We are a licensed BC electrical contractor. The same crew designs your system, wires it and signs off the final inspection — the electrical work never leaves our hands. Homes, businesses, multi-family and off-grid, across Prince George and Northern BC.
or call (250) 532-2873 — you will get a licensed electrician on the phone.
Nechako Solar is a licensed and bonded BC electrical contractor — Electrical Contractor Licence LEL0204111 — with over ten years in the trade. We install grid-tied, off-grid, battery and micro-grid solar for homes, businesses, farms and First Nations communities.
We are also a Home Performance Contractor Network member. That is the condition BC Hydro attaches to its solar and battery rebates: if your installer is not one, the rebate does not get paid, and it cannot be fixed afterwards.
Serving Prince George, Quesnel, Vanderhoof, Fort St. James, Fraser Lake, Burns Lake, Mackenzie and Smithers.

We live here. The crew that installs your system drives the same highways in February, and a warranty callback in year four gets the same truck the install did.
Send us a photo of a recent BC Hydro bill and we will come back with a free, no-obligation estimate: the right system size for your roof, what it should produce in a Northern BC year, the rebates you qualify for, and the real payback number. No sales pressure, and we will call you back within one business day.
Very little. Solar panels have no moving parts, so servicing is inspection rather than scheduled maintenance. In our climate we suggest clearing heavy snow off low-slope arrays and giving the system a look over each spring — we will show you how, or we can do it for you. Inverters typically carry a 10-year warranty and are the one component you should expect to replace within the life of the system.
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 is certain is the part you can bank on: every kilowatt-hour your roof makes is one you are not buying at BC Hydro's rate, and those rates keep rising.
The panels we install are certified to withstand heavy snow loads, high winds and hail impact testing, and everything is engineered and mounted for Northern BC conditions — which is a big part of why we do the electrical and the structural attachment ourselves rather than subcontracting it. Panels also carry a manufacturer warranty against defects, and your home insurance normally covers a roof-mounted array as part of the building. Extreme weather is not something you should have to think about.
