We were thrilled to work with another homeowner passionate about reducing their environmental impact and maximizing their energy independence through solar. From the very beginning, the goal for this project was clear: offset as much electricity usage as possible in an all-electric home while taking advantage of available solar incentives and financing programs.
This project features a substantial 18.2kW grid-connected solar system consisting of 40 LONGi 455W solar panels. The installation was completed on an asphalt shingle roof and designed to make the best use of the available roof space while working around layout and access constraints.
Because the property operates entirely on electricity — including an electric boiler and basement suite — energy consumption was significantly higher than the average home. Our team worked closely with the homeowners to design a system capable of producing approximately 20,000–21,000 kWh annually, helping offset a large portion of the property's yearly hydro usage and generating an estimated savings of up to $3,000 per year.
To support the new solar array, we installed a dedicated solar generation panel in the garage and tied the system into the property's existing 400A service splitter. Careful planning allowed the electrical work to be completed cleanly and efficiently using surface-mounted equipment within the garage space.
Projects like this are a great example of how larger residential solar systems can make a meaningful impact on long-term energy costs while helping homeowners move toward a more sustainable future. We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to help bring this project to life and proud to see another BC home generating clean renewable energy.
