Solarize Your Home
With Girafe Energies you can save energy and money by using green and renewable energy sources.
Energy costs are constantly climbing; the power of the sun is
constantly getting cheaper. Transform it into the main energy
source for all your daily hot water needs! In some regions, there are
government grants to help you get started...
Grants for specific regions
- Québec: The Agence de l'efficacité énergétique
has announced a major pilot project to subsidize the
installation of several hundred solar hot water heaters (from 1-3
panels) for residential use. Click here for full
details. For a limited time, this grant can be combined with a
federal grant and the short-term renovation tax credits.
- Ontario: The Ontario government matches the grants from Natural Resources Canada and charges no Provincial Sales Tax on the purchase and installation of solar thermal hot water systems. Get full details from GoSolar Ontario. Girafe Energies is not yet on their list, but soon will be. In the meantime, we can still sell and install a system for you.
- Saskatchewan: The
Government of Saskatchewan doubles the grants from Natural Resources
Canada for solar hot water systems, making a total of $1,500. More
information here.
- Nova Scotia: Conserve
Nova Scotia offers a 15% grant for hot water systems on the list
approved by Natural Resources Canada, up to a total of $20,000 (more
with special approval).
When you integrate solar energy into your home, you save a considerable portion of your energy consumption. You also gain greater self-sufficiency and energy independence.
Hot or cold, as long as the sun is shining, your solar system produces energy. Even if it is cloudy the solar panels produce a certain amount of heat, and if this is not sufficient to match your hot water needs, your current water heater is used as a make-up system.Every contribution counts! Join us in reducing our energy consumption, decreasing the level of pollution, improving our quality of life and that of generations to come, and stabilizing your energy costs.
