Not All Solar Systems Are Made Equal
We exclusively install Enphase microinverters, recognized as the industry's most advanced and innovative solar inverter worldwide. So far we've installed more than 42,310 inverters in Nova Scotia. Despite the availability of many cheaper options, we will never choose another product to be the most crucial component of the solar systems we install. Equipment reliability is the most important factor in seeing the promised return on investment.
Our team of expert solar installers is the most experienced in the province. Paired with our top-quality equipment, we're the standout choice for a solar system in Nova Scotia. That's why we've been recognized as the best choice for Nova Scotians going solar by the Consumer Choice Awards for six straight years to the present.
Pricing
To keep things straightforward, we use modular pricing and a flat installation cost.
We offer a range of solar panels at different price points - from value-focused models to the most advanced premium options from Europe.
When it comes to inverters, there is no compromise. The inverter is the most critical component in any solar system — far more so than the panel — and the difference in reliability, performance, and warranty between brands is substantial.
While panels are often similar in function, inverters are not. Think of it this way: you can choose the paint, but the engine stays the same.
Includes racking system, DC/AC cabling, mounting hardware, and all necessary electrical components for a complete installation.

The Industry Problem
Many Nova Scotia Solar Companies know that you likely are not familair with reputable solar equipment manufacturers.
This means:
- They may want to sell you the cheapest available components with the shortest warranties at an extraordinary markup.
- They may tell you that certain components are unnecessary (such as optimizers when using string inverters).
- They may be cagey about the equipment they use, and not disclose the details at all.
Ask Your Installer:
"What equipment are you using, and does your price reflect the actual cost of those components?"
What This Means For You
Red Flags to Watch For
- Unwillingness to disclose equipment specifications
- Vague warranty information
- No clear breakdown of equipment vs installation costs
- Commissioned salespeople (door-to-door direct sales)
- Claiming you don't need optimizers when using a string inverter
Questions to Ask Any Installer
- "What specific inverter model are you using?"
- "What's the warranty length?"
- "How does your price reflect the equipment cost?"
- "Can you show me the equipment specifications?"
-
"Let's say I don't need a Cadillac, what can you give me that won't cost me so much?"
Pro Tip: If they're offering you Hoymiles or Solis then they are already offering you the cheapest available equipment, so they might reduce the price, but will never change the equipment.
Remember:
#NotAllSolarMadeEqual
You can look up equipment specs and pricing on distributor websites to determing if you're getting a fair price. We implore you to do this.
We use premium Enphase equipment because it offers the best long-term value. We price it fairly because we believe you should know exactly what you're paying for. Get a transparent quote with our calculator and see for yourself.
