What Fredericton Homeowners Say
See how solar energy is transforming homes across Fredericton.
"We were, overall, delighted with the solar panel solution from Xolar. The process, from first consultation, to operation and receiving the Greener Homes Loan took almost exactly 6 months, which we were very happy with given we started to process in December.We were quite concerned about the look of the panels as our South facing roof faces the street and we live in a neighbourhood with a lot of nice homes. But we were really delighted with how they look - they just blend in nicely with the roof and many of friends have said they hardly noticed them. They also present a modern appearance.As you can see, the panels are only over the garage but that is estimated to be sufficient to cover around 90% of our hydro use, and we use only electricity, with geothermal heating and cooling, and have an electric car. So far, the hydro generation matches the estimates provided by Xolar.The initial presentation of the solution, by Chris Isidori, was very thorough, and he was available to answer all of my questions. The Xolar website is also excellent and there are many customer solutions listed there to read about, and speak to their experience. The installation team were a joy to work with - they arrived on time, were extremely pleasant, completed the entire install in less than 2 days, and cleaned up very well at the end.Overall, the solution exceeded our expectations and we are very much enjoying making a contribution to the energy grid while saving money in the long term. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Xolar if you are considering installing a solar array on your home."
Alistair Macleod
"Loved the information that was shared during the process. Xolar was better right from the start. They provided more information about the entire process then the other two businesses that I received quotes from. Installation was quicker than expected there was a couple small issues but they were looked after quickly. Solar has now been running for 4 months and starting to see reduced energy bills. Very impressed!"
Eric McClenaghan
"Working with Xolar was straightforward and simple. They took care of all the details, assisted me with government programs and responded to questions promptly. I’m particularly pleased with Lauren who was always available to me when I needed anything at all!"

Protect Yourself from Rising Electricity Costs
The more you pay for electricity – the more you benefit by going solar.
Choosing solar energy allows you to save money by avoiding these high electricity rates.
The New Brunswick Energy Board raised all rates by 20% for the year 2024.
With energy prices expected to rise even more, going solar protects you from increasing costs by generating your own power.
Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in New Brunswick
Your solar system will connect to the grid via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is saved in credits by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months.
In New Brunswick, with Time-of-Use billing, On-Peak hours coincide with peak solar generation times, earning you credits at higher On-Peak rates.
Net Metering in New Brunswick makes it simple for a home solar installation to cover your bills year-round.
