It's a common myth that solar only works in sunny places. In reality, solar panels generate electricity from daylight — even on cloudy days.
Daylight, not just sunshine
Panels produce less on overcast days, but they still capture diffuse light that passes through clouds.
Cool temperatures help
Solar panels actually work more efficiently in cooler weather, which is an advantage in milder climates.
Long summer days
Northern summers bring long daylight hours, giving your system plenty of time to generate energy.
Add a battery
Battery storage lets you save energy for evenings and cloudy spells, and can keep essentials running during outages.
Start with a site assessment
Roof direction, shading from trees and roof condition all affect performance. A professional assessment shows what's possible.
