Solar isn’t a sale. It’s a 30-year promise.
Edmonton’s solar, battery & EV charger installer since 2018 — built to be the company you can still call, and still trust, in 30 years.
Our work · Rooftop install, Edmonton
Capacity figure from our install records: about 5,000 kW across 550+ residential and rural systems. Annual generation estimated using Alberta’s published average solar yield of ~1,150 kWh/kW/year province-wide (~1,200 in the Edmonton region). Real Alberta winter production data →
We’re here to raise the standard — not just take the sale.
Stellar Upgrades is an Edmonton-based solar, battery, and EV charger installation company serving all of Alberta within ~200 km — 550+ installs since 2018, BBB A+ accredited, $5 million insured, with every electrical permit pulled under our own in-house Red Seal Master Electrician’s certificate and an in-house crew led on site by Red Seal journeyman Matthew Wesley. No subcontractors, ever.
Solar isn’t a product. It’s a 30-to-40-year decision that will outlast cars, careers, and most of the companies selling it. The system going on your roof today should still be earning for you in 2056. That only happens if the equipment is right, the install is done by certified electricians, the warranty is real, and the company that put it there is still around to answer the phone.
One name. One phone number. The same company in 30 years.
Stellar Upgrades is led by Pawanjeet (PJ) Singh — Founder. PJ built the way Stellar sells — our senior team walks every homeowner through the real numbers, and about one in ten hears that solar isn’t the right call for their home. No script. No call centre.
That’s the structure behind every quote: one accountable owner at the top, a four-role chain of accountability below — you’ll meet the people in a moment — and an Alberta-incorporated business standing behind the warranty in writing. Same crew on day one, same crew on day 9,000.
Pawanjeet (PJ) Singh
Founder & OwnerSells it. Signs it. Builds it. Seals it.
Most Alberta solar quotes pass through a canvassing firm, a lead broker, and whichever subcontractor crew has capacity that week. Here are the people you’ll meet on a Stellar install in Edmonton — all on Stellar’s payroll — working under the certificate of our own in-house Master Electrician, who signs off every design and every permit before a panel goes up.
01 · Sells itSewak
The person who meets you at your home — walks the roof, checks your electrical panel, reads your last year of power bills, and gives you a straight answer about whether solar makes sense. One point of contact from first call to install day. No handoff to a “closer.”
About one in ten homeowners hears “don’t do it.” That’s the quota that matters here.
02 · Builds itMatthew Wesley
On the tools since 2012, Red Seal certified since 2015. For the last five years Matt has led Stellar’s install crew across every kind of project we do — rooftop, ground mount, farm buildings, battery backup, EV chargers. His standard: the finished install should exceed what you expected.
Five years of installs under his lead — and a 5.0-star record with zero negative reviews to show for it.
03 · Seals itDario Nazarit
A certified roofer with 10 years on Alberta roofs — and the answer to the most common question in solar: “what about the holes in my roof?” Every mount, flashing, and penetration passes through Dario’s hands, sealed to last the life of the roof and backed in writing by our installation and leak-proof warranties.
The crew member customers most often mention by name after an install.
Why we built Stellar — in our own words.
When you put solar on your home, you’re not buying a product. You’re making a 30-to-40-year decision. The system you install today will outlast cars, jobs, mortgages — and probably the company that sold it to you, unless that company was built differently.
Most of the solar industry in Alberta over the last few years has been organized around one motion: the sale. The fastest signature, the biggest commission, the next door knocked. We’ve watched too many homeowners sign with operations that disappeared inside a single winter, leaving permits unfiled, warranties orphaned, and roofs leaking with no one to call. That’s the industry we walked into. It’s the industry we refuse to be part of.
Stellar Upgrades exists because Alberta deserves a solar company organized around a different motion: the promise. If we don’t think solar will bring real, measurable financial change to your home, we tell you, and we walk away. We’re here to raise the bar — not just on what we install, but on what the whole industry expects of itself.
Our promise to every customer is simple. If solar won’t make your life better, we don’t recommend it. If we install it, we stand behind it — not through a call center, not through a “partner network,” through us. The same names. The same phone number. The same crew you met on day one.
That’s the work. That’s the promise.
Built one install at a time, since 2018.
Stellar didn’t arrive overnight. It came from eight years of doing the work, then doing more of it, then refusing to grow in a way that would cost the trust we earned.
Real homes. Real roofs. Across Alberta.
Every photo in this gallery is our own work, photographed on the day the install was finished or shortly after. Our crews. Our customers’ roofs.
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 to $800 in bills, but now we pay nothing to the utility company.
National sales operation vs. local Alberta installer.
A lot of solar quotes in Alberta come from companies that don’t actually install. Sales is contracted out, leads are resold, the install is dispatched to whichever crew has bandwidth. The deep-dive lives in our 11 questions to ask any Alberta solar installer. Here’s the short version, line by line.
We want to be trusted the way you trust Costco.
You walk into Costco knowing if something is wrong, you can talk to a real person and get it sorted. No call center maze. No three-week ticket queue. No “sorry, that’s a different department.” The transaction is built around confidence, not friction.
That’s the standard we’re building Stellar Upgrades to meet. When you call us in year 1, year 5, or year 30, you reach the same company. Real people who can make decisions. Real accountability. Problems solved — not escalated, not deflected, not subcontracted.
Solar is too important a decision for anything less.
Authorized dealers. Real warranties. Tier-1 manufacturers.
Every product we install is one we’d put on our own home. Each is backed by a Tier-1 manufacturer warranty — the kind that survives even if Stellar isn’t the one filing the claim. The deeper case for our equipment choices: microinverters vs string for Alberta roofs and Tesla Powerwall 3 vs EP Cube 2.0.
Solar Panels
Tier-1 Hi-MO 7. 25-year product + 30-year linear performance warranty. Excellent low-light performance for Alberta winters.
Microinverters
Panel-level optimization and panel-level monitoring. 25-year product warranty. Each panel produces independently — shade or snow on one doesn’t drag the array.
Battery Storage
LFP whole-home backup. 10-year / 6,000-cycle warranty. Canadian Solar parent — warranty support out of Guelph, Ontario.
EV Chargers
Smart Level 2 charging. The Emporia Pro — our most popular, with a Vue 3 whole-home energy monitor included — or the premium Wallbox Pulsar Plus. Rated to −30°C. 40A and 48A configurations available.
Racking: RT Mini 2 (roof-mount) and FastRX (ground-mount). Critter guards included on every install.

From first call to clean energy — typically 8 to 10 weeks.
Most of the timeline is permits and utility processing — not crew time on your roof. Here’s the honest, week-by-week version. We chase every approval so you don’t have to.
Free assessment
On-site or virtual. We look at your electrical panel, your roof’s condition and orientation, and your last year of power bills — then tell you straight whether solar makes sense.
Design & scope
We confirm the final system design and exact scope of work with you. Nothing moves until the numbers and the layout both make sense to you.
Engineering
Paperwork signed, we build the electrical engineering plan set and get a structural engineer’s stamp — confirming your roof and trusses will carry the system for decades.
Permits filed
We pull the electrical permit and the development permit from your city or town. Engineering and permits together take about a week.
Utility interconnection
We file the micro-generation application with your utility — EPCOR, Fortis, ATCO or EQUS. The long pole of the whole timeline.
Installation
Approval in hand, you pick the date. Our in-house crew installs in two days to a week, depending on system size.
Final inspection
We coordinate the municipal electrical inspection within 7–10 days of finishing the install — and we’re on site for it.
Power on
Inspection passed, your utility swaps in the bi-directional meter, and the system goes live. You’re generating.
