Benefits To Go Solar
Why Install A Solar Panel
Save Money on Eletricity
Net metering means that during the day when you’re generating more power than you’re using, the utility company will buy it back from you.
Future Price Surge
Take control of your power bills by locking in the price for the next 30+ years with solar energy, effectively protecting you from rising power prices.
Enhance Property Value
Shifting to solar increases the value of your agricultural operation – simply put, wouldn’t you pay more for a farm with no energy bill?

FAQ
The ground mount system is a galvanized steel structure that is engineered to handle maximum wind loads in your area, generally up to 120 mph, and snow loads of up to 90+ psf. Basically, it’s designed to handle the worst of what Western Canadian weather can dish out.
1. Your annual usage in kWh or your monthly billing amount
2. The location that you’d like to install the solar PV array
3. If you’re interested in a roof mount, it also helps that we know the type of roofing (asphalt shingles, metal, etc), the year it was installed and the pitch (e.g. 4/12)
The more information we have, the more accurate our quote will be.
And most importantly, make sure to get solid answers on all your questions – solar PV is a long-term decision that will generally pay you back 3-4 times what you invested over a 25+ year period, but does require an up front investment. It’s important that you feel that you have been listened to and the company you work with will install a quality product designed to stand the test of time.
Here are a few simple tips to optimize your roof for a future solar installation:
1) If there is any flexibility in the roof design, choosing one that offers more space for placing panels on South / SW / SE facing portions of the roof will ensure you get good production from your system.
2) Running conduit from the attic to your electrical panel.
3) Consideration of where the roof obstructions are placed is also important (e.g. vents, etc); putting them on the North side or the edges of the roof will leave more room for solar and the installation will look much cleaner.
4) Leave approximately 3’ x 3’ of space near the electrical panel for installation of an inverter.
We generally recommend not to install solar on a roof that has less than 15 years of useful life, as there are additional costs when replacing a roof with a solar PV installation – usually costing $2,000 or more. To save on costs, it may be possible to replace just the portion of the roof where the solar PV system will be installed.
The biggest impediment to solar can be the size of your service, measured in Amps and kVA. For larger systems, the experts at EVOLVsolar will work with you through the quoting process to ensure that there are no surprises during installation.
