New Home Installation

Residential Solar Power Grid Tie Installation If you are not living off-the-grid, it is important to make sure that you are grid-tied when converting to solar energy. Blaze Solar offers residential solar power grid tie installation in Saskatchewan. The process of grid-tie is essential in converting direct current (DC) into an alternating current (AC). Using the appropriate grid-tie inverter for our customers, we make it possible to transfer generated power from your system safely and efficiently back to the grid.  There are two reasons why grid-tie benefits homeowners. The first is it’s financially beneficial. When you utilize a grid-tie system, you are able to efficiently inject excess power (commonly referred to as net power) back into the electric utility grid. There are several payment options you can arrange with an electric utility company, such as net metering and feed-in tariff.

Existing Home Installation

For those who receive residential solar power grid tie installation from us, our electric utility partner, Saskpower, offers a Net Metering Program. In addition to this program, they also offer a rebate equivalent of 20% (up to a maximum of $20,000) for new grid installation. The second benefit is that when properly installed, solar power grid-tied systems allow homeowners to use generated power without batteries and excessive rewiring. In the event that the production of power is insufficient, the electricity grid covers the shortage—in our case, SaskPower will provide your home with enough energy to keep it up and running. This partnership ensures that both SaskPower and our consumers are making the most of solar power energy.

Blaze Solar is here to offer residential grid-tie system installation to existing homes, as well as new builds. Saskatchewan, Canada, receives the most sun exposure over the rest of Canada, and sports average winter temperatures of (-30° C). Let us help you cut the costs of consistently rising utility prices and optimize your home with solar energy.

Ground Mount Solar Systems Installation

Owning a Solar PV System is nearly a care free experience! The only real maintenance needed is snow and dust removal. Ground mounted solar offers an advantage over roof mounted solar as it allows for much easier access when you go out in the morning to shovel your driveway and clean off your solar array versus having to get to your roof to clear or clean your panels. Solar panels actually work more efficiently in cooler temperatures, making Saskatchewan winters and its sunny disposition ideal for solar systems.  â€‹When we consult with you about what solar package will best suit your energy needs, we will discuss your energy consumption and what will be the best choice of position and location of your panels. The alternative to roof mounting is ground mount solar systems as they optimize your panel's direction and production by facing due south. This helps to ensure the most energy production in the event you have a residence that is severely shaded most of the day.  In addition to discussing where your ground mount solar installation will be most beneficial, we will also discuss the different types of inverters to use and whether or not micro-inverters would be more beneficial over the normal string inverter. For deeply shaded areas, micro-inverters can ensure all your panels are being utilized at their full potential instead of producing at the weakest panel’s output.
