Solar Power

At Sprint, we specialize in designing and installing custom solar power systems tailored to your specific needs. Our offerings include grid-tied, off-grid, and hybrid solar systems, each with unique benefits to help you achieve energy independence and prepare for emergencies, such as earthquakes. We also offer commercial solar systems for businesses, helping companies reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs.

Grid-Tied Solar Systems

Our grid-tied solar systems are perfect for homeowners who want to leverage BC Hydro's net-metering program: https://app.bchydro.com/accounts-billing/electrical-connections/net-metering.html. This program allows your home to use the solar power you generate on-site. Any excess power is sent back to the grid, and you are credited for the excess energy in kWh. These credits can be used when your solar power generation is insufficient, either at night, on cloudy days or due to high electricity demand. Grid-tied systems are an excellent way to reduce your electricity bills and contribute to sustainable energy use.

Off-Grid Solar Systems

For those with off-grid cabins or remote properties, our off-grid solar systems provide reliable energy independence. These systems require a backup battery (or multiple batteries) to store the energy generated by your solar panels. Additionally, we recommend integrating a generator for added resiliency. The solar panels charge the batteries, which then power your home or cabin. If the battery charge is depleted, the generator will automatically activate to recharge the batteries, ensuring you have a continuous power supply.

Hybrid Solar Systems

Hybrid solar systems offer the best of both worlds, combining the benefits of grid-tied systems with the security of off-grid solutions. By utilizing BC Hydro's net-metering program https://app.bchydro.com/accounts-billing/electrical-connections/net-metering.html, you can reduce your electricity bills while maintaining a backup battery for energy independence. Hybrid systems are ideal for emergency preparedness, allowing you to use stored energy during power outages. You can also opt into BC Hydro's time-of-day billing https://app.bchydro.com/accounts-billing/rates-energy-use/electricity-rates/residential-rates/tiered-time-of-day.html, using your backup battery to power your home during peak hours, further lowering your electricity costs.

Earthquake Preparedness

In light of the recent increase in seismic activity around Vancouver Island, earthquake preparedness has become more critical than ever. Solar power systems with a backup battery provide a significant advantage during emergencies. It's important to note that without a battery, a solar panel system will not provide power during a grid outage. Our hybrid systems ensure you have a reliable power source when you need it most, enhancing your home's resilience against natural disasters.

Grants and Loans

We understand that investing in solar power can be a significant financial decision. That's why we are committed to helping our customers access available grants and loans to make the transition to solar energy more affordable. Our team will guide you through every step of the process, from system design and installation to navigating the financial incentives and applying for grants and loans. We are here to ensure that you receive all the support you need to achieve energy independence and sustainability.

Commercial Solar Systems

In addition to residential solutions, we offer comprehensive commercial solar systems for businesses. By transitioning to solar power, businesses can significantly reduce their energy costs and carbon footprint. Our commercial systems are designed to meet the specific needs of each business, ensuring maximum efficiency and savings.

By choosing Sprint for your solar power needs, you're investing in energy independence, sustainability, and peace of mind. Our expert team is here to help you navigate the best solar solutions for your home or business, ensuring you're prepared for any situation.
