About Bearfoot Renewables
Bearfoot Renewables, founded in 2015 by Red Seal electrician Jeff, provides expert solar and battery‑powered grid‑tied and off‑grid renewable energy solutions across Vancouver Island.
Our Story
Since 2014, Bearfoot Renewables has been powering Vancouver Island with clean, reliable and cost‑effective solar energy solutions. What began as Jeff’s solo passion project—fueled by a deep commitment to sustainability and technical excellence—has grown into a trusted resource for homeowners, businesses, government agencies, NGOs, and environmental groups across the region.
Our Mission
To empower you with clean, reliable solar energy to power your projects. From a Grid tied system in the heart of the city, to a remote cabin in the wilderness to an underwater camera in the ocean, we can tailor your project to your needs.
Why We’re Different
-
Local Expertise: Born and based on Vancouver Island, we know regional weather patterns, BC Hydro rebate programs, permitting nuances, and the unique challenges of island living.
-
Red Seal Quality: Jeff, our sole installer and project manager, is a Red Seal licensed electrician with 23 years of professional experience—10 years dedicated to solar and 5 years in the wind turbine industry.
-
Personalized Service: With no middlemen or subcontractors, you get direct access to the installer. Jeff oversees each step—design, procurement, installation, commissioning and ongoing support—to ensure flawless execution.
-
Comprehensive Solutions: From grid‑tied systems that feed excess power back to the grid, to off‑grid battery setups for cabins and remote communications, we tailor each project to your energy goals.
