Viridian Energy Co-operative

We had a great experience getting solar panels installed with Viridian. They are professional, top quality, fairly priced, and worker-owned. Highly recommended.

Thank you Viridian! We are delighted with the results and with your service. The Viridian crew was friendly, helpful, and informative from the time of our initial inquiry to post-install. Being able to monitor green power production from our rooftop with a quick glance at my smart phone is an added bonus!

Viridian installed a solar electricity system on our roof in Oct. 2022. It is working very well. Their communications, work of installation and competitive rates make me pleased to recommend them to anyone.

We were very pleased with the installation of solar panels on our roof by Viridian. The process was smooth from concept and planning through to installation of panels, electrical connections and arranging net metering with BC Hydro. We received exactly what was proposed with delivery by very capable, professional and pleasant Viridian staff. A very good experience from our perspective and we are pleased that we are now generating power from our very difficult roof (1911 house with gables) and sometimes sending power back to the grid and receiving credit for it. Well done, Viridian.

We recently had a solar install from Viridian and are very happy with the results. They were quick to respond, had a competitive quote and we liked the fact that they’re an employee-owned co-op. Their estimate for the timeframe was accurate, and when it came time for the install they were professional and did a great job, including finding an ingenious way to route the wiring so that it is barely visible from the ground. I’d happily recommend them to anyone else looking at a solar install.

We were pleased with each phase of Viridian's work with us from sales to the final installation. They were kind, considerate, and competent.

I had a 12.4 kw/33 panel install on the roof of my house and Viridian was great through the whole process. Very informative in helping us to learn what it all entails and no pushy sales pitch – they gave the info and data and let that speak for itself. We were back and forth for several months, asking about roof mount, ground mount, and many other questions and they patiently answered every single one, and we never felt pressured the entire time. We finally decided to do it, and they were able to complete it all in one day. Their crew was friendly and respectful, keeping it clean and tidying up well afterwards.
I’ve had it for almost a few months now, and on a mostly Sunny mid-May day I’m producing 80 kw in a day – that’s enough to fully charge my electric car and completely power the house and still bank a good portion of that energy with BC Hydro to get back in the colder winter months.
I have not had my first hydro bill since the install yet, but I’m expecting it to be almost nothing. Looking at the cost to put this in and the amount of money I will save on electricity, it will work out to be comparable to about an 8-10% return on investment every single year – one of the best investments you can make.
