Residential Solar
Yes, Solar PV is a smart investment to build home equity. Solar solutions are a profitable energy source that can help you live in a bill-free home that saves you money all year long. It pays itself off and puts money in your pocket at the same time as it is proven that it can reduce your electricity rates by up to 70% resulting in a positive cash flow from the very first year. By choosing solar PV for your home, you can turn your electricity expenses into home equity and cash savings, all while doing your part to sustain the planet for future generation.
Whether your building, buying, or renovating a home, or simply need to change your roof, there are great solar option for you to choose from and make your home profitable, sustainable and beautiful.
- Solar PV rooftop net-metered systems: Offset maximum energy requirements and save up to 80% or more on electricity bills.
- Solar Shingles & Tiles: Innovative solar tech that both reduces electricity costs, improves aesthetics, and eliminates the need for a shingled roof.
Solar power, like other renewable energy resources, has many environmental and health benefits. Going solar reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change, and also results in fewer air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, which can cause health problems.
Studies have shown that properties with solar energy systems are worth more than ones without them. In most parts of the country, going solar will actually increase your property value more than you think.
Unless your solar energy system includes battery storage and you are fully off the grid, you will still receive a bill from your utility. However, you can dramatically reduce your bill, or even cut the amount you owe to $0, with a solar panel system that matches your energy use.
LED LIGHTING
LED lighting can save up to 80% on lighting operating costs and eliminate frequent maintenance as LEDs can last over 200,000 hours. A detailed savings estimate would depend on on the type of LED solution you will choose and what type of lighting you currently have. A safe estimate is anywhere from 50% to 80% over your existing lighting operating costs.
LED lighting consumes very little energy while producing the same or even greater light level output. LED doesn’t contain toxic chemicals and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by offsetting the use of energy created using fossil fuels. At the same time its lifespan is many times longer than traditional lighting, lowering its replacement frequency and use of resources that go into creating the technology.
By switching to LED lighting, you immediately enjoy the following benefits:
- LED lowers your lighting operating costs by up to 80%.
- Reduced maintenance costs with hassle free labour warranty.
- Improve safety by avoiding accidents caused by poor lighting.
- LEDs are long-lasting (50,000-200,000 hours)
- They are environmentally safe and recyclable with no mercury and other hazardous materials.
- Non-debt funding options that guarantee you save without paying anything upfront.
- Office lights: Create the ideal conditions for your employees to be more focused and productive.
- Exterior lights: Improve safety and security with the right choice of exterior LED lighting.
