Red Seal Master Electrician-Led · Edmonton · Since 2018

We've talked dozens of customers out of buying solar.

One was 80 and might be moving to a care home. One was buying a new build in eight months. One was mid-renovation and would have needed almost double the system he asked for. Solar panels are warrantied for 30 years and stay on a home for 40 to 50. We'd rather lose the sale than sell you a system you'll regret.

The entire process was completed in a timely and efficient manner. Pawan was a pleasure to work with — he took the time to thoroughly explain the product and never made me feel rushed.

Christine★★★★★

Had a great experience with Stellar Upgrades. The team was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. They made switching to solar feel simple and stress-free.

Alexendra★★★★★

Best company we dealt with — true professionals, and the best pricing for what they actually deliver. They even called us a year after install just to check on the system. That kind of follow-up is almost unheard of.

Tammy★★★★★

We have had our solar panels up and running for about a week. Up to this point we would highly recommend Stellar Upgrades if you are considering solar panels. Their whole team have been amazing and professional.

Gurdil S.★★★★★

The service was excellent, and everything was professional. The quality was good at a reasonable price. My house looks more advanced, and it really makes a difference in appearance.

Amrit S.★★★★★

I highly recommend Stellar Upgrades to anyone considering going solar. Their commitment to quality, customer service, and transparency truly sets them apart.

Jashandeep S.★★★★★

I had solar panels installed on my home last month by Stellar Upgrades and I'm honestly impressed with how everything turned out. PJ took the time to walk us through everything.

Emma★★★★★

What I appreciated most was their transparent pricing and honest advice. They didn't try to sell me a generic package; instead, they provided a personalized design based on my actual utility bills.

David★★★★★

Jordan and his team are professionals, paying very detailed attention to our system. We needed a panel upgraded and they did it at no additional cost while they were already very budget-friendly.

Japdeep★★★★★

Hey if you are going solar I highly recommend this company as it's not here to just take my money and actually help me save money on my bills.

James★★★★★

We installed our solar system almost two years ago, and it's performing exactly the same as day one. The company actually called us after two years just to check if everything was still working properly.

Kelsey B.★★★★★

Professional, honest and local. Would highly recommend Jordan and his team to anyone looking for solar panels or energy upgrades.

Patt G.★★★★★

So thrilled with this company! Our system was installed over a year ago and it was the best decision we ever made. We used to pay $600–$800 in bills, but now we pay nothing to the utility company!

Ali · North Edmonton · Installed November 2024

From an electricity bill to a credit from ENMAX.

Ali's system was commissioned in November 2024. By his first full summer billing cycle — May 17 to June 17, 2025 — his panels were producing more electricity than his home was using. ENMAX credited him $247.82 for that month instead of sending him a bill.

Real customer. Real bill. Real credit.

Solar In Winter

Edmonton gets more sunshine than Toronto.

2,300+ hours of sunshine per year

More than Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver. Alberta is one of the sunniest provinces.

Cold improves panel efficiency

Solar panels produce more power in cold temperatures. Alberta winters are actually an advantage.

Net metering banks your summer surplus

Produce extra in summer, use credits in winter. Most systems hit $0 annual electricity cost.

The People We Said No To

We decline about 1 in 10 assessments.

This isn't marketing copy — it's how we actually run the company. Over 500+ installs, that's dozens of homeowners we've told not to buy. Meet three of them — and why we said no.

Georgina and her sister were ready to buy. I told them not to.

Her bill was $143 a month. Her roof worked. The numbers worked. I was sitting in her living room with the proposal ready — and her sister was sitting right beside her. Both in their 80s. As we talked, Georgina mentioned they weren't sure how long they'd be in the house. Maybe four months. Maybe two years. They didn't know.

I put the proposal down. I told her: “Everything here looks good. The only reason I wouldn't recommend solar is because you don't know when you might need to move. To take full advantage of this investment, it takes a few years. If you're not sure you'll be here that long, this isn't the right decision for you.” They were kind about it. I left without signing anything. It was the right call.

She was an 80-year-old on a $143 bill. A sale would have served me, not her.

Sakib thanked me for telling him no.

Sakib was referred to us by a friend. Young family, strict budget, living in a small house on the north side — and taking possession of a new build in eight months. He wanted solar on the current house right away.

I told him: “I'd like to give you this system, but I don't think it's a good financial decision right now. I'm not sure how much you'll recover from selling this house when you move. I'm not going to tell you something that might not be true.” He didn't push back. He thanked me for being honest. Five months later, he called us back from the new house. We designed his system for that roof from day one.

A sale today would have cost him money tomorrow. That's not a trade I'll make.

We almost sold Gagandeep a 7 kW system. He needed 11.5.

Gagandeep called us while he was mid-renovation. He was adding central AC. He was finishing his basement. Both projects would meaningfully change his electrical load — but neither was done yet. Based on his current bills, we were going to recommend a 7 kW system. That would have been the wrong answer.

We told him: finish the AC, finish the basement, then call us back so we have a clear picture. He didn't argue — he wanted us to get it right. Three weeks later, we came back, pulled the real numbers, and designed an 11.5 kW system. That's 64% more capacity than what we would have sold him if we'd rushed.

We don't sell you the system you need today. We build you the system you'll still need in 40 years.

If your home is one of the ~90% where solar makes sense, we'll show you the numbers, the equipment, and the timeline. If it's one of the 10% where it doesn't, we'll tell you what would need to change — and we won't push.

The Difference

How we're different from most Edmonton solar companies.

Not every solar company is built the same way. Most are sales operations that subcontract the electrical work. We're built the opposite way — and it shows up in every decision we make.

Most solar companies
Sales-first
Stellar Upgrades
Trades-first
Commission sales reps lead the process. Electrical work is subcontracted to whoever's available that week.
Co-founded by a Red Seal Master Electrician who personally designs and supervises every install. 8 in-house electricians. Zero subcontractors since 2018.
Close every lead. Push the biggest system the customer will finance.
We declined ~10% of assessments last year. Sometimes we recommend a smaller system. Sometimes we tell you to wait. Sometimes we walk away from a signed deal.
Size the system for today's bill — even if you're planning a reno, adding AC, or buying an EV.
We size for the home you'll have in 40 years. If your load is about to change, we wait until it does. You get the right system, not just a system.
Advertise “0% financing” without telling you the dealer fee built into the price is often 25–35%.
Cash buyers get 10% off automatically. We show you the real financing cost and let you pick what fits your situation.
You meet a sales rep once. After installation, you're a ticket number in someone's CRM.
Both founders on every project. PJ runs your assessment. Jordan oversees your install. You always know who to call.

We decline ~10% of assessments when the math doesn't work. Your trust matters more than a sale.

Stellar Upgrades installs three product categories: solar panel systems (LONGi Hi-MO 7 500W panels with APsystems DS3 microinverters, from $2.80/W installed), battery backup systems (EP Cube with <20ms automatic switchover), and EV chargers (Wallbox Pulsar Plus, 40A at $3,499 or 48A at $3,999 installed).

Most homes need 6–12 kW (12–24 panels) at $2.80–$3.10/W installed. $0-down financing from 6.99% over up to 20 years makes monthly payments less than the bill they replace. Cash buyers get 10% off automatically. CEIP lets you finance through property taxes with no credit check. See the full savings calculator →
