Empower Your Home with Solar
Hakai Energy Solutions can help you take control of your home energy costs with high-quality solar panel installation. Take advantage of both solar power and grid power to create an efficient and reliable system for your home.
Residential solar energy systems
Harness the power of the sun with a complete solar energy system. Transition to cleaner, greener electricity for your home or have your home solar system installed during the construction of a new home.
Home solar offers the possibility to reduce your dependence on utility-generated electricity with solar panels mounted to your roof. Home solar users can see significant savings by opting for a solar energy system including a significant increase in the value of their home.
What is a residential grid-tied solar system?
A grid-tied photovoltaic system is simply a home solar system that is interconnected with the utility electrical grid. This means that the home can draw from both power sources and have an efficient and uninterrupted supply of power.
If the solar power system is not producing enough electricity, it will start pulling from the grid, and if it produces more than necessary, it will put energy back into the grid which is stored as a credit for future power usage.
Benefits of a grid-tied home solar system:
- Save money on your monthly power bill.
Solar panels can save you thousands of dollars on electricity bills over their lifespan and offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly way to power your home. Contact us for a free estimate.
- Invest in your energy independence.
Adding a solar installation to your home will increase the value of your property and the addition of a Tesla Powerwall can bring you closer to energy independence.
- Lower your family’s carbon footprint.
Solar panels are a zero-emission source of clean energy for your home and with the addition of an EV charger, you can help to fight climate change by powering your car with the sun.
- Benefit Financially
Once your investment has paid off, you’ll be generating a return on your investment for approximately 20 years. An investment in a solar energy system is secure and is linked to the escalating cost of utility-generated electricity. When BC Hydro rates rise, your investment value grows.

“It was a dream of ours to have our house powered by Solar and this Spring we made the switch. Living in the Comox Valley we knew about Hakai and their strong reputation but we still did our due diligence and sought additional estimates from other strong competitors. But in the end we decided to stay local and work with Hakai for the solar install. Our system was thoughtfully planned to meet our needs and their attention to detail was incredible.
We were so thrilled with the professionalism shown by the whole team from day 1. They made us confident in our choice to go with them right from project kickoff. Their crews were polite, personable, professional and courteous. We highly recommend anyone considering going solar to contact Hakai. Now our system is up and running we watch with excitement as the power flows in. We also appreciated the follow up and system monitoring they provided. Honestly I wish every business was this wonderful to work with. Keep up the awesome work team!”
