Your Local Solar Company
Roost Solar was founded with the belief that technology can change the way we consume and produce power and contribute to a cleaner, better world.
Roost Solar is based in Vernon, BC. We specialize in residential, agricultural and commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) installations and serve clients across the Thompson-Okanagan, including Vernon, Salmon Arm, Kamloops, Kelowna, and surrounding areas.
We believe that quality matters. We only use products that are built to last and have the strongest warranties in the industry.

Couldn’t be happier
“Steve and his team were a pleasure to work with! They have done an incredible job on the installation, were very professional, and took the time to make sure that we understood everything. Our house started generating more power than it uses within a day! We couldn’t be happier with our new solar system. I highly recommend Roost Solar.“
Attention to detail
“Some contractors are an absolute pleasure to work with, and Roost Solar is at the top of that list. They provided thorough quoting, excellent communication throughout construction, and paid attention to the even the smallest details. Thanks for the great work guys!“
Really understood our needs
“Roost Solar did a fantastic job installing our residential solar panels. We found that Steve from Roost Solar really understood our needs. He provided us multiple configurations to achieve our renewable energy goals. We chose the one that fit our renewable energy needs and only required panels on both sides of the garage roof. Thanks Steve for this fantastic job – we are more than happy.“
On time and on budget
“Stephen Russell and his crew at Roost Solar delivered exactly what they said they would. He took the time to explain in lay terms every aspect of the project and what we could expect. His quote was detailed and complete. The project was finished on time, on budget and the crew were very respectful and friendly throughout the process. Stephen provided references which gave us the confidence to use his company. We would not hesitate to recommend Roost Solar. In fact when we do the second phase of my system (storage) I will have them back.“
Professional team
“I was very impressed with the professionalism of the team during the entire process of getting our grid tied array, from the planning to the quotes to the actual install. I have no hesitation in recommending Roost, and I am very happy with our array.“
Accurate production estimates
“Steve and the Roost Solar crew made it easy to get into solar. When I first approached him about the possibility, Steve gave me a highly detailed estimate based on Google Maps, our current consumption, ROI… all of which is turning out to be right on the money. Steve is also great to work with, does what he says he’s going to do, when he said he was going to do it. We’re extremely pleased with the service and love being part of the solar ‘movement’!“
No pressure to buy
“Stephen was very knowledgeable, answering all of our questions without any pressure to buy. His crew were some of the best trades we’ve had at our home – polite, professional, efficient and friendly. I highly recommend Roost if you’re moving to solar!“
