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!

Harry S.★★★★★

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.

Why Solar in Hinton

Mountain gateway solar.

Hinton is a mountain-adjacent community of approximately 10,000 residents, situated 2.5 hours west of Edmonton and just 80 km east of Jasper National Park. Known for its forestry industry and outdoor recreation access, Hinton is the last major town before the Rocky Mountains. Despite its western Alberta location, Hinton receives strong solar radiation — the higher elevation and clear mountain air actually enhance solar panel efficiency. Homeowners in Hinton are increasingly pairing solar with battery backup for year-round energy security.

Common Questions

Solar in Hinton.

Yes. Hinton is 3 hours west of our Edmonton office. We serve all of Hinton and surrounding areas with rooftop and ground-mount solar, battery backup, and EV charger installations. Every install is done by our in-house electricians supervised by a Master Electrician.
A typical residential system costs $14,000–$50,000 depending on size. Most homes need 6–12 kW at $2.80–$3.10/W installed. $0-down financing from 6.99% over up to 20 years makes monthly payments less than your electricity bill. Use our savings calculator →
The distribution (wires) provider in Hinton is FortisAlberta. Alberta is deregulated, so you can choose any electricity retailer. Net metering for solar is available through all retailers — your surplus credits offset winter usage regardless of which retailer you use.
Yes. Hinton's proximity to the Rockies does not significantly reduce solar viability. The town sits in a wide valley with good southern sky exposure, and the higher elevation means less atmospheric interference with sunlight. Hinton receives sufficient solar radiation for systems to achieve full payback within 8–10 years. Our free assessment includes a detailed shade and production analysis specific to your property.
We strongly recommend battery backup for Hinton homeowners. The mountain-adjacent location means occasional grid disruptions from high winds, heavy snow, and wildfire-related power management. An EP Cube battery system provides automatic backup power in under 20 milliseconds, keeping your home running during outages. Solar panels recharge the battery during the day, providing extended backup capability during multi-day outages.
