Solar energy is an excellent alternative energy source that can significantly reduce your electricity bills and your carbon footprint. Here are some key benefits of installing solar panels:
A common misconception is that British Columbia does not receive enough sunlight for solar PV systems to be effective. However, Victoria has 30% higher solar potential compared to Germany, the leading country for installed solar capacity. Direct, uninterrupted sunlight is not necessary for a PV system to work well.
Solar energy is created when sunlight hits the solar panels. The panels convert the sun’s energy into direct current (DC) electricity, which then goes through an inverter. The inverter converts the DC into alternating current (AC) electricity, which can then be used to power your home.
According to BC Hydro, households average about 900 kWh a month. However, this number can be misleading as it does not reflect the increase in power usage over the winter months. During winter, electric bills can be five to six times higher than in the summer months.
Noble Roofing LTD is the only company in Victoria that is an approved installer of GAF roofing products and shingles. This means the Manufacturer provides a full 50 year warranty to every shingle installed by Noble Roofing LTD for our clients.
On June 27, the Government of B.C. announced new rebates for customers looking to install solar panels and battery energy storage systems. To be eligible, equipment must be installed after the official launch of the program and meet all eligibility requirements. Full details will be available later this summer.
If you’re interested in installing a grid-tied solar PV system, it’s essential to obtain approval from BC Hydro before installation. This approval process ensures that your system meets all safety standards and operates effectively within the local power grid. Proper approval also allows you to take full advantage of net metering benefits.
Investing in solar panels is a wise long-term commitment, as they typically have a lifespan of about 25 years with an efficiency degradation rate of around 0.5% per year. Over time, solar panels can yield substantial savings on electricity bills and provide significant environmental benefits by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Most solar systems use high-quality monocrystalline panels with an output of 340W and an area of 1.8m². These panels have a degradation rate of 0.5% per year and experience system losses of approximately 13%. The estimated lifetime of these panels is 40 years, while the inverters, which convert DC to AC electricity, have an estimated lifetime of 25 years.
In British Columbia, battery backup for solar systems is optional, but it’s worth considering the financing options available through net metering. Solar hot water systems have become less common due to the rapid decrease in the price of photovoltaic (PV) panels, which can generate hot water more economically on an annual basis than traditional solar hot water systems.
Before starting a solar project, it’s recommended to consult with a qualified professional installer. An electrical permit is required when installing your PV system in Victoria, and your installer can assist you with this as part of the connection process.

They did daily clean up with a great amount of care for our dog. Our shingles were so old they were crumbling. So they utilized other tools such as leaf blowers to make sure everything was cleaned. Even while being in the house all week while they were working ALL the noise was manageable. They worked hard till sun down every day despite the cold. We are beyond grateful to Josh, Matt and there crew for going the extra mile to replace our double layer shingled 30+ year old roof.
