My family owns a small house in the outskirts of Toronto, Ontario, and we recently decided to get solar panels installed. If you want to know the pros and cons of solar installation in Toronto, and whether not it’s worthwhile, here’s why we decided to go ahead with installing solar panels on our roof.

The cons of solar installation are very minimal. It’s a large initial investment and having solar panels adds to the maintenance of your home, but the pros highly outweigh the cons. When we were first seeking out professional solar panel installation Toronto services, my family and I didn’t know just how many wonderful benefits there really are. We talked extensively with the helpful staff at the company I just linked to above, Toronto Solar Power, and they convinced us of getting the service done right away because of the following three major benefits:

1. Even though Toronto is fairly cloudy during much of the year, the rays that solar panels need to fuel up are able to penetrate through cloud cover making solar energy generation available all year long, even during the harsh Ontario winters. Keep in mind, of course, that more power will be generated when there is less or no cloud cover.
2. The day you get solar panels installed on your roof the value of your home increases significantly. This is because solar panels raise the value of life for everyone in the home by providing renewable energy, so you can make the fridge run even when the power is out during a storm due to a power bank where the energy is stored.
3. Solar installation in Toronto is a lot more affordable than people might initially think. We got our solar panels installed for less than $3,000 and Toronto Solar Power also offers life-long maintenance and are always available over the phone if we have questions or need help.

In other words, YES, it is totally worth it to get solar panels installed on your house in Toronto. Just make sure you hire professionals and not amateurs, because this is a lifelong investment and you want the job to be done right.

Another major reason to get solar panels installed is because housing property is so expensive in the greater Toronto area, so by having solar panels homeowners can save more money, to use against their mortgage for example, by lowering the cost of their electricity bill. We’ve only had our solar panels for roughly three months and we noticed a 15% drop in our last electricity bill.

So, if I were you and owned a house in Toronto I would start calling for local solar installers today. It also makes you look cool in the eyes of your neighbors. I recommend Toronto Solar Power, but there are many other great companies in the city to choose from. Start calling around and you’ll get convinced just like I did!
