Residential Solar Panels

Gopal installed 22 solar panels on my house in Etobicoke. The system went live mid August and has worked flawlessly since. Gopal is easy to work with, he responds quickly to e-mails and phone calls. I appreciated speaking to the person who would ultimately be doing the work from the initial contact. In contrast, other companies I researched sent over salespeople to hype their products, but who did not have actual experience installing solar panels. Gopal does excellent work and is reasonably priced. I'm very happy with my solar panels. All in all an excellent experience working with Gopal.

Great value, excellent service

I selected Herc Du Soleil because his quote offered a better price for a larger solar installation. He kept his word and in addition was a pleasure to work with. I'm completely satisfied with the result.

Install new residential solar energy system

From proposal to final implementation, Herc du Soleil has been responsive, professional, informative and very easy to deal with. On the installation day, the crew arrived on time and worked really hard - especially given the temperatures were close to 30 degrees and probably more on the black roof. They were friendly, respectful and cleaned everything up around the worksite before leaving. Subsequent appointments to do electrical, get ESA approval and finally switch on the system after Toronto Hydro switched out the meter for a bi-directional one, were all efficient and easy.
The system comprises 7 panels for a total of 3.185 kW, 3.8 kW inverter and power optimizers for each panel.

Solar Panel Installation

I contacted 3 companies before selecting Herc Du Soleil to install a 10 kWh system (21 panels). Gopal is very knowledgeable. He handles all required permits and dealt with my service provider to coordinate the installation of the bi-directional meter, etc. Gopal was able to provide me with a number of referees with whom I was able to contact and or visit their properties to view his work prior to me signing a contract The entire process went smoothly thanks to Gopal's ability to communicate and coordinate with all the parties involved. He was very patience when explaining the process and I had a clear understanding of what to expect.
My solar panels were connected to the grid on May 1, 2023, and has generated over 4 MWh to date. I have seen a significant difference in my electricity bill. Thanks, Gopal for a job well done. Please fell free to use me as a reference.

Complete solar installation

Great experience working with Gopal, he took care of all permits, paperwork, planning, calculations and responded to all questions and concerns in a timely manner. We ended up with a massive system ( needed to maximize our output due to two EV) that is already performing quite well, given the weather and time of year circumstances. I would highly recommend Herc Du Soleil to anyone in the GTA and southern Ontario looking to install solar.

Solar panel installation

Gopal, the owner of the Herc Du SOleil is an amazing person to work with. I talked to a few solar insallers to compare their knowledge, commitments, customer services, and price competitiveness. I decided to go with him for a couple of reasons. He is the owner and also the person who does the installation (unlike some of the installers take your money and outsource the works to somebody else). He has been in this business for a long period of time. In a couple of conversation with him prior to the work, he convinced me he is someone who cares a lot about the quality and reputation of his work, cares about his customers and perhaps most importatly trustworthy.

The end-to-end project took a few months and it was a smooth sail throughout. I didn't have to think or worry a bit, because Gopal took care of all the required works, such as permit applications, arrange inspections, roof-top installatons, etc. I didn't need to ask him to rework anything either because he did the work cleanly and perfectly.

All in all, this is a painless and pleasant project. I highly recommend Gopal if you are looking for a solar contractor to make the installation.

We selected Herc du Soleil after contacting several contractors. Gopal was the most knowledgeable and his quote was the most reasonable. He managed all stages of the project (proposal, permit application, connection, building inspection, ESA approval..). He was always responsive, friendly and able to answer all our questions. We are completely satisfied with the project.
