Riverside Energy Systems installed our solar panels in a timely, professional manner. They handled all the government requirements from start to finish, which is a bonus service, as it is very complicated and intimidating to the average home owner ! We definitely recommend them.

Riverside's knowledgeable team guided us effortlessly through the grant and loan processes. From intriguing drone shots to swift installation by three crews, they made it seamless. Their support even extended to navigating government paperwork. Now, our meter runs backward on sunny days, all thanks to Riverside's invaluable assistance!

We can’t say enough good about the Riverside crew right from the start of this whole process to the final installation. Efficient, extremely helpful right thru to the boys showing up to install the units. We recommend you to everyone that asks who did our installation. Thank you for a job well done

Riverside Energy Systems in Kamloops made our solar power journey seamless. From design to installation, they were attentive, ensuring a flawless setup without disrupting our space. Their assistance in securing a federal loan was invaluable, and their patience during the process was commendable. Highly recommended for anyone keen on solar power.

I have been working with Riverside Energy Systems since the winter of 2006. Paul coached me through the installation of my first 12 volt system by telephone with uncanny patience and good humour. In December of 2008, I lost my entire home in a house fire caused by thawing frozen pipes. The next day, I was astounded to find Paul on my snowy driveway, that awful winter day after the fire, with a complete 12 volt power system in his van. He stayed for that day and part of the next, utilizing my 2 solar panels which had survived the fire, setting me up beyond all expectations, with an efficient power system in a small cabin I have on my property.

Riverside Energy Systems has set up three off grid power systems for our family and we have been very impressed with their knowledge of the equipment that they sell, as well as their prompt and excellent installation of the equipment. In the seldom event of any problems, help was always available. We continue to enjoy the independence of living off the grid, using solar, wind, and a diesel generator to supply all of our power requirements. We recommend that anyone choosing this lifestyle should contact Riverside Energy Systems.

Riverside Energy was instrumental in our successful solar installation at our off-grid cabin on acreage near Golden, BC. In addition to supplying great products at competitive prices, the service is what sets Riverside Energy apart from others. Once we started the actual installation, Ben and Paul were always available to answer any questions we had. It was truly a full-service experience start-to-finish. We couldn't have done it without them!

We installed our micro hydro system in 2006. Riverside Energy advised us in all the preparation work and Paul Fletcher was on site to install the Pelton wheel. We are very satisfied with the system along with Riverside's advice, work and support. Riverside handles questions regarding maintenance, etc. quickly and in a professional manner. This is a company with passion, knowledge and reliability. We recommend Riverside Energy.

I have had the pleasure of Riverside Energy’s support for 14 years in my adventures with living off grid. Suffice to say I could not have succeeded or endured the learning curve and ever changing technological or load demands without their expertise and service. Doctors may have stopped doing house calls but not Riverside.

As prospective photovoltaic clients, we researched Riverside Energy online and in-person by visiting three of their installations. Impressed by what we saw, we proceeded with our order for a 6 Kw array in late summer 2012. Working with Ben and Paul has been a delight. Their knowledge, integrity, conscientiousness, work ethic, and downright pleasantness have led to an excellent experience. The panels arrived in timely fashion.

Riverside Energy Systems designed, specified, installed, and commissioned the rooftop and balcony handrail photovoltaic systems for the 2010 Green Dream Home, part of the CMHC EQuilibrium Initiative. The attention to detail, enthusiasm and commitment by the two partners was outstanding and contributed significantly to the success of the project. In addition to excellent performance, the company donated much of it's time as a high level sponsor so the finished home could be provided at a discounted price to the Kamloops YMCA/YWCA for their 2010 Dream Home Lottery.

We have been working with Riverside Energy since 2009. Riverside is well-prepared, thorough and are experts in their field. Their installations are very well completed and follow up is second-to-none. We chose solar PV because it works so well in BC as a grid-tied system, where the grid is the 'battery'. The solar PV builds up a credit in the summer allowing BC Hydro to maintain higher water levels in their dams and then draws down the power in the winter. Having solar PV also has increased our family's awareness of power consumption which we are steadily decreasing.

We looked at several potential companies but chose Riverside Energy to install our solar energy system and this was indeed a great choice. Riverside Energy has exceeded all our expectations. Ben Giudici was always available to answer questions and we had lots. He was in fact a patient teacher. We highly recommend Ben and Riverside Energy for any solar energy installation.

Johannes & Annette Oving

Annette and I would like to thank you and your crew for the excellent work you guys did designing and installing our solar system. Hooking up to the grid would have been too costly for us. Our project would not have been possible without the solar option and Riverside Energy delivered our power need supply economically and professionally. The system has already paid for itself if we compare how much Hydro wanted to run power into our property to the cost of our solar system.

The Smart Way to Power

With utility bills on the rise, switching to a solar system for renewable energy allows you to take control of your electricity.

Once your panels are installed, there is little to no maintenance. You’ll spend more time mowing the lawn.

Switching to solar gives you peace of mind. No more renting power and being at the mercy of the utility rate increases. Your solar panels let you own your power.
