Real Results.

Positive Power Systems was born from necessity — and built on decades of hands-on, off-grid living on Salt Spring Island.

Island Resident 20+ Years

From Raw Land to Reliable Power

When Damien moved onto a remote property — raw, undeveloped land — on Salt Spring Island with his partner and young family, there was no grid connection. No infrastructure. Just the land and the need for power.

Out of that necessity, Damien developed an off-grid power system to fuel their basic needs. It worked. And over time, his skills became valued by neighbours and community members looking to develop their own power projects.

Noticing a niche to be filled, Damien went on to build Positive Power Systems into a full-service solar installation business. Today, the company offers grid-tied and battery backup systems alongside its off-grid roots, supplying power independence to Salt Spring Island and the neighbouring Gulf Islands.

Damien continues to be a reputable, professional local solar installation expert on Salt Spring, offering exceptional system support and service — because when your installer lives down the road, help is never far away.

Why Local Matters
