Farm and Acreage Solar Installations
Real Greenamp systems on Alberta farms and acreages
Fourteen farm and acreage systems we’ve built
These are systems Greenamp designed, permitted and installed on farms and acreages in Sturgeon, Leduc, Strathcona and Lamont counties and near Irma. They run from 9.3 kW to 32 kW. Most sit on open ground or on a barn or shop roof, not the house. Every one was installed by our own Red Seal electricians, with a Master Electrician on site.
What these systems have in common
On a farm or acreage, the best spot for panels is often not the house. It’s open ground with no shade, or a barn or shop roof that faces south, east or west. Twelve of the fourteen systems here are on the ground or on a barn or shop.
A ground mount costs more to build than a roof. In return, we can set the angle for winter sun and snow, and keep panels off buildings that see dust and moisture. Three of these systems use APsystems microinverters, so one shaded panel doesn’t pull down the rest.

How a farm install runs
The photos show the finished system. Here is what happens before that, from the first site visit to switching on.
Site visit. We check your electrical service (single phase or three phase), the transformer, how far the site is from your meter, and how much life your roofs have left.
Design from your bills. Alberta’s rules size a system to what the site used in a year, so we design from twelve months of your bills.
Utility application. In rural Alberta the lines are often FortisAlberta, ATCO or a rural electrification association. We prepare and submit the application.
Permits and install. We pull the permits. Our own crew does the install. Screw piles for ground mounts are the one outside trade, arranged as part of the job.
Inspection and meter change. The electrical inspection comes first. Then the utility swaps in a meter that measures both ways, and the system can start producing.

Questions we get about farm and acreage solar
Straight answers to what farmers and acreage owners ask us most.
-
Yes. Every photo on this page is a Greenamp job, taken on site. No stock photos and no manufacturer renderings.
-
Shop and barn roofs are usually the lowest cost spot, if they face south, east or west and the roof has plenty of life left. A ground mount costs more, but we can set the angle for winter sun and snow. We can price both so you can compare.
-
Screw piles can’t go in when the ground is frozen, so ground mount site work waits for spring. Winter is still a good time to start. The site visit, design and utility application can all be done before the ground thaws.
-
About one to three months. The utility’s review is usually the longest step. We book site work around seeding, harvest and calving.
-
Yes. We work across Alberta and travel five hours or more for farm and acreage jobs. Our shop is in Nisku.

“I chose GreenAmp Solar to install my home solar system after obtaining over 25 quotes from solar companies serving the Edmonton area. Although GreenAmp may not be as well-known as some other companies, their attention to detail, friendliness, quoting process, and total value were hands-down better than any other company I contacted.”
Chris | GreenAmp Customer | Edmonton
"Through the entire process, the team at GreenAmp did an amazing job, from talking through the process to the install to ensuring everything was done to our liking. The team was professional through the process and did a great job getting us green."
THE GREENAMP PROCESS
From the proposal to commissioning and after, we’re here to help. Once your system is producing its own Greenamps, you can sign up for the Solar Club and Carbon Offset programs.

Two things, and we handle both. We pull the electrical permit under our licence before work starts. We also submit the micro generation application to the company that owns your lines, often FortisAlberta, ATCO or a rural electrification association. The system can’t produce until that is approved and the meter is changed.
