What is the difference between a backup system and going fully off-grid?

A backup system is connected to the grid (grid-tied) and uses batteries to power your essential appliances only when the power goes out, offering security during storms. Going "off-grid" means you are completely disconnected from the utility company and rely 100% on your solar and batteries for power. We design and supply custom solutions for both scenarios, ensuring you have the right capacity whether you want emergency security or total independence.

Can I install these solar kits on my RV or boat myself?

Many of our marine and RV customers are DIY enthusiasts. We provide compatible components and expert advice to help you build a safe, reliable system. However, working with DC electricity requires care. We offer system design services and wiring diagrams to ensure your Victron and lithium setup is installed safely. If you prefer a hands-off approach, we can recommend trusted local installers to do the work for you.

Can you help me apply for the Greener Homes Loan or IESO rebates?

Yes, absolutely. Navigating government incentives can be confusing, but we handle the heavy lifting for you. We assist with the technical documentation required for the Canada Greener Homes Loan (offering up to $40,000 interest-free) and manage IESO rebate applications to help you secure up to $5,000 in grants. Our goal is to make your solar upgrade as affordable as possible by ensuring you don't miss out on available funding.

Does NRGA assist with IESO rebate applications for contractors?

Yes, our team manages the full IESO rebate process for qualifying projects—reducing admin work and helping your clients realize maximum energy savings.

How long do SOK or Epoch lithium batteries last compared to lead-acid?

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, like the SOK and Epoch models we stock, are a significant upgrade over traditional lead-acid batteries. They typically last 10 years or more (3,000–5,000 cycles) compared to just 2–3 years for lead-acid. They also weigh about half as much and provide consistent power without needing maintenance. While the upfront cost is higher, the long-term ROI is much better because you won't need to replace them nearly as often.
