Solar for Your Home

Why Go Solar — Tailored For Coastal BC Living

Reduce or eliminate your electricity bills. Solar PV systems allow you to generate clean power directly on your roof — cutting down what you draw from the grid, and reducing monthly BC Hydro bills.
Take advantage of strong local incentives. Homes in BC can benefit from attractive rebates and incentives for installing grid-tied solar (and optionally, battery storage) — reducing upfront costs and making solar more accessible.
Increase home value and market appeal. Solar-equipped homes are increasingly being viewed as premium — energy independence, sustainability, and future-proofing are attractive to buyers and can give your home a competitive edge.
Energy independence & resilience. Whether it’s cloudy Vancouver Island winters or summer peaks, a properly designed system — grid-tied or with optional storage — ensures you capture as much solar potential as possible, and remain resilient to changing energy prices or supply issues.
Clean, sustainable living. Solar generates renewable electricity with no local emissions — a direct way to shrink your household’s carbon footprint and support a greener future for BC

What You Can Typically Expect

(for Vancouver Island Homes)

Typical System	Approx. Output (annually)	What It Covers
Small 5–8 kW rooftop grid-tie system (with optional battery backup and EV charging)	~6,500–9,000 kWh/year	A significant portion (or majority) of electricity is needed for an average to mid-size Vancouver Island home. Often reduces or eliminates the higher-cost Tier 2 BC Hydro pricing.
Medium 9–12.5 kW grid-tie system (with optional battery backup and EV charging)	~9,000–15,000 kWh/year	Supports higher household electrical loads, EV charging, and increased electrification. Strong reduction in Tier 2 electricity rates, improved energy flexibility, and future-ready infrastructure.
Large 12.5–20+ kW residential solar systems (with optional battery backup and EV charging)	~14,000–25,000+ kWh/year	Designed for large homes with substantial electrical demands such as heat pumps, heated garages, workshops, outbuildings, and multiple EVs. Capable of near-complete or full annual BC Hydro offset, even for high-consumption properties.

Incentives & savings potential: Local rebates, PST exemptions, and net-metering programs further improve affordability and long-term value.

Optional battery storage provides backup power during outages and increases energy independence, while EV charging integration prepares your home for fully electric transportation.
