Solar done right

A solar install that pays back — and behaves like part of the home

Solar in BC isn't about heat — it's about offsetting your annual consumption with BC Hydro net-metering and, increasingly, riding through outages with battery storage. The install is what separates a system that pays back from one that doesn't.

We design grid-tied solar PV systems with quality panels and string or micro-inverters (Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla), integrate battery storage where it makes sense, and tie the whole thing into your service panel with the correct breakers, disconnects and labelling for BC Hydro.

Every install is led by a Certified BC Master Electrician with permits pulled under our contractor licence, BC Hydro interconnection paperwork handled, and the inspection coordinated for you.

FAQ

Residential solar, answered

Does solar make sense in cloudy Vancouver?+

It does — modern panels produce well in diffuse light, and BC Hydro net-metering credits your summer overproduction against winter consumption. We model expected output for your roof before you commit.

Do I need a battery?+

Not for grid-tied savings — net-metering uses the grid as your ‘battery.’ Batteries are about outage resilience and self-consumption. We'll be honest about whether one fits your goals.

Will my panel handle a solar tie-in?+

We confirm via a load calculation and review your main breaker rating. Some homes need a small panel adjustment or a protected loads sub-panel — we quote it up-front.

Who handles BC Hydro net-metering?+

We do. We complete the interconnection application, coordinate the inspection and confirm bi-directional metering before commissioning.
