We are a Tesla Certified installer - factory-trained, warranty-backed, and experienced with Alberta's climate and electrical requirements.
Every permanent battery installation includes an automatic transfer switch (ATS) or Backup Interface Unit (BUI). When the grid fails, this device isolates your home from the utility in milliseconds and transfers your backed-up circuits to battery power. When the grid returns, it reconnects automatically.
All equipment we install is UL and CSA approved, meeting the safety standards required by Alberta electrical code. Our installations are CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) compliant, and every project is permitted and inspected.
As a Master Electrician-led company, we handle the complete electrical scope in-house. No subcontracted electrical work, no grey areas on code compliance.
When the grid goes down, your battery kicks in automatically. No noise, no fumes, no manual startup. Your lights stay on, your fridge keeps running, and your family stays comfortable.
The right backup strategy depends on your priorities, budget, and how much of your home you need to keep running during an outage.
Your entire electrical panel is backed up. Every circuit, every outlet, every appliance runs on battery power during an outage. Requires higher battery capacity and a larger transfer switch, but provides complete peace of mind.
Selected essential circuits are backed up through a dedicated sub-panel. You choose what matters most: lights, fridge, internet, furnace fan, medical devices. More affordable and extends battery runtime significantly.
Even a single battery unit can keep your most critical loads running for hours. Add solar and your backup can last indefinitely.
Keep your home lit during extended outages
Protect food and medication that require cold storage

Power CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, and more
Keep working through outages without interruption
Reduce demand charges, protect critical operations, and optimize solar generation with commercial-scale battery storage designed around your utility data.
Protect perishable inventory and maintain production lines during outages. Battery systems keep compressors and critical equipment running when the grid fails.
Dock doors, lighting, security systems, and climate control stay operational. Avoid costly spoilage and shipping delays caused by power interruptions.
Keep POS systems, refrigeration, lighting, and HVAC running during outages. Maintain customer experience and avoid lost revenue from forced closures.
Mission-critical uptime for server rooms, network equipment, and communication infrastructure. Battery backup provides instant failover without generator startup delay.
Community centres, water treatment, emergency shelters, and municipal buildings benefit from resilient power that operates silently and without fuel.
Temporary or permanent battery installations for sites without reliable grid access. Pair with solar for fully off-grid operations.
Battery storage delivers measurable financial returns through three primary mechanisms, each designed to reduce your operating costs.
Commercial electricity bills in Alberta include demand charges based on your highest 15-minute power draw each month. Battery storage reduces these peaks by discharging stored energy during high-demand periods, directly lowering your monthly bill. For many businesses, demand charges represent 30 to 50 percent of total electricity costs.
When the grid goes down, your battery system activates within milliseconds. Unlike generators, there is no startup delay, no fuel logistics, no noise, and no emissions. Critical operations stay online while non-essential loads can be shed automatically to extend runtime.
If your facility has solar panels, battery storage lets you capture excess daytime generation and use it during evening peaks or overnight. This maximizes your solar self-consumption rate and reduces the amount of energy you purchase from the grid at higher rates.
We don't guess at system sizing. Every commercial battery project starts with a detailed analysis of your utility tariff and interval data to ensure the system delivers measurable ROI.
We analyze 12 months of interval data from your utility to understand your consumption patterns, demand peaks, and rate structure.
We map your current tariff to identify where demand charges, time-of-use rates, and rider charges create the biggest cost-saving opportunities.
Based on your data, we size the battery system to target the specific peaks and patterns that deliver the best return on investment.
We build a detailed financial model showing projected savings, payback period, and ROI over the system lifetime, including any applicable incentives.
You receive a complete proposal with system design, projected performance, financial analysis, and installation timeline for review.
Commercial battery installations are complex electrical projects. They involve high-voltage DC systems, switchgear, automatic transfer switches, and integration with existing electrical infrastructure. This is not a job for a solar company that subcontracts electrical work.
Flux Renewables is led by a Master Electrician with over 20 years of commercial electrical experience. Every commercial battery project is designed, managed, and installed by our in-house team. One company, one point of accountability, from utility data analysis through commissioning and ongoing support.
A Tesla Powerwall 3 installed in Calgary typically costs between $15,000 and $20,000 including installation, permits, and the automatic transfer switch. The exact price depends on your electrical panel configuration and whether you need a sub-panel for backup circuits.
Technically yes, but it is rarely cost-effective for urban homes in Calgary. Most clients choose a grid-tied system with battery backup, which gives you power during outages while still earning export credits. We design systems for both full-home and partial-home backup.
A single Tesla Powerwall 3 stores 13.5 kWh of energy. For essential loads like lights, fridge, internet, and a few outlets, it typically lasts 12 to 24 hours. With solar panels recharging the battery during the day, backup can last indefinitely during extended outages.
No. Battery systems can be installed standalone and charge from the grid during off-peak hours. However, pairing with solar gives you the ability to recharge your battery for free during outages and maximize your energy independence.
AC-coupled batteries like the Tesla Powerwall connect to your existing electrical panel and work with any solar inverter. DC-coupled batteries connect directly to your solar panels before the inverter, which can be slightly more efficient but requires compatible equipment. We install both types.
Most residential battery installations are completed in one day. If a sub-panel or automatic transfer switch is needed for whole-home backup, it may take an additional half day. We handle all permits and inspections.
