Reviews
What customers say
Several customers praise Mike and the team for clear explanations and communication. One customer says an upgrade to the off-grid system operating at Community Harvest Farm left it with more capacity and required less management. Another says solar-panel reinstallation for a roof replacement looked cleaner and ran more efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Ottawa Solar Power size an off-grid system?
It considers expected energy use and the best location for solar exposure, then uses a home load analysis to determine daily power needs and match the battery design.
Does Ottawa Solar Power handle utility applications for net metering?
Yes. It handles the application for whichever utility serves the home; Hydro Ottawa confirms local grid capacity before approving a new system.
How long can net-metering credits be applied to future bills?
Excess electricity sent to the grid earns credits that can be applied to future electricity bills over a 12-month period.
What can Ottawa Solar Power's battery backup system power?
During an outage, it automatically supplies a dedicated critical-loads panel for items such as a fridge, lights, internet and furnace fan. Electric water heaters and AC units are not ideal battery-backup loads.
Can the batteries charge without solar panels producing power?
Yes. An inverter's battery charger can charge them from the electrical grid or a generator.
