Net metering and battery storage help you use solar power at night when your panels aren’t generating electricity. With net metering, you send extra electricity produced during the day back to the grid and earn credits. You can use these credits to offset your electricity use at night.
Battery storage lets you store the extra energy your solar panels produce during the day and use it later when the sun isn’t shining. Both options reduce your reliance on the grid and help ensure you are covered day and night.
We use your electricity usage to design a custom solution that fits your home’s energy needs. Because electricity use can change with the seasons, we ask for at least a full year of energy data to design the right system for you.
Every utility in Ontario and Nova Scotia provides Green Button data, allowing electricity customers to access and manage their energy use online. The data is in a standard format, making it easy to analyze and share with a third party like Kizuna.
We can use this data to analyze your energy usage during the assessment process and design a custom solution for you, whether you are looking for an EV Charging, Battery Backup or Solar solution .
Kizuna uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries for home energy storage because they are safer and perform better than other lithium-ion batteries. LFP batteries last longer and can handle more charge and discharge cycles, making them ideal for daily use in your home.
Yes, you can use a home battery storage system without solar panels. A battery can provide backup power during blackouts, store electricity when rates are low, and use it when rates are high to save money.
It helps you rely less on the grid and can stabilize power in areas with unreliable supply. Batteries can also lower your electricity costs if you have demand charges by reducing your peak power use.
Yes, if you pair your backup power system with solar, you can leverage the program, which offers up to $40,000 in interest-free loans. For more information about eligibility, please review the Canada Greener Homes Loan site.
Depending on your location, there may be a fee for the on-site visit. However, we will waive this fee if you proceed with the installation.
Essential loads backup power systems provide electricity to only the most important appliances and circuits during a power outage. This usually covers essential items like refrigerators, freezers, lights, internet routers, sump pumps, medical devices, and heating systems.
Whole home backup power systems supply electricity to your entire home during a power outage, ensuring that all appliances, lights, electronic devices, heating and cooling systems, and outlets keep working as if the power never went out.
We consider two options for your home backup power assessment: whole home backup power and essential (or critical) loads backup power. We prioritize battery backup, but in some cases, we may suggest using a generator as well.
