Once you’ve built your ultra-efficient home, achieving net zero energy is achievable and affordable.
In urban and suburban Ontario, the only realistic option is solar – photovoltaics or thermal. Local Impact Design has performed dozens of structural reviews for rooftop solar projects
from typical homes to commercial buildings to churches. We have also designed purpose-built structures for solar, including carports and garages. In addition, unlike many small companies, we have the structural modelling capability to take on complex projects that may include steel joists or pre-engineered trusses. 
Guelph Solar is one of the fine companies we work with locally. We recommend attending one of their regular ‘solar seminars’ if you are considering roof-top solar.
