Contact UsCanadian Cold-Climate Solar Specialists
We are a Canadian team of engineers, electricians, and project managers dedicated to winter-ready solar. Our designs meet regional snow and wind standards, our installs are meticulous, and our financing and rebate expertise simplifies going solar without compromising reliability, safety, or aesthetics.
Cold Air, Higher Efficiency
Photovoltaic cells operate more efficiently at lower temperatures, meaning bright winter sun can produce excellent power despite shorter days. When paired with high-efficiency modules and minimal mismatch losses, Canadian homeowners capture reliable energy during clear, frigid conditions, reducing grid dependence while maintaining consistent long-term performance.
Snow Shedding and Tilt Optimization
Proper racking angles, slick glass coatings, and uninterrupted lower panel edges promote passive snow shedding after storms. This design reduces manual clearing needs, protects module surfaces, and recovers production quickly, a critical advantage in climates where frequent snowfall could otherwise limit generation during peak winter conditions.
Inverters Built for Variable Conditions
Module-level power electronics mitigate shading from frost lines and partial snow coverage, keeping output stable while maximizing safety and fault detection. Canadian winters require electronics rated for deep cold, moisture, and ice loads, ensuring your system delivers dependable yields even when roof conditions change hour by hour.
Cold-Climate Engineering Standards
We design every system to Canadian Building Code requirements for snow and wind loads, specifying hardware tested for freeze-thaw cycles, robust cable management, and weatherproof penetrations that protect your roof’s integrity and maximize longevity across decades of severe winter conditions and seasonal transitions.

Roof Types and Snow Load Considerations
We tailor attachments, flashing systems, and ballast strategies for asphalt, metal, tile, and flat roofs, engineering for regional snow load maps and wind exposure, maintaining waterproofing, warranty compliance, and safe snow-shed paths for each unique roof geometry and microclimate.
Asphalt Shingle Best Practices
We use lag-bolted, flashed mounts aligned into rafters and sealed with manufacturer-approved compounds, preserving shingle warranties and preventing leaks. Crew members map rafter locations carefully, minimizing penetrations while achieving strong load distribution suitable for heavy snow and freeze-thaw conditions.
Standing Seam Metal Advantages
Non-penetrating clamps attach directly to seams, protecting the roof skin while offering superior load paths. Metal roofs often shed snow smoothly, complementing steeper racking and reducing accumulation, which preserves panel access, limits icing, and improves production consistency throughout winter storms.
Flat Roof Ballasted and Hybrid Solutions
We calculate ballast arrays that balance uplift resistance with manageable roof loading, sometimes integrating limited penetrations for seismic or wind requirements. Elevated tilt frames enhance winter sun angles and promote drainage, while walkway pads protect membranes during service and inspections.
Monitoring and Winter Maintenance
Track production, consumption, and battery state with mobile apps and automated alerts, supported by seasonal maintenance checks, safety-first snow practices, and remote diagnostics that help maintain uptime and performance when temperatures drop and daylight hours are limited.
Battery Storage and Backup Power
Pair winter-ready solar with insulated, temperature-managed batteries and smart load control to power essential circuits during outages, support peak shaving, and maximize self-consumption, while protecting battery longevity with cold-weather charging safeguards and manufacturer-approved installation practices.
Cold-Weather Battery Management
We specify batteries with integrated heaters or protected enclosures, enabling safe charging below freezing and stable discharge during storms. Temperature monitoring, BMS safeguards, and appropriate placement ensure reliability, extend lifespan, and protect warranties in Canada’s fluctuating winter climates.
Essential Loads and Smart Panels
We design backup panels that prioritize furnaces, fridges, internet, lighting, and sump pumps, while smart panels arbitrate loads to avoid overloads. Automated shedding preserves uptime, and mobile control lets you adapt priorities during extended outages and extreme weather events.
Time-of-Use Optimization
Batteries can charge from solar off-peak and discharge during utility peak windows, reducing bills even when winter production dips. We configure schedules and reserve levels that suit your tariff, ensuring resilience without sacrificing savings during the coldest months.
Application and Technical Review
Our engineers prepare single-line diagrams, equipment specs, and fault current analyses for utility review. We liaise with utilities to resolve interconnection constraints, ensuring the system meets protection, anti-islanding, and export requirements before installation begins.
