Dartmouth's Solar Potential

Nova Scotia has some of the best potential for solar production in Canada. Dartmouth is situated in a prime spot on the southern edge of the province that gets great sunlight. Solar installations in Dartmouth are highly efficient, overperforming to an average of 1076 kWh of electricity per year for every 1 kW installed.

Dartmouth has a median cost of electricity out of the Canadian provinces. Nova Scotia tends to increase energy costs between 1-3% yearly. The more you pay for electricity – the more you benefit by going solar. Choosing solar energy allows you to save money by avoiding high and increasing electricity rates. With energy prices expected to rise over time, going solar protects you from increasing costs by generating your own power.

Your solar system will connect to the grid in Dartmouth via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is credited by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months. In Nova Scotia, home solar systems up to 27KW in size can be connected to the grid. These credits expire after a year, so it is important that your solar installation is sized to your usage. The costs of electricity, abundant sunlight, and the Net-Metering program in Dartmouth make it one of the best places in Canada for solar.
