Solar, Monitoring & Farm Ground-Mount · Olds

In a town that runs on data,
so does your solar.

Home of Olds College and its Smart Farm, Olds already speaks the language of sensors and yield. We install LONGi solar with per-panel monitoring, EP Cube batteries and farm-scale ground-mount across Mountain View County — master electricians, tied into FortisAlberta net metering.

Your roof, on a dashboard

Solar you can actually watch work.

Olds College built a 3,300-acre Smart Farm on a simple idea: you manage what you measure. We build solar the same way. Every panel sits on its own APsystems microinverter, so you don't just get power — you get a live, per-panel readout on your phone. This is the kind of data you'll see from day one.

The team was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. They made switching to solar feel simple and stress-free.

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.

I had solar panels installed on my home last month by Stellar Upgrades and I’m honestly impressed with how everything turned out.

Beyond the rooftop

Farm & acreage solar around Olds.

Mountain View County runs on agriculture, and a shop, barn, irrigation pivot or grain dryer can pull more power than the house ever will. On rangeland and acreages around Olds, a ground-mount array is often the better build — angled for ideal exposure, sized to offset the whole operation, and easy to expand as you electrify equipment.

We design farm systems the way Olds College thinks about a field: measured, right-sized, and built to perform for decades, not seasons. Whether it's a town rooftop or a quarter-section yard, you get the same in-house master electricians and the same per-panel monitoring.

Olds & Mountain View County

Where we work around Olds.

In town or out on the section roads — here's how the area maps out for rooftop and ground-mount solar.

01 / In town

The college district & central core

Established homes around Olds College and downtown. Most of this housing stock makes for a simple, tidy rooftop install.

02 / In town

Newer subdivisions

Clean, simple rooflines on the town's edges — some of the easiest roofs in Olds to design a larger system around.

03 / County

Netook & the county edges

Acreages east and north of town with open ground — ideal for ground-mount and farm-scale arrays.

04 / County

Eagle Hill, Bowden & Didsbury

Mountain View County land and corridor neighbours, where a shop, barn or irrigation load is what a ground-mount offsets.

Olds questions

What Olds homeowners ask.

Your distribution utility in Olds and Mountain View County is FortisAlberta. Under Alberta's Micro-Generation Regulation, Fortis installs a bi-directional meter and credits every surplus kWh you export kWh-for-kWh, banked up to 12 months toward winter. One detail that matters on acreages: net metering is tied to a specific service (meter), so if your shop or barn is on its own FortisAlberta account, it's treated as its own micro-gen site. We map your meters at the assessment and design so the right loads sit behind the array.
Rooftop systems in Olds run $2.80/W cash, with the typical home landing at 7–8 kW. Drop below that — 3–6 kW — and the per-watt price climbs, since a job's fixed costs are split among fewer panels; budget roughly $16,000–$20,000 for a 5 kW array. Farm and ground-mount builds that offset a shop or irrigation scale to $40,000–$50,000+. The cash route bundles in critter guards plus the lifetime leak-proof roof guarantee, or you can finance $0-down through Financeit at a modest markup. Every system is sized to your actual bills, not a brochure. Run your numbers →
From your phone. Because every panel runs on its own APsystems microinverter, you get the APsystems EMA app with per-panel, real-time production data — not just a single whole-system number. You can see exactly what each panel is making, catch a shaded or underperforming module instantly, and watch your net-metering credits build over the summer. We monitor the same data remotely, so most issues are spotted and diagnosed before you'd ever notice them.
Absolutely — it's some of our favourite work around Olds. Ground-mount lets us angle the array for ideal southern exposure, size it to offset a shop, barn, dryer or irrigation load on top of the house, and leave room to expand as you electrify equipment. The open rangeland around Olds usually means zero shading. We handle the engineering and the FortisAlberta micro-gen application, and you get the same monitoring and lifetime warranties as a rooftop install. Olds also sits a touch higher than Edmonton, which means a hair more solar irradiance on clear days.
Two main ones, and we handle both. Every install needs an electrical permit, and most need a development permit — from the Town of Olds in town, or Mountain View County on an acreage — confirming the system meets local setback and height rules. We also file the FortisAlberta micro-generation application for your bi-directional meter. You don't chase paperwork: we manage the permits, the inspection and the utility connection end to end.

Olds · Bills & Rates

Why is your Olds power bill so high?

Less than half of a Olds electricity bill is the power you actually used. The rest is delivery — transmission, distribution (including a fixed daily charge), rate riders and the municipal local access fee — none of which you can shop away by switching retailers. Our line-by-line breakdown shows exactly where your money goes in Olds, and the honest version of what rooftop solar zeroes out (the energy charge) versus what it doesn’t (the fixed connection costs).
