Welcome to Solar Direct!

Your local connection to clean, affordable solar power.

Solar Direct helps homeowners across Kelowna and the Okanagan explore solar energy with honest advice, clear expectations, and no-pressure conversations.

We focus on education first — helping you understand whether solar makes sense for your home, your roof, and your energy usage. From permitting to installation, our process is designed to be simple, transparent, and built for BC’s climate.

    Why Go Solar in Kelowna?

    Kelowna receives over 2,000 hours of sunshine every year, making it one of the best regions in British Columbia for solar energy.

    With solar, you can:
    • Reduce or eliminate your electricity bills
    • Offset up to 100% of your annual power usage
    • Lower your carbon footprint
    • Protect yourself from rising energy costs
    • Qualify for net metering with BC Hydro or FortisBC
    Solar isn’t just good for the environment — it’s a smart long-term investment for Okanagan homeowners.

Solar Is The Smart Choice

Solar panels are one of the few home upgrades that actually puts money back in your pocket.

  • Typical annual ROI: 7%–12%

  • Average payback period: 9–12 years

  • System lifespan: 25+ years

  • Added resale value — solar is a buyer bonus

  • Net metering lets you earn credits when you overproduce

Eco-Friendly. Future-Focused.

Every kilowatt-hour of solar power you generate reduces your reliance on fossil fuels and lowers your home’s environmental impact.

Going solar helps protect what makes the Okanagan special — clean air, fresh water, and a future worth passing on to the next generation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Kelowna is one of the sunniest cities in BC – receiving over 2000 hours annually – making it ideal for solar. With proper system sizing, many homeowners offset most or all of their annual electricity use and enjoy long-term savings.

Most residential systems range between $15,000 and $30,000, depending on system size, roof layout, and energy goals.

Through net metering, excess electricity is sent back to the grid and credited to your BC Hydro or FortisBC account. You can use those credits during lower-production months like winter!

Yes. Solar panels still produce energy in winter and overcast conditions — just at lower levels. Snow usually slides off panels, and net metering balances seasonal differences.

Heavy smoke can temporarily reduce output, similar to cloudy days. Over the course of a year, the impact is typically minimal.

A great roof for solar is:

  • Facing south, east, or west
  • Free from heavy shading
  • In good condition

We provide honest assessments with transparent advice – even if solar isn’t the right fit.

Yes. Depending on your situation, you may qualify for:

  • BC Hydro rebates – up to $5,000 for solar and $5,000 for batteries
  • PST exemption on solar equipment in BC
  • Net metering programs with BC Hydro or FortisBC

We’ll help identify what applies to you.

Most systems break even in 9–12 years. With incentives, net metering, and rising energy costs, payback can be even faster.

After that, your system continues producing power for decades — delivering a typical ROI of 7%–12% annually.

Standard grid-tied systems shut down during outages for safety. If backup power is important to you, battery storage options are available.
