Alto Solar Inc.. - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

We decided to get our rooftop solar power installation done by Alto Solar, after a strong recommendation from a colleague – and also after talking to several other local companies. The year of our solar panel installation, 2022, was a challenging one for solar panel installation because of component availability issues. Throughout the process, however, Tom Allen was always good to deal with. He is very knowledgeable, honest and transparent. He never tried to push us in any particular direction, just offered us component options and a good appraisal of the pros and cons. He responded to email and phone queries promptly. His installation team was polite and competent, and work occurred on time. The cost was competitive with other companies.

Our system [11.57 kW] system was officially tied into the grid in October 2022. I am still looking forward to our first summer of operation, but we seem on track to meet the expected production of about 12.5 MWh per year. Apart from the satisfaction of producing green energy, rooftop solar is a good long-term investment, and I highly recommend Alto Solar for the installation.

Tomi did a excellent job setting up our RV with our entire solar rig, explaining in easy detail how the whole set up worked and quickly responded to follow up questions I thought of later down the road. He even assisted without hesitation the next camping season by troubleshooting one of my settings which had changed over the winter causing my batteries to reduce max capacity each time we charged them. I would easily recommend Tomi to anyone wishing to install solar on their RV or residence. Great guy and very personable to chat with.

Alto Solar was excellent. Very professional, showed up on time, kept site clean, used A1 gear. A highly reliable solar contractor. Install was a little complicated too - 17 kw and it had both a string inverter and micro inverters. Our power bill has gone from over $3800 annually to less than $50/month.

(I should give them a 4.5 star - only because nobody probably believes somebody can be that good with only 5 stars! But it's true...a pleasure to hire).

If you're considering installing solar, look no further than Alto Solar! When we began the process, we were overwhelmed by the confusing information online regarding the installation procedure and the complexities of grants and loans. Upon reaching out to Tomi at Alto Solar, he patiently guided us through the entire process, clarifying every question we had. Tomi's service from the beginning to the end surpassed our expectations. We are thrilled with the outcome of the project. Tomi maintained excellent communication regarding timelines and necessary steps, promptly responding to texts. What we initially thought would be a stressful project turned into a smooth and hassle-free experience. We cannot express enough praise for Tomi and Alto, assuring you that choosing him for your solar needs will not disappoint. Thanks, Tomi!

Tomi of Alto Solar used his marine experience to design, supply, install and commission a new electrical system for my yacht.
The system included 3 power sources (shore power and 2 generators), 19kWhs of lithium batteries and inverters to supply 20 kWs of 120/240 power to run the entire yacht.
The system included conservative design, quality materials and good documentation.
It was a BIG job! Tomi did a great job.

We decided on Alto Solar for our solar installation after obtaining quotes from many companies and never regretted our choice. Tomi was excellent to deal with through the entire process, which start to finish was about a year. They never tried to sell me a bunch of stuff I didn't need, (like alot of the other companies did) I never waited for answers to texts, emails or even calls. He always got back to me in a timely manner with the info we requested. Their pricing was very competitive, their work was very clean and the paperwork was easy. I highly recommend you give them a call if solar is something you're considering! Thanks Tomi!

Fantastic experience buying a solar system from Alto Solar. Always personal service. Tomi was always quick in answering all my emails before and after my purchase. I would definitely do business with Alto Solar Inc. again in the future!

Tomi is utmost professional and designed a system custom for my needs. He was patient, asked great questions and gave me best bang for my buck. I was looking at systems in the United States until I found my fellow Canadian. His expertise saved me much time and I’m very happy with final product. I highly recommend Tomi to anyone
