Frequently Asked Questions

The length of time it takes to install solar panels depends on the size of the system and the complexity of the installation. Typically, residential installations take 1-3 days while commercial installations can take several weeks.

During a solar consultation, our team will assess your property's energy needs and evaluate the feasibility of solar installation. We will also provide you with information on available incentives and financing options.

Currently Alberta does not have a provincial tax benefit. We can only rely on 2 programs. 

• PACE Alberta
• Government of Canada $40,000.00 interest free 10 year loan

As a Solar Energy producer you can sell more then just Electricity.  You are allowed to also sell your Carbon Credits for the production over the year.

SOLAR OFFSET is a platform that allows the owners of small-scale solar panel and wind power systems to get paid for the greenhouse gas emission reductions they are making.​​

Solar panels are warrantied to produce power for up to 25 years at 80% efficiency to when they were installed, most of our panels are 30 years! There are panels still in use after 40 years that still produce power at substantial levels.

All solar panels must meet rigorous testing to be called a Photovoltaic (PV) Panel. One such tests is hail! The panel must sustain a golf ball size hail at 160 kph direct hit. Most panels are installed at an angle so the blows will be non-direct.

Alberta is one of the sunniest places on the planet, believe it or not.  We get more sun than even Florida and because of our colder winters we produce more power than any of the sunny areas on the planet.

Most systems that are installed in cities are called grid tie in system; this means we invert the DC energy created by the solar panels into AC power that feeds directly into you home electrical panel. With that in mind a power outage will stop the solar production unless we install a battery, all of our systems are designed for that option.

New advancements in micro-inverters technology ,allow us to also install solar and keep it running during the day without batteries.

If you decide to live in your home for 15+ years or just 5, solar will pay itself back to you either through the increase in property value or energy savings alone.

The manufactures of solar products are very conscious of the environment they are trying to protect.  We only use products that have a net zero offset, and the panels we use offset the manufacturing within 2 -3 years.

Solar will increase the home value by 4.1% to 4.5%, potentially more when you use our Building Integrated PV.  The system installed will pay for itself using net present value, if you are planning to move within 5 years of the installation.

Solar has been around for decades and is continually evolving. The products we use are all connected to the internet, using private usernames and passwords. This allows us or you to update the equipment just like a cell phone, computer or electric car.
