Solar and backup power in
Qualicum Beach.
Standby power, solar arrays, and battery storage — coordinated so the house stays running, quietly, when conditions change.
An hour from a working demonstration of the platform.
Qualicum Beach has long been one of the more sought-after small-town addresses on Vancouver Island. Wenner serves Qualicum Beach properties from the Nanaimo Experience Centre, with reference projects across the oceanfront and rural acreages around the village.
Solar & Backup Power.
Vancouver Island's power grid is a known hazard during winter storms. Wenner designs and integrates standby power solutions — automatic transfer switches, generator sizing, fuel routing, and battery storage where it makes sense. Solar PV arrays are designed in alongside the home's electrical service, with appropriate inverters and battery storage, and brought into the broader Crestron platform.
- Kohler standby generators — silent, sized to whole-home or critical-load coverage.
- Automatic transfer switches with seamless cutover during outages.
- Solar PV arrays with battery storage, where the site supports it.
- Integration into the home's Crestron platform — visible status on the touch panels.
- Coordinated with the electrical service under Wenner's BC electrical contractor licence (LEL0003189).
Pre-engineered off-site. Installed on-site by our team.
Every Wenner project follows the same disciplined workflow. The system is pre-engineered at our design centre well before it ships to site, so the on-site phase is dramatically faster, more predictable, and more reliable.
- Rack builds and pre-engineering at our design centre. Equipment racks, control processors, network gear, and bespoke programming are assembled, configured, and tested at our Nanaimo or Victoria centre before anything ships to site — the system is essentially functional before it leaves our hands.
- Wenner team on site for the critical phases. Rough-in, final install, commissioning, and testing are handled directly by the Wenner integration team.
- One accountable party. Wenner remains the single technical and management authority on the project, in close coordination with the architect, the interior designer, the builder, and the homeowner.
- The same long-term relationship. Same coordination during construction, same commissioning standard at handover, same aftercare through WennerCare.
The same workflow delivers Wenner projects far beyond Vancouver Island — most recently a completed residence in Mexico City, and an active project in Oregon through our sister company Intuitiv Spaces.
Wenner also delivers.
