Learn moreWhy Vital Energy
We got into solar by fixing the installs that failed
Cameron Dick started Vital Energy in 2015 as a small team of electricians. Years of call-outs to failed solar systems taught us exactly what cheap products and rushed installs cost homeowners. So we only fit gear we would put on our own roofs, and we stand behind the work for ten years.
Premium gear only
Enphase, SunPower, Schletter, EVNEX, FranklinWH, Sigenergy. Warranties from 10 to 30 years.
Our own electricians
Master Electricians members and EWRB registered. No subcontracted install crews.
No sales pressure
Clear advice, no middleman markup, no hidden extras. If solar does not stack up for you, we will say so.

Monitoring, maintenance and the same phone number for the life of your system.
