Suncatcher brings Solar Power System Expertise to Every Project |
|
Suncatcher is a mother and son team who have been supplying and installing solar energy systems since 2003. We have expertise in renewable power system design with extensive experience in renewable energy installations. All work is done in house, with owner Rohan Campbell as lead installer and project manager. Our full-time installation crew of electricians has experience in multiple fields and we are a certified electrical contractor. Engineering design is done in house by owner Angelika Ortlepp, an electrical engineer whose M.Sc. thesis analyzed the performance of her off-grid solar & wind powered house, which she designed. |
Over the years, we have seen the technology and electrical code change and grow. We have worked with many brands of inverters, panels and racking and have the experience to recommend the best technology for each application. Suncatcher warranties their work for 10 years and handles all product warranties on your behalf. If warranty replacement of components is required, Suncatcher will do the installation of the replacement free of charge. EXPERIENCE, PASSION, PRECISION. BUILDING A BRIGHTER FUTURE. |

Meet the Suncatcher TeamAngelika Ortlepp
M.Sc., P.Eng – Founder, Partner, System Design
Angie is Suncatcher’s design lead and general manager. She is a Professional Engineer with a degree in Engineering Physics and a Masters in Electrical Engineering. Angie’s interest in solar, and her desire to build her own solar home, led to the creation of the Suncatcher Solar Prototype Home. The performance of the off-grid solar and wind powered home became the topic of her Master’s thesis. Before founding Suncatcher Solar in 2003, she taught Engineering Physics labs at the University of Saskatchewan. Her love of teaching is still strong, and she enjoys teaching about solar power. She began writing an educational blog in 2012. Many of her articles are now on our News page. She is a confident public speaker, and shares her experience and knowledge through speaking engagements and seminars. Angie plays the piano, curls, and reads extensively. She is also an artist, specialising in woodburning and water colour. Rohan Campbell
Partner, Journeyman Electrician, Installation Lead, Electrical Team
Rohan Campbell is a Partner in the business and has been working with Suncatcher Solar since 2005. During his tenure, he has worn many hats, and has assisted in all aspects of the business — including marketing, website design, and new home design. In his current position he leads our installation team. His talent for 3D visualisation and trouble shooting has been a huge asset when up against difficult to mount systems. He is friendly and knowledgeable and happy to answer any of your questions. Rohan is currently doing his electrical apprenticeship, and also makes up part of our electrical team. Outside of work, he goes jogging with his dogs whenever he can, and enjoys curling, sketching and painting. He has taken up photography in the last few years, focusing mainly on nature photography. Rudi Tessmann
Journeyman Electrician, Electrical Lead, Installation team
Rudi is a Journeyman electrician who has been working with Suncatcher since 2010. He joined our team because he loves solar and wanted to do more with it. He also wanted to make a difference with his work. Having both a farm and construction background, he understands the needs and issues of farmers. He is another great troubleshooter, who is always looking for new ideas and ways to improve. His contributions to innovation within the company, and his infectious enthusiasm, help make sure Suncatcher is ready for any challenge. Rudi enjoys being involved in his community, and coaches several sports teams in his spare time. Thomas McDonald
Journeyman Electrician, Installation and Electrical team
Thomas has been Rudi’s right hand man, doing Suncatcher’s installations first as Rudi’s apprentice and now as a Journeyman electrician himself. He started doing electrical work, helping his father and grandfather, at age 12, and became a journeyman in December, 2015. He’s always up on the roof with Rohan, getting his hands dirty (figuratively speaking), and getting those panels mounted. Thomas loves the outdoors and enjoys sports. He plays soccer and hockey, and has recently taken up snowboarding. He is a volunteer with the Kids Club in Saskatoon. |
