Why isn’t everyone going solar?
Common barriers to going solar are generally considered to be upfront capital cost and site considerations. Solar energy systems are a significant investment often exacerbated by prerequisite energy efficiency upgrades or roof re-shingling. Some consider the “sticker shock” to be a deterrent; however, existing rebates and financing programs coming online will help address this concern. The Go Solar program aims to reduce the barriers to accessing information and understanding solar technologies, making solar a real option in the short term, for many Ontario homeowners.
