FAQs About Solar Power Installation, Maintenance, and Benefits

What is the typical cost of a solar energy project?
The cost of a solar energy project depends on various factors, including the system size, installation complexity, and location. On average, a 1 MW AC solar system costs approximately $2 million. However, this can vary based on specific project requirements and conditions.
How much of the project cost is covered by incentives?
Solar incentives can cover more than 50% of the total project cost. This includes rebates and tax credits that significantly reduce the upfront investment required for installing solar energy systems.
What is the expected return on investment (ROI) for a solar system?
The typical return on investment (ROI) for a solar energy project is generally between 3 to 4 years. The ROI period may vary based on factors such as energy savings, system performance, and available incentives.
What factors determine the feasibility of installing a solar system at my facility?
The feasibility of installing a solar energy system depends on three key factors:

Energy Demand: Does your facility have an average energy demand of over 1,000 kW? Higher energy consumption increases the financial viability of a solar system.

Roof Condition: What is the condition of your roof? Solar panel installation requires a solid, structurally sound roof that can support the weight of the panels. Around 100,000 sq ft of space is required for a 1 MW AC solar system.

Building Ownership: Do you own the building, or do you need approval from a landlord to install solar panels?
How are the savings from solar energy generated?
The annual savings from a solar system are derived from three primary components:

Global Adjustment (GA) Savings: By curtailing your electricity consumption during peak demand hours, solar systems help reduce GA charges, which are a significant portion of your electricity costs.

Demand and Delivery Charge Reduction: Solar energy helps lower demand charges by reducing your peak electricity consumption. This reduction not only lowers demand charges but also decreases delivery charges.

Consumption Charge Savings: Solar-generated electricity directly reduces your reliance on the grid, leading to lower consumption charges on your utility bill.
What is Global Adjustment (GA), and how does it affect my electricity costs?
Global Adjustment (GA) is a charge applied to electricity bills in Ontario, which helps cover the costs of maintaining and expanding the electricity grid. For large industrial users (Class A customers), GA charges are directly linked to their energy consumption during Ontario’s top five peak demand hours. The more electricity consumed during these peak times, the higher the GA charge. Solar energy helps reduce GA payments by offsetting a portion of your load during peak demand periods.
How much energy can a solar system generate?
A standard 1 MW AC solar system generates approximately 1,400,000 kWh of electricity annually, depending on factors such as location, weather, and system orientation. This amount can significantly offset your facility's energy consumption.
What is the quality of the power generated by solar?
The quality of the power produced by solar systems is identical to the electricity you receive from your utility provider. It is delivered at the same voltage levels and frequency, ensuring compatibility with your existing electrical infrastructure.
What is the difference between net metering and load displacement?
Net Metering: With net metering, any excess electricity generated by your solar system is sent back to the grid. You earn a credit that can be applied to future utility bills.

Load Displacement: In this case, the solar energy generated is used directly within your facility. Solar power is fed into your building, reducing your reliance on grid electricity and lowering your overall utility costs.
Does this project use net metering or load displacement?
Load displacement is used, as required by the Save on Energy program.
What incentives are available for solar energy projects?
Currently, there are two major incentives available for solar energy projects:

Save on Energy Program: Provides up to $860,000 in incentives for the installation of a 1 MW AC solar system. This program helps offset the upfront cost of solar installation.

Investment Tax Credit (ITC): A federal tax incentive that covers 20–30% of the remaining project cost after applying Save on Energy funding. This credit significantly reduces the final cost of the system.
When can I expect to receive the incentives?
The timeline for receiving incentives varies depending on the program:

Save on Energy Incentive: Typically, you will receive the rebate after the project is completed and verified. The application process can take several months, and Circuit Energy will assist you throughout the process.

Investment Tax Credit (ITC): The ITC is generally received after your taxes are filed, following the completion of the project. Our team will guide you through the application process to ensure you receive the maximum eligible credit.
