Solar

Red Energy offers solar installation and battery storage. The company also provides free consultations for anyone considering switching to solar and unsure of their options.

• Choose home solar installation, battery storage, or both.
• All Red Energy solar options include anti-reflective and anti-soiling surfaces to reduce power loss and get more performance out of your photovoltaics, in both ideal and low-light conditions. Your new home solar system also comes with up to 12 years product warranty, for more confident returns on investment.
• Red Energy can hook your residency up with home battery storage so solar energy can keep powering your home even when the sun goes down, or run appliances in a blackout. This lithium-ion home battery will store energy created during the day for later use to reduce your reliance on the grid.
• When you request a Red Energy solar consultation you can also find out about energy monitoring systems, to help keep an eye on your home photovoltaic energy production, and your power usage.
