The new Castle Mountain Cabin is officially open!

Proud to have helped power it with Bugaboo Offgrid ⚡

Check out the story (and the mystery they found!): ➡️

Halfway between Banff and Lake Louise along the Trans–Canada Highway sits the dramatic Castle Mountain. Halfway up the south face of Castle and overlooking the highway is the Goat Plateau ledge and, for the past 58 years, a small climbers’ hut. This summer, the hut was removed and replaced with ...

Throwback to Summer 2023 — Powering Alpine Club of Canada Huts! 🏔️

I’ve had the pleasure of providing power to several Alpine Club of Canada huts over the years — working on solar installs, off-grid upgrades, and troubleshooting.

Check out this ACC blog post for a behind-the-scenes look at their maintenance team in action, with a few photos of me in the mix:

It’s always rewarding to help keep these remote huts running smoothly in some of BC’s most beautiful spots.

What’s your favourite backcountry spot to get off the grid?

When you operate the largest network of backcountry huts in North America, spread across a couple of different mountain ranges and with a couple dozen structures exposed to wild mountain conditions, staying on top of chores will keep a team busy.

🏡 I recently wrapped up a variety of projects for a new home in Invermere — including staining, electrical work, siding, cabinetry, and more. Here’s what the homeowners had to say:

“We had the pleasure of hiring Anthony Baker (Bugaboo Contracting) to assist us with a variety of projects for our new home in Invermere and we couldn't be happier with the results. He assisted us with staining, electrical work, siding, light installation, cabinetry and general maintenance and repairs.

Anthony is an electrician and has extensive knowledge in multiple areas of home improvement, and each task was completed with care and precision. Anthony is meticulous in his work, ensuring that every detail is perfect. His kind and thoughtful personality makes him a pleasure to have around. He is incredibly reliable – when he says he will be there you know you can count on it.

We highly recommend Bugaboo Contracting. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, dependable, and a true professional, look no further. Thank you, Anthony, for your outstanding service!”

🔋 Battery Storage: It’s About the Right Fit — Not Just Capacity

A properly sized off-grid system isn’t about cramming in as many batteries as you can.

It’s about how your system works together — the solar input, storage, inverter, and even your seasonal habits.

⚠️ I’ve seen brand-new systems fail within a year due to bad sizing or mismatched parts.

Let’s make sure your system is built for your actual needs, not a guess on a spreadsheet.

📩 Message me if you’re planning to build or upgrade off-grid.
