The Osprey team installed a solar panel system. We had 5 quotes and Osprey was by far the most professional provider. They provided referece addresses for us to check what it would look like on our roof. Richard Wayte was very knowledgeble and helped us to select the proper configuration and provided information about incentives from BC Hydro and the Federal Government loan program. The installation was very professional and did a great job. We highly recommend Osprey Electric!

Attention was paid to every detail and I'm very satisfied with the results. I am happy to recommend Osprey Electric based upon my experience with them.
