This fall, we're reminding clients about our referral program, a simple way to say thanks for spreading the word.

Refer someone, and if they complete a home solar project, you'll get $500 cash back. They'll get $500 off too.

Give $500, get $500.

Many homeowners may qualify for rebates on solar and battery storage with BC Hydro.

This Passive House homeowner is committed to a zero-carbon lifestyle. A Passive House is a strict, international building standard focused on ultra-low energy use, high comfort, and a small carbon footprint. This home uses about 90% less energy for heating and cooling than a traditional home.

Add in an 8 kW ground-mount solar system positioned due south, and this mass timber home has been net-positive since March — exporting 20–30 kWh back to the grid every day.

This is the second project we've completed for this homeowner and we couldn't be happier with the results.

BC just banned door-to-door solar sales, a change we welcome.

A decision this size is not for the doorstep. It calls for a real look at your home, your energy usage and the numbers — not a quick pitch.

That's always been our approach at Hakai Energy: straight answers, honest sizing, zero pressure to sign before you're ready.

New Project: Qualicum Beach Lawn Bowling Club

The Qualicum Beach Lawn Bowling Club has installed 40 solar panels and 18 kWh of battery storage, making it one of the first community recreation clubs on Vancouver Island to invest in clean energy independence. Hakai Energy Solutions, a SkyFire Energy Company, designed and installed the full system, including battery storage to keep the lights on during winter outages.

On the engagement, Hakai founder, Jason Jackson, noted, "Qualicum Beach Lawn Bowling Club is setting an example for clubs and organizations across Vancouver Island that clean, local energy is a smart investment in the future of their community."

This is the kind of project we love being part of: practical, community-driven and built to last.

BC Hydro Is Changing Net Metering. Here's What It Means for You.

Effective July 1, 2026, BC Hydro is transitioning to a new self-generation service rate (also known as net billing) for customers receiving solar rebates and all new solar customers.

While exported solar energy will now earn a flat credit of 10¢/kWh, the value of using your own solar power remains unchanged. Solar remains a strong long-term investment that can reduce energy costs, provide protection against future rate increases, and generate clean electricity for 25+ years.

We're breaking down:
- What's changing
- How net billing differs from net metering
- The impact on solar payback periods
- Ways to maximize your savings
- Whether battery storage makes sense for your home

Understanding these changes is an important part of planning your energy future.

Do you know a non-profit in our community that’s making a difference?

Hakai Energy Solutions, a SkyFire Energy company, is looking for the next non-profit organization on to receive a custom designed, fully donated solar system.

The idea is simple: when non-profits spend less on operating costs, they can invest more in the people and causes they exist to serve. Solar doesn't just power buildings, it powers purpose.

Non-profits can self-nominate or be put forward by someone in their community.

If you know an organization whose purpose deserves to be powered, you have until May 31 to give them a boost.

Powering Sustainability at the University of Victoria

The University of Victoria is taking another major step toward sustainability with a solar installation at the Engineering and Computer Science Building (ECS) and its expansion, along with a future system planned for the new High Bay Research and Structures Lab (HBRSL), which is currently under construction.

Hakai Energy Solutions has completed the installation of 177 high-efficiency solar modules on the Engineering and Computer Science Building. This system will generate clean electricity to support the university’s campus energy strategy, reduce operational costs, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Looking ahead, we will be installing an additional ~225 kW DC capacity on the ECS Expansion & High Bay Research and Structures Lab once construction is complete. This additional solar includes a BIPV canopy on the ECS Expansion and a vertical façade solar installation on the High Bay facility.

Beyond clean energy generation, the project also serves as a hands-on educational resource. Students have opportunities to observe and analyze system performance, gaining practical insights into renewable energy systems, energy efficiency, and sustainability in action. The installation helps transform campus infrastructure into a living laboratory for applied learning.

Benefits of the UVic Solar Project

◆Sustainable Impact – Supports the university’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing climate action.

◆ Reduced Energy Costs – Lowers electricity expenses and contributes to long-term operational savings.

◆ Educational Opportunities – Provides students with real-world experience in renewable energy applications and energy monitoring.

This project is part of UVic’s broader commitment to integrating sustainable practices across campus infrastructure and serves as a model for clean energy adoption within educational institutions.

At Hakai Energy Solutions, we are proud to support initiatives like this, helping universities and communities across British Columbia transition toward a more sustainable, energy-efficient future.
