Princess and the Pea B&B
21628 48 Ave Langley BC
On May 26 2008 we installed a photovoltaic system (solar panels that make electricity) at our B&B in Langley BC The B&B is a historic building now 121 years old. The system we installed has 10 panels and the electricity we make goes back to BC Hydro (they pay us for it). Every time I see our electric meter turning backwards I pinch myself in disbelief.
You can read more about our solar system at http://www.bchydro.com/powersmart/news/article57188.html
