Installing across Alberta

Each city has different CEIP terms, utility specifics, and engineering requirements. We have pages dedicated to the details for each.

What we install

From rooftops to ground-mounts, residential to commercial, we design and install systems that perform.

Residential Solar

Own your power

Alberta's microgeneration program lets homeowners generate their own electricity and earn credits for every kilowatt-hour exported to the grid.

01

Microgeneration in Alberta

Under Alberta’s Micro-Generation Regulation, homeowners can install solar panels and connect to the grid as a micro-generator. Your system produces electricity during the day, powering your home directly and reducing what you draw from the grid.

02

Export Credits at $0.35/kWh

Any surplus energy your panels produce is automatically exported to the grid. You receive a credit of $0.35 per kWh on your utility bill for every kilowatt-hour exported, offsetting your consumption charges.

03

Net Billing

At the end of each billing period, your export credits are applied against your consumption. Many of our clients see negative bills in their first year, meaning the utility owes them money.

Full-Service Installation

What's included

Every Flux Renewables installation is a full-service experience from first call to final activation.

Remote Assessment

We evaluate your roof orientation, shading, structural capacity, and electrical panel remotely using satellite imagery, aerial data, and photos you share. No on-site visit needed to get a detailed quote. If anything needs eyes on it, we schedule a visit after you commit, which keeps our pricing lean.

Custom System Design

Satellite-based 3D modelling with panel-level production estimates tailored to your specific roof and energy consumption patterns.

Permits & Approvals

We handle all municipal permits, electrical permits, and utility interconnection applications so you don’t have to.

Professional Installation

Our crews install your system in one to two days with minimal disruption. All work is performed to CEC and Alberta electrical code standards.

Inspections

We coordinate all required electrical and building inspections and ensure your system passes on the first visit.

Utility Activation

We submit your interconnection paperwork and coordinate with your retailer to activate your micro-generation account.

Monitoring Setup

We configure your monitoring platform so you can track production, consumption, and export credits in real time from your phone.

How It Works

Your utility bill becomes your investment

Instead of paying your utility company every month, a solar system lets you generate your own electricity. Any surplus power you produce is exported to the grid, earning you a credit of $0.35 per kWh on your bill.

Under Alberta's net billing program, your meter tracks what you consume and what you export. At the end of each billing period, your export credits are applied against your consumption charges, significantly reducing or eliminating your electricity costs.

Home Consumption650 kWh

Export Credit$99.00

Frequently asked questions

Most residential installations are completed in one to two days. Commercial projects vary depending on system size, but typically take one to three weeks from start to finish.

Alberta has excellent solar irradiance year-round. While winter days are shorter, the cold temperatures actually improve panel efficiency. Snow generally slides off quickly due to panel angle and dark surface.

Payback depends on the type of system. Residential solar typically pays for itself in about 6 to 9 years through utility savings and export credits. Commercial systems benefit from the 30% federal ITC and accelerated CCA, which can bring payback down to 5 years or less.

South-facing roofs produce the most energy, but east and west-facing roofs still perform very well. We use satellite imagery and modeling software to design the optimal layout for your specific roof.

Standard grid-tied solar systems shut down during outages for safety reasons. If you want backup power, we can pair your solar system with a battery to keep essential circuits running.

The Clean Energy Improvement Program provides financing of up to $1,000,000 for solar installations in participating Alberta municipalities. The financing is repaid through your property tax bill over terms of up to 20 years with no upfront capital.
