What it costs

Honest pricing guidance

Solar is priced by system size (kW) and whether you add battery storage. As rough guidance: a typical residential grid-tied system commonly runs $15,000–$35,000 before any rebates, and adding battery backup raises that further. On the island, where storms knock out power, battery backup is a big part of the appeal — worth sizing into the plan from the start.

These are ballpark figures to help you plan — not a guaranteed quote. You'll get a firm number, free, before any work begins.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

Does solar make sense on Salt Spring's cloudy coast? +

Yes — modern panels produce well in diffuse coastal light, and long summer days offset shorter, greyer winters. A proper site assessment estimates your realistic annual production before you commit.

Will solar keep my power on during an outage? +

Only if you add battery backup. A standard grid-tied system shuts off during an outage for safety; pairing it with a battery is what keeps essentials running when island power goes down.

Can I sell power back to the grid? +

Yes — BC Hydro's net-metering program credits you for surplus power your system sends back, and grid-tie and net-metering setup is part of the install.

Does solar installation need permits and a licensed electrician? +

Yes — solar work requires electrical permits, and the grid connection must be done by a licensed electrician. The electrical side of every install is handled to that standard.

Are there rebates or financing for solar? +

Solar and battery rebates and financing come and go through provincial and federal programs. It's worth checking what's current, since incentives can meaningfully change the payback.

Do you offer free quotes? +

Yes — free, no-obligation quotes.
