When the grid falters, a properly built system carries your home without a pause, so your day holds its shape no matter what is happening outside.
A well-designed solar system is an asset, and homes that own their power consistently command a premium over comparable properties without it.
Generating your own clean power means leaning less on strained infrastructure for a quieter grid, a healthier environment, and a more resilient community.
A complete system of panels and storage, engineered around your load analysis so it produces what your home needs and banks the rest.
If you already have solar, we can expand its capacity, add battery backup, or simplify a setup that has grown unwieldy over the years.
We design solar into your home from the earliest plans, working alongside your architect and builder so panels, wiring, and battery space are accounted for.
We maintain, fine-tune, and stand behind every system we install, so your power keeps running with very little for you to think about.

We started in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma and have spent every year since building resilience into homes across St. John and St. Thomas.
We have delivered over three megawatts of custom solar across the territory, carrying over 300 homes and businesses through long outage stretches.
Every system begins with a week-long load analysis, so what we build is precisely sized to how your home draws power.
Our work is backed by NABCEP certification, SEI training, SEIA membership, and a 2019 Caribbean Innovation Award from VIEDA.
We match 100 percent of our marketing budget with donations to local non-profits and community projects strengthening energy resilience and sustainability across the USVI.

It would be the biggest mistake of your life not to work with Tucker and VI Solar.
I already had solar and wanted to upgrade and simplify. Tucker was honest from the start. He gave me three quotes so I could decide how much I wanted to invest, with no pressure to oversell. He's here on St. John; he responds quickly, and when WAPA goes down, my guests are safe. It has been very easy.
Thomas Pardini & Cheryl Ellsworth, St. John Villa Owners
We have a villa on St. John that we rent when we're not on-island, and frequent WAPA outages were unacceptable to our guests and us. Tucker is knowledgeable, competent, dependable, and an excellent communicator. Our WAPA bills are much lower, and we often receive a monthly credit. The installation was done efficiently and with an eye toward detail. Our battery room is so neat that it gets as many compliments as the house. Do it. You won't regret it.
We now have clean power when WAPA takes its frequent vacations. Tucker is knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful. He always shows up. Just do it.
Amanda Eichenauer, St. John
We were building a new home and dealing with expensive electric bills and an uncertain power supply. VI Solar gave us great customer service and a swift response from start to finish. We now have reliable power and a reduced electric bill.
I wanted to lower my high electrical bills. One property now has no electrical bill at all, and the other is greatly reduced. Very little maintenance, and VI Solar's responsiveness and reliability have been consistent throughout.
We choose panels, inverters, and batteries based on how well they hold up to island conditions. Reach out, and we’ll be glad to walk you through the exact models we recommend for your home and why.
Our systems are engineered and mounted for the island conditions, with equipment placement and installation standards chosen to withstand high winds and heavy weather. You can also get regular maintenance with us to keep your solar system in good shape.
That is your choice, and we design for both. Some of our clients keep a grid connection as a backstop while running primarily on solar and battery. You can also go fully independent. Your setup can be calibrated to the level of independence you want.
Absolutely, if that’s what you want. One of the best benefits of investing in solar is being able to improve the comfort level in your home. Your load analysis tells us precisely what you need to keep your home running the way you want.
