Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Green Horizon Energy Ltd - Powering a Sustainable Future
What services does Green Horizon Solar offer?
We provide comprehensive solar energy solutions including residential and commercial solar panel installation, system design, energy assessments, battery storage integration, and post-installation maintenance. Our services are tailored to meet the specific energy needs of our clients across Canada.
How does solar energy work?
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts the DC into alternating current (AC), which powers your home or business. Any excess energy can be stored in batteries or exported back to the grid, depending on your system setup.
What are the benefits of going solar?
Is solar energy a good investment in Canada?
Yes. Canada receives enough sunlight year-round to make solar energy a viable investment, particularly with the availability of provincial and federal incentive programs that help reduce upfront costs.
How long do solar panels last?
Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with many systems continuing to produce electricity beyond that. We use high-quality panels backed by robust manufacturer warranties.
Will my system work during a power outage?
If you have a battery storage system installed, you can continue to power essential appliances during outages. Without batteries, grid-tied systems automatically shut off during outages to protect utility workers.
Do solar panels work in the winter or on cloudy days?
Yes. Solar panels work year-round, even in cold and cloudy conditions. In fact, they often operate more efficiently in cooler temperatures. Snow may reduce production temporarily, but panels are designed to shed snow quickly once the sun comes out.
How much does a solar system cost?
Costs vary depending on the size and design of the system. As a general estimate, residential systems in Canada typically range from $10,000 to $25,000 before incentives. We offer free consultations and custom quotes based on your specific energy needs.
Can I finance my solar installation?
Yes. We offer flexible financing options and can help you access government-backed loans or third-party financing to make your transition to solar more affordable.
Is maintenance required for solar systems?
Solar systems require minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning and annual inspections are usually sufficient. We also offer maintenance packages to keep your system running at peak performance.
Is my property suitable for solar?
Most properties are well-suited for solar, but factors such as roof orientation, shading, and available space can affect feasibility. We offer a free site assessment to determine your property's solar potential.
