WHAT IF YOUR NEXT BC HYDRO BILL WAS JUST $1?!

Sounds too good to be true?

We have the REAL customer, the REAL Hydro bill, and a link to a VIDEO to prove it!

Fall is here on Vancouver Island, and while the leaves are falling, Hydro bills are about to start climbing!

BUT WHAT IF YOURS DIDN'T HAVE TO?

MYTH-BUSTING MONDAY: "Solar can't pay for all of my BCHydro bills in the fall and winter, can it?"

MYTH BUSTED!

In this week's Myth-Busting Monday video, we're tackling one of the biggest misconceptions about solar energy: that it won't make much of a difference to your electricity costs.

The truth? A properly designed solar system can make an ENORMOUS difference!

In fact, one of our customers received an actual $1 BC Hydro bill! And some of our customers have gone solar and never paid another Hydro bill again!

After 17 YEARS of designing and installing solar systems on Vancouver Island, we know that the secret is designing a system around your actual electricity consumption and expected ANNUAL solar production — not just the sunny summer months.

Of course, every home and business is different, and not everyone will see a $1 bill. But the potential savings can be significant!

WATCH OUR NEW MYTH-BUSTING MONDAY VIDEO!

AND WANT TO KNOW WHO RECEIVED THAT INCREDIBLE $1 HYDRO BILL?

His name is Bruce Bjornson, from Willow Point in Campbell River!

We previously sat down with Bruce for a separate customer testimonial interview, where he talks about his solar installation with Small Planet Energy, shares his experience, and actually SHOWS his $1 BC Hydro bill!

NOW WE WANT TO KNOW…

If you could dramatically reduce your Hydro bill, would you consider going solar?

YES, NO, or TELL ME MORE?

First steps in choosing a solar installer.
Who to choose?
What to consider?

When homeowners and businesses begin comparing solar estimates, one of the first things they naturally look at is the price. They should. Solar is a significant investment, and nobody should pay more than they need to. But after 17 years of designing and installing solar systems on Vancouver Island,...

ARE BATTERIES BECOMING THE NEW NORMAL?

This caught our attention:

37% of new residential solar systems installed in the U.S. in 2025 were paired with battery storage — up from 25% the year before.

That’s a U.S. statistic, but we’re curious what Vancouver Island thinks.

As we head into another West Coast winter — with windstorms and power outages always a possibility — we’re seeing more homeowners and businesses asking about battery backup.

And we understand why.

A properly designed battery system will keep the important things running when the grid goes down. It can be paired with a new solar system, added to an existing solar installations, or installed without solar at all.

After 17 years of designing solar, battery and off-grid power systems on Vancouver Island, we’ve watched the technology change enormously. Battery storage is quickly becoming a much bigger part of the conversation.

So we want to hear from YOU:

Do you already have battery backup? Would you do it again?

If you don’t have batteries yet, are you considering them?

And the big question — what would you want to keep running when the power goes out?

Let us know in the comments. We’d love to hear what Vancouver Islanders think.

There’s no better advertising than a happy customer.

We’ve been doing exactly that here on Vancouver Island since 2009.
For 17 years, homeowners and businesses have trusted Small Planet Energy to design and install their renewable energy systems — and testimonials like this mean a great deal to our entire team.

MYTH-BUSTING MONDAY: “Solar panels are too heavy for my roof!”

We've heard this one a time or two.

The truth? Solar panels typically add only about 3–4 lbs per square foot to your roof.

So if you’ve been wondering whether your roof can handle solar — WATCH THIS.

And when it comes to something being installed on your home or business for the next 25–30+ years, local experience matters.

Small Planet Energy has been designing and installing solar on Vancouver Island for 17 YEARS — making us Vancouver Island’s longest-standing solar company.

No door-to-door sales.
No high-pressure pitch.
Just experienced, local professionals who will tell you whether solar makes sense for your home or business.

“If you are considering solar, Small Planet Energy is who you want to work with.”

Well… that absolutely made our day.

A HUGE thank you to Deana for taking the time to share her experience with our team.

What we love most about this testimonial is that she talks about the things that really matter to us:

From that very first conversation and answering all the questions…

To taking care of the paperwork…

To having one of our experienced team members come out, look at the roof and talk through the options…

To our installation crew being polite, communicative and leaving the property clean at the end of each day…

And finally, having us there personally to walk through the system once everything was complete.

That’s how we believe solar SHOULD be done.

We’ve been installing solar on Vancouver Island for 17 years, and we’re incredibly proud to still be locally owned and operated right here in Campbell River.

We live here. We work here. We raise our families here. We give back here.

And when you choose Small Planet Energy, you’re working with a local team that plans to be here for the long haul.

Thank you, Deana, for trusting us with your home—and especially for recognizing our involvement in the Campbell River community. That means more to us than you know.

We would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to give you a FREE estimate and show you what solar could look like for your home or business.

We love seeing our work shared by the companies whose products we trust and install!

Fast-Rack is one of the solar racking brands we use at Small Planet Energy Inc. — the system that securely attaches and supports the solar panels on the roof. They have a great track record in the solar industry, and their racking comes with a 25-year warranty. When we’re designing systems that are intended to produce electricity for decades, the quality of what’s underneath the panels matters just as much as what you can see on top.

This particular project is our recently completed 139-panel, 84.8 kW solar installation on the new We Wai Kai - Cape Mudge First Nation Administrative Building on Quinsam Reserve, right here in Campbell River.

For this installation, our team used the Fast-Rack Avenue system across this expansive rooftop, and we’re incredibly proud of the finished result.

After 17 years of designing and installing solar systems across Vancouver Island, we’ve learned how important it is to choose equipment from companies with strong products, solid warranties and a proven history in the solar industry. We want the systems we install today to be performing for our customers decades from now.

A big thank you to Fast-Rack for highlighting our work and also a big thank you to our Small Planet Energy crew who turn all of these components into a beautifully finished, professionally installed solar system.

Thanks for the feature, Fast-Rack. We’re proud to have your racking underneath our panels!

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY — THIS is why we love hearing from our customers.

We can tell you about our experience.
We can tell you about our workmanship.
We can tell you that we’ve been doing this for 17 years.

But hearing it from someone who actually trusted Small Planet Energy with their own solar project? That means so much more.

A HUGE thank you to Chris White of Gold River for taking the time to share his experience with our team.

One of the things we’re most proud of after all these years is that our work has taken us into communities all over Vancouver Island — including places like Gold River where having an experienced, local company that will actually come back when you need them matters.

For us, a solar installation isn’t just about the day we put the panels on the roof. It’s about designing it properly, installing it properly, standing behind our work and being here for our customers for the long haul.

Chris, thank you for trusting our little Campbell River team. Customers like you are the reason we get to keep doing what we love.

17 years.
Vancouver Island owned and operated.
And still here for our customers long after the installation is finished.

There really is only one Small Planet.
