Solar in 10: the Top 15 Most Asked Questions About Solar PV

What does it really mean to build an energy-positive home — and is it actually affordable? In this episode, we sit down with Stéphane Doise, founder of CORE We Care, to explore how passive design, solar energy, and thoughtful construction can create homes that are healthier, more efficient, and truly future-proof. We unpack the key differences between North American and European building approaches, the real costs behind high-performance homes, and why designing for long-term comfort and durability may be the smartest investment you can make. If you’re building a forever home — or rethinking how we live — this conversation will change how you see the future of housing.

Energy-Positive Homes: Solar, Passive Design & the Future of Housing

What happens when you pair clean driving with clean energy? Julian Sale (Motorize EV) and Glenn Garry (Victoria EV Association) sit down to talk EV myths, shifting global trade news, and why charging your vehicle with sunshine might be the smartest move you can make. Solar and EVs aren’t just compatible—they’re unstoppable.

Recorded before the EV news or Rebates from Feb 4th, 2026. Stay tuned perhaps we'll update how that is going in relation to solar adoption in a future episode!

Solar + EVs: The Perfect Energy Pair

The conversation delves into the proposed transition from net metering to net billing in British Columbia, exploring the implications for solar energy users and the role of the BC Utilities Commission. Steve Unger, an intervener in the process, discusses the complexities of the rate application, the various stakeholders involved, and the recent revelation of a significant math error by BC Hydro that has shifted the dynamics of the discussion. The dialogue emphasizes the need for a holistic understanding of the benefits of solar energy and the importance of fair energy policies.

Correction: At 14:36 and 28:26 in the episode, the figure mentioned should be $1.4B, not the number originally stated.
