Sebastien's 10.125 kW solar installation in Ottawa, Ontario

0:00hi my name is Sebastian I'm I'm a refrigeration mechanic here in Ottawa recently we got Xolar to come in do some solar panels with the current home Rena

0:08we're doing right now the solar panels uh were definitely one of the big ones and we're trying to get these done before uh while my uh baby's coming well

0:16our biggest motivation was uh to be honest with you the cost uh electricity is not dropping in price the the more people go towards EV the higher it's

0:25going to increase so uh this is the biggest pig on power in the house but uh I love this thing and uh I'm not getting rid of anytime

0:33soon if in the long run we can essentially make a buck on it why wouldn't we with the rebate uh and the U

0:41Greener home loan that it was honestly the perfect time um Zer came up a lot in really high ratings so it seemed to be

0:49the most reasonable company to go with they were adamant about some optional features that for them was the standard

0:56and just the fact that going above and beyond on was their standard really put them ahead of everyone else once the

1:04material stared showing up within a couple weeks it was already on the roof since we've installed the solar panels my usage has dropped by about half and

1:13at this point we're actually supplying the grid to the point where my bill has gone down to a third

1:20of its original price and at this point it's only March and April that I'm seeing so I can just imagine what Summer's going to bring obviously

1:28there's still some repayment to be done but as it stands uh my payments back towards my loan are only a couple

1:36dollars more than what I'm currently saving so the way I see it at this point is within 10 years it's paid off and then anything past that point is money

1:45in my pocket I'm very satisfied I was essentially set up for a 10 KW hour

1:52system and I'm getting 10 kwatt hour on a on a nice sunny day so as it stands most sunny days I'm putting out 70 Kow

2:02for the house so I can't really complain at all to be honest with you the process wasn't bad I haven't needed any real

2:11support um as things were lining up like when the the app became available within one or two days I got contacted by Xolar

2:19they sent me all my information they sent me my links um so on the service side it's been very smooth so there

2:27there's a difference between being able to do something and being able to do it well and the guys who installed it on the roof knew what they were doing

2:35honestly everything went pretty smoothly so I I was quite happy with the with the whole process in general
