Common Questions

Straight answers.

A residential solar panel system in Edmonton typically costs between $14,000 and $50,000 before financing, depending on system size. Most Edmonton homes need a 6–12 kW system, which translates to 12–24 LONGi 500W panels. The installed cost in Alberta ranges from approximately $2.80 to $3.10 per watt, which is competitive with the national average. With $0-down financing at 6.99% over 20 years, monthly payments are usually less than the electricity bill they replace. Cash buyers receive a 10% discount on system cost, and CEIP (Clean Energy Improvement Program) allows financing through property taxes with no credit check.
Yes — Alberta is one of the best provinces in Canada for solar energy. Edmonton receives over 2,300 hours of sunshine per year, more than Toronto or Vancouver. Cold temperatures actually improve solar panel efficiency because photovoltaic cells produce more power at lower temperatures. Modern panels like the LONGi Hi-MO 7 are engineered for -40°C and rated for 90 PSF snow loads and 180 mph winds. In winter months, solar production drops but net metering credits banked during summer offset winter usage, often resulting in $0 annual electricity cost for properly sized systems.
Alberta's net metering program (formally called micro-generation) allows homeowners with solar panels to send surplus electricity back to the grid in exchange for credits on their utility bill. During summer when your panels produce more than you use, the excess flows backward through your meter and you receive a kilowatt-hour credit for every kilowatt-hour exported. These credits roll over month to month and can be used during winter when production is lower. The program is available through all Alberta utilities including ENMAX, EPCOR, and ATCO, with no additional application fee. Systems must be under 5 MW and installed by a licensed electrician. Most Stellar Upgrades customers achieve 80–100% annual electricity offset through net metering.
The typical payback period for a residential solar system in Alberta is 7–10 years, depending on system size, electricity consumption, and financing method. Cash purchases pay back faster (7–8 years) since there are no interest costs. After payback, the system produces free electricity for the remaining 20+ years of its warranty life. With Alberta's deregulated electricity market and rates increasing approximately 5–8% annually, the value of solar increases every year as the cost of grid electricity rises while your solar production cost stays fixed at $0.
Alberta does not currently offer a provincial solar rebate, but several programs reduce the cost. The federal Canada Greener Homes Grant offered up to $5,000 for solar but has ended — check for successor programs. The Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) is available in participating municipalities including Edmonton, allowing you to finance solar through your property tax bill with no credit check and the loan transfers if you sell your home. Some municipalities offer additional incentives. The most significant financial benefit comes from net metering, which effectively eliminates your electricity bill. Stellar Upgrades periodically offers rebates — currently a $2,000 limited-time rebate is available.
Stellar Upgrades installs LONGi Hi-MO 7 500W panels (30-year linear performance warranty, 22.9% efficiency, N-type bifacial), APsystems DS3 microinverters (25-year warranty, 97% efficiency, panel-level monitoring via the EMA app), and RT-MINI II self-flashing mounts by Yanegiken (ICC-ESR 3575 certified, 180 mph wind rating, lifetime leak-proof guarantee). For battery backup, we install the EP Cube system with automatic switchover in under 20 milliseconds. For EV charging, we install the Wallbox Pulsar Plus. All components are chosen specifically for Alberta's extreme climate conditions.
Stellar Upgrades employs 8 in-house electricians supervised by a Master Electrician — we never subcontract. Both co-founders (PJ Singh and Jordan Walsh) are personally involved in every project. We've completed over 500 installations across Edmonton and Alberta since 2018 with a 5.0-star Google rating and zero negative reviews. We decline approximately 10% of assessments when the math doesn't work for the homeowner — if solar won't save you money, we'll tell you before you sign anything. We use only premium Tier-1 equipment with warranties of 25–30 years.
Stellar Upgrades installs APsystems DS3 microinverters rather than string inverters because each panel operates independently. With a string inverter, shade on one panel reduces output across the entire string. With microinverters, shade on one panel only affects that panel — the rest continue producing at full capacity. Microinverters also provide panel-level monitoring through the EMA app, rapid shutdown compliance for fire safety, and no single point of failure. Over the life of the system, microinverters typically produce 5–15% more energy than string inverters in real-world conditions. The DS3 carries a 25-year product warranty.
Standard grid-tied solar systems shut off automatically during power outages — this is a safety requirement under the Canadian Electrical Code to protect utility workers. To maintain power during outages, you need a battery backup system. Stellar Upgrades offers the Elite Backup package with the EP Cube battery, which provides whole-home backup with automatic switchover in under 20 milliseconds. The battery charges from your solar panels during the day and powers your home through outages. This is increasingly popular in Alberta where severe weather events can cause extended outages.
Not with proper installation. Stellar Upgrades uses the RT-MINI II self-flashing mount by Yanegiken, which uses AlphaSeal butyl flashing that self-adheres around wood screws — no pilot holes and no shingle damage. The mount is ICC-ESR 3575 certified, rated for 180 mph winds and 90 PSF snow loads. Your existing roof warranty stays intact. We include critter guards on every installation to prevent animals from nesting under the panels. Stellar Upgrades provides a lifetime leak-proof guarantee on every roof mount installation. If your roof is over 20 years old, we'll advise whether it should be replaced before adding solar.
Yes — squirrels, birds, and other animals will nest in the gap between your roof and the solar panels, chewing wiring, blocking airflow, and causing damage or fire risk. Stellar Upgrades includes a heavy-duty galvanized wire mesh critter guard on every installation at no extra cost. This clips to the panel frame and seals the full perimeter. For homeowners who want a cleaner, more premium look, our Premium package includes SolaTrim — a completely separate product. SolaTrim is a powder-coated aluminum trim that snaps flush to the panel edge, creating a solid barrier with no visible mesh. It gives the array a polished, finished appearance while also improving airflow management. In Alberta, where squirrels and magpies are particularly aggressive, critter protection is essential regardless of which option you choose.
