Solar built for Ontario rooftops and rates

A properly sized solar array lowers your hydro bill and, with battery backup, keeps the lights on when the grid does not. We install grid-tied and battery systems across Lambton, Middlesex, and the surrounding counties.

The Hayter Group has been a solar installer in the heart of Ontario renewable-energy country for years, from residential rooftops to larger ground-mount arrays. We size the system to your roof, your usage, and your goals, and we handle the net-metering setup so the credit you earn in July helps pay for January.

Pair panels with battery storage and a home becomes far more resilient. We design systems that keep critical loads running through outages and that integrate cleanly with heat pumps, EV chargers, and geothermal for a fully electric home.

Net metering & storage

Make the summer sun pay for January

Under net metering, the excess your array generates on long summer days earns a credit that offsets the power you draw through a dark Southwestern Ontario winter. We set up the net-metering agreement and the billing so the credit flows the right way.

Add battery storage and the system keeps critical loads running through outages, and pairs cleanly with a heat pump, an EV charger, or a geothermal system for a fully electric home that barely touches the grid.

How the math works

What a solar bill actually does

Ontario net metering lets your meter run backward. Here is the shape of a year, in plain terms. Real numbers depend on your roof, your usage, and your local utility.

Summer

Long days mean the array makes more than the home uses. The extra flows to the grid and banks as a credit on your bill.

Winter

Short days mean you draw more than you make. You pull that power back, and the summer credit offsets it instead of you paying for it twice.

Over a year

A right-sized system aims to cover your annual use, leaving the bill at roughly the fixed connection charge. We model your actual usage before you commit.

Every roof and every utility are a little different. Our free evaluation models your real usage and your roof's exposure, so the payback estimate is grounded in your numbers, not a brochure.
