Day Time & Night Time Operation

How system works, day & night.

The same system behaves differently depending on the sun — here's what happens through a full day.

Day Time

During the day, solar panels generate clean electricity to power your home in real time. Any excess energy is used to charge the battery, and once the battery is full, additional power is exported to the grid through net metering—helping reduce your electricity bill.

  • Solar panels generate clean electricity to power your home in real time
  • Your home uses solar energy first, reducing grid electricity usage and lowering your bills during expensive peak hours.
  • With solar-only systems, excess energy is sent to the grid through net metering
  • With solar + battery systems, excess energy is stored in the battery for later use, maximizing savings and energy control

Night Time

At night or when solar production is low, your home is powered by the energy stored in the battery. This reduces reliance on the grid and helps avoid peak electricity rates. The system automatically switches to grid power only if the battery reaches a low level, ensuring uninterrupted electricity.

  • Solar production stops after sunset
  • With solar-only systems, your home draws electricity from the grid at night
  • With solar + battery systems, stored energy powers your home instead of the grid
  • If the battery reaches a low level, the system automatically switches to grid power to ensure uninterrupted electricity

RESIDENTIAL SOLUTIONS FAQ

Answers to your home energy questions

Everything you need to know about solar panels, battery storage, EV charging, Vehicle-to-Home, net metering and savings for Ontario homes.

We start with an assessment of your energy use, roof orientation and available space, then design a system sized to offset your electricity consumption. After you approve the proposal, we handle engineering, utility applications, permits and the ESA inspection, install the panels and inverter, and commission the system with monitoring. Most residential installs are completed in one to three days on site, with the full process from agreement to activation typically taking six to ten weeks depending on permits and utility timelines.

Yes. A battery like the Tesla Powerwall stores the solar energy your panels produce during the day so it is available at night or during a grid outage. It pairs naturally with solar, manages itself automatically, and can be configured for whole-home or essential-loads backup. Battery storage can be installed at the same time as your panels or added later as a retrofit, and it works with both new and existing solar systems.

We install a Level 2 charger that charges your electric vehicle directly from your home's electrical panel. When paired with solar, the charger prioritizes the clean power your panels generate, so you fuel your car with sunlight instead of buying grid electricity. The charger connects over Wi-Fi so you can monitor and schedule charging to match peak production and the lowest-cost time windows on your utility rate.

On-site use means the electricity your panels generate is consumed directly inside your home the moment it is produced — lights, appliances, hot water and your EV charger all run on that power. Because it never leaves your property, every kilowatt-hour you use on site is one you do not buy from the utility, with no delivery, transmission or regulatory charges attached. On-site use is the most valuable way your solar system saves you money, since it offsets power at the full retail rate.

When your panels produce more than your home is using, the surplus flows out through your meter to the grid and is credited to your account at the full retail rate under Ontario's net metering program. Those credits carry forward to offset the power you pull back from the grid during evenings and lower-production winter months. Over a full year, the goal is for your generation to roughly match your consumption, so you pay only for the small net difference plus fixed connection charges.

Load displacement is the technical term for on-site use — generating electricity behind your meter and using it directly rather than buying it from the utility. Because that power is consumed before it ever reaches the grid, it avoids the delivery, transmission and regulatory charges that make up a large share of an Ontario electricity bill. Behind-the-meter generation is why a properly sized solar system lowers costs so effectively, independent of any export credits.

Savings depend on your annual consumption, roof orientation and how much of your generation you use on site. Most Ontario homeowners see payback in eight to twelve years and then produce effectively free electricity for the remaining warranty life of the system, typically twenty-five years or more. Pairing solar with a battery or EV charger increases the share of power you use on site, which is the most valuable generation and improves overall savings.

Ontario's net metering program is the primary ongoing incentive — it credits your exported solar at the full retail rate. Provincial and local programs change over time, so we confirm current eligibility for every project at the proposal stage. Available supports can include battery storage incentives and local utility programs; we outline any rebate you qualify for in your proposal so the numbers reflect your real net cost.

No. We use flashing, sealant and mounting hardware engineered for your specific roof type, so penetrations are weatherproofed to the same standard as a new roof. Every attachment point is sealed and inspected, and the work is covered under our workmanship warranty. In most cases the panels actually protect the section of roof they cover from UV and weather exposure.

We handle all of it. As part of your installation we complete the engineering, ESA filing, municipal permits, utility connection agreement and the post-install inspection. You do not need to deal with the utility, ESA or municipality directly, we manage the paperwork and keep you informed at each milestone.

Today's panels are slim, low-profile and dark, sitting close to the roof with no visible racking or gaps. Most use black frames and black cells for a clean, uniform appearance that reads as a sleek design feature rather than bulky equipment. We can show you examples of installs on homes similar to yours so you can see the finished look before deciding.

We size the system to match your annual electricity consumption, which we calculate from your past 12 months of utility bills. We factor in roof area, orientation and any planned increases in usage such as an EV, heat pump or growing family. The goal is for annual generation to roughly match annual consumption so you maximize self-consumption and net metering credits without oversizing.

South-facing roofs produce the most energy, but east- and west-facing roofs still perform well in Ontario and are a perfectly good option. We design around the orientations you have and may split the array across multiple faces to capture morning and afternoon sun. During your assessment we measure the expected production for your specific roof and show you the numbers before you commit.

Most panels carry a 25-year product warranty and a 25 to 30-year performance guarantee that they will still produce a stated percentage of their original output. Inverters typically carry a 10 to 12-year warranty, and batteries such as the Tesla Powerwall carry their own warranty. We also provide a workmanship warranty covering our installation, so the complete system is protected end to end.

Our workmanship warranty covers the quality of the installation itself, the mounting, wiring and connections we put in. If anything we installed fails due to workmanship within the warranty period, we fix it at no cost. We are also your long-term service contact for monitoring, maintenance and any future additions like a battery or EV charger, so you have one accountable team from day one.

Yes. Provincial home renovation savings programs can help fund energy-efficiency upgrades including solar panels, battery storage and sometimes insulation or heat pump work that complements a solar install. Eligibility, loan terms and grant amounts change periodically, so we help you confirm which program fits your project and include any applicable support in your proposal.
