Why Choose Solar in Calgary?

At 15 degrees north of the Arctic Circle, Calgary is one of Canada’s sunniest cities with just under 2,400 hours of sunlight each year. That’s the kind of sunshine that makes sure your solar panels will be producing energy efficiently year-round—even through Calgary’s notorious cold winters.

​

We have a continental climate—panels love that. New systems largely handle snow accumulation due to function tilt adjustment and/or automated cleaning, but it’s important to account for local impacts.

​

Investing in solar energy saves Calgarians money by drastically decreasing their dependence on expensive conventional energy sources. Converting to solar with a trusted professional installation not only adds long-term value by saving you an average of 15% of your total project cost.

​

Solar panels add to your property’s allure, particularly to eco-friendly buyers, all while doing your part to lower your carbon footprint. With dependable, maintenance-free inverters transforming energy like clockwork, Calgary’s unique environment has made solar an easy and smart sustainable solution.

Calgary's Solar Potential: Debunking Myths

Contrary to popular belief, solar panels are a smart investment year-round, even through cold winter months. Calgary’s sunny, high-altitude climate offers more than 2,300 hours of productive energy each year.

​

Further to that, the panels perform incredibly well in snowy conditions, because the panels readily absorb light that’s reflected from the snow. Surprising to many, winter’s below-zero temperatures have the ability to improve panel performance, as solar technology functions best when the atmosphere is cooler.

​

Though some may find the upfront installation costs intimidating, lower costs and plenty of incentives have put solar systems within reach, more so than ever before. This can amount to huge savings on electricity bills over the long run.

​

Indeed, most installations will recoup their costs within a period of 10 to 15 years. Today’s panels are as tough as car roofs, demand almost no maintenance, and have life expectancies greater than 25 years, providing both economic and environmental returns over the long haul.

Estimate Solar Panel System Costs

Two big factors are the type of solar panels you select and how complex your installation is. Include things like roof slope, accessibility and your unique energy needs.

​

In Alberta, the average home needs between 10-30 solar panels to cover its electricity consumption. The price for residential roof-mounted systems has been between $2.50 and $3.50 per watt.

​

Budgeting effectively requires a clear breakdown. A typical system’s upfront investment often pays back within 7-15 years, aided by grants and long-term energy savings.

​

Maintaining structural integrity, including for aging roofs, could require keeping the roof safe through added costs for third-party inspections.

​

To secure competitive pricing and reliable service, we recommend obtaining multiple quotes, balancing affordability with expertise and quality.

Navigate Solar Panel Installation Process

Installing solar panels in Calgary involves a detailed, multi-step procedure that ensures efficiency and compliance. The process typically begins with an initial consultation and site assessment, where we evaluate your roof’s condition, pitch, and potential shading to maximize energy production.

​

Following this, a custom system design is created, taking factors like a 45-degree tilt or 12:12 pitch into account for optimal performance. Installation itself, which often takes one to two days, includes mounting the panels securely and connecting them to your electrical system.

​

Finally, activation and inspection confirm functionality and adherence to safety standards.

​

Maximize Solar Panel Efficiency

Daily maintenance becomes critical since even a light coat of snow can eliminate production altogether. Moreover, conducting regular performance monitoring enables you to quickly recognize any dips in energy generation and respond with proactive maintenance.

​

First, orientation and tilt greatly affect solar panel efficiency. Panels oriented due south at optimum angles will collect the maximum sunshine, which during Calgary’s long 16-hour summer days can yield 5-6 kWh/m²/day.

​

Though harsh winter conditions, such as less sunlight and lower angles, do affect efficiency, it can be more efficient in the winter due to lower thermal loss. Energy storage systems, like batteries, add even more benefits by storing excess energy to use during peak demand times.

​

Technologies such as smart inverters and high-efficiency panels offer even more ways to maximize output.

Residential vs. Commercial Solar Solutions

Residential and commercial solar installations serve different purposes and provide different benefits. Residential systems typically range from 5.8kW to 7kW and are designed to power one home.

​

In contrast, commercial systems help businesses save on operating costs, costing between $40,500 and $168,750 CAD. They typically have minimalist designs, allowing for seamless installation in as little as one to two days. Their small footprint makes them readily deployable. Due to the inefficiency of some energy output, there are about 9% losses possible from tilt or azimuth alone.

​

Commercial solar systems take on an even larger, more complex scale. That is because they are purpose-built to address the energy needs of large, widespread buildings or campuses. Due to their higher upfront costs, these systems provide higher returns on investments through increased energy generation.

​

For example, Calgary’s transition to solar has helped local businesses save up to 55% on energy expenses, all while reaching sustainability goals. These installations frequently serve a dual purpose — compliance with corporate social responsibility, or CSR requirements, that promote environmental stewardship and responsible decision-making.
