And don’t forget, you don’t have to move your entire home off grid to work with TreeTop Solar. Grid-tied residential systems are themost popular type of system TreeTop installs, but Stephen says many of their clients also have an interest in using solar stored in batteries as a backup, especial- ly rural clients, who so often have to deal with sporadic coverage and outages, when the unpre- dictable Nova Scotia weather can cause problems with the power grid. “We are actually seeing a lot more interest in not so much fully off grid, but battery backups for your home.” These backup batteries are a great option for many people, and something Stephen and the team can teach you all about them and can even integrate a battery backup into your current system. Stephen is proud to run a truly local and self- made business. From system selections, planning to installation and down the road maintenance, from start to finish, you are working with TreeTop Solar. Not having to work with a sub-contractor puts many of their customer’s minds at ease and allows Stephen and the team to get to know all of their clients and their specific needs. It is grat - ifying to log-on to the remote system monitor- ing TreeTop Solar uses and see that our systems are up and running and producing energy for our happy customers. So, what does the future hold for TreeTop Solar Inc? Stephen hopes to continue to grow his business and work with more and more Nova Scotians looking to make their green energy goals become realities. He is looking forward to more battery back-up installations, and says he is extremely interested in exploring com- mercial projects. With such an exciting, growing industry, there are always new technologies to be researched, and products to explore. He hopes that new incentives come to fruition for potential clients and is excited to see what the province’s recent commitment to grow the solar industry will look like in practice. 2022 has already brought big announcements and changes for solar in Nova Scotia, and TreeTop Solar Inc is here to watch and help this industry flourish and grow. It’s not hard to see the bright future TreeTop Solar Inc has ahead, and Stephen is an amazing advocate for renewable green energy. He has a
special gift, the gift of being extremely knowl- edgeable and at the same time, is able to make his knowledge accessible to the average person. Many concepts (that might go over most of our heads) he brings out of the trees and down to earth, sharing what he knows...and making us all wiser for it.
