Someday Dartmouth, we're gonna chase those smokestacks right out of town. 🏭

Although we're now based in Hammonds Plains, our Dartmouth roots run deep. Several of our tenured team members grew up on the Darkside. Perhaps it was the presence of Tufts Cove growing up that got us excited about solar energy. β˜€οΈ

Here's a few of our Dartmouth projects over the years. Have a flip through and you may see some of your neighbours!

Whether you're in Dartmouth or beyond, hit us up if you want to make our grid a little more sustainable while saving a bundle on your next power bill.

A few weeks ago my 3 year old son Auggie was admitted to the IWK with pneumonia. We spent 12 days there getting treatment, but thanks to the incredible doctors, nurses and staff, he's now happy and healthy again.

One unexpected highlight? Watching a solar install in action from his hospital room! Right across the street the Solar Ascent crew was working on the new Ronald McDonald House Charities Atlantic building, bringing clean energy to a place that helps so many families in tough times.

Shoutout to all the amazing organizations out there supporting sick kids and their families - you make a world of difference.

Our team gets really excited when we get to install batteries with a solar energy system! πŸ”‹

We talk a lot about adding battery back-up capabilities to our grid-tied solar energy systems with prospective clients. Unfortunately the cost of energy storage is still a bit out of reach for most people. That is changing relatively quickly though as battery production globally is ramping up and costs are starting to come down. πŸ“‰

Pictured here is the crew after mounting 2x SolarEdge 9.7kWh battery packs for a really cool new house in Kingsburg, NS! Connected to a hybrid 10kW SolarEdge inverter and backup interface, the batteries will be able to run select loads in the home on the event of a grid outage, and the roof-top array will help keep them charged when the sun is shining! β˜€οΈ

Kudos to the crew for getting these in place! They're heavy (267 lbs each)! πŸ’ͺ

Hi Solar Ascent Facebook followers! Unfortunately we ran into some issues where our page ownership was taken over by what appears to be Russian hackers. We tried for a long while to regain ownership with Meta's support team but didn't get anywhere.

We'll be saying goodbye to this page and moving to a new one! Please follow our new page at https://facebook.com/solarascent.ca

Thank you for all your support!

It's been a rough Winter for solar production this year but we're stoked to see some solid production happening at our Hammonds Plains Office! Yesterday was the best day of the year (so far). β˜€οΈ

Our 10kW solar array is connected to a 7.6kW SolarEdge inverter. With this technology we can remotely monitor system production to see how it's doing!

At today's rates yesterday our trusty array saved us about $6.30 in energy costs. While that doesn't sound like a ton of money, that's our return on investment in action with no effort or maintenance to worry about. Even in the lower production months our solar array will keep earning us credits and saving us money!

Want to save some dough on your power bills? Drop us a line! It's always a good time to install solar.

Ever wondered how solar energy works with your utility bill? Net metering allows you to send excess solar energy back to the grid and earn credits on your bill, and you don't need any batteries! Here’s how it works:

βœ… Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight
βœ… Inverter converts DC power into usable AC power
βœ… Your home uses solar energy first
βœ… Extra energy? It flows to the grid, earning you credits πŸ’°
βœ… At night or on cloudy days? You draw power from the grid

This means lower energy bills and maximized savings while staying connected to reliable power. 🌎⚑

With all the buzz around Canada-U.S. relations and economic uncertainty, many homeowners and business owners are wondering: How do I protect myself from rising costs and financial volatility?

Here’s the truth - energy independence is financial stability.

β˜€οΈ Lock in your power costs – With solar, you’re insulating yourself from unpredictable electricity rates and inflation.
β˜€οΈ Reduce reliance on volatile energy markets – No matter what happens politically, your solar investment keeps working for you.
β˜€οΈ Increase your property value – Homes with solar sell for more, making it a solid long-term asset.
β˜€οΈ Government incentives – Take advantage of current rebates, interest-free loans, and tax credits before they change.

In times of uncertainty, investing in solar is one of the smartest moves you can make. It’s a stable, predictable return - powered by the sun.

Want to see how solar can protect your bottom line? Let’s talk.

Anyone familiar with our channel knows we love showcasing our installation teams and their incredible work! πŸ’ͺπŸ”§

But before the first panel goes up, there’s a ton of work that happens behind the scenes. As you can see here, the design phase is crucial to ensuring a system fits both the client’s goals and the rooftop! πŸ“β˜€οΈ

This side-by-side comparison of a recent commercial project is a perfect example of what happens when planning and ex*****on come together seamlessly. 🀝
