Every listing begins as a Google Maps record that carries a solar category, primary or secondary.
British Columbia businesses that are open, have at least one review and were updated in the last year stay. Duplicates are merged.
Businesses that do not install solar at all are left out. A site that confirms solar installation gets the listing marked and sorted higher.
No clear answer on a site means "not enough info" on the listing, never a guess. Licences are not verified.
Every listing starts from a Google Maps record filed under a solar category. Many electricians, roofers and heating companies carry one as a second category, so they are included too. We keep British Columbia businesses that are open, have at least one review and were updated in the last twelve months, and we merge duplicates.
Then we read each business's own website. Where the site shows the business does not install solar, such as a metal roofer, a window film company or a drone inspector, the listing is left out. Where the site confirms solar installation, the listing says so and sorts higher on its city page. Where the site does not say either way, the listing stays and says "not enough info" instead of guessing.
We do not verify licences, certifications or insurance. When a listing says a business states an electrical licence, that is the business's own claim. Ask for the licence number and check it with Technical Safety BC or your city before you sign.
Owners can claim a listing to correct details or add photos. A person checks every claim. Published by Michael.
A solar system in British Columbia is three jobs at once: an electrical install, a roof or ground mount, and a grid connection with paperwork. The 76 companies on this directory come at it from all three sides. 57 confirm solar installation, and many of the rest are electricians and roofers who list a solar category. Here is what to sort out before you sign.
Solar equipment needs an electrical installation permit, and a licensed contractor applies for it on your behalf. Technical Safety BC issues the permit in most of the province. In Burnaby, Surrey, Victoria, Vancouver, Maple Ridge, North Vancouver and West Vancouver the city issues it instead. If you own a strata unit or a duplex, you cannot take out a homeowner permit, so the contractor route is the only one.
44 listings state an electrical licence. That is the business's own claim, not something this directory checks. Ask for the licence number and the name of the Field Safety Representative on the job.
BC Hydro customers connect through its self-generation service, which since July 1, 2026 credits excess power at 10 cents per kWh and caps systems at 100 kW. FortisBC, which supplies electricity in much of the Southern Interior, runs its own net metering program with a 50 kW limit and an annual settlement. Both want an application approved before the system is connected. A good quote names your utility and says who files the paperwork.
As of October 2026, BC Hydro offers up to $5,000 toward solar on a home and up to $5,000 toward a battery enrolled in Peak Saver. FortisBC customers are not eligible. BC Hydro asks for a member of its Home Performance Contractor Network to design and install the system and suggests getting three quotes. 31 listings say they help with rebates. The federal Greener Homes loan and grant are closed, even where older pages still mention them.
Adding storage later can mean a second permit and a second visit. 35 listings install battery storage and 23 build off-grid systems for cabins, remote homes, boats and RVs. If backup power matters to you, ask about it on the first call rather than after the panels are on the roof.
A 5.0 from two reviews tells you little. A 4.8 from two hundred tells you a lot. Each city page sorts confirmed solar installers first, then by rating weighted by review count, so the long track records rise to the top.
Do your own electricians do the install, or do you subcontract it? Who applies for the permit and the grid connection? Are you a Home Performance Contractor Network member? What does the warranty cover, on the panels, the inverter and your own workmanship, and in writing? 27 listings mention a warranty and 18 offer financing, so it is fair to ask for both.
Every listing comes from a Google Maps record that carries a solar category. We keep British Columbia businesses that are open and have reviews, read each business's own website, and leave out the ones that do not install solar. Owners can claim a listing to correct details or add photos.
No. A basic listing is free and stays free. Businesses can pay for a featured position or a premium listing, and those are marked as such wherever they appear.
In British Columbia a solar system is electrical work, and many installs are done by electrical contractors and roofers who also carry a solar category on Google. Their listing shows whether their own site confirms solar installation. Those that confirm it sort first on every city page.
Yes. Solar equipment needs an electrical installation permit. A licensed contractor applies for it on your behalf. Technical Safety BC issues permits in most of the province, while Burnaby, Surrey, Victoria, Vancouver, Maple Ridge, North Vancouver and West Vancouver issue their own.
BC Hydro customers can join its self-generation service, which since July 1, 2026 credits excess power at 10 cents per kWh on the bill, for systems up to 100 kW. FortisBC runs its own net metering program for systems up to 50 kW. Either way, you apply and get approval before the system is connected.
As of October 2026, BC Hydro offers a solar rebate of up to $5,000 for a home and a battery rebate of up to $5,000 when the battery is enrolled in Peak Saver. FortisBC customers are not eligible for these. BC Hydro asks that the system be designed and installed by a member of its Home Performance Contractor Network.
Each listing shows the services its own website confirms. The service pages collect them across the province: solar battery storage, off-grid solar, EV chargers, and solar panel repair and maintenance.
