Solar Power as an Investment
With its 35 year expected lifespan and 20 year guaranteed buyback rate, solar is a stable, long term investment. A solar installation generates on average about $750-1000 per KW installed per year in income, meaning most systems pay for themselves in about 10 years. That represents a rate of return (between 10%-13% ROI) many times higher than GICs or Canada Savings Bonds.

Solar Photo-Voltaics
Solar Photo-Voltaics (or solar PV) refers to the installation of solar panels for the purposes of generating clean energy. This energy can be used by the homeowner or sold back to the power grid in order to turn a profit. It benefits not only the homeowner but also the environment, as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
