FAQs

  • How does solar PV actually work?

    Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into electricity using solar panels. That electricity can be used directly on-site, stored in batteries, or sent to the grid.

  • How much land is needed for a solar project?

    It depends on the size and scale. A typical 5 –10 MW ground-mounted system might require 30–50 acres. We work closely with landowners and local planners to ensure the best site fit — and we avoid prime agricultural land and ecologically sensitive areas.

  • How long do solar panels and batteries last?

    Most solar panels last for 25–30 years and possibly longer. Batteries typically last 20 years, depending on usage. Both systems require minimal maintenance.

  • Is there government support or incentives?

    Yes — in Ontario, there is a provincial program being designed called the Local Generation Program (LGP) that aims to support clean energy adoption through annual tenders for distributed energy resources (DERs)

  • What happens at the end of the project’s life?

    At the end of the system’s life or lease term, the equipment is removed and the land is returned to its original condition. We include decommissioning plans to ensure this is done responsibly.

  • Who owns and operates the project once it’s built?

    Onder Renewables will develop, finance, and manage the project through its lifecycle.

  • How do I get started if I’m a landowner?

    Just reach out. We’ll review your site, discuss your goals, and walk you through the process — including feasibility, timelines, and potential income if you're leasing land.
