Solar Energy

Solar energy is becoming more common and is one of the the cheapest and widely used renewable energy sources in the world. By using special panels to capture sun energy, solar converts it to electricity that you can use to power practically anything. As the cost of investing in solar energy systems for your home or business continues to drop, many are making the switch from fossil fuel energy to renewable solar energy. 

Solar Photovoltaic Systems

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems are used to convert sunlight into electricity. The main components are Solar panels, inverters, breakers, and mounting equipment. Solar panels  mounted in strategic locations outside (commonly on roofs) generate power by converting sunlight to DC (direct current) electricity. The inverters convert the DC (direct current) electricity to AC (alternating current) electricity to be used for your home or business buildings.

On-Grid Solar Systems

On-Grid Solar (PV) systems feed AC electricity directly to buildings when required. The system also feeds excess electricity to your local grid (BC Hydro or Fortis BC). Net-metering programs are in place which allow excess electricity generated by an On-Grid PV system to flow back into the Grid. This offsets electricity you take from the grid in the past or future.

Off-Grid Solar Systems

Off-Grid Solar (PV) systems feed AC (alternating current) electricity directly to buildings on-demand. The system feeds DC (direct current) electricity into batteries, saving extra energy for later. Off-Grid Solar systems operate without a connection to a local grid, providing all your electricity and eliminating your electric bill entirely.
