Customer Reviews

Lorri Hume

I was very pleased with Roost solar installation. Everyone who worked on the project was friendly, helpful and positive. They explained things until I understood and now that they are installed, I love watching them work. I can hardly wait until the days get longer and we get more sunshine!

Laurel Swan

We had an incredible experience with Roost Solar from start to finish. The entire process was so easy. Everything was clearly explained, and the team was super professional, knowledgeable, and down to earth. They did exactly what they said they would do, when they said they would do it. We couldn’t ask for a better experience and would recommend Roost Solar to anyone looking to make the switch!

I am so pleased with every aspect of having our home updated to solar power. Roost solar handled every part of the process with absolutely the best and most timely way possible. From office to installation, we were so well looked after. I cannot recommend Roost Solar highly enough. Thank you so much Cathy, Robert and all the installation crew.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Roost Solar connect a system to BC Hydro?

It prepares the self-generation application, installs the system to Technical Safety BC and BC Hydro requirements, and uploads final documentation to BC Hydro's portal. BC Hydro typically authorizes interconnection within a few weeks.

How does Roost Solar handle different roof types?

On shingled roofs, it uses black aluminum flashing at each footing. Standing-seam metal roofs use clamps that avoid roof penetrations, while most flat-roof installations use ballasted racking.

What maintenance do Roost Solar systems need?

The systems require very little maintenance. Roost Solar recommends against removing snow from panels and generally does not recommend panel cleaning.

Does Roost Solar offer financing?

Financing options are available through VanCity's Planet-Wise Renovation Loan.
