Does solar work here?

Yes, and often better than people expect.
Long summer days generate strong production, and that energy doesn´t go to waste.
With net metering, any excess energy your system produces is sent to the grid and stored as credits.
This is major advantage, and one of the reasons works so well here.

FAQ

how does net metering work?

During the summer, your system will often produce more energy than you use.
That excess is sent to the grid and stored as credits.
In the winter, when production is lower, you drawfrom the credits.
You´re effectively banking energy in summer and using it in winter.
Because of this, battery storage is typcally not required.
What happens in winter and with snow?

Production is lower in the winter.
Through net metering, any excess energy you don´t use when production is higher is carried foward as credits, ready for you when you need it.
Snow is also not something you need to worry about.
It´s already accounted for in the conservate production estimate, and panels naturally shed snow as conditions change.
No maintenance required.

How accurate are the estimates?

We use conservative modelling based on long-term weather data, seasonal variation, and real system design factors.
The goal´s is consistency, not overpromising.

Will my roof leak after installing solar panels?

The mounting system we use is designed to protect the integrity of your roof. Each attachment point is secured directly into the structural framing using high-grade self-tapping fasteners, along with integrated sealing components that create a durable, weather-tight connection.

We use the RT-Mini II mounting system, which is engineered for strength, longevity, and reliable waterproofing when installed correctly.

As an added precaution, a bead of sealant can be applied where required for additional peace of mind — though in most cases, the system is designed to perform effectively without it.

When installed properly, a solar system should not increase the risk of leaks. In many cases, the panels can actually help protect the roof area beneath them from direct exposure to the elements.

Can the system handle strong winds and storms?

The mounting system we use (RT-Mini II) has been tested and engineered to withstand wind speeds of up to approximately 280–290 km/h under controlled conditions.

In real-world installations, the system is designed based on your specific home, including roof structure, layout, and local building code requirements. This ensures the system is properly engineered for the conditions it will actually face.

Combined with proper attachment spacing and load distribution, the result is a system that remains secure and reliable through high winds and severe weather.

Will the system hold up under snow and winter conditions?

Panels are installed at an angle, which helps snow slide off naturally as conditions allow. Even when snow does accumulate, it typically melts more quickly due to the dark surface of the panels and exposure to sunlight.

The system is also engineered to handle expected snow loads and seasonal conditions, ensuring it remains secure and performs reliably throughout the winter.

How are the panels attached to the roof?

The solar panels are installed on a racking system that is secured to your roof using specialized mounting components.

These mounting points are fastened directly into the roof’s structural framing and sealed using engineered waterproofing methods designed specifically for roofing applications.

This creates a secure, low-profile installation that is both structurally sound and fully weather-resistant.

Will installing solar panels damage my roof?

The system is engineered to integrate with your roof structure, with all mounting points properly sealed and the weight evenly distributed.

As an added benefit, the panels can help shield sections of your roof from direct sun, rain, and snow — which may help reduce long-term wear.

Do solar panels require maintenance?

Solar systems are designed to be low maintenance.

Rain and natural weather conditions typically help keep the panels clean. There are no moving parts, which reduces the likelihood of wear and tear over time.

Aside from occasional visual checks or monitoring through the app, the system largely takes care of itself.

Will solar panels still work during cloudy days or in winter?

While production is higher in the summer months, the system continues to produce power on cloudy days and during the winter. Through net metering, excess energy produced in higher-production months helps offset lower production periods.

This allows your system to balance your energy usage across the year.

What happens if something goes wrong with the system?

Solar systems are very reliable, but if anything does come up, you’re covered.

Your system includes long-term warranties across all major components, and performance can be monitored in real time. If an issue is detected, it can often be identified quickly through the monitoring system.

We’ll guide you through the process if anything needs attention, though most systems operate with little to no ongoing maintenance

How can I monitor my system’s performance?

You’ll have access to real-time monitoring through the Enphase system.

This allows you to track your system’s performance down to each individual panel, view production over time, and receive alerts if anything changes.

You can access this information easily from your phone or computer.

Will installing solar panels affect how my home looks?

Solar systems today are designed to be both functional and visually clean.

With all-black panels and low-profile mounting, the system is designed to blend in with your roofline while maintaining a balanced and intentional layout.

We also take care in the design phase to ensure the system looks as good as it performs.

Will solar increase the value of my home?

Solar is generally seen as a long-term improvement to a home.

While market conditions can vary, homes with solar systems often appeal to buyers looking for lower operating costs and improved energy efficiency.

More importantly, it allows you to benefit from those savings while you’re living in the home.

Is the system designed specifically for my home?

Every system is custom-designed based on your roof layout, energy usage, and structural considerations.

This includes factors like orientation, roof pitch, and environmental exposure to ensure the system is both safe and optimized for performance
