Match the system to your energy use Start with the load, then size the panels

A better system begins with what you use, when you use it, and what needs to stay powered. We size generation, storage and controls as one operating system.

01 / RESIDENTIAL

Home solar + backup

Offset daytime consumption, carry solar into the evening and reserve capacity for essential circuits during outages.

Daytime loadsSolar first
Evening useBattery next
OutageBackup reserve
02 / COMMERCIAL

Commercial energy systems

On-site generation and storage engineered around operating hours, electrical demand and capital planning.

  • Load-profile analysis
  • Solar + storage EPC
  • Clean Technology ITC planning support*
03 / STORAGE

Battery-first retrofits

Add storage to an existing solar system or start with backup power now and build toward solar later.

  • Critical-load design
  • Existing-system review
  • Monitoring and commissioning
Around the solar system

One home energy upgrade,planned together

Solar stays at the centre. NorthPoint can also design the battery, EV charging and electrical capacity around it—either as standalone work or as one coordinated project.

01 / STANDALONE STORAGE

Battery backup without solar

Add battery storage now for outage resilience and time-of-use load shifting, even when rooftop solar is not part of the project.

  • Critical-load and runtime planning
  • Peak-demand and time-of-use strategy
  • Solar-ready design for a future phase
02 / EV CHARGING

Home EV charger installation

Plan a dedicated home charging circuit around the vehicle, daily driving needs and the property’s available electrical capacity.

  • Load and panel-capacity review
  • Charger circuit and installation planning
  • Coordination with solar and battery controls
03 / ELECTRICAL UPGRADES

Panel and service upgrades

Prepare the electrical backbone for solar, storage and EV charging, including 100A-to-200A service upgrades where the site and utility requirements support it.

  • Main-panel and service assessment
  • Capacity planning for new electric loads
  • Coordination with permits and utility work
Better planned as one project

Bundling these upgrades with solar can reduce duplicate design work, site visits and electrical rework—often making the overall project more efficient and cost-effective.

About NorthPoint

EPC discipline, from first model to final switch-on

Our team brings completed-project experience into a focused BC solar and storage company. One plan connects the engineering decisions, equipment selection, construction details and commissioning work.

01

Engineer: review electrical usage, site constraints, system architecture and backup priorities.

02

Procure: match equipment to the design, warranty requirements and long-term service plan.

03

Construct: coordinate installation, interconnection and commissioning as one delivery process.

Early-stage estimator

Start with a right-sized range

Use your monthly electricity bill and property profile to create a practical conversation starter—not a sales promise.

Your planning range

Suggested solar size8–10 kW
Battery starting point10 kWh
Annual production range7.6–11 MWh
Potential BC Hydro rebatesUp to $10k
Illustrative net project cost$42k–$56k
Simple payback illustration18–24 yr

Planning assumptions: $0.14/kWh average effective energy cost, 950–1,100 kWh annual production per installed kW, $3/W solar, $1,000/kWh battery, and 75% of the current bill offset. Residential rebate illustration shows up to $5,000 for solar plus up to $5,000 for battery storage; eligibility, program availability, equipment, HPCN installer rules, actual costs and savings must be verified. Commercial projects are assessed for the federal Clean Technology ITC separately. Snapshot: October 2026.

The NorthPoint process

Four steps. One accountable team

Clear decision points keep technical work visible and the project moving.

01

Discover

Bill review, backup priorities, roof and electrical screening.

02

Engineer

System sizing, equipment architecture and project economics.

03

Build

Permitting, procurement, installation and utility coordination.

04

Commission

System testing, monitoring setup and owner handover.

Customer experience

What good delivery should feel like

Verified customer reviews can be added here as NorthPoint collects permission to publish them. Until then, the standard is explicit.

01

A proposal you can interrogate

Production assumptions, equipment choices and backup limits are explained before a contract is signed.

02

A site treated like a jobsite

Scheduling, safety, weather protection and cleanup are part of the delivery plan—not afterthoughts.

03

A system you know how to use

Commissioning ends with monitoring access, an owner walkthrough and a clear support path.

Practical answers

Before you put panelson the roof

Does solar work through a BC winter?

Yes, but annual production is seasonal. A sound design models the full year, accounts for roof orientation and shading, and avoids promising summer output in December.

Why add a battery if the grid is available?

A battery can carry daytime solar into the evening, support selected loads during outages and reduce how much excess generation leaves the property at the fixed export-credit rate.

What incentives may apply?

Qualifying BC Hydro residential customers may be eligible for up to $5,000 for solar and an additional $5,000 for battery storage. Taxable Canadian corporations may be eligible for a 30% federal Clean Technology ITC on qualifying property, subject to rules and labour requirements. Eligibility is verified for each project.

Does NorthPoint handle the whole project?

The model is end-to-end EPC: engineering, equipment procurement, construction coordination, interconnection and commissioning are managed as one delivery process.
