We Pride Ourselves on Our Dedication to Quality Solar Services.
Solar Installation BC continues to gain momentum as homeowners like Jane R. in Chilliwack look to reduce their long-term energy expenses. Concerned about rising utility rates and motivated by environmental benefits, Jane decided to hire someone to install a solar PV system. With the right incentives in place and a property well-suited for solar, their investment already shows promising returns.
Jane, like many homeowners across British Columbia, was growing frustrated with the increase in electricity costs. She wanted a solution that could lock in her energy expenses for the long term. Beyond the financial side, she was interested in the environmental benefits of switching to solar.
Her goal was to rely less on the grid and instead use clean, local solar energy systems. She also wanted to protect her property value and take advantage of available rebates before they changed or expired. Jane knew about the benefits of net metering and wanted to use less traditional energy, so she contacted MAG Solar for a reliable solar solution.
Based on the current condition of Jane’s roof and the local weather in mind, we installed a 16 kW solar power system. Chilliwack experiences varying cloud coverage and frequent rain, so we needed to make sure the system would still perform well throughout the year.
For this project, we selected high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels to deliver consistent performance in low-light conditions—an essential factor in coastal BC regions. These panels have strong output and long service life, which aligns with Jane’s interest in long-term savings.
Jane applied for and received the BC Hydro $5,000 rebate to lower her upfront cost of solar panels. We managed all the paperwork and ensured everything met eligibility requirements. She enrolled in BC’s net metering program, so any excess electricity gets returned to the grid in exchange for credits.
Our certified solar contractor completed the project efficiently and professionally. The site was fully prepped, permits were secured, and the system was installed in just one day. Quick, organized work like this minimizes disruption and gets homeowners saving on energy faster.
"I wanted a smarter way to handle my electricity costs, and MAG Solar delivered exactly what I needed: professional work, great savings, and a solid system I can rely on. MAG Solar made everything seamless, from the rebate paperwork to installation. I’m already seeing savings!"

A switch to solar PV reduces monthly utility bills and boosts a home’s energy independence and long-term value. Our efficient installation and knowledge of available programs help property owners benefit from lower energy costs and renewable energy production.

In British Columbia, solar panel systems can cost between $2.60 and $3.27 per watt installed. A standard residential system (around 6 to 10 kW) can range from $12,000 to $30,000 before rebates. Solar panel costs vary based on system size, equipment type, roof layout, and installation complexity.
Grid-tied solar energy systems are connected to the local utility grid. This system allows homeowners to use solar power when available and draw from the grid when needed. Excess energy generated is sent back to the grid to earn credits through net metering.
Most solar panels come with a 25-year performance warranty and a 10–to 12-year product warranty. Inverters carry 10–12-year coverage, while installation workmanship is warranted for 5–10 years. These warranties guarantee long-term performance and protect against manufacturing or installation defects.
