Prince George is home. Our crew and trucks are based here, so the site visit, the install and any warranty call are a short drive, not an out-of-town trip.
Prince George Airport records about 1,918 hours of bright sunshine a year. Winter days are short, but most of a year’s production lands between March and September, and cold panels run more efficiently. Snow costs a typical array only about 3% of its yearly output. More on solar through a Prince George winter.
For homes in town and new builds. We size it from a recent hydro bill (or the plans, for a new build), not a regional average.
Keeps the essentials on your backup panel running when the power goes out: furnace fan, well pump, fridge, freezer, lights and Wi-Fi. Home battery backup
Switch on by themselves in 10 to 40 seconds and can run the whole house if sized for it. Backup power options
For acreages, shops and farms where the roof faces the wrong way or there’s room in the yard. Farms, acreages and shops
Outside city limits the lines run farther, outages can last longer, and a house on a well has no water while the power is off. That’s where backup earns its keep. We work across the rural areas around the city, including Pineview, Beaverley, Buckhorn, Miworth, Tabor Lake, Red Rock, Chief Lake and Nukko Lake, and out along the highways to Hixon, Strathnaver, Summit Lake, Bear Lake, Isle Pierre, Bednesti, Norman Lake, Cluculz Lake, Willow River, Upper Fraser and Purden Lake.
Snow loads are higher out here. Inside city limits, Prince George’s ground snow load is 3.4 kPa. Outside city limits, the regional district sets 4.3 kPa (plus 0.2 for rain) across the region, so we design rural racking to that figure. Snow, drift zones and ground mounts.
Solar + battery may qualify for up to $6,500 in provincial rebates (up to $10,000 with an eligible peak-saving battery). Pre-approval comes before you buy, every rebate is capped at 50% of cost, and rebates are paid only while funding lasts. The installer must be a Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN) member, and we’re one. How rebates work.
We publish our installed price ranges, before rebates: see the price table. Batteries and standby generators are priced after a look at your panel and what has to keep running.
Send a recent hydro bill and we’ll come back with the system size, what it should make in a typical Prince George year, and the rebates you’re likely to qualify for. For backup power, tell us what has to keep running in an outage. We’ll reply within one business day.
