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.

BC Hydro's new net-metering program has created an unprecedented opportunity for ordinary people to become producers of clean environmentally friendly power. This course introduces participants to the different types of systems that can be installed under the net-metering program including solar photovoltaic, wind and micro-hydro. It looks at the major components of each system as well as the economics of renewable energy in B.C.
