Nova Scotia's Self-Generating Option

Net Zero Your Home With PV Solar.

Use the grid as your bank to balance out your PV production throughout the year.

Self-Generating for Homes

Net-Zero, By the Calendar Year.

Solar systems in Nova Scotia produce more energy in summer than in winter. Surplus kWh in any billing period are banked and applied to your next bill until the end of the year. Any excess generation remaining at year-end credits any consumption within the same calendar year, up to the total billed energy.

That is how a "Net-Zero" home works in NS. You generate as much as you use across a year, regardless of when it is produced or consumed.

3.6% Annual Rate Increase

Power Rates Will Keep Climbing.

Residential rates have increased 3.6% per year in NS for the last decade, and NSP is unlikely to break the trend. At that pace, today's $0.185/kWh becomes $0.535/kWh within 30 years. A constant 13,500 kWh/year home would see its monthly bill rise from $208.13 to $601.34 by 2056, an increase of 189%.

Our Unique Approach

The Proof

"Trustworthy" is a claim every installer makes. These are the things you can verify yourself, today, before you ever speak to us.

Every Install. Public. With Live Uptime.

Every Watts Up system is in our live database, with real-time uptime visible on every system page. We know the biggest concern is being left in the dark if your installer stops picking up the phone. Public uptime is our answer to that fear. If a Watts Up roof goes dark, the whole internet can see it. We're the only solar company in North America that publishes its installs this way. We are committed to maintaining our fleet, satisfying our customers and ensuring long-term performance for every system we install.

Reviews Tied to Real Installs.

260+ five-star Google reviews. Every single one tied to an actual installed system you can find on our map. Click any review, see the panels on the roof. We don't review-farm. We don't ask after a phone call or a site visit. We ask after commissioning, with the system producing power for a full year. We're the only solar company in North America that ties Google reviews to verifiable installs.

A Real Price List. Like a Real Company.

Homeowners assume every solar installer has a price list. You know, the way real companies do. Most don't. Most are contractors or sales teams who charge whatever they decide the customer will pay. That's why you see "limited-time rebates" and "exclusive discounts" all over the industry: save for actual government programs, a "rebate" is a marketing word chosen to make a discount sound more official, and a discount can't exist unless there's a published baseline price to discount from. And there isn't, because nobody publishes one.

We do. Every panel, inverter, and battery we sell has its price on our pricing page. No commissioned salespeople. No door-to-door. No high-pressure tactics. Read the numbers before we ever speak.

No Middlemen. Start to Finish.

The solar industry runs on middlemen. Most "installers" are either sales teams who don't actually install and instead outsource the job to whichever contractor will take the lead, or contractors who buy those leads from the sales teams. Either way, two parties take a cut, and you pay both.

We do the whole thing, start to finish. No bought leads. No commissioned sales. No subcontracting. Our marketing is word-of-mouth, and our installers are the most seasoned crew in the province. The team that designs your system installs your system, and is still here years later if it ever needs anything.
