Martin holds a Provincial (Post Secondary) Instructors Diploma issued by the BC Ministry of Advanced Education.
Well, it seems that small towns need services just like big cities. So when Systems Solar found out that Greenwood and Midway did not have technical repair services for personal and commercial electronics we decided that we would fill that gap. Martin has owned repair and service shops in the past and given that he worked on major building projects and repaired the tiniest of electric device, he is no stranger to repair.
So, bring in your broken and failing gear. Musical, phone, computer, or whatever you want and he can try to make it work like new.

Systems Solar got its start in solar power when the owner Martin earned a RCAC scholarship to train as glider pilot when he was 16 years old.
Glider pilots know all too well the challenges of staying aloft without an engine. It has to do with knowing winds and thermals! Just like solar power, position of the equipment is 90 percent of the process. the other 10%… it’s skill and sweat!
With aviation in mind, Systems Solar is proud to announce its membership in the BCAC. The British Columbia Aviation Council has the following objectives:
VISION
An aviation and aerospace industry that is visible, connected and thriving.
MISSION
To promote, stimulate and encourage the development, growth and advancement of aviation and aerospace in British Columbia.
Well, there you go. Just like our love of flying, solar devices only work when they are connected!
There is a need to educate society in the ways of reducing our destruction of the planet. We cannot continue to dig and pump up fossil fuels to power our society. Given the fact that we reject nearly 60 percent of the energy to produce what we use is just downright reckless.
We have to start to utilize a more wholistic approach to our energy use. For example, waste heat recovery, emissions recovery and so forth.
The chart below from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory shows how much energy is rejected in the USA. It is terrible to see how we as an advanced species to allow this much energy (aka HEAT) to be sent off into oceans, lakes and the atmosphere.
rejected energy chart
The chart clearly shows that we, based on these US figures, are not doing it correctly. Transportation and electrical generation wastes such a great deal of energy. There are obvious ways to reduce these numbers and this is what we do at Systems Solar. We look at your consumption and find ways to reduce the wasted or rejected energy in your home or business. When we consult, we can offer ways to reduce loss, reduce usage, or how to produce energy to reduce your overall costs of energy.
Remember, it is more than just a ‘log’ that you burn, it is also the energy required to feed the person who chopped the tree, it is also the fuel to move it and so forth!
We released our company logo a short while ago. It is simple and succinct. Not to much flash and basic black & white. Our logo says a lot more than meets the eye.
black and white: When it comes to saving our environment there is no grey area there. We must make every effort to save our ecosystem. It also represents night and day. What we deal with in our solutions.
the circle: The circle besides its mathematical meaning can also denote unity, oneness, and completion. Additionally a circle with a dot in the centre is the astronomical symbol for the sun.
the mobius strip: The mobius strip means infinity. The sun gives us an endless supply of energy. Energy to grow, to create oxygen from photosynthesis. It is an endless supply of life-giving force. The mobius also looks like a propeller, and in doing so, it denotes our work with wind turbines as part of our solar solutions.
the lightning bolt: The lightning bolt denotes the power we harness from the sun and the energy we use. It also symbolizes strength and conviction of our organization.
A new era of lighting is now available for homes and offices. Do you want to save up to 85 percent on lighting costs? Do you want cooler days in summer? LED lighting is the way to go. There are many solutions that you can have added to your home. Even lighting that can change colour with a remote control or even from your phone! It’s the way to go.
Systems Solar can help you with many solutions for your home or business. basic lighting packages are available and if you want to go really fancy. How about lighting that will even play music for you? Anywhere you like.
