Harvest the roof, not just the field.
Killam has always made its living off what the land yields. A roof — or a quarter of open Flagstaff ground — is just one more crop waiting to come in. We turn the long Battle River days into power: rooftop and farm ground-mount solar on FortisAlberta and Battle River co-op net metering, with master-electrician installs.
Why
The land already pays here.
Flagstaff County gives solar exactly what it wants — flat, open, unshaded ground and long Battle River summer days. Killam's roofs and quarters see strong production, and the cold is a friend, not a foe: panels work more efficiently the colder they get, so a clear January day still brings something in.
The figure that settles it is the power bill. It costs more to push electricity down a rural line than a city one, so each kilowatt-hour you grow on your own roof is worth more in Killam than the same panel would save in Edmonton.
Cost
Priced like a fair bushel.
Straight figures, no shrinkage. The cash rate is $2.80 a watt on a typical build, edging up a little per watt on the smallest systems where the fixed costs ride on fewer panels. We size every quote against your real twelve months of power bills.
Pay
Bring it in your own way.
Cash takes the best price, but you needn't have it on hand. Whichever way you settle up, the system is yours, and a critter guard plus a lifetime leak-proof roof guarantee are baked into every job.
The $2.80/W rate — least paid over the life of it, quickest return.
Financeit with nothing up front; the payment usually slips under your old bill.
Tuck it into a mortgage refinance or a HELOC at the cheapest rate you'll find.
Wires
Two outfits hold the lines.
Worth knowing before anyone quotes you. Inside Killam the poles and your meter are FortisAlberta's. Roll out past the town sign onto a Flagstaff quarter and odds are you're a Battle River Power Coop member instead — the farmer-owned co-op that's wired this country since the 1940s. We sort out which one serves your address and file with the right one.
Owns the poles and meter on Killam town lots.
The member-owned co-op wiring most of Flagstaff's farms.
Net metering runs the same on either: a two-way meter, a credit for every kilowatt-hour you send out, carried up to twelve months. The retail side is open, so keep whichever power retailer you've got.

Add-ons
Battery & EV, briefly.
Open country catches the weather, and rural lines drop more often than city ones — wind, snow load, the odd summer cell. Solar on its own powers down in an outage for safety; with an EP Cube battery the place keeps running, switching over inside 20 milliseconds.
Whole-home backup that holds through the outage and stores the day's sun for night.
A 40A or 48A charger — run the half-ton on your own power, not the pump.
What homeowners say.
They even called us a year after install just to check on the system.
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.
The quality was good at a reasonable price. My house looks more advanced, and it really makes a difference in appearance.
