We are still waiting for Shift to complete our installation 5 months into our 3 month project. Project management has been dismal from the day the deposit was made with absolutely no communication from Shift on details, progress, or timeline. It took them 2 months to apply for required permits and I…
About Shift Energy Group -
Used GETS Energy (Victoria BC) to conduct the Pre- and Post-Assessment Test. The Pre-assessment test was good, and the insulator followed the Pre-assessment recommendation to improve the air-leakage issue while doing the attic insulation. However, the Post-assessment was conducted for only a couple…
About GETS Energy -
Our project installation was completed last week. I was dreading a loud few days which would impact my home-based business, but they managed to work around my hours and it turned out not to be noisy at all! Greg and Curtis were both exceptional in advice, information and help, and hats off the crew,…

How this Victoria solar cost calculator works
This calculator sizes a solar system from your electricity use. Your monthly bill, divided by the average British Columbia electricity price, gives your yearly use; Victoria's sunshine (1,090 kWh per kW of panels a year) then gives the system size that covers it, adjusted for roof direction and shade. The installed price is that size multiplied by the price per watt homeowners in British Columbia pay installers. Payback compares that price with what the panels save at British Columbia power prices, assuming prices rise 3% a year.
British Columbia numbers this calculator uses
- Installed price
- $2.52–$3.17 per watt in British Columbia (CAD) (typical $2.85), before rebates. A typical 6 kW home system costs $15,100–$19,000.
- Sunshine
- 1,090 kWh of electricity per kW of panels a year in Victoria.
- Electricity price
- About 12.6¢ per kWh, the average residential price in British Columbia.
- Selling power back
- BC Hydro closed net metering to new customers on July 1, 2026. New systems join the self-generation rate, which credits exported power at 10¢/kWh.
- Rebates and tax credits
- BC Hydro pays $1,000 per kW, up to $5,000, for systems on the new self-generation rate installed by a qualifying contractor. Solar equipment is PST-exempt. There is no federal solar grant or loan open to homeowners in 2026: the Canada Greener Homes Grant closed to new applicants in 2024 and the Greener Homes Loan closed on October 1, 2025.
An estimate, not a quote. Roof size and pitch, shading, equipment, permits and the installer all change the final price; installers confirm it after a site visit.
