Plain-language guides written for Canadian conditions — sizing, batteries, safety and rate plans. Free to download, no email required.
These are the questions we get asked most, worked out on a page each. Written for Canadian sun hours, winters and electrical code — not copied from a US sales site.
The five-number method, start to finish — daily loads, battery bank, array, inverter and charge controller — with worked Canadian examples and Prairie sun-hour figures.
How off-grid batteries actually work — lithium versus lead-acid, real runtime figures for common loads, and how to size a bank that survives a Canadian winter.
The safety measures that matter most in a solar and battery install — electrical code, battery handling, wiring and the checks to run before you energize.
How Ontario homeowners on Ultra-Low Overnight or Time-of-Use pricing use a hybrid solar-and-battery system to charge cheap and avoid peak rates.
Fill in what you know — loads, site, grid, goals — and send it back. We'll design a complete, matched system and quote it, free. Email it to support@neighborhoodsolarstore.ca or attach it to a quote request.
You don't have to work any of this out yourself. Tell us what you want to power — even a rough list — and we'll size the whole system, quote it openly, and the design is yours to keep either way.
