F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I need to change my roof shingles?

We will assess your roof before installation of solar panels and advise you if it needs to be replaced. Once panels are installed on rooftop, your shingles will be protected for an extended period.
(note: rooftop solar panels also help to reduce the cost of keeping your home cool in the summer months, acting as a barrier between the sun rays and your roof)

Is their a warranty on the panels?

Yes, there is a 25 year warranty on solar modules and inverters.

What if I want to sell my house once the panels are installed?

No problem! you can just transfer your contract to the new owner. (remember: the value of your home is now increased).

Will the panels produce energy in the winter months?

Yes, the panels produce all year round, although the amount of energy depends on the length of day light hours, and intensity of the sun.

How do solar photovoltaic (PV) panels work?

Solar panels absorb the sun's energy throughout the day and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. Most homes and businesses run on alternating current (AC) electricity, so the DC electricity is then passed through an inverter to convert it to usable AC electricity. At that point, you either use the electricity in your house or send it back to the electric grid.

What are the environmental benefits of solar energy?

Solar power, like other renewable energy resources, has many environmental and health benefits. Going solar reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change, and also results in fewer air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, which can cause health problems.

What are the financial benefits of solar energy?

When you install a solar energy system on your property, you save money on your electricity bills and protect yourself against rising electricity rates in the future. How much you can save depends on the utility rates and solar policies in your area, but going solar is a smart investment regardless of where you live.

By far one of the best experiences working with any kind of contractor. Patient, responsive, takes time to explain every detail, quick to respond even after project has been completed and paid for. Gopal took care of all the paperwork, city permits, adjusted to my complicated schedule and responded to endless questions. System has been installed and is performing great!

Herc Du Soleil was a pleasure to work with. We chose to hire them because they had the best reviews and they also came in with the best quote from the 3 companies we queried. The owner, Gopal, was very friendly, well-informed and prompt. He handled all the paperwork, coordinating with Toronto Hydro for permits and inspections, and kept us in the loop every step of the process. His team did an excellent job with the installation and our solar array is now producing power for our house. Can't recommend this company enough! Daveskos - Homestars Review
We chose Gopal at Herc Du Soleil for our solar project after looking at his exceptional Homestars reviews and getting quotes from a couple solar providers. He provided a very thorough quote in a timely fashion, and his was very competitive.
