When your panels produce more than you use, the surplus is <strong>fed to the grid<\/strong> and &#8220;credited&#8221; to your account.

Solar becomes all the more attractive if you aim for <strong>autonomy<\/strong>, expect rate increases, or value the environmental side. Worth evaluating project by project, numbers in hand.<\/p><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"section band\"><div class=\"wrap narrow\"><span class=\"kicker\">The electrical side<\/span><h2 style=\"margin:14px 0 12px\">What it involves at home<\/h2>\n<p>A solar system isn&#8217;t just panels on the roof. You need an <strong>inverter<\/strong>, a connection to the electrical panel, a <strong>disconnect switch<\/strong>, and a <strong>net metering agreement<\/strong> with Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec. All of this must be done by a <strong>licensed electrical contractor<\/strong>, to code \u2014 it&#8217;s also the condition for an approved, safe\u2026 and rebate-eligible connection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"note\">Our role: the compliant electrical connection and coordination with Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec, so your solar installation is safe, approved and eligible.<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"section\"><div class=\"wrap narrow\"><span class=\"kicker\">A crucial point<\/span><h2 style=\"margin:14px 0 12px\">Solar during an outage: the surprise<\/h2>\n<p>Many don&#8217;t know: a grid-tied solar system <strong>shuts off automatically during a power outage<\/strong>, even in full sun. It&#8217;s not a defect \u2014 it&#8217;s a safety (&#8220;anti-islanding&#8221;) that stops your production from feeding back into the grid and endangering Hydro line workers. To keep power during an outage, you need to add a <strong>battery<\/strong> with the right transfer equipment.<\/p><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"section band\"><div class=\"wrap narrow\"><span class=\"kicker\">Sizing<\/span><h2 style=\"margin:14px 0 12px\">How many panels for your home?<\/h2>\n<p>It depends on your annual consumption, your roof&#8217;s surface and orientation. With net metering, the goal is to <strong>cover your consumption without overproducing<\/strong> (surpluses aren&#8217;t paid in cash). A south-facing, well-exposed, low-shade roof gets the most.
