Installer vanished, production dropping, monitoring offline? Or just want to add panels, a battery, or an EV charger to what you already have? Calgary's only Master Electrician-led solar team is here to help.
The last few years of the Alberta solar boom pulled in a wave of sales-first companies. Door knockers. Out-of-province outfits. Builders who bolted solar onto new homes with no plan for ongoing service. A lot of them cut corners, oversold production, and either closed up shop or stopped returning calls the moment the warranty period got inconvenient.
We talk to those homeowners every week. Panels that have never been monitored. Inverters that failed and have been sitting dark for months. Conduit run like spaghetti across visible roof planes. Rodent guard missing entirely. Production that looks nothing like the proposal.
If that sounds like your system, or if you just want to expand a system that was installed well, we are the company you were looking for in the first place. Flux is a Master Electrician-led shop with an in-house crew that does not subcontract and is not going anywhere. Bring us the mess.
If any of these match what you are dealing with, you are in the right place. We have seen every version of this.
Your app stopped working, you were never given login credentials, or the monitoring portal was tied to your original installer’s account and has since been disabled.
Your system is producing noticeably less than the proposal modelled — and when you asked why, you got silence, excuses, or a runaround.
Phone disconnected, emails bounce, no one answers the door. The company has effectively disappeared or been bought by a consolidator that doesn’t respond.
You filed a warranty claim months ago and no one is moving it forward. The manufacturer covers parts, but someone qualified still needs to do the swap.
Exposed conduit, missing rodent guard, loose racking, unprofessional penetrations, or trim that is already failing after a few Alberta winters.
Your original installer won’t return your call, or they proposed an expansion that doesn’t match your actual needs or budget.
We do the work most solar companies will not. If your system was installed by someone else, it is welcome here.
We review your monitoring data, production history, inverter and panel models, and any photos you can send. For most residential systems that is enough to diagnose what is happening and price a fix. You receive a written assessment with recommended repairs, priced transparently. No pressure to proceed.
We reconfigure your monitoring account so you — not your old installer — are the owner. APSystems, Enphase, Hoymiles, and SolarEdge platforms supported. You get live production data in your own login.
Manufacturer warranties on your panels and inverters remain valid even if your installer closes. We handle the paperwork with Enphase, SolarEdge, APSystems, Canadian Solar, REC, Longi, Hanwha Q Cells, and others, and do the physical swap.
If production is below forecast we identify the cause: shading, dirty panels, a failed micro-inverter or optimizer, a string fault, a firmware issue, or an undersized conductor. Then we fix it.
We correct CEC and Alberta electrical code deficiencies — proper grounding, labelling, disconnect sizing, conduit runs, and rapid-shutdown functionality — so your system is safe and insurable.
Add panels, add a Tesla Powerwall or other battery, add an EV charger, or upgrade your inverter. We design the addition to work with what you already have, not against it.
We transfer monitoring, service, and expand systems built on APSystems, Enphase, Hoymiles, and SolarEdge. If your system uses something else, give us a call — we can still help with repairs, warranty claims, and expansions even when we can't take over the monitoring portal.
Start with a phone call. Most of it happens remotely from there.
Tell us what is going on — your system, your installer history, what you are noticing. Most of the triage happens on this call, and we tell you up front what we can handle remotely versus what needs eyes on it.
We review your monitoring data, production history, equipment models, and photos you send. For most residential takeovers this is all we need to diagnose the issue and quote a fix. Commercial projects and farm installs are case by case — sometimes remote works, sometimes we arrange a site visit.
We transfer monitoring, handle any warranty claims, complete repairs, and become your point of contact going forward. You get the same direct accountability every new Flux client gets.
Flux was founded by a Master Electrician with over 20 years of electrical experience. We run an in-house crew, own our service obligations, and operate on margin that makes long-term service sustainable. 160+ Alberta installs, 5.0 Google rating, BBB A+, Tesla Certified, APSystems award winner.

If you want to go deeper, our guide on what to do if your solar installer goes out of business covers warranty protection, what to verify upfront, and how manufacturer claims work without your original contractor.
Yes. Panel warranties (typically 25 years) and inverter warranties (typically 10 to 25 years) are contracts between you and the manufacturer, not between you and your installer. They remain valid regardless of what happened to the company that installed your system. We handle the claim paperwork and the physical replacement.
We document everything we find with photos and a written report, and we give you an honest assessment of what must be fixed versus what is acceptable. Some systems need only minor touch-ups. Others have real safety or production problems that need to be addressed. You decide what to proceed with and we price every item transparently.
In most cases yes, for the four platforms we support: APSystems, Enphase, Hoymiles, and SolarEdge. Each has an owner-recovery process and we submit the paperwork on your behalf. Once the account is in your name we add a read-only view for our service team so we can assist if an issue comes up later.
Yes. We design add-ons around your existing equipment and work within the electrical capacity of your current setup. Where possible we use compatible equipment from the same manufacturer to keep monitoring unified. Where it is smarter to migrate, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
No. The phone conversation and remote review are free for residential takeovers — we look at your monitoring data, production history, and equipment photos to diagnose what is happening. Commercial and farm projects occasionally need an on-site visit, which we handle case by case and quote in advance.
Yes. Commercial and agricultural takeovers are welcome — from rooftop arrays on warehouses and shops to ground-mount systems on farms. Prior to founding Flux our team delivered commercial solar projects from 100 kW to 350 kW+, so scale is not a concern.
