On average, a solar system in BC will produce a 6% return the first year. Each consecutive year will see an increased return, as BC Hydro rates continue to increase. April 12th this 6kW system produced 41kWh. #gosolar #solar #SolarROI

Solar's advantage at higher latitudes is temperature. Electrons don't flow as efficiently in high temperatures as resistance increases. This can represent 20%+ losses in systems seeing higher temperatures. April 12 this home's 12kW system made 81kWh #solar #enphase #canadiansolar
