Yes, Vancouver Island can generate enough solar power to make it worthwhile, despite the frequent cloud cover. We receive about as much sunlight as Germany and Japan, which have huge solar energy operations.
Yes, modern solar panels are efficient enough to capture diffused sunlight on cloudy days.
On a completely overcast day, panels can still produce up to 25% of their potential output. Longer, sunnier days in the summer can generate credits that offset your winter energy costs.Installed system pricing will be specific to your home. Some factors include:
• size of your electric bill (and the amount you want to offset)
• location of your home
• tree cover
• shape and height of your roof
• roof accessibility
• applicable incentives and grantsAbsolutely. We are so confident in our equipment and systems, we provide a 3 year warranty on labour, 12 year warranty on inverters and 25 - 30 year warranty on solar panels (terms and conditions apply).
In certain situations, we can design a groundmounted (non-roof) installation. Please discuss this with us during your initial solar assessment.
We will handle all permitting issues and help with your rebate applications related to installing your solar system.
Once incentives and permitting are approved, the actual on-site installation only takes a couple of days with minimal inconvenience.
With a very few moving parts, a solar system is relatively maintenance free. An occasional cleaning of panels will ensure optimal performance.
You might be. You will need to own the roof and have your own electric meter. It’s best to check with your strata council or building jurisdiction to get this information.
Permitting and liability issues typically prevent tenant solar installations.
Net Metering is the regulatory ability to get credit for the electricity you generate with your solar system and send backwards through your utility meter. This allows you to generate excess power during the day to use at night, and any excess can be sold back to BC Hydro.
Net metering will only cover the electricity portion of your utility bill.
We only provide solar solutions installed by our trained professionals.
No. While the panels are made of tempered glass, they’re quite strong. They pass hail and snow load tests as well as other extreme weather conditions.
Most solar panels have a 25 year performance warranty.
Solar energy can be one of the best home improvement investments you make. Energy conservation and renewable generation is likely to add value to a home.
