How Solar Should Be Quoted
Sized From Your Bills
A system should be sized from twelve months of electricity use and what your roof can actually hold, not from a standard package.
Roof Checked First
Panels stay up for decades. If the roof will need replacing in a few years, that should come up before anything is bolted to it.
Realistic Production Estimates
Shading, roof direction, tilt and local weather all change output. Estimates should account for them, in kWh per year, in writing.
Incentives Explained
Rebates, tax credits and net metering rules differ by province, state and utility. A good quote says which ones may apply and what you need to do to claim them.
Existing Systems Welcome
Low output, a failed inverter, dirty panels or a roof replacement coming up. Requests for systems someone else installed are welcome.

Alumen Solar in Burlington — Frequently Asked Questions
Is my roof a good fit for solar?
It depends on direction, tilt, shading and condition. South, east and west facing roofs can all work, and flat commercial roofs use tilted racking. Heavy shade from trees or nearby buildings cuts output a lot. If the roofing is near the end of its life, it is usually better to replace it before panels go on.
How much does a solar system cost?
It depends on system size, panel and inverter type, roof type and complexity, whether a battery is included, permit and utility fees, and local labour costs. Incentives can change the net price. The only reliable number is a written quote based on your roof and your usage.
Does solar work in Canadian winters?
Yes, with lower output. Panels produce less on short winter days and nothing while covered with snow, then make up for it from spring to fall. Cold does not hurt panels, and they often run more efficiently in cool, sunny weather. That is why production estimates should be yearly, not monthly.
Do I need a battery?
Not always. Where net metering is available, extra daytime power can be credited by the utility, and a battery is optional. A battery makes sense if you want backup power during outages, if your utility pays little for exported power, or if time-of-use rates make evening power expensive.
What maintenance do solar panels need?
Not much, but not none. A yearly check of output, wiring, mounts and the inverter catches most problems early. Panels may need cleaning where dust, pollen, bird droppings or road grime build up and rain does not wash them off. The inverter is usually the first part to wear out.
My system produces less than it used to. What should I check?
Compare with the same months last year, since output changes with the seasons. Check the inverter for warning lights or error codes and look for new shade or dirt on the panels. If output is still low, an inspection can test each string and find failed panels, connectors or inverter faults.
Do you work on systems another company installed?
Yes. Inspections, cleaning, repairs, inverter replacement, and removal and reinstallation for roof work are all available for existing systems. Mention the age of the system and the equipment brand if you know it.
