What We Do
Yemen Electric's role in a solar installation is the electrical work — wiring from the panels to the inverter, connecting to your electrical panel, and ensuring the system meets Ontario Electrical Code. We work alongside solar panel suppliers and installers to complete the electrical portion of your project.
If you already have a solar supplier, we can provide the electrical contracting. If you are starting from scratch, we can refer you to trusted suppliers in the Ottawa Valley.
This division of labour is common in the solar industry — the panel supplier handles the racking and panels themselves, while a licensed electrical contractor like Yemen Electric handles the wiring, the inverter connection, and the ESA permit that makes the system legal to operate. We've done this enough times to know where the handoff points are and how to keep a project moving without delays between trades.
Whether it's a residential rooftop array or a larger commercial system, the same standard applies: code-compliant wiring, a properly sized and connected inverter, and a permit on file with the Electrical Safety Authority before the system is energized.
Battery storage is an increasingly common add-on for both residential and commercial solar systems, letting you store excess generation for use after dark or during an outage. We wire battery systems alongside a new solar installation or as an addition to an existing one, and can connect net metering setups so any surplus power your system generates is credited back through your utility account.
