Commercial Solar Installation Case Study | XPRT Integration | BC Hydro Rebates & Solar Tax Credit

Project Overview:

XPRT Integration, a leader in cutting-edge technology solutions, has successfully reduced its electricity costs with a 50.73 kW commercial solar system installed at its warehouse and office in Vancouver. This solar array was designed to offset a significant portion of their BC Hydro energy usage, resulting in lower utility bills and a greener energy footprint.

By utilizing BC Hydro's commercial solar rebates and the 30% Solar Tax Credit, XPRT Integration has made a powerful commitment to renewable energy while cutting down on upfront costs. This installation not only offers long-term energy savings but also helps to reduce the company’s carbon footprint by harnessing clean, sustainable energy from the sun.

System Components

Solar Panels:

• Quantity & Wattage: 114x Canadian Solar 445W Bi-facial 144-cell monocrystalline solar panels

• Brand & Model: Canadian Solar CS3W-445MB-AG modules, designed for high efficiency and durability

• Panel Arrangement: Panels are installed south-facing to maximize energy capture throughout the day, optimizing sunlight exposure for maximum energy production.

Inverter System:

• Central Inverter: 1x Solaredge Synergy 3-phase SE43.2K-US (43.2KW) commercial solar inverter

• Power Optimizers: 57x Solaredge P950 Worldwide Power Optimizers to ensure optimal performance for each individual panel, mitigating shading issues and maximizing energy output.

Racking System:

• Brand & Model: Unirac Equilibrium Ecofoot+ flat-roof self-ballasted ballast tray system, with 28 penetrations for seismic compliance, ensuring stability and reliability under Vancouver’s weather conditions.

Monitoring & Warranties:

• Real-Time Monitoring: Integrated web-based monitoring and smartphone app included for real-time tracking of energy production, savings, and system performance.

• Warranties:

  • 25 years on solar panels

  • 12 years on inverters

  • 25 years on optimizers

  • 20 years on racking system

  • 10 years on workmanship

BC Hydro Net Metering

This system qualifies for BC Hydro’s Net Metering Program, allowing XPRT Integration to receive 10 cents per kWh for any excess energy generated by the solar system and exported back to the grid. This additional credit will further help offset the company’s energy costs and contribute to the province’s clean energy goals.

BC Hydro Commercial Solar Rebates

XPRT Integration also took advantage of BC Hydro’s commercial solar rebate program, which provides significant financial support for installing renewable energy systems. The rebates significantly reduce the upfront cost of installing this solar power system, making it more affordable for businesses to adopt sustainable energy solutions.

30% Solar Tax Credit

In addition to BC Hydro’s incentives, XPRT Integration qualified for the 30% Solar Tax Credit, a federal tax incentive that allows businesses to deduct 30% of the total cost of their solar system (including installation) from their federal taxes. This tax credit helped further reduce the initial investment, making solar energy more financially accessible for XPRT Integration.

Ideal Commercial Applications for Solar Tax Credit:

The 30% Solar Tax Credit applies to a wide variety of commercial properties, including:

• Warehouses

• Office buildings

• Factories

• Shopping centers

• Restaurants

• Hotels

• Hospitals

• Schools

• Community centers

How Vancouver Solar & Electrical Helped:

Vancouver Solar & Electrical played an integral role in the successful installation of this solar power system, working closely with XPRT Integration to design, install, and commission a system that meets their unique energy needs. We guided XPRT Integration through the process of applying for both BC Hydro rebates and the 30% Solar Tax Credit, helping them maximize financial incentives while ensuring long-term system performance.
