Technical Considerations

Current and Future Needs

We encourage our clients to utilize ground mount arrays for the following:

A roofs impermeable membrane is penetrated multiple times by solar panel frame anchors.
Our Northern BC snow load covers roof mounted solar panels from 5 months (October to March) of the year.
The colder the ambient temperature the better solar panels perform when exposed to the sun.
Removing snow from roof mounted solar panels is a safety hazard, which we discourage.
Heat tape may damage the solar panel and/ or use more power than your panels produce.
Scraping ice and snow off a panel may damage their protective coating.

We can recommend an Energy Adviser upon request.

Grid Tied or Grid Interactive Solar Systems

Feed surplus energy to the grid for energy credits. Read more information on this return on your investment.

Off Grid

We love off grid solar in Northern British Columbia. 20 kW’s of self heating lithium batteries will provide hot water, an electric oven, a well pump, washer/ dryer and all single phase power tools without disruption.

Technology is Getting Smarter

Industry, modern homes and cottages must be dependable and sustainable. Given the trend toward zero-emissions and future transportation needs ,our need for self-sufficient electricity generation is on the rise.

Get the Lead Out

Blue Green Solar Ltd. encourages lithium battery storage, which delivers maximum performance over a longer lifespan.

Accessible Power

Solar panel technology has advanced exponentially. In Northern BC, a 180 degree south facing property with a 10kW vertical-ground-mounted array, should provide the average BC homeowner, with a positive credit.
