The Alberta Advantage
Alberta is uniquely positioned for solar success with some of the best solar resources in Canada and a deregulated energy market that rewards producers.
300+ Sunny Days
Alberta receives more sunlight than almost any other province, ensuring consistent year-round production.
Solar Club Rates
Unique to Alberta, the Solar Club allows you to sell your excess power back to the grid at premium rates.
Deregulation
A competitive energy market means more choices for consumers and better incentives for solar adoption.
Cold Weather Efficiency
Solar panels are electronics—they actually perform more efficiently in cold temperatures. Alberta's crisp, clear winter days are ideal for solar production.
Built for Alberta Winters
A common myth is that solar doesn't work in the snow. In reality, Alberta's unique climate is a massive advantage for solar energy production.
-
Snow Shedding
Panels are installed at an angle and generate heat, causing snow to quickly slide off.
-
Albedo Effect
Snow on the ground reflects additional sunlight back onto your panels, boosting production.
-
Durability
Our premium panels are engineered to withstand heavy snow loads and extreme hail.
Maximize Your ROI
Take advantage of provincial and municipal programs designed to make your transition to solar highly profitable.
Alberta Solar Club
Switch between high and low seasonal rates to maximize the value of the excess energy you export to the grid.
CEIP Financing
Finance up to 100% of your project costs to a maximum of $50,000. Lock in a fixed interest rate (est. 5.66% - 5.75%).
Carbon Credits
Be a part of the Alberta Carbon Offset Market. Earn revenue from the emissions-free electricity you are generating.
The Solar Club™
Rate Advantage
Alberta's unique energy market allows you to switch between high and low rates based on your production. See how the Solar Club maximizes your earnings compared to standard utility rates.
Maximize Earnings
During peak production months, you can switch to the High Rate. Every extra kWh you send to the grid earns you 35.00¢, nearly triple the standard rate.
You have full control to switch your rates with the Solar Club based on your seasonal production.

Alberta Solar FAQ
Do solar panels work during Alberta winters?
Yes! Solar panels actually operate more efficiently in cold temperatures. While snow can temporarily cover them, they are installed at an angle and generate slight heat, causing snow to slide off quickly. Plus, the reflection from snow on the ground (albedo effect) can even boost production.
What is the Alberta Solar Club?
The Solar Club is a unique loyalty program for micro-generators in Alberta. It allows you to switch between a high export rate during the summer (when you overproduce) and a lower rate in the winter, maximizing your financial return on excess energy sent back to the grid.
Are there any provincial rebates or incentives for solar in Alberta?
Yes, Alberta residents can take advantage of the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) for financing, municipal incentives in specific cities, and the highly lucrative Solar Club rates.
Do I need permission from EPCOR or ENMAX to install solar?
Yes, you need a Micro-Generation approval from your local wire service provider (like EPCOR in Edmonton or ENMAX in Calgary). MAG Solar handles this entire permitting and approval process for you.
What happens to my solar panels when it hails?
We use premium, tier-1 solar panels that are rigorously tested and certified to withstand severe weather, including heavy hail. They are significantly stronger than standard roofing materials.
Will solar panels increase my property value in Alberta?
Absolutely. Studies show that homes with solar installations sell faster and for a premium compared to non-solar homes. Plus, solar panels are exempt from property tax assessments in Alberta.
How long does a typical installation take?
Once all permits and utility approvals are in place, the physical installation of a residential solar system typically takes just 1 to 3 days. Commercial systems vary based on size and complexity.
