Guide to Installing Residential Solar Systems

When choosing to go solar, there are several important steps and considerations to help size and install the right grid-tie solar system for your property.

  • Determine your energy usage. Review your utility bill to see how much electricity you consume and what you currently pay under Tier 1 and Tier 2 pricing.

  • Define your solar goals. Do you want to reach Net Zero, eliminate Tier 2 costs, or simply reduce your electricity bill while supporting renewable energy?

  • Check the size of your electrical panel. This information is usually listed on a label near the main breaker or shut-off switch. Panel capacity may determine how large of a solar system can be installed.

  • Measure your available installation area. Calculate the roof space available for solar panels, or consider a ground-mounted system if roof space is limited.

  • Choose the right grid-tie inverter system. Grid-tie inverters convert the DC power produced by solar panels into AC electricity your home can use. Many of our kits include trusted solutions such as NEP microinverters for efficient panel-level performance.

  • Apply for permits and utility approval. Most grid-tie systems require an interconnection application and approval from your local utility. A licensed electrician can assist with permitting and final grid connection.

  • Learn more before you start. Read our blog post What is Grid Tie and How to Get Started to better understand grid-tied solar systems, inverters, and installation basics.

Grid Tie FAQ - CDN Solar

FAQ Icon Grid-Tied Solar FAQs

A grid-tied solar system is connected to your local utility grid. It lets you power your home with solar energy and automatically draws power from the grid when needed. You can also send excess electricity back to the grid and potentially earn credits through net metering programs.

No batteries are required. Our grid-tie kits work without energy storage, converting solar power directly into usable electricity for your home. This reduces costs and simplifies installation while still lowering your utility bill.

Microinverters, like the NEP BDM-800, are installed behind each solar panel to convert DC to AC power at the source. This improves efficiency, allows panel-level monitoring, and ensures better performance if one panel is shaded or underperforms.

This kit features high-efficiency 500W Thornova solar panels, 800W NEP microinverters, a reliable SunModo mounting system, and the BDG-256 gateway for real-time monitoring. It’s ideal for homeowners looking for a powerful, scalable grid-tied system.

The BDG-256 gateway provides panel-level system monitoring. With Wi-Fi connectivity and an outdoor-rated enclosure, it lets you track system performance, diagnose issues, and optimize energy output from anywhere via the cloud.

This kit is designed for easy installation. With plug-and-play microinverters and SunModo’s pitched roof mounting system, most handy homeowners or local contractors can handle the setup. A certified electrician is required for the final grid connection.

Yes, grid-tied systems reduce your monthly utility bill by using solar energy first. You may also qualify for net metering, provincial incentives, or federal rebates in Canada—further lowering your system payback time.
