From rooftops to ground-mounts, residential to commercial, we design and install systems that perform.
Custom-designed rooftop systems that offset your electricity bill and earn export credits at $0.35/kWh.
Scalable systems for businesses, warehouses, and multi-tenant buildings with accelerated ROI through CCA and ITC.
Ground-mount and rooftop systems for farms and rural properties, including grain dryers, irrigation, and shop loads.
Solar-ready and pre-wired new construction packages. We work directly with your framing and electrical trades.
Alberta's microgeneration program lets homeowners generate their own electricity and earn credits for every kilowatt-hour exported to the grid.
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.
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.
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.
Every Flux Renewables installation is a full-service experience from first call to final activation.
Detailed evaluation of your roof orientation, shading, structural capacity, and electrical panel to determine the optimal system size and layout.
Satellite-based 3D modelling with panel-level production estimates tailored to your specific roof and energy consumption patterns.
We handle all municipal permits, electrical permits, and utility interconnection applications so you don’t have to.
Our crews install your system in one to two days with minimal disruption. All work is performed to CEC and Alberta electrical code standards.
We coordinate all required electrical and building inspections and ensure your system passes on the first visit.
We submit your interconnection paperwork and coordinate with your retailer to activate your micro-generation account.
We configure your monitoring platform so you can track production, consumption, and export credits in real time from your phone.
The Clean Energy Improvement Program lets you finance your commercial solar installation through your property tax bill. No personal guarantee, no upfront capital, and terms up to 20 years.
Because the financing is attached to the property, it stays with the building if you sell. This makes solar a true building upgrade that benefits every future owner.
Commercial solar in Alberta benefits from multiple financial advantages that stack to deliver strong returns.
Offset a significant portion of your electricity consumption with on-site generation. Commercial systems typically reduce utility costs by 40–70% depending on load profile and system size.
Alberta’s pool price spikes during summer months when your system produces the most. Export credits at $0.35/kWh provide meaningful revenue during peak production periods.
The Investment Tax Credit provides a 30% refundable tax credit on the total cost of your solar installation. For a $200,000 system, that’s $60,000 back from the federal government.
Class 43.1 and 43.2 Capital Cost Allowance lets you depreciate the full cost of your solar system in year one, creating an immediate tax deduction that accelerates your return.
Prior to founding Flux Renewables, our team designed and delivered commercial solar installations ranging from 100 kW to 350 kW+ across Alberta. We bring that large-project discipline to every commercial engagement, from structural engineering and electrical design to utility interconnection and commissioning.
Whether you own a single retail location or a portfolio of commercial properties, we have the experience and processes to deliver on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.
From livestock barns to grain processing, solar reduces your largest variable expense and turns idle space into a productive asset.
Large metal roofs on barns and shop buildings are ideal candidates for solar. Offset lighting, ventilation, grain dryers, and equipment loads with panels that produce for 25+ years.
Food processing, packaging, and cold storage facilities consume significant electricity. On-site solar reduces operating costs and improves margins on every unit produced.
Supplemental lighting, heating, and climate control systems drive high electricity bills. Solar offsets these costs and allows year-round production with lower overhead.
If you have unused or marginal land, a ground-mounted solar array can generate revenue through export credits while keeping productive land in operation.
We design and install both roof-mounted and ground-mounted systems to match your property and goals.
Installed on existing barn, shop, or facility roofs using engineered racking systems. No additional land required.
Installed on open land using driven pile or ballasted foundations. Ideal for properties with ample land and limited roof space.
Federal programs make agricultural solar one of the strongest investments available to Canadian farmers.
The Investment Tax Credit provides a 30% refundable tax credit on the total cost of your solar installation. For a $100,000 farm system, that is $30,000 returned to your operation.
Class 43.1/43.2 Capital Cost Allowance lets you write off the full cost of your solar system in year one, creating an immediate tax deduction that reduces your taxable income.
Surplus energy exported to the grid earns you $0.35 per kWh in credits on your utility bill. During long summer days, agricultural systems often export more than they consume.
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.
Roof mounts, ground mounts, commercial, and agricultural - every project custom-designed for the site.
Multiple programs help reduce your upfront cost and accelerate payback.
Export surplus energy to the grid and receive a credit of $0.35/kWh on your utility bill, offsetting your consumption charges.
The federal Investment Tax Credit provides a 30% refundable tax credit on the cost of your solar installation for eligible businesses.
The Clean Energy Improvement Program allows you to finance your solar system through your property taxes at low interest rates.
Businesses can write off the full cost of a solar system in the first year through Class 43.1/43.2 Capital Cost Allowance.
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 7 to 12 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.
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.
