We Pride Ourselves on Our Dedication to Quality Solar Services.
MAG Solar recently completed a residential solar installation Vancover for a homeowner aiming to boost energy efficiency and benefit from B.C.’s renewable energy programs.
Vancouver’s climate may be known for rain, but solar PV systems perform effectively year-round when built and positioned correctly. This project is a great example of how durable solar panels and smart system design can bring long-term savings, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and return clean electricity to the grid.
Dominic reached out to our MAG Solar team with a clear set of goals. He wanted to lower his long-term energy costs and reduce reliance on the grid without sacrificing reliability. Vancouver’s fluctuating hydro rates and seasonal electricity usage prompted him to explore Vancouver renewable energy systems.
Another driving factor was British Columbia’s net metering program. Dominic saw the opportunity to return excess electricity from his solar PV system to the grid in exchange for credits. This allowed his home to become a small-scale contributor to Vancouver’s renewable energy network.
He was also motivated to reduce his household’s carbon footprint and support B.C.’s transition to renewable energy. After considering his options, Dominic wanted a reliable and experienced installer. He chose us because of our local expertise and ability to deliver a seamless, technically sound system.
To meet Dominic’s goals, our team developed a high-performance solar energy system built around efficiency, durability, and grid integration. Every part of the solar system design focuses on long-term performance, user confidence, and smart energy use.
We installed 23 monocrystalline 410w panels for maximum solar power output. These premium modules are renowned for their consistent performance, even in diffused sunlight—an ideal match for Vancouver’s climate. The solar panels Vancouver, BC, are set at an angle that optimizes year-round solar capture and minimizes shading throughout the day.
Our experienced solar experts recommended the SolarEdge inverter for its compatibility with optimizers so each panel can operate independently at its best. This boosts output in partly shaded conditions and improves monitoring accuracy. If one panel is affected by cloud cover or debris, the rest of the system continues to function at full capacity.
For a super-efficient solar power system, we connected directly with the grid to benefit from BC Hydro’s net metering program. Any excess electricity generated during the day is exported back to the electrical grid for energy credits to offset usage or during low-production months. This reduces monthly electricity bills and provides long-term financial benefits.
For all our residential and commercial customers, we manage permits and approvals from start to finish. This includes working with city inspectors, coordinating grid interconnection with BC Hydro, and meeting all technical and safety standards. By streamlining the process, we help projects stay on schedule and stress-free for the property owner.
When installing solar panels, we use components built to handle moisture, temperature swings, and strong winds. The system features corrosion-resistant racking and IP-rated wiring enclosures for lasting performance. This focus on durability helps reduce maintenance needs and keeps energy production consistent over time.
Our installers guaranteed the solar panel system was designed flexibly for future upgrades. Ideally, it supports SolarEdge battery storage, charge controllers, and other components for a more advanced energy setup. This future-ready approach allows homeowners to work toward full energy independence while adapting to changing energy needs.
Our team completed the entire Vancouver solar installation within a single day. Preparation and planning were key to minimizing disruptions and getting the system online quickly. Here’s what made this project stand out:
"I'm very happy with our newly installed solar panels. MAG Solar offers grid-tied systems, which I find beneficial to reduce energy costs and maximize renewable energy sources. Our household is now using clean power. I like how the team fully explain everything from day one."

See how clean and seamless our installation was. We make sure to meet clients’ expectations accurately. Here are the final results.
Dominic’s experience shows that with the right team, solar system installation is straightforward and rewarding. If you’re ready to reduce your energy costs and take control of your electricity use, we can design solar PV systems that meet local standards and match your household energy goals. Contact us to schedule a consultation and see why we’re trusted for renewable energy installations across British Columbia.
The average cost to install solar power is approximately $3.34 per watt, which comes to about $25,050 for a 7.5kW solar PV system. That said, the actual price can vary depending on factors such as your energy usage, system size, installation location, and any available government rebates.
Homeowners in British Columbia can receive a rebate of $1,000 for every kilowatt (kW) of solar power installed. The rebate covers up to 50% of the total system cost—including materials and labour—with a maximum payout of $5,000.
