What we do

Solar built for the way a business uses power

TRU View works only on commercial projects. We size the system to your load, your building and your budget, then build it with our own crew.

Commercial rooftop solar

Flat and low-slope roofs on warehouses, plants, offices, retail and farm buildings.

  • Layout around rooftop units, drains and access paths
  • Structural and electrical engineering review
  • Sized to the load you actually have

Carports and ground mounts

When the roof is not the right place, the parking lot or the land beside the building often is.

  • Solar canopies over staff and customer parking
  • Fixed-tilt ground arrays on unused land
  • Ready for EV chargers under the canopy
YOUR NEW PEAKTRIMMED BY THE BATTERY

Battery storage

Storage that works with the array: it trims your peaks and keeps the loads that matter running in an outage.

  • Peak shaving to bring down demand charges
  • Backup for critical loads
  • Added with the solar or to a system you already have

Solar plus storage

Bring the peak down, and keep working when the grid does not

Many businesses pay for their highest draw of the month as well as the energy they use. Solar carries part of the load in daylight. A battery covers what is left of the peak, and can keep critical loads running through an outage.

  • Sized from your own interval data, not a rule of thumb
  • Works with a new array or one you already have
  • The same crew installs the solar, the storage and the switchgear

One weekday at a business

Example only. We model yours from your real interval data.

How a project runs

Five steps, one point of contact

You deal with one team from the first conversation to the day the system is switched on.

  1. 01

    Bills and site review

    Send us a year of bills. We look at your load, your roof or land and your service, and tell you plainly whether solar fits.

  2. 02

    Design and engineering

    A layout, a production estimate and a fixed price, with structural and electrical engineering where the job needs it.

  3. 03

    Permits and connection

    We handle the utility connection application, the building permit and the ESA notification for you.

  4. 04

    Installation

    Our own crew, led by a licensed master electrician, builds around your working hours.

  5. 05

    Commissioning

    ESA inspection, utility sign-off and a walk-through. You get monitoring so you can see what the system makes.

Incentives and tax

We check what your project qualifies for

Programs change, so we confirm the current terms on the official source when we size your system and build them into the numbers you see.

Up to 30%

Canada's Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit covers up to 30% of the capital cost of solar and battery storage for taxable Canadian corporations, for equipment in use by the end of 2033.

Canada Revenue Agency

Save on Energy Retrofit program

Ontario's Retrofit program has an incentive for solar that offsets a business's own load. The rate and rules are updated from time to time, so we confirm them before you commit.

Save on Energy

This is general information, not tax advice. Your accountant can confirm how the credit applies to your business.
