Our portfolio
Roost Solar has a strong reputation for quality installations and great customer service. Our installations range from small residential arrays to large 400+ panel projects designed to meet the needs of farms and commercial enterprises with high electricity demands. A sample of our projects is provided below.
2021-01-28 14:12:30 83 This project was installed using S-5 PV Kits. The PV kits are rail-less and clamp the panels directly onto the standing seam metal roof, creating a super sleek design. 2021-01-28 13:26:13 73 This ground mount has an adjustable racking system that can be tilted for optimal production each season. Coupled with bi-facial panels that can produce power from the back side too, this array has impressive power output. The EnergyHub inverter and backup battery ensure the homeowner will have a safe supply of power during grid outages. 2021-01-29 13:19:02 86 The panels in this array were attached to the curved metal roof using clamps that avoided all roof penetrations. Next time you are at the Kelowna Visitor Centre check it out! 2021-01-19 19:20:57 67 This solar array was installed on a dairy barn in late summer 2019. It is the largest solar PV system on a farm in BC! 2021-01-28 14:30:41 85 This system was designed to offset the high electricity needs of the long-term commercial tenants. Each 315W panel produces about 350 kWh of electricity per year. 2021-02-01 18:58:25 95 The panels in this array perfectly filled the south roof and made a beautiful addition to this newly constructed shop. 2021-01-28 14:10:08 82 Sometimes when you want to eliminate that hydro bill you have to use a lot of your roof! This project covered seven different roof faces and will offset 100% of household electricity use. 2021-01-28 14:21:26 84 This rammed earth and timberframe home has a standing seam metal roof. Solar was installed using clamps that avoided all roof penetrations. 2021-01-28 14:05:24 80 South-facing slopes are a great place to install flush ground mount systems. This system was installed in 2017 and has produced over 35 Megawatt hours (MWh) of energy in that time. 2021-01-29 14:57:47 87 This not for profit was looking for a long term way to help control their monthly electricity costs and turned to solar! Their array includes both ballasted flat roof mounts and flush roof mounts. 2021-02-02 17:55:50 106 This array covers the south-facing slope of the farm's workshop and offsets almost 50% of the farm's electricity use. 2021-01-28 13:56:21 78 A ballasted roof mount is a great addition to this new build. Ballasted roof mounts are used on houses with flat roofs and avoid all roof penetrations. 2021-01-28 13:44:20 77 This mid-size array was installed on a steeper barn metal roof. Metal roofs are great for solar PV systems because the longevity of the roof itself matches well with the 30+ year lifespan of the solar panels we install. 2021-01-28 14:01:17 79 Micro-inverters are a cost-effective way to maximize the electrical output of each panel on smaller systems. This project was installed in three phases and now offsets almost 50% of household electricity use. 2021-01-28 13:41:50 76 This system was installed on a pole barn. The number of panels that can fit on a barn roof varies based on the size of the roof and the roofs maximum structural load capability. 2021-02-01 19:15:06 96 An east-west orientation was used for this ballasted roof mount. Ballasted roof mounts are used on houses with flat roofs and avoid all roof penetrations. This house also includes a Tesla Powerwall. 2021-01-19 19:20:57 69 This net zero home was oriented perfectly south at a steep angle. With a roof full of panels and two 13.5 kWh Tesla Powerwalls, this house had all the bells and whistles and was showcased in Canadian Contractor in Sept 2019. 2021-01-28 13:39:33 75 This smaller agricultural system was designed to offset electricity usage from the orchard’s cold storage building. 2021-02-01 14:11:08 94 The owners of this farm wanted to reduce their dependence on hydro power and it’s associated costs. 2021-01-19 19:20:57 65 This commercial system was installed across two different roofs and shows that solar can work even with lots of rooftop HVAC units in the way! 2021-01-28 13:32:10 74 This installation includes two backup batteries and an EnergyHub inverter, providing energy autonomy for the homeowner during grid outages. 2021-02-02 14:39:01 105 The array on this hobby farm was installed across two different roof faces. The layout includes one row of panels in landscape orientation to maximize use of roof space. 2021-01-19 19:20:57 70 The owners of this business wanted solar to complement their leading practices in sustainable operations and manufacturing (including heat recapture from their lens manufacturing processes). 2021-02-02 18:23:40 107 This project used larger 380 watt (144 split cell) panels which are about 78" long and 39" wide, and weigh about 45 pounds each. The panels cover two roof surfaces and offset 100% of the electricity usage at this orchard. 2021-01-19 19:20:57 68 A beautiful and tranquil spot for this ground mount system. A fully outdoor-rated inverter allows all the equipment to be mounted outside, saving indoor space and allowing AC to be run back to the house. 2021-01-19 19:20:57 60 When your roof is not ideal for solar, a small ground mount like this one is a great alternative. 2021-01-19 19:20:57 62 This small commercial installation helps this business keep their operational costs down. 2021-01-19 19:20:57 58 During the build process is a great time to install solar like this system in Ashton Creek.90 panel (28 kW) system in Vernon
