Solar, battery, and EV charging systems designed for Kamloops homes, farms, and businesses, built for hot, dry Thompson Valley summers and installed by our in-house team.
Kamloops’ semi-arid climate and strong annual sun hours make it a natural fit for solar. Clear skies through much of the year mean more production from every panel, which is the foundation of a strong long-term return.
Roost Solar has served Kamloops as part of our Thompson-Okanagan coverage area since 2016. Most residential systems here fall between 8 kW and 20 kW, sized around your energy use and goals. For properties served by BC Hydro, surplus power your system exports earns credits through BC Hydro’s self-generation program, helping balance strong summer production against shorter winter days.
Whether you’re powering a home, a shop, or a working farm, our Licensed Electrical Contractor team designs and installs every part of your system, from the panels and battery backup to EV chargers and electrical upgrades.
Custom-designed solar arrays build to deliver reliable, long-term performance for your home or business.

Kamloops properties range from city lots to large acreages and ranches, and each comes with its own design considerations. Getting them right at the start is what makes a system perform well for decades.

Solar panels lose a little efficiency as they heat up, and Kamloops summers are some of the hottest in BC. Choosing panels with a good temperature coefficient helps hold onto more output during peak months. Curious how the seasons compare? Our guide on whether solar panels work better in summer or winter explains it.
On rural properties, the distance between the array and the electrical panel can be significant, and some older services need upgrading before solar can connect. We assess this during design and include it in your quote upfront.
Depending on where you are in Kelowna, your property may be served by FortisBC or BC Hydro. Each has its own process for connecting a solar system and crediting surplus power, and we handle the application with whichever utility serves you.
Metal roofs on shops and agricultural buildings are some of the best surfaces for solar. Clamp systems attach directly to the seams without drilling into the roof, and the roof’s long lifespan matches the panels well.
When you work with Roost Solar, the people who design your system are the same people who install it. No subcontracted crews, and no handoffs.
Because electrical requirements are assessed upfront and included in your quote, our quotes are firm, so you know what your project will cost before you commit. We also manage the electrical permit and BC Hydro interconnection from start to finish.
We keep panels, inverters, racking, and electrical components stocked at our Vernon warehouse, so our crews arrive with what they need and service or warranty visits aren’t held up waiting on parts.
We listen, ask questions, and
understand what matters most.
