Lightforce installed an Enphase system with microinverters for us, which was ideal given the shading from our chimney and neighbouring trees. The sales rep who visited was excellent — very knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and provided a very detailed quote. The installation, however, was the disappointing part. I was expecting the job to take around three days, but it ended up taking the better part of a month. A design issue meant the system had to be reduced by one panel, and it often felt like the team had multiple installs running at once. I also had to follow up several times to get updates. That said, I’m very happy with the finished product. The system looks tidy on the roof and is securely mounted. We’ve had a couple of major storms since installation, and I was genuinely worried the panels might lift — but they held firm. Because the system uses microinverters, each panel runs independently, and the only hardware on the wall is a small, tidy box next to the switchboard. The app is simple and works well, and I’ve recently discovered that smart‑home platforms like Home Assistant can pull data from it, which is a bonus. In terms of performance, our highest power bill so far has been $90 going into winter, down from around $300. Part of that saving also comes from removing natural gas and installing a hot‑water heat pump, but solar has clearly made a big difference. With energy prices rising so quickly, installing solar feels like a no‑brainer. I was on the fence about giving 3 or 4 stars just purely on the install experience but will give 4 as the benefit outweighs the frustration
