They made the entire process easy and stress-free. The installation itself was smooth and efficient, and they explained everything clearly along the way. … The panels look great with clean lines, hidden wiring, and are functioning perfectly.

They took the time to analyze our energy setup and explain what made sense for us without trying to upsell gear we didn't need. The installation itself was incredibly smooth, and the crew was polite, on time, and highly professional.

When selecting a company to install a solar panel system, we invited site visits, discussion and quotes from five companies. Only two of these companies took the time and effort to come and see the location, including the unique construction of our timber frame roof.

After a few years of looking into solar power for my home I finally decided to get it done. … They did the work without complaint and answered all my questions completely.

Very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. They took the time to explain the whole process to my wife and I and that enabled us to make an informed decision

Questions

Before you check

Is this NS Power or the Government?

No. Homegrown Power is an independent service. We are not affiliated with Nova Scotia Power or the Government of Nova Scotia. We help homeowners find out if their home is a good fit for rooftop solar and battery storage, and connect them with licensed local installers.

What does it cost to check?

Nothing. The 60-second check and your estimate are free, with no obligation to go ahead.

Will someone come to my door?

No. There is no door-to-door. A local advisor calls you at the number you give us, and a visit to your home is only booked if you want one.

How do I know if my home is a good fit?

Start with the 60-second check. The main things that matter are a roof that gets sun most of the day, a home you own, and your power bill. A local advisor then looks at your roof and your bill with you. If solar does not make sense for your home, they tell you.

Do you cover my part of Nova Scotia?

The check is for homes in Nova Scotia. Enter your postal code in the check and you see right away if your home is in our service area.

Who takes care of the permits and the paperwork?

The licensed partner installer handles the permits, the inspections and the paperwork with the utility. You do not have to deal with it yourself.

Does solar work in a Nova Scotia winter?

Yes. Panels make power from daylight, not heat, and cold weather does not stop them. They produce less on short winter days or under snow, and more from spring to fall. Your estimate is based on your own roof and your own bill, so you see what to expect over a full year.

What happens after I submit?

A local advisor reviews your answers and calls you. If your home looks like a fit, they prepare a free estimate for your roof and your bill. If solar does not make sense for your home, they tell you. You decide, with no pressure.
