VREC Solar recently completed the installation of a 5.92 kW photovoltaic system on Trout Lake Housing Co-op in Vancouver. It uses 370 W Silfab 370W 66 cell mono Elite All Black Module modules (panels). These modules are manufactured in Bellingham, WA. It was exciting to use panels manufactured in our local bio-region. It was also […]
Vancouver Renewable Energy (VREC) had another record breaking year in 2013 for solar photovoltaic systems installation.
This June will mark seven years that North Vancouver resident Dough Horn has been producing all of his electrical needs from a solar energy system on his roof.
Given the relative cost of solar energy and the resources needed to produce solar equipment, we believe that systems should be designed to optimize production. There are many factors that can contribute to a system preforming optimally and proper design is crucial. Unfortunately architects, builders and even solar installers do not always understand these design […]
Update: These are now all sold out. But we have similar modules starting at $0.82 /W for small quantities. Discounts available for larger quantities. We have some great pricing on a few models of solar photovoltaic modules. There are limited quantities of these modules available. Off-grid Price per W Price per Module Astronergy 190W […]
A CBC news story yesterday featured a home in Burnaby where VREC installed a photovoltaic (solar energy) system.
As part of our commitment to educating the next generation about renewable energy, VREC was proud to be part of an installation at an elementary school in Vancouver. Admiral Seymour Elementary School installed a 2.4 kW grid-tie system on the roof of its east building. It was the first photovoltaic installation on a school in […]
We often have people contact us who are interested in taking their home or commercial building “off the grid.” Taking a building completely off the grid can be difficult and expensive. A more realistic target is a “net-zero” building. This type of building is still connected to the grid but produces as much power as […]
VREC helped facilitate the installation of the first solar photovoltaic (electric) grid-tie system in the city of New Westminster. Most of BC is serviced by BC Hydro. BC Hydro has allowed solar photovoltaic connections to its grid for seven years now. But the City of New Westminster has it’s own utility which did not have […]
