Living off-grid is a viable alternative for Canadian homeowners when there is no grid.
Living off-grid is a way of life. It allows you to connect to the rhythm of the day and seasons. Shift offers the latest solar PV, inverters and battery technology to make your off-grid dream a reality, achieving energy independence, all while helping to improve the environment. No matter your motivation for going off-grid, our professionally accredited staff will custom design a system with your specific needs and requirements in mind.
Let’s take a look at how off-grid solar energy works:
1. Solar Panels
The Sun provides an abundant source of clean, renewable energy that is captured by monocrystalline solar panels.
2. Inverters
Inverters converts the solar energy from DC into usable AC energy to power your home.
3. Batteries
Batteries store energy for when the sun isn’t shining.
4. System Monitoring
Our systems are equipped with system monitoring, granting you access to the real-time status of your system from your smart-phone, tablet or computer.
5. Generator
The generator acts as a backup energy source and to help with the dark winter days.
Let’s talk about the benefits of solar power:
Seize your energy independence.
A quality solar installation in your home will generate clean energy for 25+ years.
Save money.
Generating energy from solar is 1/10th the cost as from gas, propane or diesel generators.
Earn an annualized return.
Compared to a conventional GIC earning 2%, investing in your home can generate an annualized return as high as 25-30% over a 25 year term.
Sell your home for more.
Adding solar to your home is known to increase your property value by an amount equivalent to the cost of the solar and battery storage system.
Contribute to a cleaner future.
Decrease your carbon footprint, exhaust fumes and noise pollution with a sustainable, solar powered home.

We have now lived in our 3,000 square foot off-grid home through all the seasons. With thirty solar panels, two lithium batteries for storage, and a back-up propane generator to help support us through the shoulder season, we feel more connected to nature and life than ever, and with no notable sacrifices. Big thanks to Shift, for their deep expertise, professionalism, and incredible service – during installation and at every point of contact since.

We called several companies in the area and Shift Energy Group was the only company that responded with a well thought out plan to match our requirements. Their response was quick, very professional and cost effective. After setting up an installation schedule our 4.2 kw (14 panels) array was installed in a day. The electrical setup was completed over the next week. Again a very professional installation. We really love our solar system.
– Keith W.
We chose shift because you were prompt and thorough in preparing and a quote and recommending the right system for our house. You came to our site and answered every question we had. The payback was better than we expected and the price the Shift Energy Group system was far cheaper than I expected. During the installation the installers answered more questions , showed me everything and were happy to include my recommendations on where and how to run wires in my house.
– Lee P.
Outstanding job! From initial planning to installation, the job couldn’t have been done better. The proposal was accurate, detailed and great value for money. The installation tram was truly exceptional. They came when promised and did the job quickly and perfectly. One other thing, everyone I dealt with was the nicest people to deal with … truly remarkable crew!
– Peter G.
Great service. Very competitive pricing, but the proof is in the performance. The solar system met its performance target for the first 12 months of operation.
