Customer Reviews

Margaret Schroeder

Patrick and his team were wonderful to work with. Communication was top notch and they gave us the information to make good choices along the way to best fit our needs. They provided support through the confusing steps of the government loan application/inspection process and are still accessible whenever we have questions about our solar or the app connected to it.

Okanagan Solar was amazing to work with! They helped us understand and navigate the whole process (quoting, government application, energy assessment, installation) and then when it finally came time to install the 20 panels, their team had it done in less than a day. I would highly recommend them to anyone in Kelowna looking for solar panels on their home.

Jay Weeks

We have now had our Solar Power Panels from Okanagan Solar for just under 2 years now and are so pleased with Okanagan Solar for explaining the process and functionality of our system. One panel stopped and with in a couple of days Okanagan Solar had it repaired and working again. Their customer service is second to none. I recommend everyone to contact Okanagan Solar to look into solar power and the benefits it offers to you and the environment. Thank you Okanagan Solar you are awesome.

John Whitehead

I was really impressed with OKSolar's customer service. They responded quickly to my initial question and provided a solution over the phone for panels that were not generating, by having me check and reset breakers. I will know next time what to look for if this happens again. Two panels were still not generating and it was determined that an inverter had gone down. Within a week they had a new one installed. What impressed me the most was that the two techs that came to the house to replace the inverter spent the time needed to check and make sure everything was up and running before they left, even though it took some time and not as easy as it may have seemed. Buying a system and being pleased with the initial install is one thing, receiving great customer service when things go south is another and in my judgement, OKSolar passed. Thanks Patrick and team! - John

John Stimson

We had a great experience with OK Solar on our solar panel installation. Their quote was 10-20% cheaper than the other companies I compared to. Pat was prompt and helpful in planning the job, providing direction on securing the interest free federal loan, and applying for our BC Hydro $5K rebate. There were no unexpected costs and their crew was hardworking and professional, installing on the exact date they quoted. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Okanagan Solar plan a residential system?

It builds a 3D home model to estimate system size, panel layout and payback. A site visit is often needed to assess the electrical layout and installation logistics, including the panel, roof and shading.

How long does a residential installation take?

Residential installations average one to three days, though timing varies with project size and system complexity.

Will Okanagan Solar's grid-tied panels work during a power outage?

Grid-tied systems without battery backup shut down during an outage; battery storage can provide backup power.
