How It Works

How Solar Works - Simple & Clear

1. Solar Panels

Your roof-mounted panels capture sunlight (photons) and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. Our top-of-the-market panels are built to withstand Alberta's climate, ensuring maximum efficiency year-round.

2. Inverter

The DC electricity flows to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity—the type of power used by all your appliances and electronics.

3. Your Home & The Grid

The clean, renewable energy powers your home or building. Any excess electricity you produce is sent back to the grid. This is where your utility meter comes in.

4. Utility Meter

Your meter tracks the electricity you use from the grid and the excess electricity you send back. Under Alberta's micro-generation regulations, you receive credits for the power you export.

The Benefits

Why Go Solar - The Benefits

Save Money on Electricity & Achieve Net-Zero

Take control of your energy costs and protect yourself from rising utility bills. By generating your own power, you significantly reduce your reliance on the grid. For residential clients, our goal is to design a system that gets you to "net-zero," where your annual production matches your consumption, often resulting in paying nothing to your utility provider.

Increase Your Property Value

A professionally installed solar system is a significant upgrade that makes your property more attractive and valuable. Studies consistently show that homes and businesses with solar sell faster and for a higher price. It's a modern feature that signals efficiency and forward-thinking.

Peace of Mind & Energy Independence

With a solar system, you gain a sense of security and energy independence. You're no longer completely at the mercy of the utility company. Our advanced monitoring systems allow you to track your energy production and usage in real-time, giving you full transparency and control.

Contribute to a Better Environment

By choosing solar, you're making a direct, positive impact on the environment. You reduce your carbon footprint and support the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources in Alberta. It's a choice that benefits your family, your community, and the planet.
