Michael
Port Hope, ON
Installed 2023
"A professional actor from Port Hope, I decided to switch to solar because of climate change concerns. My home now features 28 sleek, black Longi panels (LR5-54HPB-405M) with a 7.6 kW SolarEdge inverter. After buying an electric car, I needed an affordable way to produce electricity, and solar fit perfectly. The 0% interest Greener Homes Loan made it simple. I love the modern, artistic look and my monthly utility bills are fully covered while being part of a greener future for Ontario."
Paul
Vaughan, ON
Installed July 2024
"As a forward-thinking homeowner in Vaughan, I installed solar to get ahead of rising electricity costs. I chose Xolar because of their high-quality panels and comprehensive support through the permitting process and Canadian Greener Homes Loan. My system installed in July generated excess energy credits through net metering that lasted until December. With the 0% interest loan, my monthly expenses haven't changed - I'm just paying off the system instead of the power company. Once paid off, it's free power for 30-40 years!"
Rafael
Stouffville, ON
Installed 2023
"I started researching solar to reduce my carbon footprint and aimed to generate nearly 100% of my household energy. After speaking with 3-4 providers, I chose Xolar for their comprehensive information and non-pushy approach. My 26 panels at 450W each create an 11.70 kW system that overproduces at 13,511 kWh annually. Through net metering, excess energy goes back to the grid for credits that cover winter months. I'm looking at 30-40 years of electricity coverage with substantial monthly savings."
Sebastien
Ottawa, ON
Installed 2023
"As a mechanic in Ottawa with high electricity usage from appliances like my deep freeze, rising costs pushed me to solar. I chose Xolar based on recommendations and outstanding ratings. My 25 Longi panels (LR5-54HPB-405M) with SE10000H-US inverter were installed quickly and efficiently, even during home renovations with a new baby. Using the Canada Greener Homes 0% loan, my electricity usage decreased by half and my bill is now a third of what it was. Loan payments are only slightly more than my savings, so once paid off, it's money in my pocket!"
Sherif
Stittsville, ON
Installed 2023
"I initially became interested in solar because it felt like the right thing for the environment, but soon discovered substantial savings with high electricity costs. My 35 panels at 425W each create a 14.875 kW system. Xolar provided wealth of information and walked me smoothly through federal programs. I appreciated their responsiveness and enjoyed the customer service from project managers and installers. Since switching, I've seen impressive cost savings with substantial decrease in monthly bills. Excess energy fed back via net metering earns credits for future bills."
Timothy
Toronto, ON
Installed 2023
"As Executive Director of Environmental Defence, my passion is making strides toward sustainability. My 16 panels at 390W produce 6,550 kWh annually with significant cost savings. I found Xolar online and was impressed by professional installations and competitive pricing. The quick, professional installation provides seamless, maintenance-free operation. I use the monitoring app for peace of mind. I've significantly reduced reliance on the power company with notable monthly savings. The system's efficiency allowed me to switch my home entirely off gas to clean electricity. My investment protects against rising rates for 30-40 years while contributing to a healthier Canada."
Wallace
Burlington, ON
Installed 2023
"Living in Burlington for 14 years with my wife and four boys, my commitment to the environment drove me to solar. My 30 high-efficiency 405W panels with 10kW SolarEdge inverter were installed in just 2 days while I was out of country - impressive speed and thorough cleanup! The 20-year inverter warranty (vs standard 8 years) was a major plus. The energy monitoring app is my most-used app with real-time data. Using the 0% Greener Homes Loan, I hedged against rising costs for fixed income retirement. My bills are fully covered with excess sent to grid. I upsized for future EV needs and increased my home value!"
Ankur & Neha

"An eco-conscious couple from Burlington, we're passionate about greener energy for our children's future. Our primary motivation was a long-term renewable energy solution. We installed 23 panels at 455W each creating a 10.465 kW system that generates 13,520 kWh annually and can last 30-40 years for our kids to inherit.

David
Ottawa, ON
Installed 2023
"A musician with 4 children, I've been in Ottawa for 23 years. I switched to solar to embrace sustainability and capitalize on financial benefits. My 37 Longi panels at 355W create a 13.135 kW system with 10 kW SolarEdge inverter. My back roof is perfectly suited for solar, producing more than I consume. In spring, I generated 100 kWh more than peak usage, easily covering 100% of my bill with Net Metering. The Greener Homes Loan made it smooth - you pay once and you're covered. I eliminated my power bill, increased home value by ~5%, added a heat pump to run entirely on electricity, and ditched my gas furnace. Xolar was professional with no pressure, installers did a dream job. We can make a difference - there's always a solution!"
Douglas

My impressive setup includes 36 high-efficiency panels at 395W totaling 14.22 kW with 10 kW SolarEdge inverter. I was drawn to panel quality and Net Metering benefits earning credits for excess energy. Conservative estimates suggested 60% savings, but I'm on track to save nearly 100%! Spring/summer surplus credits effectively cover winter bills. I enjoy the real-time monitoring app watching live production. Panels require virtually no maintenance - snow melts within the hour.

My 35 panels at 405W create a 14.18 kW system efficiently overperforming at 15,691 kWh annually. Excess via Net Metering gives credits covering year-round usage including winter. I utilized the Canada Greener Homes Loan (interest-free) and installed a heat pump to shift energy usage to electricity, making solar even more efficient. I appreciated Xolar could handle both - most companies can't do both! I enjoy the SolarEdge app to monitor performance and maximize savings. I chose Xolar for positive reviews, transparent website costs, and testimonials. I expect to break even in ~7 years, then 30-40 years of essentially free energy!"
