Benefits of Solar
Solar is a smart investment that not only lowers your energy bills but can also earn you valuable rebates, giving you a faster return the sooner you install. Today’s panels are designed to perform reliably in all weather conditions and are backed by long-term warranties that protect your investment. With almost no maintenance required, solar panels will continue working efficiently for decades, making them a dependable and cost-effective choice for your home.
How Solar PV Systems Work
Solar PV systems capture energy from the sun and turn it into electricity you can use throughout your home or even to charge your electric car. The process is highly efficient and completely renewable, giving you clean power that reduces costs and reliance on the grid. If you want to dive deeper into the technology, we’ve put together a detailed guide in our blog.

FAQ
Are solar panels a good investment?
Yes. Modern solar panels are designed to last 25 to 30 years, producing clean, reliable electricity for decades. They reduce your bills, increase property value, and lock in long-term energy savings.
Why invest in a grid-tied solar system?
A grid-tied system connects directly to BC Hydro, so you use the power you produce first and send any extra back to the grid. This lowers your monthly utility bill, protects you from rising rates, and earns credits through net metering.
What happens during a power outage?
For safety, grid-tied systems automatically shut off when the utility power goes down. Once service is restored, your system reconnects on its own.
How much will solar save me?
Savings depend on your home, roof space, and energy use. Many B.C. homeowners offset a large share of their electricity costs, and those savings grow as utility rates continue to rise.
Is my roof suitable for solar?
Most homes are. Before any installation, we inspect your roof to ensure it is ready, safe, and has the right exposure. Panels can even help protect your roof from the elements.
What is net metering?
Net metering is a program through BC Hydro that tracks the difference between the power you use and the power you send back. Extra electricity you produce earns credits on your bill, lowering your overall costs.
Do I need a permit for solar panels?
Yes. Solar installations in B.C. require electrical permits and approval from your utility. Magnum handles all permits and paperwork on your behalf, so the process is seamless and fully compliant with local regulations.
Do BC Hydro offer a rebate for solar panels and battery storage?
BC Hydro is offering rebates up to $5,000 on eligible grid-connected solar panels and up to an additional $5,000 for battery storage systems to qualifying residential customers. You can install solar panels or a battery, or both to maximize the value of your project and your rebate.
