Oceanvolt Solar & EV’s Award-Winning Community Solar Project Advances Energy Independence on Thetis Island

Oceanvolt Solar & EV is helping power a more resilient future with a 40 kW solar installation at the Thetis Island Community Center in British Columbia—earning recognition as the APsystems Canada Non-Profit Project of the Year.

Designed to offset an estimated 95–100% of the site’s annual energy use, the system supports a vital community hub that serves as a gathering place, resource center, and key support location during local initiatives and emergencies.

To maximize performance in coastal conditions with variable light and shading, Oceanvolt selected APsystems DS3-L microinverters—enabling module-level optimization and consistent energy production across the array.

“The use of APsystems DS3-L microinverters was a key factor in the success of the Thetis Island 40 kW solar project,” said Marcus Downer of Oceanvolt Solar & EV. “Their high efficiency and dual-module design allowed us to maximize production while adapting to the site’s unique conditions.”
