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.

Shift Energy Group are extremely professional and efficient. I had 18 panels installed on my home and I couldn’t be happier with the service provided from sales to technicians and administration support. The experience was outstanding. It made going greener easy!!

After considering several companies, we chose Shift’s Vancouver team for a rooftop system on our home in Delta. We were impressed by their comprehensive initial consultation, and their quote was lower than the competition… and with better quality components! They were informative and responsive throughout the initial consultation and design phases, including several revisions at my request (I kept wanting to add panels!) and lots of nerdy questions from me. The installation crew was easy-going, professional, and tidy. Everything was completed on schedule, and our 11.4 kw system has been soaking up free sun power for over 3 months. I’m a bit obsessed with the real-time monitoring app! Post-installation support (questions about net metering, documentation for the federal rebate) was great. We were very satisfied from start to finish. We’re glad we took the plunge to make this investment in our home and the environment, and very glad we chose Shift!

Recently had Shift Energy install a residential solar system. Matt who provided the initial estimate and explained the process from start to finish was excellent in helping understand the process. The actual system installers were professional and extremely friendly. We had 26 panels installed and the work was completed in three days from start to finish. The guys cleaned up after themselves each day and showed up when they said they were going to. Explained what they were doing each step of the way and answered all of our questions. A super crew. They even did a quick favour on the roof for us unrelated to the installation. The administration folks were also great in sending required paperwork as we were participating in the Canada Greener Homes Program and needed to coordinate with them. We were very impressed with the entire Shift Energy team and would highly recommend them.

Absolutely excellent experience working with Shift Solar to make our family home Energy Resilient. Tim worked WITH us to find the right balance of Solar & Power Walls, along with design of a complete home Electrical upgrade. Steve coordinated the installation with our Electricians from Primary Electric, and now we are Future Proof. 39 Panels, 18kw Solar and 2 power walls more than powers our Home, hobbies, and our Electric Cars. Talk about fast payback on panels, they cover all our driving as well. Highly recommend working with Shift, I know we are well taken care of.

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!
