Today’s solar…

We offer several solar options.


Imagine having a product that will last for 30+ years, requires no or minimal maintenance over its lifetime, needs no fuel other than the light that already bathes our roofs, is easy to use and understand, doesn’t smell or make noise, pays for itself quickly, grows in value as energy prices increase, slashes or eliminates monthly bills, doesn’t pollute, is readily available, and is affordable. Sound miraculous? We believe it is a miracle, (having lived with solar for more than 10 years), and this is why we got in the business of offering this to you. Our systems can do all this and more. (back to top)

Solar Electric, (PV)…
These modular systems tie directly to the electric grid, can be mounted on the roof of an existing structure or on a ground rack if needed. They can be configured to produce all or any percentage of your annual electricity expense. When they make more power than what is being used, the extra is sent to the grid for storage, (credit), and can be used when the sun isn’t shining. They can even be configured to produce and store power in a battery bank during power outages. These panels have a 25 year warranty to 80% of rated power and will last much longer. They are simple and ingenious, the closest thing man has made to a free energy machine.
Many people are choosing to heat with electricity via a geo-thermal or STEFIS system that can run $15000-$30000 and save 20-30% off heating expenses. For the same investment we can offer solar systems capable of savings of 100%. This means you can heat with electricity produced on site with your solar system for FREE for 30+ years and require no ongoing costs for maintenance. Sound good? This technology is time tested and reliable though it is relatively new to this area.  Have a look at this spread sheet showing savings over 30 years. (spread sheet)

We also offer complete Off-grid power solutions that allow for complete self-sufficiency. No blackouts, no monthly bills, no pollution, and a regular lifestyle. We have a lot of experience with these systems and can easily design, build and install one to suit your needs. (back to top)

Solar Hot Water…
These systems are for heating of domestic hot water which is used pretty much every day of the year and is typically 30% of energy usage in an average home. During the summer you can expect most or all of your hot water to be produced by the sun and 70% annually. Our customers have reported savings of anywhere between $35 and $75 monthly and with current provincial incentives can pay their systems off in 5-7 years. This means that these savvy investors will have 25+ years of free energy production. The systems are
made in Dartmouth, NS, have a 10 year manufacturers warranty, are run by a solar panel, (requires no electrical hook up and will run during power outages), provide 60 gallons of additional hot water storage, are easy to use, quiet, unobtrusive, and very smart. There is no better investment available. We feel that every home should have this system. (back to top)

Solar Hot Air…
We have systems that can be used to heat from as little as 750 sq ft up to thousands of square feet. These systems use the sun to heat air that is either directly vented into a room or ducted to heat an entire structure. These work on the same principal as that hot, south-facing window where your cat is always sleeping. They are simple and effective, AND affordable.

We can also design a system for you that uses all of the above technologies to make your home or building as efficient and inexpensive to run as possible. We can retrofit an existing structure or subcontract with your builder to give you the home of your dreams and you will be the envy of the neighbourhood. (back to top)

Whenever you try to wear a hat or open a door on a blustery Nova Scotia day, you will clearly see why wind is a great energy provider. We have a lot of wind in this part of the world. It’s breezy and the air is dense which also provides greater economics. We also have relatively small trees, not too many mountains and lots of ocean all around that generates on and off shore winds. This makes our resource "world-class". Turbine installations in this kind of wind will reap their benefits rapidly.   (back to top)
