Solar Installations in Edmonton

Yes. Every system listed and photographed on this page was designed, permitted and installed by Greenamp on an Edmonton property, and the equipment shown is what was actually commissioned. Nothing here is stock photography or a manufacturer rendering. We publish the panel model, the inverter model and the panel count so the claim is checkable rather than decorative.

On this list the residential systems cluster between 5 kW and 14.4 kW, which is roughly 13 to 32 modules. Two things set the number: how much unshaded roof faces somewhere between east and west, and the size of the existing electrical service. The service is the harder limit — a 100-amp panel constrains a system well before the roof runs out of room. Commercial roofs are a different conversation entirely; the two on this page are 67.12 kW and 130.5 kW.

It comes down to the roof, not the budget. A clean roof with one or two large faces suits a SolarEdge string inverter with per-panel optimisers — that is what most of the systems on this page use, a 6 kW unit on smaller arrays and a 7.6 kW Hub above about 10 kW. A roof chopped into several small faces, or one where a chimney or a neighbour’s spruce shades part of it through the low winter sun, does better on APsystems DS3-L microinverters, one per panel, so a shaded module does not hold back the rest. The 6.5 kW system on this list is built that way.

The install itself is usually one to two days on the roof for a residential system this size. The calendar time is dominated by two queues we do not control: EPCOR’s microgeneration application, which goes in before anything is mounted, and EPCOR’s meter change after the electrical inspection passes. The system is not legally allowed to produce until that meter swap happens. Plan on several weeks end to end and treat anyone quoting you a same-week turnaround with suspicion.

Ask us and we will try to arrange it. We will not hand out a homeowner’s address without asking them first, so it depends on who in your part of the city is willing — but with sixteen documented Edmonton systems and a lot more that predate this page, there is usually someone in a similar neighbourhood on a similar roof. A drive-by of a finished array tells you more about flashing and racking neatness than any brochure will.

Much the same, which is the point of photographing them. The modules are rated to IEC 61215 for hail and load, the racking is engineered for snow load, and a panel at a normal Edmonton roof pitch sheds snow on its own once the sun gets to it — glass is slicker than shingles. What matters more than the panels is the flashing at every roof penetration, because that is what leaks if it is done carelessly. Look closely at the mounting detail in these photographs; that is the part a homeowner cannot inspect from the ground later.

Yes. Greenamp is based in Nisku, just south of the city, and most of our volume is the Edmonton region — Sherwood Park and Strathcona County, St. Albert, Sturgeon County, Beaumont and Leduc. Those towns are FortisAlberta rather than EPCOR, so the utility paperwork differs even though the install does not. We also work in Calgary, Airdrie, Red Deer and the Okanagan.
