Okanagan Solar Limited is in the business of renewable energy, but they91裸聊视频檙e also in the business of giving back.

Owner Rob Monteith said every year the company looks at supporting a local charity organization with free solar panels and installation.

After driving past the building so many times and noticing how perfect the roof is for solar panels, Monteith chose the BC SPCA Kelowna branch to gift the solar panels to.

91裸聊视频淲e do a lot of really large projects and buy in bulk, and sometimes we have leftover panels,91裸聊视频� Monteith said. 91裸聊视频淲hen that happens I always look for a non-profit that could use some help.91裸聊视频� Monteith said one of their previous gifts was to Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 Gospel Mission.

One of the challenges in gifting solar panels is that the organization needs to own its building. With the SPCA building in Kelowna being owned, not leased, and south facing, Monteith said it was an easy pick.

91裸聊视频淔or a non-profit like the SPCA, obviously it didn91裸聊视频檛 cost them anything for [the solar system], but that building uses a lot of power. Anything that we could produce lowers the cost of their annual bills, or their monthly bills for Fortis.91裸聊视频�

Monteith has been in the Okanagan for about 50 years and said his kids were born and raised here. As a member of the community he has felt the need to give back to those around him.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e a small family-run, owned and operated company, and it91裸聊视频檚 always best to help everybody in your community. We91裸聊视频檝e had a really good year and we91裸聊视频檙e in a very good business91裸聊视频� It91裸聊视频檚 been a profitable year, so it only makes sense that we pay it forward.91裸聊视频�

The solar panels were installed back in October at an estimated value of $8,300.
