About Us

Since 1996

Nova Sun Power started back in ’90’s when I wanted to experiment with a battery back up system for my home. Although a generator would have been easier and cheaper I did some research, found a supplier in Ontario and placed an order. Two batteries, a controller, inverter and two solar panels arrived a couple weeks later. Solar at that time was crazy expensive, like $1100 for a 100 watt panel or $11/watt. This high cost and my desire to have more is what started me in the business. I figured there would be others that might want to buy solar for back up, camps and cottages and there were. It was a slow start, and we got into solar hot air and water systems to have more sales. Eventually Solar PV costs came way down, and we ended up focusing on Solar PV only. With over a thousand customers and hundreds of installation in the Maritimes Nova Sun Power has become a established company with a lot happy customers, many having come back repeatedly.​

​While Solar Power is not for everyone it is one of the best alternatives to buying energy from an electrical utility or gas/oil supplier. The equipment has long warranties and is long lasting with little maintenance to most types of systems. Once you have Solar the cost of the energy it generates is fixed for 25+ years. So, if energy costs increase it’s not an issue, you just save more! ​

​At Nova Sun Power our home and business are solar powered; we really do believe in what we do. We design and install residential and commercial solar power systems, Grid Connected, Off Grid, and batteries can be included. We offer free quotes and site assessments. No high-pressure sales pitches or gimmicks! We also do all of the install including any electrical upgrades; no sub-contracting out installations. Helical piles and excavation is usually subbed out or left to the customer if they want to save some money. 

I am writing to thank you for the tremendous installation of our new solar electric system. I could not have asked for a more worry free experience. You took the time to show me what options I had and how I could make the best system work with my specific needs. Your service during and after the installation has been nothing less than incredible. I really appreciate the fact that you personally came to our house on numerous times and checked on the system. You have made our transition to solar power a stress free experience and I would like to thank you for all your hard work and time."
