We Pride Ourselves on Our Dedication to Quality Solar Services.
Solar installation Chilliwack is an increasingly popular choice for homeowners looking to escape unpredictable energy costs and embrace renewable energy. Our team at MAG Solar recently completed a large-scale 18.9 kW residential solar project for Greg H.
Despite Chilliwack’s variable weather patterns, solar PV systems in the Fraser Valley can still perform reliably year-round with the right design and equipment. This project shows that a well-designed solar system can provide savings and real energy independence, even in cloudier areas.
Greg contacted MAG Solar to help reduce his long-term energy bills and make his home more self-sufficient. With energy rates rising and climate concerns at the forefront of his mind, he was eager to explore sustainable solutions. He also wanted to take full advantage of BC Hydro’s $5,000 solar rebate.
Greg saw the potential of net metering to turn his home into a mini power producer by sending extra solar power back to the grid for credits. He wanted an experienced team to manage the full process. After reviewing his options, he chose MAG Solar for our strong track record in residential installations.
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.
To help Greg achieve consistent savings and sustainable power, our team engineered a robust, high-yield solar PV system tailored to the Fraser Valley’s environment and BC’s renewable energy programs.
We installed 46 monocrystalline 410w panels across Greg’s roof to deliver optimal solar coverage. These high-output panels were selected to maximize peak-hour generation and maintain strong production through Chilliwack’s rainy months.
A SolarEdge inverter paired with module-level optimizers guarantees each panel performs independently. This approach boosts efficiency in mixed light conditions and ensures that even if one panel is shaded, the rest continue at full output.
The system was qualified under BC Hydro’s net metering policy. By exporting surplus electricity to the grid, Greg earns energy credits that offset his future utility bills, which are beneficial during lower production seasons.
We managed all approvals, permits, and interconnection steps—from the initial design to final grid activation. Our streamlined process ensured that Greg’s system was up and running quickly, with zero complications and no red tape.
Chilliwack’s damp climate required components engineered for longevity. We used moisture-resistant racking, sealed electrical enclosures, and UV-stable cabling to ensure the system remains efficient and low maintenance for decades.
Our MAG Solar team fully designed the system to comply with CleanBC rebate criteria to help Greg secure the $5,000 incentive. The setup is also battery-ready, which allows him to expand in the future with energy storage.
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.
This large-scale Chilliwack solar installation was completed in just one day with careful planning and our experienced installation team. Key highlights:
"Switching to solar was something I’d thought about for years. MAG Solar made it easy, and they handled everything. The installation was smooth, and now I’m already seeing the savings. I highly recommend them if you’re thinking about solar in Chilliwack."

Note: These visuals help other homeowners picture how solar could fit into their own homes. Seeing a real-world example builds confidence in both the process and the final result of installing solar panels.
Their successful transition to solar power shows how Fraser Valley homeowners can ditch rising electricity costs, reduce their carbon footprint, and benefit from BC government incentives.

Chilliwack receives around 1,100–1,300 kWh/m² of solar irradiance annually, sufficient for high-efficiency panels. MAG Solar designs systems with overcast conditions in mind, using optimizers, tilt angles, and smart layout strategies. This ensures strong performance during cloudy months.
Moisture and humidity can be an issue if not adequately addressed. That’s why we at MAG Solar use corrosion-resistant racking, sealed junction boxes, and UV/weather-stable cabling. These upgrades are important for durability in Chilliwack’s wet climate and help panels last well over 25 years.
Standard grid-tied systems automatically shut off during a power outage. This is a safety requirement to protect utility workers repairing the lines. Your system can be upgraded to include battery backup or hybrid functionality for energy independence during blackouts.
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.
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.
