Solar Services for Nova Scotia Homeowners & Businesses
From a 5 kW starter system to a 20 kW solar + battery setup that rides out a multi-day Atlantic storm, we connect you with vetted local installers and walk you through every option.
Five Ways We Help NS Homeowners Go Solar
Each service connects you with a licensed, insured installer partner who specializes in your municipality's permitting process, panel choice for the Atlantic climate, and the NS Power Net Metering Application paperwork.
Residential Solar Panels
Rooftop and ground-mount solar PV for Nova Scotia homes. Sized to your actual NS Power bill, with proper consideration for shading, roof condition, and electrical panel capacity.
- 5 to 20 kW system sizing
- Tier-1 panels (Canadian Solar, Qcells, REC)
- Enphase or Tigo microinverters
- Full net metering interconnection
Commercial Solar
Solar PV for NS small businesses, farms, fisheries, and non-profits. Stack the 30% federal Clean Technology ITC with accelerated CCA depreciation for dramatically faster payback.
- 20 kW to 500 kW systems
- 30% federal Clean Tech ITC eligible
- Carbon-tax offset and demand-charge reduction
- Roof, ground-mount, and carport options
Battery Storage
Lithium battery systems for storm backup and self-consumption. Critical for rural NS homeowners who face multi-day outages after hurricanes and winter storms.
- 5 kWh to 30 kWh sizing
- Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ, Franklin
- Whole-home or critical-loads backup
- 10-year manufacturer warranty
Solar + Battery Combo
The smart pairing for the Atlantic provinces. Solar cuts the bill year-round, while the battery keeps the lights, the fridge, and the heat pump running through extended outages.
- Integrated solar + storage design
- Storm resilience and bill offset combined
- Best for rural and exurban properties
- Single-installer warranty coverage

We Are Advisors, Not Sales Reps
Nova Scotia Solar Advisors is an independent advisory service. We do not own a solar truck. We do not have a quota. We do have years of experience helping homeowners across the province compare options, navigate municipal PACE programs, and pick the right installer for their roof.
Transparent Math
Every proposal shows full system cost, financing total, expected production, residual bill, and break-even year. No hidden dealer fees buried in the financed amount.
Vetted Installers
Our installer partners are licensed, insured, Google Guaranteed, and have proven NS net metering experience. They specialize in Atlantic-climate roof conditions.
Municipality-Aware
HRM Solar City, Clean Energy Financing, SolarColchester, Switch Wolfville. We know which programs apply to your address and which terms are most favourable today.
Right-Sized, Not Oversold
Net metering credits expire annually after rollover. Building a 15 kW system when 9 kW covers your usage just wastes capital. We size to actual consumption history.
