Morely...you don't say where in BC you are, so if you would? then some could offer outfits that are close enough, maybe.
There is a great RV shop in Burnaby that is the usual high dollar for work, but man, they do know their stuff and do excellant work. You could take them whatever you buy and they'd install. Travco.
If you are close to the border, you 'could' place a US order and have it sent to a reciever at any of the border towns. I do that with items and it's 5 bux to recieve it and they hold for pick-up. But, has been pointed out, the devalued Loonie is killer, right now.
One thing to bear in mind when calculating solar needs..if you are primarily a BC camper, the shade from overhanging trees will seriosly undermine your arrays ability. In this case...more is better. If you are looking at 100w? consider 200. That will take care of business unless you are a heavy wattage user.
I am a huge fan of solar and have 250w + 3 deep cycles. Having said that, there is no inexpensive way to do this. The bottom line costing will be the same as if you bought a 2000w Yamaha or Honda inverter.
