View our 45-second drone video of the whole process to see exactly how it's done from start to finish. 👇

For this recent residential solar project in Greely, Ontario, the homeowner needed a complete shingle replacement. Watch how our team at Ottawa Solar Power executed a seamless "detach and reset" process so the roofers could complete their work safely.

🛠️ Our 3-Step Residential Solar Detach & Reset Process:
Step 1: Careful System Removal, Our qualified team safely powers down the residential solar system, disconnects the wiring, and detaches the panels and racking.

Step 2: Safe Storage & Roof Prep, We store your equipment safely out of the way, leaving the roof clear for the roofing crew to remove old shingles and lay down fresh ones.

Step 3: Precision Re-Installation, Once the roof is ready, we return to install fresh roof mounts, re-secure the racking, remount your residential solar panels, and safely reconnect everything back to your home's electrical system.

Your residential solar array is restored to top working condition, safe, leak-free, and back to lowering your electricity bills! ☀️⚡

Some projects remind you why 25+ years in solar still feels fresh.

Last month we took a boat to an island cottage 2 hours from Ottawa - no roads, no utility connection, powered entirely by solar for 20 years.

The mission: upgrade a system that had done its time.

Out: 300lb lead-acid batteries and 20-year-old Xantrex inverters. In: 36kWh of Sigenergy lithium storage and an 11kW inverter - clean, compact, and built for the next two decades.

2,000 lbs of gear. A 20-minute boat ride. Twelve hours on site. One very happy family now running modern power at a remote cabin.

That's the difference between a system that works and a system that performs.

Ontario’s residential solar limit has increased from 10 kW to 12 kW.

For homeowners, this means greater flexibility when designing a solar system and the potential to generate more of your own electricity.

A larger allowable system size can help many properties offset a greater portion of their annual energy consumption while maximizing the benefits of net metering.

Every home is different, and the best solar system is one that is designed around your roof, energy usage, and long-term goals.

If you’ve been considering solar, this is an important update worth understanding.
