Homeowners across Canada are adding solar electric modules to their roofs in order to reduce their environmental footprint and save money on their utility bills. Prince Edward Island gets on average 1,100 to 1,400 peak sun hours annually, and is one of the best places in Canada to implement solar energy solutions. Many homes produce 60% – 100% of their annual power needs through rooftop solar systems. This is a green alternative even to hydro-electric which (although cleaner than coal) is devastating to many ecosystems. Solar electric prices have fallen significantly over the last five years, making this an economically viable solution for homeowners across PEI.
