What is
Residential
Net-Metering?
Net metering is a billing mechanism that allows residential and commercial customers who generate their own electricity from solar panels or other renewable energy sources to offset their consumption and earn credits for excess power they generate. In Ontario, Canada, net metering has become an increasingly popular option for homeowners and businesses who want to reduce their carbon footprint and lower their energy bills.

Net Metering Electricity Productions and System Size
A typical home consumes between 7,000kWh and 15,000kWh per month.
In Ontario you can reckon that the sun can provide you with ~1100kWh to 1200kWh of electricity per year for every 1 kW of solar panel you install facing south at an angle of between 30 and 45 Degree.
AC Size in kw
5 kW Solar Array
7 kW Solar Array
9 kW Solar Array
10 kW Solar Array
Yearly Consumption
6,000 kWh
8,400 kWh
10,800 kWh
12,000 kWh
Net Metering for residential homes is in the range of 5kW AC to 10kW AC. Below 10kW the application process with your local utility is usually very straight forward with little red tape. If you want to go over 10kW then there is a CIA (Connection Impact Assessment). We can assist with this process.
Benefits of Net Metering
With rising electricity costs Net Metering allows you to hedge yourself against the increased costs. By investing once in your system you will be able to reduce the monthly electricity bills.
As the rates increases every year your system will continue producing electricity. The longer you have your system the cheaper it is to own.
With the solar systems we offer you are also able to provide emergency power during power outages. As long as there is sun you will be able to power your:
- Fridge
- Freezer
- TV
- Charge your phone
- Charge your battery generator (we offer solutions for sale)
- And many more electrical devices.
