Solar, battery, and EV charging systems designed for Vernon homes, farms, and businesses, and installed by our in-house team from our office right here in town.
Roost Solar has been a local solar installer in Vernon since 2016. Our office and warehouse are here in town, and our team has designed and installed systems on homes, shops, barns, and commercial buildings across Vernon and the surrounding North Okanagan, from Coldstream and Lavington to Armstrong and Lumby.
Every system we build starts with your property and your energy use, not a template. Most residential systems in the area fall between 8 kW and 20 kW, sized around how much of your BC Hydro bill you want to offset. Surplus power your system exports earns credits through BC Hydro’s self-generation program, helping balance sunny summers against shorter winter days.
As a Licensed Electrical Contractor, we handle every part of your project in-house, from solar arrays and battery backup to EV chargers and the electrical upgrades that tie it all together.
Custom-designed solar arrays build to deliver reliable, long-term performance for your home or business.
Integrated battery solutions that provide back-up power, greater energy control, and added resilience.

No two Vernon properties are quite the same, and a good design accounts for the details that affect cost and performance before anything goes on the roof. Wondering what size system you might need? Our guide on how many solar panels you need walks through the basics.

Many Vernon homes have roofs that will need replacing within the life of a solar system. If yours has less than 10 years left, we’ll recommend addressing it first, since removing and reinstalling panels later adds real cost.
Rooflines vary widely across the city, from simple pitches to complex layouts with dormers and vents. South, east, and west-facing sections can all perform well, and where roof space is limited, a ground mount is often worth considering.
Some homes need a main panel upgrade or a service upgrade before solar can connect. We assess this during design and include it in your quote, so it never shows up as a surprise mid-project.
Barns, shops, and open land on Vernon’s outskirts are some of the strongest solar opportunities in the region. Metal roofs pair especially well with solar, using clamps that attach to the seams without drilling into the roof.
Our work is guided by a clear set of core values that shape how we engage with you, deliver technical excellence, and contribute to a sustainable future. These values are the foundation of every project and every interaction we have.
Honesty and transparency you can rely on.
