Off-Grid Solar Systems Service
Achieve Complete Energy Independence with Off-Grid Solar
Off-grid solar systems produce complete energy independence by generating and storing all the electricity you would need without relying on the utility grid. With battery storage, they offer reliable power in remote areas or during power outages, giving full control over your energy supply.
Benefits of Off-Grid Solar Systems

Your own solar system lets you generate electricity and store all with your own power (with a battery), freeing you from utility costs and outages while ensuring reliable, sustainable energy on your own terms.
Cost Savings in the long run
Off-grid systems deliver long-term cost savings by eliminating monthly utility bills and protecting you from rising energy costs.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Reducing your carbon footprint, providing long-term environmental benefits through clean, renewable power.

Rebates For Remote Microgrid Communities
In British Columbia, remote microgrid communities can access significant rebates from BC Hydro to transition from diesel to clean energy. Residential customers are eligible for up to $20,000 for solar and another $20,000 for battery storage, while commercial and community buildings can receive up to $50,000 for each. These offers can be combined with federal grants to help fund a transition to more sustainable and resilient power.
BC PST Tax Exemption
BC’s PST exemption on solar equipment eliminates a significant upfront cost. This valuable tax break, combined with other rebates, makes going solar more affordable than ever.
Electric EV Charger Rebate
Investing in EV chargers is made easier with BC’s generous rebate programs. These incentives provide substantial financial support for planning and installing charging infrastructure, making your building more attractive to current and future residents with electric vehicles.

Curious About Solar?
Find Your Answers Here
Will solar really save me money?
Yes, solar panels can significantly lower your electricity bills and may pay for themselves over time through energy savings.
How long do solar panels last?
Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25-30 years or more. While 30-year-old panels may not produce at 100% efficiency, they will still produce power.
Do solar panels work on cloudy days or in winter?
Yes, the production may be slightly lower than on beautiful, clear, sunny days, but solar panels are still able to generate power in cloudy weather and during the winter.
What happens if there is a power outage?
Without a battery backup system, most solar systems shut off during outages for safety. With battery storage, you can maintain power.
Do I have to clean my solar panels?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. For aesthetics, you can sweep them of debris, but it’s not necessary.
Do I need a new roof before I get solar panels?
No. At the time of a site quote, we can discuss your specific roof and what would be the best for your home.
Are there tax credits or rebates available?
Yes, the BC government offers some incentives.

How Solar Energy and Net Metering Work
Switching to Solar Energy is Simpler Than You Might Think. Here’s How It All Comes Together:
1
Harnessing the Power of the Sun
Solar panels installed on your property capture sunlight and convert it into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) technology. This clean energy powers your home or business, reducing your reliance on traditional energy sources.
2
Powering Your Property
During the day, your solar panels produce electricity to meet your energy needs. Any excess electricity generated is sent back to the grid, creating a seamless flow of power.
3
Understanding Net Metering
Net metering allows you to send surplus energy back to the utility grid. In return, you earn credits on your electricity bill. At night or during times of low solar production, you can use these credits to draw energy from the grid, ensuring you have power when you need it.
4
Savings That Add Up
By offsetting your energy usage with solar production, your utility bills decrease significantly over time. Plus, with incentives and tax benefits available, the savings only grow.
5
Your Contribution to a Greener Future
Every kilowatt of solar energy you produce reduces your carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly world.

Definitely recommend them!
Bruce and his crew did an absolutely fabulous job installing our solar panels. I really liked working with a small, local company. Bruce did a great job of communicating and answering all my questions. He and his crew certainly went above and beyond in their customer service as they helped me with a couple of other electrical problems. Definitely recommend them!
