Are Solar Panels Worth it in Edmonton?
You bet! Edmonton is one of the sunniest places in Canada. On average Edmonton receives 2,299 hours of bright sunshine per year and during the summer, we get up to 17 hours of daylight! That means with your solar panels, you can generate lots of solar energy in Edmonton. And, each kWh you generate reduces your electrical bills and helps to fight climate change.
Top 5 Reasons You Should Choose Solar Panel Installation in Edmonton
Energy Savings: Edmonton is one of the sunniest places in Canada and solar panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills. During peak solar energy months, your electricity provider might end up owing you!
Environmental Benefits: With solar energy, you decrease your use of electricity generated by burning fossil fuels. This reduces your carbon footprint and contributes to a cleaner environment.
Government Incentives: You can get up to $40,000 on a 10-year interest-free Greener Homes Loan from the Government of Canada. As of 2024, Edmonton’s Clean Energy Improvement Program also offers solar financing options. Check Solar Alberta for the latest Federal, Provincial, and Municipal incentives.
Energy Independence: Solar panels reduce your reliance on utility companies and volatile electricity prices.
Increased Property Value: Homes in Edmonton with solar panels have higher resale values, making it a wise investment for homeowners looking to boost property values.

What is different about going solar in Edmonton
In Edmonton the wires owner is EPCOR, so the micro-generation application goes to EPCOR rather than to your electricity retailer, and the electrical permit is a City of Edmonton permit pulled by the contractor doing the work. We do both as part of the job.
EPCOR swaps in a bi-directional meter after the work passes inspection. A finished system cannot export until that happens, so ask any installer where that sits in their schedule.
Edmonton roofs run a steeper mix of orientations than the Calgary norm, and snow load and winter shading matter more here than they do further south. That is a design question, not a sales question, and it should show up in your proposal.
Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Fort Saskatchewan, Beaumont, Leduc and Spruce Grove sit outside EPCOR territory in places, which means a different wires owner and a different application. We confirm that before we quote.
Our completed work around Edmonton
This is the part no other city page can copy. Every install below has its own page with the system size in kilowatts and the share of the home’s electricity use it offsets: 16 Edmonton projects, plus 10 in Beaumont, 6 in Leduc, 3 in Sherwood Park, and the Glenridding community project that powers 29 homes. Read the numbers, then compare them to what other installers put in writing.
Head office is in Nisku, about 20 minutes south of south Edmonton, so our crews are local rather than flying in. If you want to see a system close to your neighbourhood before you decide, ask and we will point you at the nearest one.
Frequently Asked Questions about Solar Panels in Edmonton
In this FAQ, we address common questions about solar panels in Edmonton and Alberta. From understanding the costs and savings potential to exploring financing options and the impact on home values, we aim to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about transitioning to solar energy.
-
Most residential systems in Edmonton run between $10,000 and $30,000 before incentives. Size and roof type set the baseline; the variable that catches Edmonton homeowners out is the electrical service. A lot of housing inside the Henday predates 1980 and still runs a 60 or 100 amp panel, which often has to be upgraded before a solar breaker can be added. We price that in up front rather than discovering it on install day.
-
The City of Edmonton runs the Clean Energy Improvement Program, which lets you finance solar against your property rather than personally and repay it through your property tax bill. The federal Canada Greener Homes Loan is also open. Incentives move around, so we confirm what is actually available the day we quote you.
-
Three things: your most recent electricity bill showing your annual kWh, a photo of your electrical panel with the cover on, and your address. EPCOR is the wires owner in Edmonton no matter which retailer you buy power from, so your bill tells us both your consumption and the interconnection path.
-
Edmonton sits at about 53 degrees north, which means long, productive summer days and very short winter ones. Under Alberta's Micro-generation Regulation your system is sized to meet your own annual consumption, so we work back from the kWh figure on your bill rather than from roof space.
-
Often, in the mature neighbourhoods. A 100 amp panel with no spare double-pole slots cannot take a solar breaker, and a 60 amp service almost never can. We check this from your panel photo before quoting, and if an upgrade is needed we price it in rather than surprising you later.
-
December and January are the weakest months: a low sun angle, roughly seven hours of daylight and snow sitting on the array. Edmonton makes it back between March and September, when the days are long and cold, clear conditions actually help panel efficiency. Systems are designed against the annual number, not the January one.
-
An owned, permitted system with documentation reads to an Edmonton buyer the way a new furnace does. Leased systems, and systems with a lien registered against the title, complicate a sale. We install owned systems and hand over permits and as-builts so your realtor has something to show.

Two parallel tracks. An electrical permit from the City of Edmonton, and a micro-generation application to EPCOR as the wires owner. EPCOR reviews the interconnection and changes the meter once the inspection passes. We pull the permit and file the EPCOR application; you sign one form. Our full quoting, permitting and project management process is set out on our solar panel installation page.
