Why Solar Energy?
Discover how solar power can transform your energy costs, protect the environment, and provide energy independence for decades to come.
The Benefits of Going Solar
Solar energy isn't just good for the planet—it's great for your wallet, your home, and your future.
Reduce Energy Bills
Save 50-90% on your monthly electricity costs. With Alberta's rising energy prices, solar provides long-term financial protection and predictable energy costs.
Environmental Impact
A typical residential solar system offsets 3-4 tons of CO2 annually—equivalent to planting 100 trees every year.
Increase Property Value
Homes with solar panels sell 20% faster and for 4.1% more on average. Solar is a wise investment that pays dividends when you sell.
Energy Independence
Protect yourself from utility rate hikes and power outages. Generate your own clean energy and take control of your power supply.
Net Metering Benefits
Excess energy you generate gets credited to your account, effectively spinning your meter backwards during peak production times.
Battery Storage Ready
Future-proof your system with battery storage capability. Store excess solar energy for use during evenings or power outages.
How Solar Works in Calgary
Sunlight Hits Panels
Solar panels contain photovoltaic (PV) cells that capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
Inverter Converts Power
The DC electricity flows to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity that powers your home.
Power Your Home
Clean solar energy powers your lights, appliances, and devices. Excess energy flows back to the grid for credits.
Net Metering Credits
When you produce more than you use, excess power goes to the grid and you receive credits on your utility bill.
