Solar, scoped and signed off.
Edson runs on getting the job done right — forestry, oilfield, rail. We work the same way: a clear scope, an honest estimate off your real bills, and a clean install. Rooftop and acreage ground-mount solar, EP Cube battery backup and EV chargers, all on FortisAlberta net metering and supervised by a Master Electrician.
Good ground for a solar job.
West-central Alberta gives solar plenty to work with: long summer days, wide-open sky on the acreages, and cold, clear winter air that panels actually prefer — they convert more efficiently the colder they run. Edson sees solid year-round sun for a town this far west.
What closes the case is the bill. Rural delivery costs more than city power, so every kilowatt-hour your own roof makes is worth more in Edson than the same panel would save in Edmonton.
An honest line-item estimate.
No mystery pricing. The cash rate's $2.80 a watt on a standard build, with a small per-watt bump on the littlest systems as fixed costs ride on fewer panels. We scope the estimate against your actual twelve months of FortisAlberta billing — no guesswork.
| System | Annual output | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| 5 kW | ~6,000 kWh | $16–20k |
| 7.5 kW | ~9,000 kWh | ~$21k |
| 10 kW | ~12,000 kWh | ~$28k |
| 15 kW+ ground-mount | ~18,000+ kWh | $42k+ |
How you pay for it.
Cash earns the best price, but it's not required up front. Whichever route you take, the system is yours and a critter guard plus a lifetime leak-proof roof guarantee are included.
Pay it out and the meter's your only bill — best price, quickest return.
Financeit covers it with nothing down; the payment usually lands under your old power bill.
Fold it into a mortgage refinance or HELOC for the cheapest money going.
Your utility, and how credits work.
In Edson the distribution lines, the poles and your meter belong to FortisAlberta, and the micro-generation application goes to them. Buying the power itself is separate — the retail market is open, so your retailer stays your call.
The credit side is provincial: FortisAlberta swaps in a two-way meter, pays you back one kWh for every kWh you send out, and carries unused credits a full year — so summer's extra quietly covers the winter draw.
Town and across Yellowhead County.
Town of Edson
Established neighbourhoods and newer builds — Fortis-connected rooftop work on most of the housing stock.
Yellowhead County acreages
Open rural lots ideal for a ground-mount sized to the house, a shop and a well pump together.
Niton Junction, Peers & Wildwood
Communities east along Highway 16 — rooftop in the hamlet, ground-mount on the land.
Marlboro, Bickerdike & the corridor
Acreages and properties west toward Hinton — the same work, the same standard.
Battery & EV, briefly.
Rural west-central lines go down more often than city ones — wind, snow and the occasional summer storm. On its own, solar powers down in an outage for safety; add an EP Cube battery and the place stays lit, switching over inside 20 milliseconds.
Whole-home backup that holds through an outage and saves the day's sun for the evening.
A 40A or 48A unit — run the truck on your own power instead of the pump.
What homeowners say.
Our system was installed over a year ago and it was the best decision we ever made.
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.
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.
