How many solar panels do you need to install?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The right number of solar panels depends on your home and how much electricity you use.

Your installer will consider factors such as your annual energy consumption, available roof space, roof orientation, and shading. The power output of the panels also affects how many you’ll need.

A larger system isn’t automatically better. The goal is to design a system that matches your household’s energy needs and makes good use of the space available.

Start with a professional assessment to find the right solar setup for your home.

You may have thought about solar but, a few things that made you hesitate? Let’s separate fact from fiction:

1. Solar is useless on cloudy days - Panels can still generate electricity without constant direct sunshine.

2. My roof will get damaged - With proper installation, solar panels should not harm a suitable roof.

3. I’ll spend all my time maintaining them - Solar panels generally require minimal routine maintenance.

4. I have to buy a battery too - Battery storage is optional for many grid-connected solar systems.

5. Solar won’t really lower my electricity costs - A properly sized system can reduce how much electricity you need to purchase from the grid.

Solar has changed a lot over the years. Make your decision based on how today’s systems actually work.

Your solar panels work hardest during the day, but what if you could use that energy after the sun goes down? A home battery system stores excess solar power, so it's ready when you need it most, helping reduce your reliance on the grid and providing backup power during outages. It's a smart way to maximize your investment and enjoy greater energy independence.

Do you know that your commercial solar project still qualifies for the Investment Tax Credit (ITC)? If you're unsure whether your project remains eligible, now is the time to review your timeline and understand what requirements apply.

After the July 4, 2026, safe harbor deadline, eligibility is no longer about signing a contract or starting construction. For most new commercial projects, the system must be fully installed, interconnected, and producing electricity by the end of 2027 to still qualify for the 30% federal ITC. Depending on project eligibility, domestic content and energy community bonus adders may increase the total credit to 50% of project costs.

Permitting, utility approvals, and interconnection are often the least predictable stages of a project. As such, waiting can significantly reduce your margin for success.

We encourage businesses to verify project timelines early, coordinate closely with utilities, and work with experienced project teams to keep installations on track before this important deadline.

At SolarMax Technology, we help businesses navigate each stage of the process, so projects stay on schedule and are positioned to meet key eligibility requirements.

Charging your electric vehicle at home is one of the most convenient ways to keep it ready for the road. ​

With a professionally installed Level 2 charger, you can charge your EV up to 5–10 times faster than a standard Level 1 wall outlet. While a Level 1 charger may only add a few miles of range per hour, a Level 2 charger can typically add 20–60 miles of range per hour, making overnight charging practical for most drivers. ​

We provide professional EV charging installation services, helping homeowners choose the right charging solution and enjoy a safe, reliable, and efficient charging experience right from home.

Thinking about going solar? Your roof plays a bigger role than you might think. A solar-ready roof should have enough space for panels, receive plenty of sunlight throughout the day, and be in good condition. Roof age, shading from nearby trees, and the direction and angle of your roof can all affect solar performance.​

If your roof needs repairs or replacement in the near future, we recommend addressing those issues before installing solar panels. Taking the time to evaluate your roof now can help you maximize energy production and avoid unexpected costs later.​

If you are not sure where your roof stands, we can assess your property and help determine whether your home is ready to switch to solar energy.

Imagine a summer evening when a power outage leaves your neighbourhood in the dark. While others wait for the grid to come back online, your essential appliances, lights, and devices keep running. That's the advantage of a home battery system. ​

A home battery stores excess energy generated during the day and makes it available when you need it most. It can help reduce reliance on the grid, increase energy independence, and provide greater peace of mind for your family. ​

We help homeowners find the right battery solution to keep their homes powered, protected, and prepared.
