How to Use Solar Panels to Increase Energy Efficiency in Your Residential Building

As a prime source of renewable energy, solar power has demonstrated to be a reliable sustainable power source that can save you money on energy bills. For residential homes and buildings, the sale and installation of solar panels has led to significant long-term financial and environmental benefits. Solar panel sales in Canada are slowly gaining popularity amongst homeowners, with many purchasing solar inverters in BC as well.

Although the upfront cost of installation may be hefty, you can find many benefits and savings when you have solar panels on your roof. We’ll go over how long the installation process takes, the difference between solar panel use for businesses and residents, and how the increased energy efficiency will save you on your monthly energy bills.

 

How Long Does A Residential Rooftop Solar System Take To Install?

Before you install solar panels on your roof, you’ll have to consult with our expert installers and technicians. Some necessary visits, planning, and evaluation of different solar panels should be done before going ahead with the installation.

Afterwards, it should only take a few days of work to get those solar panels on your roof. Completion is often estimated because an exact time depends on a variety of factors to fall through (i.e. net metering) and the complexity of the system. A full installation from the time you sign an agreement to when you turn the system on will be between 2-3 months. The reason is that there may be holdups such as solar permitting and utility approval you have to go through. The timeline to get those done depends on where you live.

The decision and installation process may take a considerable amount of time, but it’s overall easy and quick to complete.

 

What Is The Difference Between Solar For Business And Solar for Home Use?

Resident solar use generally powers your own home at a consistent size between 6-12 kilowatts. These rooftop solar panels attain energy upgrades that can provide electricity bill savings for homeowners with varying degrees of wealth. The return on investment for residential solar panels is high and you can get your money back very shortly, despite the initial expensive cost.

The cost of residential solar panels largely depends on where you live and the size of your electrical system, but have become much more affordable within the last decade. The size and quality of the panels themselves should also be taken into account. Installation prices for these panels have dropped significantly in recent years and you can be assured our certified technicians will do an exceptional job in installing them to the highest standards.

On the other hand, commercial solar panel use is a larger investment and process because you may be powering a town or a company’s daily operations. This greatly changes the situation in terms of both scale and cost. It requires a major investment on your part and a collective group of people to invest, run, and facilitate how operations will run.
