Why Solar Makes Sense for Digby County Homeowners
High NS Power Bills
Nova Scotia has among the highest residential electricity rates in Canada. Digby County homeowners on NS Power pay approximately $0.18/kWh for consumption — solar production directly offsets this at the same rate through net metering.
Local Installer, No Dispatch Fees
We are based in Digby. There are no travel costs or out-of-area premiums for Digby County jobs. Our proximity also means faster site visits and more responsive service after installation.
Real Winter Performance
Cold temperatures improve panel efficiency. A clear Digby County winter day at −10°C can produce 15–20% above nameplate output. Annual production losses from snow coverage are typically around 3%.
Advisory-First Process
We do not employ a sales team. Graham and Dante co-design every system, and we will tell you if solar does not make sense for your roof or consumption pattern. Our goal is the right system, not the biggest sale.
