Solar for Alberta barns, shops, greenhouses, and open land. The 30% federal ITC and a year-one write-off take most of the cost out up front.

Illustrative. Your actual credit and write-off depend on your corporate structure and tax position. We build the numbers for your operation before you commit.
Large metal roofs are ideal for solar. Offset lighting, ventilation, grain dryers, and equipment loads for 25+ years.
Packaging and cold storage run hard on electricity. On-site solar cuts operating cost on every unit produced.
Supplemental lighting, heating, and climate control drive high bills. Solar offsets them and supports year-round production.
Marginal or unused land can earn export credits without taking productive acres out of operation.
Installed on existing barn, shop, or facility roofs using engineered racking. No additional land required.
Installed on open land using helical pile or ballasted foundations. Ideal where roof space is limited.
Ground mounts run on Solis inverters with SolisCloud monitoring. See commercial solar →
Alberta’s micro-generation regulation allows systems up to 5 MW. Most agricultural systems range from 20 kW to 200 kW depending on electricity consumption and available space.
Yes. The 30% federal Investment Tax Credit applies first, and the remaining cost basis is eligible for a year-one write-off under Class 43.1/43.2 Capital Cost Allowance. Together they substantially reduce the after-tax cost of the system.
It depends on the site. Ground mounts allow ideal orientation and easy maintenance access but need land and foundations. Roof mounts use space you already have and avoid site work. We model both for your property before recommending one.
Heavy dust and wildfire smoke reduce output temporarily, typically by a modest percentage over a season. Rain generally cleans panels adequately. We size systems using Alberta production data that already reflects real-world conditions.
Yes. We install across Southern and Central Alberta, including acreages and farms well outside city limits. Our crews are in-house and Master Electrician-led on every project.
Send us a recent power bill and we will size a system and show you the after-incentive cost, in writing.
