Our Solar Panel Services

Design & Installation

Every solar installation we complete is matched to your property’s structure, energy consumption, and available sunlight. We use CSA-approved equipment and licensed electricians, ensuring every solar system is code-compliant and optimized for Calgary’s climate. Our team handles the entire process, from permits to final connection.

Maintenance & Repairs

This includes solar panel installations that require rewiring, inverter resets, or replacements due to wear, weather damage, or manufacturing defects. We help keep your renewable energy system running efficiently, reducing long-term maintenance costs and maximizing your return.

Post-Install Checkups

Annual reviews help you protect your investment and detect issues before they impact your solar power output. We inspect system logs, solar panels, inverters, and mounting hardware to confirm performance against Calgary’s seasonal benchmarks. This proactive approach ensures stable energy production and supports consistent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

Performance Optimization

If your solar system isn’t producing as expected, we can optimize its configuration for better efficiency. We review shading, inverter programming, panel alignment, and energy consumption patterns to boost daily output. These adjustments help homeowners and businesses get more from their solar panels in Calgary, especially as their usage evolves.

Seasonal Panel Cleaning

Dirt, pollen, and snow can lower the efficiency of solar panel installations by 10% or more. We offer seasonal panel cleaning to restore full performance and keep your system producing clean energy throughout the year. Especially important during Calgary winters, this service ensures uninterrupted renewable energy savings.

How Do Solar Panels Work?

Solar panels don’t just power your home; they power long-term savings. Here’s how a solar panel system works behind the scenes, and why it’s especially effective for Calgary homeowners:

Sunlight hits your solar panels, where photovoltaic (PV) cells convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.

That electricity flows through an inverter, transforming it into alternating current (AC) that your home can use.

Excess power is sent back to the grid via net metering, helping reduce your long-term energy costs.

Thanks to Calgary’s high elevation, long daylight hours, and dry climate, solar panel installations in the city are often more efficient than the national average.

Whether you’re just starting your solar journey or looking to upgrade, solar power provides a practical and clean path toward a sustainable future.
You may also qualify for government incentives, increase your property value, and save money year over year.
By generating your own solar energy, you reduce carbon emissions, decrease reliance on fossil fuels, and alleviate strain on the grid.

A well-designed solar panel system can offset up to 100% of your electricity usage, depending on the system’s size and your daily energy consumption.

Types of Solar Panels

Not all solar panels are built the same. From lifespan to efficiency, each type has its strengths. Here’s how they stack up, so you can choose what fits your budget, roof, and goals.

Monocrystalline Panels

Polycrystalline Panels

Thin-Film Panels

Our Installation Process

If you’re considering installing solar panels, this step-by-step process will help ensure your transition to solar energy is as smooth as possible. Here’s a clear overview of what to expect during the process:

Initial Consultation

We'll start with a discussion to understand your energy goals and preferences. We’ll discuss the system's layout and potential rebates you may qualify for.

Site Assessment

Next, we'll come to your property to evaluate your space. This includes checking the sun exposure and determining the best layout for the solar panels.

Quote & Timeline

After the assessment, you’ll receive a detailed quote that breaks down the costs and provides a timeline for when the installation will take place.

Design & Permits

We take care of the necessary designs and drawings, as well as obtaining any required permits and ensuring everything meets code requirements.
