At a Glance
Firefly Solar designs and installs solar panel systems for residential, commercial, agricultural, and builder projects across Canada. We size each system to your electricity usage, site constraints, and local net-metering rules, then deliver end-to-end: design, permits, installation, inspection, and support.

SOLAR PANELS
Solar System Components
PV Modules (Solar Panels)
Convert sunlight to DC electricity. Module quality matters, but so does layout and mounting.
Solar module/panel cost has declined dramatically, making systems increasingly accessible.

How Solar Panels Work
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells. When light strikes these cells, it excites electrons and creates electrical current. No moving parts, no fuel, no emissions.

Sunlight hits your panels and generates DC electricity
Inverter converts DC to AC power your home uses
Excess production flows to grid via net metering
When panels don't produce enough you draw from grid
The entire system operates automatically. Modern photovoltaic panels in Canada produce clean electricity for 25-30 years with minimal maintenance.

Installation Types
Structural capacity for snow and wind loads
Electrical panel capacity and service size
Orientation and shading patterns affecting production
Roof condition and remaining lifespan
The most common path for solar panels for home and business. Rooftop solar uses existing roof area to capture maximum sunlight without requiring additional land.
