At the foot of the Rockies,
the sun still pays.
Gateway to David Thompson Country, where the prairie folds into foothills. We install LONGi solar, EP Cube batteries and EV chargers across Rocky and Clearwater County — master electricians who'll sort out whether your power runs through FortisAlberta or the Blue Mountain co-op.
Foothills weather, honest numbers.
Let's be straight: Rocky sees a few more clouds and a bit more snow than the open prairie to the east. It also sits in a transitional zone with strong, high-angle summer sun, and Alberta's cold makes panels run more efficiently than they do in the heat. The result is real, bankable production — we size honestly for the local climate instead of a brochure, and net metering banks the long-day summer surplus against winter.
Long high-angle summer days drive the bulk of the year's production, even with a few more cloudy days than the prairie.
Panels run more efficiently in the cold — clear, crisp foothills days are some of the most productive of the year.
Pair solar with an EP Cube battery and a county outage from wind or a downed tree doesn't take the house with it.
What rural owners say.
Up to this point we would highly recommend Stellar Upgrades if you are considering solar panels. Their whole team have been amazing and professional.
Their commitment to quality, customer service, and transparency truly sets them apart.
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.
Two grids, one town.
Rocky is one of the few places where your neighbour might be on a different utility than you. It changes who fits your meter and who we file your micro-generation paperwork with — so the first thing we do is confirm which grid you're on.
FortisAlberta
Most homes inside Rocky Mountain House are on FortisAlberta, the standard central-Alberta distributor. They fit your bi-directional meter, and your net-metering credits run under the provincial Micro-Generation Regulation — kWh-for-kWh, banked up to 12 months.
Blue Mountain Power Co-op
Many acreages in Clearwater County are members of the Blue Mountain Power Co-op, the member-owned rural electrification association running here since 1952. Micro-generation still works the same way — the application just goes through the co-op. We handle it either way.
Solar, storage, self-reliance.
Solar Panels
LONGi panels + APsystems DS3 microinverters, rooftop or ground-mount. From $2.80/W cash, sized honestly for foothills production.
Solar details →Battery Backup
EP Cube whole-home battery. Under-20ms switchover keeps the well pump, furnace and freezer running through a Clearwater County outage.
Battery details →EV Chargers
Wallbox Pulsar Plus, 40A ($3,499) or 48A ($3,999) installed. Charge the truck off your own roof, miles from the nearest station.
EV charger details →Town, county, and the corridor.
In town or well off the highway — here's how Rocky and Clearwater County break down for solar.
In town — Rocky Mountain House
Established neighbourhoods and newer subdivisions, on FortisAlberta. Rooftop installs here are mostly simple, predictable jobs.
Acreages around town
Many are members of the Blue Mountain Power Co-op, with open ground that suits a ground-mount. We confirm your utility before we design.
Caroline, Leslieville & Condor
County hamlets south and east — farm and acreage properties with room for a ground-mount sized to a shop or barn.
Nordegg & the David Thompson corridor
Remote places west on Highway 11 toward the mountains, where solar paired with a battery genuinely earns its keep.

Foothills questions, straight.
Where the facts come from.
Don't take our word for it — here's where Rocky's utilities, net metering and permit rules actually come from.
Energy independence,
foothills edition.
Free 15-minute assessment. If it doesn't add up out here, you'll get that answer straight.
The free assessment takes in your electrical panel and wiring on site, your roof's condition and orientation, and wraps up with a custom system design — zero obligation.
