Solar Power in Prince George
Solar installations are becoming more popular in Prince George and surrounding communities like Vanderhoof, Quesnel, and McBride, especially in areas that experience frequent grid failures and are looking for a more secure way to power their homes and businesses.
When you have a grid-connected solar system, you can store any excess energy you generate in BC Hydro’s grid to be used later, but if you’re experiencing frequent power failures, you might want a little more control. We can help you with a complete solar battery system that will let you independently store solar energy for later use entirely off-the-grid. And with long, extended daylight hours in the summer, you’ll have sunlight for days stored away to use when you need it most.
Sometimes people worry about their solar panels standing up to northern winters, but did you know solar panels work better in the cold? Lower temperatures help increase conductivity in solar panel materials. If you’re willing to occasionally clear snow off your solar panels, you won’t have any trouble generating a respectable amount of electricity even in the winter months.
Prince George averages 1,700 – 1,900 hours of sunshine per year. You have free electricity spilling all over your rooftop. Don’t let it go to waste.
Why Solar?
Solar power has an average 6 – 10% annual return and has been known to improve property values by 3 – 4%. Combined with the $5,000 – $10,000 rebates available from BC Hydro for solar panels and batteries and up to $40,000 interest-free from the Canada Greener Homes program, there’s never been an easier time to switch to solar.
