The best at what they do
-
I had my solar system installed a few years ago by Lars and his team. I highly recommend them. Knowledgeable and personnable, they were more than happy to answer the hundreds of questions I had regarding their systems. I'm going on my third year and my panels are going strong and producing above my expectations. There was a small hiccup with one of my panels a year in but it was fixed seamlessly. If you're thinking of going solar, do no hesitate to give them a call!

We are very happy with our Grid-Tie solar installation. It was executed earlier than expected by an amazingly professional team. There were some technical issues later, which were efficiently resolved by Joshua. IPS is the go-to company for all your solar projects!

Amazing team approach. I did my homework and IPS came out on top. They were considerate, fully knowledgeable, immensely capable, and shared in my glee with my first zero power bill from fortis. Great group of guys. I recommend you short list them for your solar needs. -
Josh and Lars were great to deal with! Top notch guys that did everything that they promised. We had a lot of questions for them and they were happy to answer them all.I would highly recommend them.
Thank you for the great service it was a pleasure to deal with you!

Remote setup that I completed this summer. First time for me in solar. Very pleased with the product, the support and the follow up. They were very helpful all the way and the system performs as advertised. I am really happy that I chose to go the Lead-Carbon route as Lars suggested.

The entire process of working with Lars at IPS was seamless. Lars analyzed our power consumption and helped us size a solar system for our home in Golden, BC and estimate a return on investment. He also answered all our questions about dealing with BC Hydro, which is actually a very simple process. The local crew under the direction of Lars installed the 'grid-tie' system within 2 days and the next day we were generating power back to the grid. We can use an app to track our solar production by hour/day/week/year. I would highly recommend IPS.

1 Year ago we purchased a home that already had a system installed from IPS. We have been extremely happy with how the system performs. IPS was very helpful to walk us through using the online platform to check on our generation and to explain to us the type of system we have and how it works. Our system was installed with the capacity to add more panels at a future date. We will definitely be doing that in the near future as we find that the current amount is just not quite enough for our growing family. -
My new 15kW solar array has been running for a week and already generating a nice surplus of power ! Lars from IPS did a great job, first coming out to carefully survey my roof and provide detailed calculations of the power production, taking into account the roof orientation and shading from the western hills and trees. The quote was clearly detailed with everything easy to follow. I needed to get a new roof installed as well and Lars took the time to work with my Roofer to make sure all the fittings and panel layout were going to work. They took care of the Fortis Net Metering application and the permit paperwork. The installation crew did a good job and cleaned up the site nicely once they left. The online monitoring is also very cool, can see how each panel is performing and get a complete record of energy production. Final install bill matched the quote exactly, no surprises. Very happy with the end result, and I should have a Net Zero power bill each year !

Frequently Asked Questions
Both utility companies BC Hydro and FortisBC, restrict your system size to meet your electrical needs. But you can put in a big enough system to get to Net Zero. Generally speaking it is most cost effective to install a system that keeps your power consumption out of the more expensive 2nd Tier.
For an average sized grid-tie system the payback period can be as low as 8-10 years. This varies depending on how much electricity you normally use and much your system reduces your utility costs. We will happily provide you with a custom financial analysis.
For grid-tie systems, no you don’t need batteries. The electrical production is being calculated by your smart meter and the grid is now your battery. Battery back-up systems are available, but they are significantly more expensive. Off-grid systems require batteries.
