Most solar companies are sales companies that subcontract the wiring. We are the other way round — a licensed BC electrical contractor that designs your system, wires it and signs it off with one crew. Homes, businesses, multi-family and off-grid, across Prince George and Northern BC.
Most solar companies are sales companies that subcontract the electrical work. We are the other way round. Nechako Solar is a licensed and bonded electrical contractor (BC Electrical Contractor Licence LEL0204111) with over ten years in the trade — the same crew that designs your system wires it and signs off on it.
We install grid-tied, off-grid, battery and micro-grid solar for homes, businesses, farms and First Nations communities, and we are a Home Performance Contractor Network member, which is what makes your BC Hydro rebate payable.
Proudly serving Prince George, Vanderhoof and Northern BC.

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.
