Beautiful day for installing solar panels in #Sooke.

Check out this roof in Shirley, BC. This is a truly solar powered garage. 30 solar panels on a step roof, three stories up. Lot's of fun. It looks amazing!

We are proud to announce that the Shaw Community Gardens is now powered by solar energy! The installation has been a great community success in our partnership with Salt Spring Community Energy. The community gardens are on their way to be a model of sustainable, renewable energy-based food growing! Through Viridian Energy Co-operative's commitment to support communities by giving away 1% of net income to local projects, we have donated and installed a 3.1 kW (8 modules) s...olar power system at the Shaw Gardens on Saltspring Island. This solar farming community project is just one of the projects that VEC contributes to every year! Photo credits to Salt Spring Community Energy.

TODAY: Solar power on its way to community gardens, check out how Viridian Energy Co-operative is partnering with Salt Spring Community Energy to de-carbonize our food chain! Viridian Energy Co-operative is generously donating and installing a 3.1 kW (8 modules) solar power system at the Shaw Gardens on Saltspring Island today. This solar farming community project is just one of the projects VEC contributes to every year, proudly supporting communities by giving away 1% of t...heir net income to local projects. The Farmland Trust will manage the vehicle and electric tool charging. Imagine being able to cycle to the gardens, plug in your electric bike and electric tools to charge from solar energy, and then go about the business of creating sustainable, locally grown food. They are still looking for contributions to make this project a model of sustainable, renewable energy-based food growing. Would you like to learn more or contribute to the project?

Just finished the solar installation of a net zero home in the Fernwood area of Victoria, BC. After extensive modelling, Viridian worked with the Owners, Architects, Builder and Energy Manager to design a solar PV system that makes the house net zero for electricity. And from now on, the remainder of the construction will be solar powered!

Here's a quick look at our recent solar power system installation at the North End Fire Hall on Galiano Island with the North Galiano Volunteer Fire Department.
