Residential Solar Installation in Edmonton
Installing Solar in Edmonton Since 2018
Power Your Home, Empower Yourself
Take control of your energy with solar panels in Edmonton. Where a municipal Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) is open, you can finance your system and repay it on your property taxes.
Your panels generate electricity to power your home, charge your EV, and even store extra energy for later. At night or on cloudy days, your system seamlessly draws from storage or the grid as needed.
As of September 2026, the CEIP programs in our area are full or waitlisted, so ask us what financing is open at your address.

How Does Solar Net Billing Work?
Your solar system connects to the grid and earns credits through the Net-Billing program. Any extra energy your panels produce is credited by your retailer at your energy rate (not delivery charges), helping balance energy use between day, night, and seasons.
Solar you use directly avoids both energy and per-kWh delivery charges, which is where most of the value comes from.
Solar Club™
Sign up with the Solar Club™ and choose between seasonal High (HI) and Low (LO) rates based on your energy use.
✅ Earn more in summer – Switch to HI rates when your solar panels produce excess power, earning premium rates for what you send to the grid.
✅ Save in winter – When solar production drops, switch to LO rates to reduce the cost of electricity from the grid.

Future Scaling: Designing flexible solar solutions that support EV charging and future energy needs.
How Much Solar Does My Edmonton Home Need?
The right solar system size depends primarily on how much electricity your household uses.
Instead of starting with a fixed number of solar panels, Boreal reviews your historical electricity consumption and designs a system around your home's needs, available roof space and expected solar production.
A household that uses more electricity may require a larger system, while a highly efficient home may need considerably fewer panels.
Future energy use matters too. If you're planning to purchase an electric vehicle, add air conditioning, install a heat pump or increase your home's electrical load, tell us during the design process. We can take those changes into account when planning your solar system.
What Happens to Solar Panels During an Edmonton Winter?
Solar panels continue producing electricity in cold weather. In fact, photovoltaic panels can operate efficiently at cold temperatures; the larger seasonal difference in Edmonton comes from shorter winter days, lower sun angles and periods of snow coverage.
Solar systems are designed around expected annual production rather than equal output every month.
Edmonton homeowners typically generate much more solar electricity during the long spring and summer days, while winter production is lower.
Snow will sometimes cover panels temporarily. As snow melts or slides away, the panels resume normal production. Boreal designs its residential solar installations with Alberta weather, roof loading and local conditions in mind.
