From the initial consultation to permitting to installation and finally solar generation, every step was seamless. We would not hesitate to recommend Prisym [Netzero Solar Inc.] Renewable Developments to anyone thinking about installing a net-zero consumption system to improve their home.

I was so pleased with Prisym’s [Netzero Solar Inc.] expertise, knowledge and speed that the system went up. The results so far this year have been perfect. The solar panels have knocked a big hole in our hydro bill.

From the initial assessment of our home for a solar installation to the point that our BC Hydro net-metering smart meter began running backwards (indicating that we are now delivering energy into the grid) this was a very positive experience.

Find quick answers to the most common questions about solar energy. Our FAQ section makes it easy to understand how solar works, what to expect, and how it can benefit your home or business.
We design every system to balance performance, durability, and long-term value. Our goal is to help you invest in the right-sized system based on your energy needs, roof structure, and future plans — not to oversell capacity.
A range of federal, provincial, and utility incentive programs may be available to help reduce upfront costs, depending on your location and system design.
We also work with trusted financial partners who can help evaluate financing options and structure plans tailored to your budget and goals, making solar more accessible without compromising system quality.
Yes. Through BC Hydro’s Net Metering program, excess electricity your solar system produces is sent back to the grid and credited to your account. These credits are automatically applied to offset the electricity you draw from the grid at other times.
You are billed only for your net electricity use over the year — meaning production and consumption are balanced on an annual basis. This allows you to effectively “bank” summer solar generation and use it during winter months.
BC Hydro’s program is designed for offsetting your own usage rather than operating as a commercial power producer, so compensation is provided in the form of bill credits rather than traditional income.
Not at all. Modern solar panels are built to last and require very little upkeep—usually just the occasional cleaning to remove dust or debris. They’re engineered to handle tough weather conditions, including heavy snow, wind, and hail. Plus, with strong warranties that cover both performance and manufacturing, solar panels are a durable, low-maintenance energy solution you can count on for decades.
Thanks to modern mounting technology, solar panels can be installed on many different roof types. While some roofs may need specialized mounting systems, most homes are well-suited for solar. In many cases, it’s simply about choosing the right installation method to make solar a safe and effective option for your roof.
Solar panels don’t produce electricity at night or when they’re completely covered in snow. However, with a grid-tied system, your energy needs are balanced automatically—drawing from the grid when solar output is low and sending excess energy back when production is high. Seasonal changes, like shorter winter days, are factored into your system’s annual energy estimates to ensure reliable year-round performance.
