Going solar is a personal decision, but it works even better as a community one. Our Neighborhood Advantage approach is built on the idea that when neighbours adopt solar together, everyone benefits: homeowners gain price security, the street gains value and the whole community moves toward cleaner energy.
Solar helps in three ways that reach beyond a single household.
Our approach has always centred on helping Ontario homeowners secure predictable electricity costs for decades, regardless of how Hydro rates change. When neighbours organize and buy together, there are often efficiencies in equipment ordering, shipping and scheduling that can help bring costs down. Ask our team how installing alongside neighbours might work for your street.
This single-family residence in Scarborough is one of our early net-metered installations. The figures below come from our records and the system's SolarEdge monitoring portal as of January 2019, so treat them as a historical snapshot.
Production varies by home, roof and weather, and past performance is not a guarantee. More examples are on our case studies page.
You generate your own power and export the excess to the grid, for which you receive a credit under net metering.
Installing solar panels in Toronto and across the GTA can make your home more attractive to buyers and easier to finance.
Solar can supply a large share of a home's electricity needs with far lower lifecycle emissions than fossil fuel generation.
The Neighborhood Advantage approach encourages homeowners to refer friends, family and fellow business owners who want to adopt solar. Customers can feel good knowing they are helping to build a clean energy community, reducing their own carbon footprint and encouraging others to do the same. We offer a $750 referral reward for connections you send our way. Details are on our referral page.
Update (2026): The original version of this page mentioned a federal home retrofit grant that has since closed to new applicants. Net metering remains central for homeowners. For what is available right now, visit our incentives page.
By joining with neighbours, you can share information, lean on a local support network and make a confident decision. Get control of your energy costs, save on your monthly bill and help the planet with clean, renewable energy. Request your free solar analysis or learn about our residential solar service.
It is our community-focused approach to residential solar: neighbours going solar together, sharing what they learn and referring others, with a referral reward for those who do.
Our referral reward is $750. See the referral page for how it works.
No. Every home is assessed individually, and you can go solar on your own.
