Protect Yourself from Rising Electricity Costs
The more you pay for electricity – the more you benefit by going solar.
Electricity rates across Alberta have risen steadily over the past several years, and further increases are expected.
Locking in your energy costs with solar protects your household from future rate hikes.

Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in Alberta
Your solar system will connect to the grid via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is saved in credits by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months.
In Alberta, with Time-of-Use billing, On-Peak hours coincide with peak solar generation times, earning you credits at higher On-Peak rates.
Net Metering in Alberta makes it simple for a home solar installation to cover your bills year-round.
Solar System Packages
All packages include professional installation, permits, and 25-year warranty.
