Winter Solar Performance Exceeds Expectations: 16% More Energy, Up to $3,327 CAD Potential Savings
February 22nd, 2026
Hill Green Energy Co., Ltd. is excited to share the winter results from a residential 11 kWp ground-mounted solar system in Borden-Carleton. Over the first three months (Nov 2025 – Jan 2026), the system generated 1,946 kWh — 16% above winter expectations.
Winter Highlights
- Sunny winter days: 70–75 kWh → saving ~$12 in a single day
- Peak output: frequently hits 11 kW (full system capacity)
- Projected annual generation: ~16,820 kWh → up to $3,327 CAD savings (Design: 14,500 kWh / $2,868 CAD)
Compared to typical rooftop systems in PEI (~12,100 kWh/year), this backyard installation produces ~39% more electricity. Thanks to optimized tilt, minimal shading, and extra sunlight captured from snow reflection, this ground-mounted bifacial system proves winter solar in PEI can be surprisingly productive.
Homeowner Feedback
“On winter days, our backyard system generated 75 kWh — saving over $12 in a single day! It exceeded all our expectations.”
Why Install Solar Now
- Panels are now 20–22% efficient, with global costs down 80%
- Electricity prices keep rising, and grid reliability is more challenged than ever
- Solar provides energy independence and long-term savings, even without subsidies
Note: Savings based on current Maritime Electric residential rates (0.172 CAD/kWh + 15% HST). Actual results vary with location, usage, and weather.
PEI’s Solar Electric Rebate Program is currently paused. As a new fiscal year begins in April, homeowners are encouraged to prepare early and stay ready for potential program updates.
