Costing Solar Equipment - Ontario
When I first started down the road to purchase solar I very much wanted to understand the cost structure of a solar installation.
I discovered two vendors that display prices, and while these are "retail" prices they were reasonably competitive and provided me an idea as to what it would take:
1) Solacity Inc.
2) Dommel Valley Green Power
3) DNM Solar Solutions Inc.
If you are looking at solar you'll get some great information on pricing of panels and inverters. Add to that the cost of racking, wiring, labour to install, electrician, building permit if required (not required in Toronto unless you are changing your roofline), ESA inspection, and Toronto Hydro hookup.
If you need to borrow to purchase and install the system, interest is deductible to the extent the project can be realistically forecast to make a profit. The solar system (other than the inverter) is generally warrantied for 20-25 years and the information I've received is that the panels should last 40 years (although they will degrade over time).
