How we estimate
- Installed cost: $2.60/W up to 100 kW and $2.15/W from 100 to 250 kW, the midpoints of Natural Resources Canada's survey ranges, before tax.
- Output: 1,150 kWh a year per kW in the Toronto–Hamilton area (NRCan).
- Value: 17.29¢ per kWh, the Ontario small-business per-kWh rate including per-kWh delivery (OEB). Larger customers pay different rates.
- Our assumptions: 25 years of output, losing 0.5% a year. No incentives, financing or tax treatment included.

[ FAQ ]
Hamilton questions.
Who can use net metering?
Ontario's net metering rules cover any customer of a local utility, home or business, farms included, if the system runs on a renewable source and makes power mainly for your own use. There is no kW cap in the regulation, but your utility has to approve the connection.
Do you handle the utility application?
Yes. We confirm which utility serves your address and file the connection application before any equipment is bought.
Do you work outside Hamilton?
Yes: Niagara, Halton, Brant and Wellington County as well.

Walk the site. Then decide.
We look at the roof or the land, your meter and your load, then send a written production model and payback before you commit to anything.
