The company works with clients across diverse sectors—including rural households, remote cabins, and northern municipalities—to deliver advisory services that address the technical and procedural requirements of solar installation in Ontario. Central to this process is navigating the province’s net metering framework, a program that allows electricity customers to generate power on-site and receive credit for any surplus returned to the grid. These credits can then be applied to future electricity consumption, creating the potential for long-term utility savings when systems are designed and installed effectively.

"Many property owners come to us with the belief that adopting solar means disconnecting completely from the grid," said a company spokesperson. "While that’s one option, Ontario’s net metering program offers a balanced pathway for those who want greater energy control without leaving the grid behind. Understanding that balance—between production, usage, and seasonal variability—is essential. We help people make informed choices, not just fast ones."

Bur Oak Resources remains closely aligned with Ontario’s regulatory environment and draws from ongoing updates to energy guidelines issued by provincial authorities. As part of its consulting process, the company assists clients in understanding which components of a solar installation must be reviewed by electrical authorities, how to comply with utility interconnection rules, and what documentation is required to submit a successful net metering Ontario application. While the technology for small-scale solar systems continues to evolve, regulations surrounding installation and safety standards in Ontario remain firm and require consistent attention.

Recent years have shown a steady increase in inquiries related to grid-tied solar systems in regions where energy reliability can fluctuate. In such areas, interest in solar stems not only from environmental goals but also from practical concerns about cost control and energy security. Bur Oak Resources provides tailored guidance based on property location, usage demands, and system configuration to help determine whether net metering is an appropriate option.
