Solar energy is swiftly becoming one of the most widely used renewable energy sources around the world. A Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system uses specialized panels that capture the sun’s energy and convert it to electricity that can be used to power almost anything. As the cost of solar continues to drop throughout North America, more households and businesses are making the switch to renewable solar energy.
With solar energy powering your residential or commercial property, you will promptly see a drop in cost of your monthly electricity bill due to the free energy generated by the sun. Between the amount of money you save on your hydro bill, as well as rebates you can receive by selling power back into the utility grid, you can actually earn money over time. However, as solar technology advances and its popularity grows, these incentives will gradually be scaled back, making now the perfect time to invest in a renewable energy system and see a return on your investment.
A solar PV system works by using solar cells that absorb energy generated by the sun. The cells are interconnected on a panel or array that varies in size depending on energy demand of the application. The solar panels are then connected to an inverter, which takes the direct current (DC) power generated by the sun, then converts that power into alternating current (AC) where it is then used to power your home or commercial property.
A 2018 Kelowna study also shows that your home’s property value increases by $6,000 for every 1kW of solar installed.
All equipment installed by Streamline Renewables is warranted for 25 years, with the life expectancy of the solar system estimated to be 35 years.
Unless an object is blocking sunlight from reaching your solar PV system, it is highly unlikely that you will have to clean or perform any upkeep on your solar system. Maintenance should always be minimal regardless of the installation location of your solar panels.

Andrew Kennedy
Lead Designer
Andrew used his natural skills and completed a Mechanical Engineering Technology diploma at Camosun College. He then started his mechanical engineering career in the marine industry with Babcock Canada where he completed and managed full engineering designs for Canada’s Victoria Class Submarines.
Andrew found himself wanting more and left his career with Babcock Canada to travel and further his education. He completed his Bachelors of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Portsmouth.
Andrew is thrilled by the opportunity to join Streamline Renewables and create an efficient and well managed design / project management process from the ground up.
James Kennedy
Site Manager
James has always been drawn to the ocean and is an experienced boatman. He is thrilled to be a partner in Streamline Renewables and looks forward to commuting back and forth to remote locations, to create ingenious solutions for his client’s power needs.
When James isn’t curating creative solutions and installing vacuums or solar panels, he can be found enjoying the beaches and trails with his wife and three kids.
Will Brooke
Solar Specialist
Will and his family love adventuring and have slowly been building their ideal 4×4 overlanding rig. Will grew up sailing, building and repairing boats, and sees the overlanding trend as just “cruising on land.”
Their R50 Nissan Pathfinder “Finn” currently enjoys a 1000W sinewave inverter, 385W of solar on a Victron Smart MPPT, and a 2.4kWh (1.8kWh usable) “house” battery bank, with DC breaker based protection for all equipment. Will is excited about the new avenue of family experiences that will come forth once the overlanding build is completed.
