About Aurum Solar
Locally owned. Professionally installed. Built for long-term performance.
Aurum Solar is a Vancouver Island solar company based in the Comox Valley, focused on designing and installing solar systems that are both a sustainability upgrade and a smart long-term investment. We approach every project with a practical mindset: thoughtful system design, proven equipment, clean installation practices, and clear communication throughout the process.
Whether it’s a home looking to offset electricity costs or a business planning for long-term energy stability, our goal is the same—deliver a solar system that performs reliably for years, not just on day one.
Designed Around Your Property and Energy Use
Solar systems that fit the building, the budget, and the long-term plan.
No two properties use energy the same way. That’s why we design each system around real-world inputs: your BC Hydro usage patterns, your roof or installation surface, shading, electrical infrastructure, and your future plans (like batteries, EVs, or business growth).
From grid-tied microinverter systems to hybrid configurations and battery storage, Aurum Solar delivers solutions that are tailored, code-compliant, and built to last.
