Solar Quote Comparison — Canada

Enter up to three quotes. Normalized C$/W, production sanity-checks against provincial sun, and a red-flag count.

Production sanity-check uses provincial peak-sun-hours × 86% system factor. Any quote promising far above that is inflating its numbers. There is no federal credit in Canada — if a salesperson quotes one, walk.
