About MapleLeaf Home Solar
We are a Canadian residential solar specialist focused on dependable design, meticulous installation, and honest guidance. Our mission is to simplify adoption with clear pricing, rebate advocacy, and flexible financing, delivering durable systems that perform year‑round in Canadian conditions.
How It Works
From your first virtual assessment to final utility approval, our streamlined process clarifies choices, cuts paperwork, and coordinates every step so you confidently move from estimate to energization with predictable timelines, verified quality, and measurable savings.
Federal and Provincial Eligibility Review
We analyze your address, utility territory, and project scope to confirm applicable programs and deadlines. You receive a clear checklist outlining expected amounts, milestones, and required evidence, ensuring your application meets criteria and is submitted correctly the first time.
Utility and Municipal Programs
Many utilities and municipalities offer performance credits, interconnection bill credits, or low‑interest loans. We coordinate applications with your installation timeline, avoiding missed windows and ensuring your system configuration satisfies program rules and metering standards for consistent savings.
Documentation & Audit Support
Our specialists collect invoices, photos, specifications, and commissioning reports, then assemble compliant submissions. If a program requests clarifications or site verifications, we manage responses and provide technical evidence so your incentives are processed smoothly and paid without delays.
Roof Geometry & Structural Review
We map rafters, roof planes, vents, and setbacks, evaluating snow loads and wind exposure. When needed, an engineer reviews structure and local code requirements. The final layout optimizes string lengths, wire runs, and maintenance access without compromising safety or roof longevity.

Our certified crews protect landscaping, seal penetrations, and follow fall protection and electrical lockout protocols. We use torque‑verified hardware and code‑compliant wiring practices, documenting each step with photos so you have a record of workmanship and materials.
Commissioning & Handover
After testing strings, inverters, and monitoring, we verify production and configure alerts. You receive a digital owner’s package with system schematics, warranties, and maintenance tips, along with training on your monitoring app to track performance from day one.
Equipment & Technology
We specify Tier‑1 panels, reliable inverters, robust racking, and weather‑tested balance‑of‑system components to ensure durability, efficiency, and safety, all supported by manufacturer warranties and local service resources for fast, dependable assistance when needed.
High‑Efficiency Panels Built for Canada
Our panels feature strong snow‑load ratings, anti‑reflective glass, durable frames, and excellent low‑light response. They are tested for hail resistance and backed by performance warranties, ensuring consistent output during winter months and long productive lifespans under harsh conditions.
Inverters and Power Optimizers
We match string inverters or microinverters to your roof geometry and shading profile. Rapid shutdown, arc‑fault detection, and module‑level monitoring enhance safety and diagnostics, while thoughtful placement reduces noise, improves serviceability, and maintains system uptime through seasonal changes.
Racking, Flashing, and Weatherproofing
Snow guards, sealed penetrations, and corrosion‑resistant hardware protect your roof. We select racking that meets local load requirements and integrates cleanly with shingles or metal. Attention to sealing and drainage safeguards waterproofing and minimizes future maintenance concerns.
Financing Options
We offer flexible loan structures with fixed rates, variable terms, and open prepayment, aligning monthly payments with expected bill savings so you can adopt solar sooner without straining household cash flow or compromising long‑term financial goals.
Secured and Unsecured Loans
Choose between home‑equity backed options for lower rates or unsecured loans for faster approvals. We present amortization scenarios, total cost of borrowing, and paydown strategies so you understand lifetime costs and can prepay without penalty where applicable.
Payment Plans to Match Savings
We structure monthly payments to approximate projected utility savings, smoothing your budget during early years. Transparent disclosures outline fees, insurance requirements, and rate protections, helping you select a plan that remains affordable even if energy prices fluctuate.
Energy Savings & ROI
We model production, utility rates, net‑metering credits, and degradation to forecast payback and total lifetime savings, letting you compare scenarios and understand sensitivity to weather, rate changes, and consumption patterns before you commit.
Bill Reduction Modeling
Our analysis uses your hourly usage, rate plan, and solar yield to calculate expected monthly bills after installation. We quantify shoulder seasons, winter effects, and summer peaks, then present side‑by‑side comparisons to validate realistic, conservative savings estimates.
Net Metering & Credit Strategy
We align system size with local net‑metering rules, time‑of‑use rates, and carryover policies, ensuring credits are used efficiently. You’ll see how seasonal balances resolve and how slight sizing adjustments can optimize savings without overbuilding capacity.
Long‑Term Performance & Degradation
We model panel degradation, inverter replacement cycles, and maintenance costs over twenty‑five years. The projection includes inflation assumptions and potential utility rate escalations, providing a thorough, transparent view of payback and internal rate of return under realistic conditions.
Permits & Compliance
Our team navigates building codes, electrical standards, and utility interconnection policies across Canadian jurisdictions, ensuring your installation meets all safety and documentation requirements for inspections, warranties, and homeowner insurance coverage.
Local Codes and Standards
We adhere to Canadian Electrical Code requirements, municipal bylaws, and utility standards. System labeling, conductor sizing, and protective devices are documented and verified, helping inspections pass smoothly while protecting occupants, responders, and your property.
Utility Interconnection
We prepare single‑line diagrams, equipment lists, and meter requests, then coordinate tests and approvals with your utility. Clear communication and complete documentation reduce back‑and‑forth, accelerating permission to operate and minimizing project delays and rescheduling.
