Sunfold does one thing: rooftop solar for the house you live in. No franchise badge, no commission-only door-knockers, no subcontracted van you've never met. A small crew maps your roof to the rafter, sizes the system to your real bills, and torques down every panel by hand.
Built on hardware we'd put on our own homes
The industry runs on lead-gen and monthly quotas. We run on a waitlist and a workshop. Here's what that buys you.
The person who designs your array pulls the permit and shows up on install day. No handoffs, no '50% deposit then silence,' no mystery van idling in your driveway.
We model your roof from satellite, drone, and a shading study before we ever quote. You'll know your year-one production within 4% — in writing — not a salesperson's round number.
South-facing and unshaded? Great mainstream panels save you money. Tight, complex, or half in the shade of a maple? We spec premium modules with per-panel optimizers so one dormer can't tank the whole string.
If your roof needs reshingling in three years, or your bills are too low to ever pay solar back, we say so and walk. We'd rather lose the job than sell you the wrong decade to buy.
Every Sunfold install is built from the same parts list we'd put on our own houses. No house-brand mystery hardware, no rebadged imports — components you can look up, warranty, and service for decades.
440-watt back-contact cells with a 40-year warranty and the lowest degradation in the industry. More watts per square foot, so even a small roof can still erase the whole bill.
One microinverter per panel, so a single shaded module never drags down the rest. They also keep daytime power flowing during a grid outage — no battery required.
Black-anodized rails sit four inches off the roofline for a low, tidy profile. Every penetration is flashed and sealed to new-roof standard and backed by a 25-year roof-leak warranty.
An optional 13.5 kWh battery banks your midday surplus and runs the essentials — fridge, Wi-Fi, furnace fan, a few lights — straight through a multi-day outage.
Watch each panel produce in real time and see exactly what you've offset this month. If one module underperforms, we catch it — usually before you'd ever notice.
Stainless mesh seals the array edge against squirrels and nesting birds, and every wire runs in tucked, painted conduit. The stuff nobody photographs is the stuff that fails first.
What a Sunfold roof does over its life
Going solar shouldn't feel like buying a car. Here's the whole path — including the parts other installers leave off the brochure.
Send a recent power bill and your address. We model the roof, run a shading study, and send back a real layout — panel placement, year-one production, itemized price — usually within 48 hours. No site visit needed yet.
We handle the city permit, the utility interconnection, the structural letter, and every incentive form. You sign twice. We chase the rest.
Our crew sets the racking, wiring, and inverters in one to two days — and cleans up like we were never there.
The city inspector signs off, the utility swaps your meter, we flip the system live, then walk your whole household through the app.
We monitor every panel remotely for the life of the system. If production dips, we call you — and the truck roll to fix it is already paid for.
“Three other companies quoted me a 'system size' and a monthly payment. Sunfold sent a roof drawing with every panel placed and told me exactly what I'd make in July versus December. That's why I signed.”
“Half my roof sits under a big maple every afternoon. They put optimizers on those panels and skipped the worst corner entirely. My neighbour's cheaper install loses a third of its power by 3pm — mine barely blinks.”
“What sold me was the no. They looked at my low summer bills and said solar wouldn't pay off for fifteen years, so don't. I called them back when I added a heat pump — they were right both times.”
Same hardware, same crew, same warranty in every option. The only difference is how you'd rather pay for power you're already buying.
Pay once, then pay the utility almost nothing.
Our most-chosen plan — a payment that beats your bill.
Nothing to own, nothing upfront — just a smaller bill.
We tell you before you spend a dollar. Send a power bill and your address; we model the roof, factor in shading and orientation, and send back honest year-one production and payback numbers. If the math doesn't work, we say so — about one in six roofs we look at, we recommend against.
By default, grid-tied solar shuts off in an outage to protect utility crews. With Enphase IQ8 microinverters you keep daytime power flowing to essentials even without a battery, and adding a Powerwall keeps the fridge, furnace fan, Wi-Fi, and lights running day and night through a multi-day outage.
Every mounting point is flashed and sealed to new-roof standard, backed by a 25-year roof-leak warranty on top of the equipment warranties. If your roof is near the end of its life, we'll tell you to reshingle first — far cheaper than pulling an array off later.
The physical install is one to two days. The longer part is permitting and the utility interconnection, which we handle for you — most homeowners go from signed design to switched-on in six to ten weeks, depending on how fast the city and utility move.
We file them for you. Depending on your province and utility there can be federal credits, interest-free loans, and net-metering that pays you for surplus power. Our quote shows the price before and after every incentive you actually qualify for — never a best-case headline number.
We monitor every panel remotely for the full 25 years and call you if production dips — usually before you'd notice. Warranty service truck rolls are already covered, and because we never subcontract, the crew that built your system is the crew that maintains it.
No site visit, no pushy call. A real layout, honest year-one production, and an itemized price — usually within 48 hours. If solar doesn't pay off on your roof, we'll be the first to tell you.
