Residential Solar + Battery Storage in Richmond Hill, Ontario

June 7, 2025

Project Overview

A Richmond Hill homeowner partnered with NewDawn Energy Solutions to install a high-performance solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage system designed to maximize energy independence and provide reliable backup power during grid outages. The result is a resilient, future-ready residential solar solution that has already delivered measurable value.

As a solar installer offering solar power and battery storage solutions, we design grid-connected systems tailored to our clients’ needs.

Key Highlights

  • Solar Capacity : 18.76 kW
  • Battery Storage : 40 kWh
  • Solar Panels : Canadian Solar
  • Inverters : SolarEdge (PV) & Schneider (Hybrid)
  • Mounting System : Kinetic Solar
  • Roof Type : Sloped asphalt shingles

Why This System Stands Out

This solar energy system combines robust solar generation with advanced battery storage, enabling the homeowner to store excess solar power for use during nighttime hours or power outages. Key equipment was selected for durability, efficiency, and long-term reliability, ensuring consistent performance year-round.

Panels, inverters and mounting

The rooftop solar array uses Canadian Solar panels on a Kinetic Solar mounting system, paired with a SolarEdge PV inverter and a Schneider hybrid inverter.

Real-World Impact

Since its installation, the system has reduced the homeowner’s reliance on grid electricity to near-zero levels. Just two months post-commissioning, it delivered critical backup power during a major grid outage, allowing uninterrupted electricity access throughout the event—an early and powerful validation of its capabilities.

Whole-home backup power

During that outage, the 40 kWh battery bank provided whole-home power.

Outcome

  • Energy Savings: Nearly eliminated electricity usage from the grid
  • Backup Resilience: Seamless whole-home power during outages
  • Customer Experience: Greater energy independence, peace of mind, and long-term value

For this homeowner, clean energy has nearly eliminated electricity usage from the grid and kept the house powered during an outage.
