Affordable Solar Energy
Why keep paying rising power rates when you can lock in clean, affordable energy and own your power source with solar energy? With this limited-time offer, you can save even more by booking before July 31. Solar power is one of the smartest home upgrades you can make today:
- It pays for itself — most solar panel installations in Nova Scotia pay off in 8–12 years
- Net metering means your solar power system earns credits year-round
- Your monthly loan payment can be similar to your current Nova Scotia Power bill — but you’re investing in your own energy, not renting it from the utility
