NorthPoint is BC's outage backup expert. We design solar + battery systems around how your home actually uses power—so when the grid goes down, you don't.
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.
Offset daytime consumption, carry solar into the evening and reserve capacity for essential circuits during outages.
On-site generation and storage engineered around operating hours, electrical demand and capital planning.
Add storage to an existing solar system or start with backup power now and build toward solar later.
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.
Add battery storage now for outage resilience and time-of-use load shifting, even when rooftop solar is not part of the project.
Plan a dedicated home charging circuit around the vehicle, daily driving needs and the property’s available electrical capacity.
Prepare the electrical backbone for solar, storage and EV charging, including 100A-to-200A service upgrades where the site and utility requirements support it.
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.
Plan the full upgradeEvery region brings different roof geometry, weather, permitting and grid conditions. Site availability is confirmed during the initial assessment.
Homes, commercial roofs and strata properties across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
Solar, storage and resilience planning for coastal homes and businesses.
Project-by-project EPC support for properties beyond the coast, subject to site and utility review.

solar projects completed by the NorthPoint team.
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.
Engineer: review electrical usage, site constraints, system architecture and backup priorities.
Procure: match equipment to the design, warranty requirements and long-term service plan.
Construct: coordinate installation, interconnection and commissioning as one delivery process.
Start with the night the power goes out: the sump pump stops, the well pump stops, the freezer starts to warm. A NorthPoint system is sized first around the loads that protect your home — the bill savings follow.
Sump and well pumps, refrigeration, heating controls, internet and security stay powered through an overnight outage.
Provincial rebate programs exist for solar and battery storage; amounts and eligibility vary by program and installer. See BC Hydro's rebate information for current details.
One outage is all it takes. A winter storm cuts power for 14 hours. Without backup, the sump pump sits idle — by morning the basement has taken water: flooring, drywall, furnace repairs. With a NorthPoint battery, the pump never stops.
Where outages are routine, not rare. Keep the well pump, septic, heat and communications running when the grid goes down for hours or days.
Finished basements, wine cellars, home offices, medical equipment. A single basement flood can cost more than the battery that would have prevented it.
Planning figures use $2.50/W installed solar and about $1,150/kWh installed battery. Provincial rebate programs may reduce the net cost; amounts and eligibility vary by program. Figures are illustrative; final quote follows a site assessment.
Clear decision points keep technical work visible and the project moving.
Bill review, backup priorities, roof and electrical screening.
System sizing, equipment architecture and project economics.
Permitting, procurement, installation and utility coordination.
System testing, monitoring setup and owner handover.
Two field notes from real NorthPoint job sites, shared with the customers’ permission — names withheld.
When the system was done, the homeowner was so pleased they insisted on tipping us — we politely declined. Doing the job right is the job.
— From a real NorthPoint job siteAnother customer invited all their neighbours over to watch the full storage install. The job site is the best advertisement there is.
— From a real NorthPoint job siteProduction assumptions, equipment choices and backup limits are explained before a contract is signed.
Scheduling, safety, weather protection and cleanup are part of the delivery plan—not afterthoughts.
Commissioning ends with monitoring access, an owner walkthrough and a clear support path.
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.
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.
Provincial rebate programs may apply to residential solar and battery storage; amounts and eligibility vary by program. 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.
The model is end-to-end EPC: engineering, equipment procurement, construction coordination, interconnection and commissioning are managed as one delivery process.
