West coast, planned trips
Ucluelet/Tofino
Storm Resilience Electric plans west-coast trips to cover both towns. Both towns are exposed to countless annual storms that create power outages; a properly designed system gives you and your home peace of mind and resilience to weather the harshest of storms.
Getting there
As homeowners in Ucluelet, trips are frequently made to the Pacific Rim. Most of our sourced equipment comes from Vancouver Island, so a properly pre-planned install can happen no differently than in Powell River. Equipment can be stocked in the van, or larger systems can be shipped by flat deck truck. Most design work can happen before the first visit.
Storms, outages, and the harbour
Outages during a winter storm can last for days, and the crews fixing them must navigate the same fallen trees you do. A home battery, recharged by solar when the sun is out, is the most reliable way to keep a house or a rental running through an outage.
A mix of older harbour-side homes, newer subdivisions, and many rental and guest accommodations. Solar and battery backup for homes and rentals are the most common requests.
- 01Battery backupStored power sized for a multi-day outage: heat, fridge, water, internet.
- 02Solar with storageAn array that recharges the battery while the grid is out and cuts the bill when it is on.

Work that comes up most here
Outside Powell River, Storm Resilience Electric takes on larger solar and battery jobs that are worth the trip.

How is travel handled for a west-coast job?
Travel is written into the quote for that project before anything starts. Nothing on this site is a price.
Can you handle a project for a vacation rental?
Yes. Photos, a plan, and a contact on the coast who can open the door are enough to get started.
Does solar even work on the west coast?
Yes, a properly designed system can produce enough to weather any storm. With quite a few off-grid, full-time residences in the area that run on nothing but the sun's energy!
