Solar, done by the book.
A garrison-and-ranching town respects a job done right the first time. We run every Wainwright install like a field manual — the same kit, the same checklist, the same standard on every roof and every quarter. LONGi panels, EP Cube batteries for the outages, master-electrician work, and full net metering whether your lines are Fortis or the co-op's.
The prairie holds plenty of sun.
Out on the Battle River prairie the sky is big and the land is flat — good ground for solar. Wainwright banks over 2,300 hours of sunshine a year, on par with Edmonton, and the long summer days run an array well past supper. Cold helps rather than hurts, since panels convert more efficiently the colder they get.
The deciding factor is the invoice. Rural power costs more to deliver than city power, so every kilowatt-hour your own roof makes is worth more in Wainwright than the same panel would save in Edmonton.
Know who holds your wires.
It's the detail outside installers miss. In the Town of Wainwright your distribution utility is FortisAlberta — not ATCO. Out on the ranches and farms of the MD, the lines often belong to Battle River Power Coop, a member-owned rural co-op. Net metering runs the same on either; you just file through whoever owns your service.
Owns the poles and meter on town lots — your micro-generation hookup goes through Fortis.
Member-owned co-op serving many farms and ranches — we file your application with them.
Same kit, every job.
No mystery hardware and no corner-cutting. Every Wainwright install ships with the same proven kit and the same paperwork handled for you:
- LONGi 500W tier-1 panels
- APsystems DS3 microinverters
- Critter guard around the array
- Panel-level monitoring app
- Optional EP Cube battery backup
- Master-electrician install & permits
- 25-yr product / 30-yr production
- Lifetime leak-proof roof guarantee
Priced in the open.
Cash runs $2.80 a watt on a typical build, a little more per watt on the smallest systems where fixed costs ride on fewer panels. Every quote is sized to your real twelve months of bills; zero-down Financeit, a mortgage roll-in and HELOC options are all open.
| System | Output | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| 5 kW | ~6,000 kWh/yr | $16–20k |
| 7.5 kW | ~9,000 kWh/yr | ~$21k |
| 10 kW | ~12,000 kWh/yr | ~$28k |
| 15 kW+ ground-mount | ~18,000+ kWh/yr | $42k+ |
Power that stays up when the grid won't.
Rural lines around Wainwright go down more often and for longer than city ones — winter storms, prairie wind, the odd summer system. Solar on its own shuts off in an outage for safety; solar with an EP Cube battery keeps the house running. The cutover is automatic, under 20 milliseconds, so heat, water, fridge and freezer never miss a beat — on a ranch or in town.

What homeowners say.
The company actually called us after two years just to check if everything was still working properly.
So thrilled with this company! Our system was installed over a year ago and it was the best decision we ever made. We used to pay $600–$800 in bills, but now we pay nothing to the utility company!
The quality was good at a reasonable price. My house looks more advanced, and it really makes a difference in appearance.
