safe access, any battery and permits, itemized in writing.
Ask what electricity prices, net metering rules and usage the numbers are based on.
And is it included in the price.
The panels, the inverter and the installation work separately, and for how long.
Ask what happens to a loan or agreement, and get the answer in the contract.
We'd rather connect you with the right provider once than flood your inbox with a dozen you'll never call back.
Whether solar works for you depends on your roof, the shade and snow around it and how much power you use. You get that conversation first.
Paying cash, taking a loan and signing a financing agreement are very different commitments. You hear how each works before you decide.
You can ask questions and compare, and nobody pushes you to decide on the spot.
It depends on your roof's direction, angle, condition and age, how much shade it gets and how much electricity you use. An installer assesses it and should explain what they found.
Yes, though production is lower in winter, with short days and snow cover, and higher in the long days of spring and summer. Cold, clear weather can actually help panels' efficiency. Ask the installer how they estimated annual production, and how snow on the panels is handled.
It depends on your province and utility. Many offer net metering, which credits you for power you send to the grid, but the rules, credits and limits differ by province and by utility, and they can change. Ask the installer exactly how the program works where you live, and how the savings in the quote were worked out.
It varies with the size of the system, your roof and where you live. Namoye doesn't set prices. Savings depend on your electricity rates and use, which differ a lot by province. Be cautious about savings claims that don't show their assumptions. Ask for the numbers in writing.
Federal, provincial and municipal programs have offered grants, loans or rebates for solar and home batteries, and they change often and have conditions. Ask the installer and check official government and utility sources for what currently applies before you sign.
A battery can store spare power and may help during an outage, but it adds cost and doesn't suit everyone. Ask the installer what a battery would do for your usage and what it would cost.
In most provinces the electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician, and installations generally need a permit and an inspection. The utility must also approve the connection to the grid. Ask for licence numbers and check the equipment is certified for use in Canada.
If your roof is near the end of its life, it can be sensible to replace it before panels go on, since removing and refitting them later adds cost. Ask the installer for their view.
Ask what the manufacturer's warranty covers and what the installer's own workmanship warranty covers. Ask whether the warranty still stands if the installer goes out of business.
Don't sign on the spot. Provincial consumer protection laws give you cancellation rights for many agreements made at your door or in your home, but it's better to compare quotes first and check the installer's licence. Be careful about leases and agreements that put a lien on your home.
A recent electricity bill if you have one, your roof's approximate age and material, and your postal code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.
No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't install, price or guarantee the work. The installer who contacts you is responsible for the quote and the job.
