FAQ
Why Evolve Green?
Evolve Green has been the industry leader in Solar Power for over 15 years. We are a pioneer in the solar field and have fought hard (against hydro mostly lol) to get Solar on as many homes as possible.
One thing that makes us different, besides the high quality installations, is that we stay with our clients right to the end. We have exceptional after sale support because satisfied customers are our #1 priority.
You can also look up all of our 5 star reviews on Google and Facebook, and we have an A+ rating with BBB.
Why solar panels?
You have a problem. In a little over 12 years, your hydro bill is going to be 2x what it is now. They raise their rates every year!
Solar Power helps to protect you from those price increases by locking in your rate.
You can own your power instead of renting it and have all of your payments go towards equity in your home, rather than towards nothing with hydro.
How much will I save with solar?
The smallest residential grid tied system we usually install can save you over $30,000 during the life of the system.
The larger ones can save you over $70,000.
Commercial systems can save in the $100,000s and more!
What is the process of getting solar and receiving the grant?
There is a long process for receiving the grant and rebate. The best way to get started is to make an appointment with one of our Energy Specialists by filling out the form, calling 1-866-5-EVOLVE (538-6583), or emailing contact@evolvegreen.ca
We will guide you along every step of the way to make the process as easy as possible. We can also get you in faster for your EnerGuide evaluations. It can take up to 6 months if you go the normal route, but we can get you started in weeks.
You also will want to get started by applying for the grant. Go to our website, www.evolvegreen.ca , click “Sign Up For Grant Here” under the banner and follow the instructions on the site.
Do you offer financing?
The Greener Homes Loan is a $40,000 interest free 10-year loan.
MB Hydro also offers a $20,000 4.8% 15-year loan.
Is there a warranty?
How reliable is solar power as a backup power source?
Solar is as reliable as the sun itself. Even on overcast days, panels still can produce up to 50%, and the batteries will have a lot of power stored in them for you to run off of.
We can’t back up everything in the house. Electric heat is a challenge with solar.
But we can back up your most critical systems such as sump pumps, fridges, freezers, lights, electronics, and communication devices.
We can also back up the controls, fans and pumps for gas heat, propane heat and wood boilers.
Our Energy Specialists will custom design a backup or off-grid battery system to suit your needs!
