You’ve heard us share about Smart Growth and how the efficient use of land and the strategic location of Watercolour make the growth that is happening in Westport – very SMART! But what about the solar power homes that are popping up? How smart is that?

Going solar multiplies the positive impact of Land Ark Homes’ building a walkable, all-electric, Net Zero Ready, fossil fuel-free neighbourhood in this beautiful historic village

Increase Your Home’s Market Value!

Our homeowners are discovering the future of sustainable living at Watercolour Westport, where Land Ark Homes is leading the way with Net Zero Ready homes powered by solar energy. Our community not only embraces clean energy but also offers homeowners significant financial benefits through Ontario’s Net-Metering program. This initiative allows you to generate clean energy for your home and earn credits for any surplus electricity sent back to the grid, potentially eliminating your hydro bill entirely. Can you imagine!? 

Investing in solar power not only enhances your home’s energy efficiency but also increases its market value. Homes equipped with solar installations often sell for a premium, while solar panels are not factored into property tax assessments, ensuring no additional tax burden.

Worried About Snow?

Rest assured that solar panels are designed to shed snow naturally, maintaining efficiency even in winter conditions. While it’s important to note that a solar system will not provide backup power during outages unless paired with battery storage, the long-term benefits outweigh this minor consideration.

Maintenance costs are minimal; our solar systems are virtually maintenance-free, requiring little more than occasional checks on critter guards to keep wildlife at bay. Additionally, insurance for solar arrays is typically affordable, easily added to existing policies.

With an expected lifespan of over 30 years and warranties guaranteeing power output for 25 years, your investment in solar technology is secure. As technology advances, your existing system will remain effective, providing consistent energy generation.

Our homes are meticulously designed and certified Net Zero Ready by Homesol Building Solutions, ensuring you receive tailored energy solutions.

You can power your home and your car – effortlessly!
