Toronto & the GTA
Solar on the roof.
Intelligence in the walls.
CIRO GROUP LTD designs, supplies and installs solar panel systems, home batteries and smart-home automation — one crew from the first roof measurement to the last commissioned scene.
Peak sun.
Illustrative 9.5 kW roof with a 13.5 kWh battery. Your numbers come from the site visit.
Two halves of one system
We do the energy and the intelligence — so they actually talk to each other.
Solar & battery
Roof survey, system design, permits, install, ESA inspection and grid connection. Panels, inverter, battery, EV charger — sized to your real consumption, not a brochure.
- Tier-1 panels with 25-year performance warranties
- Battery backup that keeps the house alive in an outage
- We prepare the rebate and net-metering paperwork
Smart home
Lighting, climate, blinds, locks, cameras, audio and network — installed as one system on a wired backbone, with scenes that make sense on a Tuesday morning.
- Works with Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa
- Local control — it keeps working when the internet doesn't
- Handover session so the whole household can actually use it
Scope
What we install
We stock the smart-home side of it too — buy a single sensor or a whole floor of lighting, with or without a crew to install it.
Solar arrays
Roof and ground-mount arrays, string or micro-inverters, rapid shutdown, monitoring you can read from your phone.
Home batteries
Backup storage sized to carry the essentials — or the whole panel — through an outage and through peak pricing.
EV chargers
Level 2 charging wired to the panel or fed from the array, scheduled to draw on your own surplus first.
Lighting & scenes
Dimmable circuits, keypads that replace the switch clutter, tunable white, and outdoor lighting on astronomical timers.
Climate & blinds
Smart thermostats, zoning, heat-pump integration and motorised shades that pre-empt the afternoon sun.
Security & network
Cameras, smart locks, video doorbells, sensors — on a proper wired network with Wi-Fi that reaches the garage.
How it goes
Four steps, no surprises
Site visit
We measure the roof, read a year of your bills, check the panel and the attic runs. Free, and about an hour.
Design & fixed quote
A layout, a production estimate and one price — equipment, labour, permits and inspection included.
Install
Our own crew, drop sheets down, most homes finished in one to three days. Permits and ESA booking handled by us.
Commission & handover
Grid connection, app set up, scenes named the way your family talks, and a walkthrough before we leave.
Why CIRO
One company holds the whole system — and the warranty.
Most homeowners end up juggling a solar reseller, a subcontracted roofer, an electrician and an automation guy who all blame each other. We keep design, installation and support in-house, so there is exactly one number to call.
Questions
Straight answers
Anything not covered here, ask us on the site visit — we would rather over-explain than over-sell.
Does solar actually work in Ontario winters?
Yes. Panels produce from light, not heat, and cold weather slightly improves their efficiency. Output is lower in December and higher from March through September; a system is sized against your annual consumption, not a single month.
What does a system cost?
It depends on roof area, orientation, your consumption and whether you add a battery or EV charger. We quote one fixed price after the site visit — equipment, labour, permits and inspection included — and we will tell you honestly if your roof is a poor candidate.
Do I need a battery?
Not necessarily. Without one you export surplus to the grid; with one you store it for the evening and keep power during outages. We will show you both numbers and let you decide.
Can you automate a house that is already finished?
Yes — most of our smart-home work is in existing homes. Wireless and retrofit-friendly gear covers the majority of it, and we fish wire only where it genuinely pays off.
Who handles permits, inspection and rebates?
We do. Building permit where required, ESA inspection, utility connection paperwork, and we prepare the rebate and financing applications you qualify for.
