Solar panels in
Calgary.
Calgary roofs see more sun than almost anywhere in Canada — we model 1,250 kWh per kW per year here, better than Edmonton. We install LONGi solar, EP Cube batteries and EV chargers across Calgary with ENMAX net metering, City of Calgary permits pulled in-house, and a lifetime leak-proof roof guarantee. Head office in Edmonton, crews based out of Red Deer, 90 minutes up the QEII.
More sun. Same regulation. Better bills.
Everything that makes solar work in Alberta works a little harder in Calgary: more annual sun than Edmonton, the same provincial Micro-Generation Regulation and Solar Club rates, and city bills where the non-energy line items run high — which makes the part solar wipes out matter even more.
Calgary is one of Canada's sunniest cities. We design on a conservative 1,250 kWh/kW/yr — slightly ahead of the 1,200 we use in Edmonton — and chinook winds help panels shed snow in the middle of winter.
A bi-directional ENMAX meter credits every exported kWh at your retail rate under Alberta's Micro-Generation Regulation, and Solar Club rate-switching works in Calgary too. We file the interconnection paperwork.
Head office in Edmonton, second office and install crews based in Red Deer — 90 minutes north. Calgary pricing is identical to Edmonton pricing. No travel surcharge, ever.
Calgary vs. Edmonton, honestly.
We've installed in the Edmonton region since 2018, so here's the straight comparison — what changes when the same company, crew and equipment go to work on a Calgary roof, and what doesn't.
| What matters | Calgary | Edmonton (our home base) |
|---|---|---|
| Sun we design on | ~1,250 kWh per kW per year | ~1,200 kWh per kW per year |
| Wires utility | ENMAX in the city; FortisAlberta in the ring | EPCOR in the city; FortisAlberta in the ring |
| Net metering | Identical — the provincial Micro-Generation Regulation credits exports at your retail rate in both cities, and Solar Club rate-switching works in both | |
| CEIP property-tax financing | Active — limited rounds, up to $50,000 | No single-family program |
| Winter snow on panels | Chinooks clear arrays mid-winter | Sheds by tilt and sun; ~3% annual loss |
| Our installed pricing | From $2.80/W cash — identical | From $2.80/W cash |
| Permits & interconnection | City of Calgary + ENMAX, pulled by us | City of Edmonton + EPCOR, pulled by us |
| Crew & site visits | From our Red Deer office, 90 min north | From our Edmonton head office |
Production factors are the same conservative regional numbers used in our public calculator; CEIP status per calgary.ca (rounds are limited — confirm the current round); snow-loss figure from long-term NAIT Edmonton study.
Your quote happens on a screen,

Distance never touches your price or your timeline. The whole assessment happens over Google Meet before anyone drives anywhere — you see your design, your price, your savings and your warranties on screen, and a site visit only happens once the numbers already make sense to you.

Only once the numbers make sense to you do we drive to Calgary — confirm the roof and panel in person, and put one final number in writing.
ENMAX and CEIP, handled.
The two things that make a Calgary install different from an Edmonton one — and what we do about each.
ENMAX Power owns Calgary's wires, and its micro-generation interconnection runs under the same provincial regulation as EPCOR's and FortisAlberta's — paperwork we file every single week. We prepare the application, coordinate the bi-directional meter swap, and check the one genuine Calgary quirk before designing: a small set of inner-city homes sit on the downtown secondary network where grid export isn't permitted. If that's your street, we tell you before you spend a dollar.
Calgary is one of the few Alberta cities with an active Clean Energy Improvement Program: up to $50,000 for solar and energy upgrades, repaid on your property tax bill over up to 20 years. It runs in limited application rounds — the second 2026 residential round opened March 31 — so timing matters. We build every Calgary quote CEIP-ready and walk you through the round calendar at your consult.
Timing tip: Calgary's CEIP rounds fill fast and the next one won't wait for your quote to be ready. If property-tax financing is how you want to pay, start the video consult now — we'll have your CEIP-ready design and numbers finished before the round opens, so you apply on day one instead of joining a waitlist.
Use us as your second opinion.
Calgary has more solar companies than any city in Alberta, and homeowners across the province already use Stellar as the sanity check before they sign. Send us the quote you're holding along with a recent power bill, and on a 20-minute Google Meet we'll tell you straight whether it's a fair deal — on equipment, on price, on warranties. We decline about 10% of our own assessments when the math doesn't work, and if the other company's offer is genuinely good, we'll tell you that too.
What Alberta homeowners say.
They didn’t try to sell me a generic package; instead, they provided a personalized design based on my actual utility bills.
The company actually called us after two years just to check if everything was still working properly.
So thrilled with this company! Our system was installed over a year ago and it was the best decision we ever made.

Calgary, quadrant by quadrant.
From lake communities to the foothills edge, most Calgary rooflines are excellent solar candidates — here's how the city breaks down.
IThe deep south & southeast
Mahogany, Auburn Bay, McKenzie Towne and the newest communities along Stoney Trail — big, modern, simply-shaped roofs that are some of the easiest designs in the city, ideal for 7–15 kW systems that cover the house and an EV.
IIThe northwest
Tuscany, Arbour Lake, Evanston and the ridge communities — more varied rooflines and the odd mature tree, so we run a shading study first and let per-panel microinverters handle the rest.
IIIThe northeast
Saddle Ridge, Skyview Ranch, Redstone — newer, sun-friendly roofs and some of the strongest payback numbers in Calgary thanks to larger households and bigger bills.
IVInner city & established streets
Altadore, Killarney, Lake Bonavista and the mature core — character homes with older roofs get an honest roof-age check first, and we confirm your street isn't on the downtown secondary network before any design work.
