Riverside Energy Systems - Kamloops, British Columbia

We had Riverside Energy Systems install a 26 panel solar grid on our roof, I have to say that the whole experience from the first phone call I made was outstanding. Lee McKinnon, was the sales rep that I talked to, and let him know our families requirements, within a short period of time after I received an email with all the info to get started. After we decided to go ahead with the project they scheduled our installation within two weeks. Wow, super fast, and they helped with every thing we needed to do. The installation crew were incredible, took extremely good care working on our house, and in the attic. for the wiring. They were very fast and efficient, obviously because of their expertise and experience doing these installs, and were done in less than two days, up and running. The system comes with an app to monitor what all solar panels are doing individually, and collectively, it is awesome, and we are really saving on our Hydro. We will, and have recommended Riverside Energy Systems, for their quality of work, friendly attitude and knowledge of solar energy systems.

I did a thorough investigation for solar companies. I took my time and listened to each one. In the end it was Riverside that I felt completely comfortable with.
Everything they did was so professional and looked after all my needs, plus lots of things I would have had no idea about.
When the crew came to do the instillation they were also so professional and I couldn’t believe their work ethic. So clean and neat, they hardly took any breaks and were truly there to get the job done.
I highly recommend this company.

From introduction to planning to coordination and installation, Riverside Energy knocked it out of the park on our solar system. They worked with us to find the system that made the most sense for us, and took care of every little detail along the way. Sean and Andrew gave us all the information we needed to make an informed decision. Amber was in communication constantly with updates and information on the BCHydro application process, and scheduling updates along the way. Gerrit and Chris and the rest of the team were willing to work with our schedules to reduce downtime and got the system installed in a week! We hardly knew they were here!

I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend Riverside for anyone considering a solar system for their home or business. Their professionalism and expertise, combined with the obvious benefits of solar power generation, made this an easy choice.

GREAT JOB, TEAM!

We are so extremely pleased with the experience we had from start to finish when Riverside Energy Systems installed our Solar Panels. The whole team made the process seamless from providing a quote, informing us about all the details of the process, setting us up with the pre-audit, doing the installation, setting up the post-audit and providing the support we needed to request both the Greener Homes loan as well as the grant from BC Hydro. They communicated clearly all the way through, responded quickly to any inquiry, booked the installation at a time that work best for us. This is a very well-organized company with polite, efficient staff.

What a great company to work with!
When we considered adding solar power to our house, we obtained several quotes. Riverside Energy Systems stood out from the other companies because of its numerous reviews and competitive pricing and word of mouth.
The design was tailored to our House. One of the first questions asked to us was how old our Roof was. Riverside Solar does not believe in the installation with a roof that needs upgrading within 5 years minimum. This Company could take advantage of these situations but there honesty and integrity in asking Homeowners this sets them apart from the competition.
Shawn, Lee, Amber (Office Personal) and the installation crew were knowledgeable, professional, and efficient, not to mention easy to work with! Everything progressed according to schedule with BC Hydro responsible for the only delay in going online, as we required their sign-off to tie our net-metering system to their grid.
The installation is performing excellently.
Other Company's may be cheaper in price to pursued your business, but the level of respect, professionalism, integrity, and attention to detail separates this Company from others. We not only took advantage of the first Provincial Rebate in 2021 but also the BC Hydro one out now and both times in dealing with Riverside Solar Systems has set them apart.

Anyone considering solar power should definitely contact this company. We would unhesitatingly recommend them!
Thank you, Riverside Solar Systems!

I am late writing this review, six months since we had our solar panels installed. I was reminded to do this review when I received a yearly summary of my energy from BC Hydro. In the last year we have reduced our energy consumption by 37% and we only got our solar panels added to the grid at the beginning of February, just shy of six months ago. We can't wait to compare a full year of usage! Thank you to Riverside Energy Systems. If there were 6 stars we would give them to this great company. From start to finish, the employees of Riverside walked us through the process, helping with the government loan, BC Hydro and the installation itself. Flawless! We highly recommend Riverside and wish everyone would take advantage of the government incentives while they last.

Riverside did a fantastic job. They were quick to respond to my many questions, helped me through the provincial and federal incentive programs, and they finished early and below their original quote price. From sales , to office support, to install crew, they were on time (actually early) and professional.

One of my panels had a manufacturers defect that showed itself a few weeks after install, they noticed it before I did and contacted me. It was replaced within the week.

Riverside do professional detail oriented work, they support their clients in claiming incentives, they are responsive, and they stand behind their products/installs. I recommend them wholehearted.

Just got some solar installed on our roof and the team at Riverside were great! From the staff in the office to the staff doing the install, they were all amazing the whole way. They explained everything in great detail while we were looking at the options with them about the solar set-up and answered any questions we had. Then once the team came to install, they were quick, clean and efficient.
