Specialized Solar Mounting & Engineering in Edmonton
Structural Integrity for High-Performance Solar Arrays
A solar system is only as reliable as the structure supporting it. Boreal Energy Solutions provides expert Specialized Mounting & Engineering services designed to withstand Alberta’s extreme wind and snow loads. Founded on April 30, 2018, we have spent 7 years as a premier Solar Energy Company, ensuring that every Solar Installation we perform in the Edmonton area is safe, code-compliant, and built for a 25-year lifespan.
7 Years of Engineering Excellence in Edmonton
Based at 16760 121 Ave NW Bay # 4, Edmonton, AB T5V 1P6, we are a locally owned and operated Solar Panel Installer. Our facility is centrally located just 6 minutes from the City Truck Stop: Edmonton, 7 minutes from the 149 St Costco Wholesale, and 750m from the North Star Cardiology Clinic.
Since 2018, we have mastered the structural requirements of Professional Solar Installation Services for neighborhoods like Dovercourt, Woodcroft, Sherbrooke, and Inglewood. We don’t just "slap panels on a roof" we provide end-to-end engineering, from initial load calculations to final structural certification.
What Is Specialized Mounting & Engineering?
Solar mounting and engineering is the science of safely attaching Solar Panels to a building or the ground. In Edmonton, this requires specific expertise in:
-
Dead Load Calculations: Ensuring your roof can support the static weight of the array.
-
Environmental Loads: Engineering for high wind uplift and heavy Alberta snow accumulation.
-
Code Compliance: Meeting the National Building Code – 2023 Alberta Edition and local municipal bylaws.
-
Waterproofing: Utilizing specialized flashing and mounting hardware to maintain your roof's integrity.
Our Specialized Mounting Services
We provide tailored structural solutions for every project type, ensuring maximum efficiency and safety.
Roof-Mounted Solutions
The most common choice for Residential Solar Installation. We offer flush-mount systems for asphalt shingles, clamp-based attachments for standing seam metal roofs, and ballasted options for commercial flat roofs. Every rooftop project includes a structural assessment to confirm your rafters or trusses can handle the added load.
Ground-Mounted Arrays
Ideal for rural properties or businesses with available land. Our Ground-Mounted Arrays are engineered with driven piles or screw piles to resist frost heave—a critical consideration for the Edmonton climate. We offer fixed-tilt or tracking systems to optimize your Solar Power production year-round.
Solar Racking Systems
The skeleton of your solar array. We use high-grade aluminum and galvanized steel Solar Racking Systems that are corrosion-resistant and UL-certified. Our custom racking designs allow for optimal tilt angles, ensuring your panels capture the most sun during Edmonton’s short winter days.
Benefits of Specialized Engineering
-
Structural Safety: Professional engineering prevents roof sagging, leaks, or wind-related failures.
-
Maximum Energy Yield: Specialized mounts allow for precise orientation and tilt, significantly increasing your Solar Power output.
-
Insurance Compliance: Many insurance providers require stamped engineering drawings before they will cover a solar-equipped property.
-
Long-Term Durability: Our mounting hardware is designed to outlast the Solar Panels themselves, even in -40°C temperatures.
-
Enhanced Property Value: A professionally engineered system is a certified asset that adds real value to your home or business.
