Discover how Valley Solar can elevate your energy independence through innovative net metering  systems tailored to meet your needs.

Net Metering with Power Back Up System

Net Metering is a greener option for Hydro customers to lower or even zero their electricity bill. It is a system which uses renewable energy sources such as solar panels and/or wind turbines at private residences or businesses to generate and consume their own power.

Net Metering with Power Back Up Power systems maintain the same job as a net Metering system but are designed to keep important loads in your home or business running in the event of a power failure.

When the sun is shining, your solar panel system will keep your batteries charged ready to provide power to essential equipment such as lighting, refrigerator, freezer, water pump or heat source.

Power Back Up Power systems can be custom configured to suit your needs.

FAQ’s

Is solar energy worth it in Canada?2025-04-21T14:46:35-04:00

Yes! Despite Canada’s cold climate, many regions receive enough sunlight throughout the year to make solar energy a smart investment, especially with federal and provincial incentives.

How long does it take for a solar system to pay for itself?2025-04-21T14:48:40-04:00

Key components include sourcing, production, inventory management, distribution, and customer service.

Most systems pay for themselves in 8–12 years, depending on energy savings, incentives, and electricity prices.

How does a solar power system work?2025-04-21T14:45:05-04:00

A solar power system captures sunlight using solar panels and converts it into electricity using an inverter. The electricity can power your home or business, and excess energy can be sent to the grid.

Can I go off-grid with solar in Canada?2025-04-21T14:49:27-04:00

Yes, but it requires a battery storage system and often a backup generator. Off-grid systems are more common in remote areas without access to the main power grid.

How long do solar panels last?2025-04-21T14:49:59-04:00

Solar panels typically last 25–30 years, and many come with a warranty to match.

How much does a solar system cost in Canada?2025-04-21T14:47:47-04:00

Factories can reduce energy consumption through measures such as upgrading equipment, optimizing processes, implementing energy-efficient technologies, and using renewable energy sources.

Costs vary based on system size, location, and installation. On average, a residential system can range from $10,000 to $25,000 before incentives.

Should I re-shingle my roof before adding solar panels?2025-06-04T14:12:41-04:00

If your roof is at the end of its lifespan, we recommend re-shingling before the system is installed on the roof. Please note we can take the system down and put it back up again which we can provide price estimation when the time comes for the roof to be re-shingled.
