FAQ: Does Solar make sense on Vancouver Island?

Over the past several years, the cost of solar panels has fallen while their performance has improved. This means in places like Vancouver Island it now makes sense to install solar panels. Natural Resources Canada estimates that on southern Vancouver Island, solar can generate about 1,100 kilowatt hours of electricity for every 1,000 kilowatt installed, and some of our clients are doing better.
