Bifacial solar panels standing upright on screw piles, making power from both faces. No roof needed, no snow to shovel off, and the fence line you were going to build anyway. Designed and installed across Northern Ontario for homes, farms and businesses.
Lots of land, a roof that's shaded, old or the wrong way round
Plenty of places up here have more yard than roof. The roof faces the wrong way, it's due for shingles, it's shaded by the bush, or you just don't want holes in it. A solar fence puts the panels on the land instead: a straight run along a property line, a field edge or the back of the lot, standing upright like any other fence.
Two faces, standing straight up
Built into the ground, not just sitting on it
The fence makes it, the battery holds it, the evening uses it
Pair the fence with a hybrid inverter and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. On Ontario's Ultra-Low Overnight plan, the battery can fill up overnight at the cheapest rate, carry the house or business through the expensive 4 to 9 pm weekday window, and keep the critical circuits running when the grid goes down. We program the system for the rate plan that actually saves you the most, and show you the options before you pick. See home battery backup and ULO vs Time-of-Use.
Panel for panel, a well-pitched south roof usually makes a bit more over a full year. The fence makes it up by using land you already have, shedding snow, and spreading production into the morning and late afternoon. We model your exact fence before you buy, so you know the number for your site.
Usually north-south, so the faces point east and west. But a fence along your property line can still work running another way. We model the bearing you have and tell you what it costs you, if anything.
No. The Home Renovation Savings rebate is for rooftop solar on the home or a permanent building on the same meter, so ground mounts and fences don't qualify. Businesses have other tools; see our business incentives page.
Yes. A grid-connected fence can be set up for net metering with your local hydro company, or for load displacement. We'll show you which pays better.
Call or text with where the fence would go and roughly what you pay for hydro. We'll give you a straight answer on what it makes, what it costs and how long it takes to pay for itself. No pressure, no sales script. 249-878-5651 · info@honeybeesolar.ca
