5.5kW Ground Mount Solar Panel Installation in Nanaimo BC

After using a small solar panel to power his chicken coop, this homeowner decided he wanted to go bigger and reduce his reliance on BC Hydro for his entire Vancouver Island home. Our solar team designed, installed and commissioned a scalable ground-mounted PV system large enough to produce over one-third of his annual electricity needs.

This 20 panel, 5.5kW system was installed in the fall of 2017 and will allow for a significant reduction in energy costs, provide peace of mind for the customers, and add value to the property.

From system design to installation to commissioning, Shift delivers quality, turn-key solar solutions to each and every customer, no matter the size of the system being installed. Give us a call and let us show you why we are the highest rated solar installation company in British Columbia.

Lot's of enthusiasm and hard work during the execution of our project. All details were explained and disclosed so there were no surprises. Project was within a budget and on time despite being unique ground level (not roof) installation.

I found this company extremely organized. They have made it easy to navigate all the procedures to get your quote. After breezing through the instructions I quickly realized this company knows what they are doing and do it well. Highly recommend Shift Energy (Solar) Group.

The change to solar seemed scary and daunting at first but the guys at Shift made the upgrade painless and exciting. We choose to go with Shift because of great word of mouth, the quality of their work I'd seen in the field, expertise and of course competitive pricing. Our family decided to make the switch to solar because we purchased an electric car and were getting fed up with rising hydro costs. Our hydro bill has almost doubled in 10 years and we are sick and tired of being robbed by BC Hydro. The whole process was quick and seamless, we were only out of power for a couple hours. Tim did an excellent job of explaining the system to us and going over power generation estimates. The installation team were great too, nice guys and easy to deal with. I would highly recommend getting solar installed to anyone interested. My only regret is that we didn't make the switch sooner.

Everything about our experience with Shift was amazing! We started out with no expectations or underlying knowledge. We thought it was worth investigating since we were getting a new roof, but figured it would probably be too expensive. Well, the cost was lower than we expected and the benefit was higher! The whole process was very easy and painless to get a quote and then work together to refine it into the best possible solution for our situation. We got four quotes and Shifts was the most comprehensive, best warranty, and cheapest price too. Communication was prompt and excellent. Everyone I talked to was professional and knowledgeable and collaborative. Install was quick and easy and they went above and beyond by coming early one morning to shut off the power while I was dropping the kids off at school so I'd be able to work from home for the rest of the day. We are very happy overall and are highly recommending Shift Energy Group to anyone and everyone we talk to!

The four person team from Shift Energy Group that installed 30 solar panels and completed wiring for Tesla Power Walls at my rural location did an superb job. I was very impressed with the way they worked smoothly and cheerfully together in difficult weather and site circumstances. They found some brilliant solutions to arising problems. They built on the expertise of each individual to efficiently complete a complicated job. I give Shift Energy Group a 5 star plus excellent rating.
