Very little. Panels have no moving parts, so upkeep is a yearly look-over. Snow mostly slides off on its own and costs only about 3% of a year’s power, so don’t climb up. String and hybrid inverters usually carry a 10-year warranty (microinverters up to 25); they’re the part most likely to need replacing.

Often, yes — though we would rather be straight with you than quote a number that does not apply here. Studies in larger markets have found solar adds to resale value, but there is little hard data for Northern BC specifically, and a buyer values a system differently depending on whether it is owned outright. What you can bank on: every kilowatt-hour you use as your roof makes it is one you are not buying at today’s electricity rates, and the surplus earns a credit.

The panels we install pass the standard industry tests for snow, wind and hail. We design and mount the racking for your site’s snow and wind loads. Panels carry a manufacturer’s defect warranty. Tell your home insurer when the array goes on.
