We install Thornova 550W bifacial solar panels on Calgary homes. Bifacial panels capture sunlight on both sides, which means the light reflecting off snow in winter actually boosts your production instead of hurting it. Calgary's cold, sunny climate is ideal for solar since panels run more efficiently in cooler temperatures.
Every panel we install is backed by a long-term manufacturer warranty and is rated to handle Alberta hail, wind, and snow loads. A typical system is designed to produce clean power for 25 years or more with almost no maintenance.
Calgary is one of the sunniest major cities in Canada, with roughly 2,400 hours of sunshine and more than 330 sunny days each year. Southern Alberta has some of the best solar potential in the country, which means panels installed here produce more power than the same system would in most other Canadian cities.
Between strong sunlight, rising electricity rates, and Alberta's micro-generation rules that let you sell excess power back to the grid, solar in Calgary pays for itself faster than most homeowners expect.
Alberta's micro-generation regulation lets homeowners send extra solar power back to the grid and get credited for it on their bill. In the summer months your system often produces more than you use, and those credits help cover your winter bills.
Some Alberta electricity retailers also offer solar club rates that pay a premium for the power you export during high production months. We walk you through the retailer options during your design consultation so your system is set up to earn as much as possible.
There are several programs that can lower the cost of going solar in Calgary. The Canada Greener Homes Loan offers interest-free financing for home energy upgrades including solar. The City of Calgary's Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) lets eligible homeowners finance solar through their property tax bill. Alberta solar club rate plans can also increase what you earn from the power you export.
Programs change over time and each has its own eligibility rules. When you get a free estimate from us, we go over every rebate, loan, and rate option you qualify for and handle the paperwork with you.
We install solar panels in every quadrant of Calgary and the surrounding communities, including Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Okotoks, Strathmore, and High River. Whether you are in an established neighbourhood or a newer community like Mahogany, Tuscany, Evanston, or Auburn Bay, we design every system for your specific roof and energy use.
The cost depends on your system size, roof type, and equipment. Most homeowners are surprised at how affordable solar has become, especially with interest-free financing and Alberta incentive programs. The fastest way to get an accurate number is a free estimate based on your actual roof and power bill.
Yes. Solar panels are actually more efficient in cold temperatures, and Calgary's frequent winter sunshine keeps systems producing year-round. Our bifacial panels also capture light reflected off snow, which adds to winter production. Snow typically slides off tilted panels within a day or two.
Savings depend on your electricity use, system size, and rate plan. Many Calgary homeowners offset most or all of their annual power costs, and summer overproduction credits help cover winter bills. We include a detailed production and savings estimate with every free quote.
Current options include the Canada Greener Homes Loan, the City of Calgary Clean Energy Improvement Program, and solar club rate plans from Alberta electricity retailers. We review every program you qualify for as part of your estimate.
Yes, solar installations in Calgary require electrical and development permits, plus approval from your utility for grid connection. We handle all permits and paperwork for you as part of every installation.
Most residential installations take one to two days on the roof. The full process from signed agreement to a running system, including permits and utility approval, typically takes a few weeks.
