We assist Toronto homeowners and business owners in evaluating their properties, comparing various solar solutions, and receiving quotations from local, qualified solar installers.
There is much more involved in solar installations than simply looking for a contractor. You need a system that fits your property, electricity usage, budget, and long-term objectives. At Solr Solvr, we provide a solar energy marketplace and advisory service. Before choosing which company to hire, we allow our homeowner and business clients to compare qualified contractors for their solar project.
Our process allows you to identify the best system designs for your property, equipment, warranties, anticipated electricity generation, and installation quotes from multiple qualified installers. This clear comparison will enable you to avoid unsuitable systems and make an informed decision regarding your investment.

Residential solar systems turn unused roof space into electricity for your house. The correct system helps you save money on your regular monthly electric bills, lower your dependency on the grid, avoid rising electricity costs, and provide additional capabilities such as battery storage or EV charging.
We assist Toronto homeowners in assessing their roof condition, sun exposure, shading (solar panels often perform best on roofs facing south or west), electricity use, available installation space, and comparing tailored quotes from qualified local companies without having to contact them individually.
Commercial solar systems in Toronto assist businesses in saving money on operational costs and give them more control over long-term electricity bills. Solar systems can be designed for many types of commercial buildings, including retail establishments, offices, warehouse facilities, manufacturing plants, medical centers, and other types of properties.
We help business owners compare their system efficiency, financing choices, equipment, warranties, and expected financial returns prior to selecting an installer. This enables you to select a solar solution for your commercial facility based on clearly defined project parameters, rather than just a single sales quote.
By producing your own power using solar panels, you will significantly decrease the amount of electricity you need to buy from the utility supplier. Your actual cost reduction depends on your system production and energy usage patterns.
Battery storage saves excess renewable solar-generated electricity to power specific appliances or business equipment when solar production decreases, or the grid is unavailable due to an outage.
Generating your own electricity reduces your reliance on changing utility rate structures for long periods, as the common lifespan for a solar system ranges between 25 and 40 years. By generating your own electricity, you will have more control over where your electricity comes from and how you use it.
Unlike traditional fossil fuel-based energy sources, solar power emits 5 to 10 times fewer greenhouse gases (3 to 4 tons less carbon emissions per year). Therefore, installing a solar system on your property will decrease your carbon footprint and contribute to Toronto's transition to cleaner energy alternatives.
Well-designed solar systems can make a house or commercial building more desirable to potential buyers because of reduced electricity expenses and additional functional energy-related features. It often increases value by 3 to 4%.

Solar panels can be mounted on flat roofs, sloped roofs, and even metal roofs. Prior to designing the mounting structure, installers assess the roof's structural integrity, its angle relative to sunlight, and any obstructions that would cause shading or affect available roof space.
Ground-mounted solar panels are installed on open ground spaces instead of on top of a building, providing greater versatility, since the panels can be positioned in almost any direction and can be easily accessed. It also offers more expansion opportunities.
Solar carports consist of solar panels placed above parking lot canopies. As with solar panels on rooftops, these can produce electricity while simultaneously providing shaded parking for customers, employees, homeowners, tenants, and visitors, and lowering vehicles' temperatures.
When purchasing a new solar system, you can plan for installing an EV charger as well. Both residential and commercial customers can benefit from installing an EV charger, especially when combined with solar carports.
Costs associated with installing a solar system vary depending on several factors, including but not limited to: the number of watts installed, high-quality vs. standard solar panels, mounting hardware required for roof mounting, necessary permits and inspections, connections to local utilities, inverters, and more. Additional costs include electrical panel upgrades when needed and battery additions to support energy storage.
In terms of general estimating, Ontario-based solar systems can range between $2.50 and $3.00 per watt. At those ranges, a 5kW to 7kW system would likely range from $13,000 to $21,000 prior to applicable rebates. Most residential 5kW systems are eligible for $5,000 in rebates in Toronto, lowering the range to $8,000 to $16,000 before tax.
Those are approximate estimates. Financing options and labour costs also impact final costs.
We assist you in reviewing competing bids, allowing you to evaluate pricing, production expectations, warranty coverage, and equipment quality before selecting an installer.

The type of equipment, the date it was purchased, and tax rules will determine how much can be deducted.
Ontario commercial building owners or occupants who install a solar photovoltaic system that reduces their electrical demand from the grid may apply for Save on Energy rebates.
