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.

Customer Reviews

Tom

Mike and his crew helped us upgrade an off-grid solar system that operates from our Community Harvest Farm (a program of the Ottawa Food Bank). The experience working with Ottawa Solar Power was outstanding and completely exceeded our expectations. Mike is naturally helpful and understood our needs right away; it felt like a true partnership working with him. He provided great explanations, training and communication about his products and process - particularly for those of us who aren't versed in electrical or solar system parlance. His team was prompt and professional. The proof is in the pudding, as they say - our system has far more capacity and requires way less management thanks to Ottawa Solar Power. Highly recommended. Thanks Mike!

If you’re facing the challenge of planning a solar panel Removal & Reinstallation due to a roof replacement, I highly recommend Ottawa Solar Power to guide you through the process. Mike was incredibly helpful, offering multiple options that aligned with our budget and timeline. The crew did an excellent job with the reinstallation—it looks cleaner and more polished than the original setup, and it’s running more efficiently too.

Tom Schnarr

I had been exploring the investment in solar panels for my home for many years but I always ran into confusion between the technology, the choices, the coordination with Hydro etc, and the various government incentives. Then Michael from Ottawa Solar Power Inc (OSP) came in. He was extremely helpful, communicated very well and walked me through the process. OSP's rates were competitive to anyone else I found and the service provided by Michael and his team was amazing. Always throughtful, thorough, timely and professional. My investment is small (with the interest free loan), then free power for the life of the system. The investment becomes a no-brainer (you need to think macro) and the positive feeling of contributing to a greener world is another bonus. Thank you Michael and OSP.

Tallies FiftyFive

We knew absolutely nothing about solar and with the recent government incentives we decided it may be the right time to install a solar system. We searched the internet and reached out to 5 companies gathering our quotes. The only company that not only answered our email within 24 hours (one of the 5 we contacted only replied to us after 4 weeks!) but also physically visited our property, climbed onto the roof, inspected its condition and measured the area, even used a device to pinpoint the optimal panel placing was Mike from Ottawa Solar Power. While here he took the time to answer all of our questions, which I am sure that after being in business for almost 30 years were basic to him, he nevertheless answered them in a way that was easy and clear to understand. Our installation is now complete and Mike and his team were fantastic to work with, they even helped us with a backup generator issue we had connecting to our electrical panel, fixed the issue and never charged us a dime. The system is performing better than we expected and is perfectly suited to the size of our home and our electrical needs. We cannot emphasize enough how fortunate we were in finding and choosing Mike to install our system. The panels look great and the picture we added is only one side of the roof where they were installed to capture the late afternoon sun.

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.
