Price of solar technology has plateaued after an exponential decrease
The cost of solar panels has dropped by over 82% and their efficiency has increased by 26% since 2010. In that same time inverter technology has improved significantly, enabling systems to become more shade tolerant, efficient and reliable. Read more!
Lock in your electricity rates by minimizing your energy and delivery charges
Your bill is usually comprised of 25% energy charges and 50% delivery charges (transmission and distribution). Read more here. Going solar reduces both of these charges, allowing you to 'lock in' your energy costs for the duration of the system lifetime.
Leverage seasonal rate switching to maximise your Payback Period!
The Solar Club in Alberta offers two electricity rates, HI and LO, for solar customers. This system enables clients to capitalize on seasonal solar generation by switching to the higher HI rate in spring/summer when solar production is strong, and to the lower LO rate in fall/winter when production drops.
Solar increases the value of your home
Solar is also a desirable home upgrade that more and more buyers are looking for and there is plenty of evidence suggesting that installing a solar system increases the value of a home in Calgary by about 3-5%. Read more about it here.
There are multiple incentive programs and financing options available!
There are multiple options from Federal and Provincial loans that makes going solar today a no brainer!

Roof geometry and orientation are key to solar performance. South-facing, unobstructed, rectangular roofs are ideal, but east and west-facing surfaces can work well too. If vents are in the way, we can often relocate them. Our advanced software analyzes hundreds of variables to design the optimal system. Get in touch for a free, custom quote tailored to your roof.
Most of our clients join Spot Power, the best way to reduce payback periods after going solar. Check out their rates here.
1. Design Stage: Our engineers use your consumption data, drone imagery and our modelling software to create a custom solar system that meets your objectives.
2. Planning Stage: We sign a service agreement that outlines what you can expect from us, after which we sort out permits needed for the installation as well as order all the components for your system!
3. Installation Stage! Our crew installs your system to the highest standards for quality and safety. All you need to provide is access to your garage, roof, attic and electrical panel.
4. Commissioning Stage: We coordinate an inspection from the wire provider and bi-directional meter installation after which your system is activated and begins its 25+ years of service!
