Beatrice's 7.425 kW solar installation in Oshawa, Ontario

0:00hi I'm be hail and uh I live here with my oldest son and we have our grandchildren with two grandchildren

0:08here every couple weeks so my bills go a little bit higher than normal with that but other than that it's really good I'm

0:16a tax accountant so I'm busy at this time of year but I uh really like the fact that I can reduce

0:24my I had a a friend who actually switched and uh she was finding that it

0:32um really uh helped with her bills so I thought well I will try it I'm always

0:38looking to reduce costs wherever I can I have a client who uh has an older solar

0:45system and he actually has reduced it he gets a check every month they don't do that now but he gets a check every month

0:54and it reduces him and there's four in that family so I figured that it should reduce my bills by doing the same thing

1:01so that's why I wanted to invest in the solar panels I looked on Facebook and Zer was there and uh then I investigated

1:10it I like that it was a a a Canadian company I like the fact that the solar panels seem to be able to work on my uh

1:19house the installation itself was actually quite uh well they did it all um then they had to come back and put

1:28the uh growatt in uh then I had to wait for hydro to actually put the uh dual meter in uh it

1:36all happened within a couple of months uh due to the fact that I was out of the country it it was it it happened fairly

1:44quickly after that I live in a house that was built in 1984 it could not accommodate the solar panel information

1:53coming in that was an unexpected cost but was able to be handled uh and it was fairly done fairly quickly as well my

2:02bill will come near the end of the month and I haven't seen what it will do I have noted on the app that they give you

2:09with it that uh I have close to the number of kilowatt hours that I actually use because I'm only 19 days into it so

2:18by the end of the month it should be over or above what I actually use the kilowatt hours even come when

2:26it's a little bit cloudy out so it it seems seems to be working well there is a government uh rebate uh I think it's

2:36$2,000 that you get as a government grant for having put solar panels on I would recommend it to to everyone uh

2:44because uh even if you have two people in the house you're still going to see uh a reduction my friend she's the only

2:53one living in her house she's single she's seeing a reduction in her bills already I think it will enhance uh when

3:00and if I ever decide to sell one one advantage uh the other is that it will reduce my bills going forward I am

3:09actually being Greener they respond back fairly well by email I was quite happy about that I'm

3:17quite happy with how it was handled and everything's working fine uh it's quite amazing really I'm

3:25quite happy with it
