Straight answers

Questions most homeowners ask before they book.

Yes. Solar panels produce power from daylight, not direct sun — so they still generate on cloudy days, just less. Victoria gets more annual sun than Germany, one of the largest solar markets on earth. We model your system using 20+ years of local weather data, so the numbers reflect real BC conditions, not California brochures.
The install itself is 1–2 days on your roof. Start to commissioning — the moment your system is producing power — is typically 45–60 days including permits, BC Hydro interconnection, and rebate paperwork. We handle all of it.
For most BC homeowners, 8–12 years. It depends on your Hydro bill, roof orientation, and whether you add battery. After payback, you're generating free power for another 13–17 years of the panel warranty. We show you the exact math on your consultation.
Every month you wait is a Hydro bill you could have avoided. BC Hydro rebate programs are funded annually and first-come, first-served — they've been reduced or paused with little notice before. Solar hardware prices have mostly stabilized, so waiting rarely pays off once you factor in lost savings and rising rates.
