MAG Solar - Your Solar Company Edmonton

MAG Solar is Edmonton’s go-to energy solution provider. We install high-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) systems to maximize power production and provide sustainable power to homes and businesses.

Edmonton is a popular destination for locals and visitors due to its sunny weather, which powers more than 50 festivals every year. This sun irradiance is also why the city is ideal for PV installations. With over 2,300 hours of sunlight annually and 144 sunny days, Edmonton is perfect for installing solar panels.

Government rebates and grants, like the Change Homes for Climate Solar Rebate Program reopening, are helping the city’s solar industry grow. As your reliable solar company Edmonton, we use modern monocrystalline panels optimized for the local climate.

Our Edmonton Solar Power Services

Panel Installation Plan

Investing in PV panels is a significant step towards sustainable electricity. At MAG Solar panel installation service, we simplify this journey with a comprehensive planning and installation process. We initiate an in-depth consultation to discuss your electric needs, objectives, and concerns.

Site Visit & Physical Assessment

Roof Conditions: We evaluate structural integrity and suitability for mounting.
Angles and Orientation: Ensuring optimal panel positioning for maximum sunlight exposure.
Obstacles: Identifying potential shading from trees, buildings, or other structures.

Electrical Infrastructure Review

Circuit Capacity: Checking the capacity of existing circuits to handle additional loads.
Service Panel Compatibility: Ensuring the service panel can accommodate the new inverter and any necessary upgrades.

Utility Bill Analysis

We review your utility bills to identify historical usage and peak periods. This cost analysis is essential to understand current energy costs and potential savings.

Energy Load Assessment

Electrical Loads: Our experts analyze significant appliances and systems contributing to electric consumption.
Peak Usage Times: We determine periods of highest power demand.

Sun Power Potential Analysis

Combining data from the survey and audit, we calculate your location's average sunlight exposure and intensity. This determines the optimal panel size, quantity, and type based on available resources and power needs.

Financial Analysis

We provide a detailed financial model, including:

Cost Breakdown: Initial investment, panel installation costs, and potential additional expenses.
Savings Projection: Estimated reduction in utility bills and long-term savings.
Payback Period: Time required to recoup the investment through savings.
Return on Investment (ROI): Expected financial returns over the system’s lifetime.

Custom Installation Plan

We present the plan for your review and adjust it based on your feedback. We design a tailored plan that includes:

System Configuration: Layout and placement of panels and components.
Integration: Connection with existing electrical systems and the grid.

Our in-depth plan provides a detailed breakdown of installation and maintenance costs. Based on your energy usage profile, we also offer potential savings and financial projections.

Guide for Choosing

Produce Power. Q Cells’ 480W panel outperforms Longi’s 405W for maximum power output.
Efficiency. Q Cells produce more electric output per unit area due to their 21.6% efficiency.
Cell Technology. Longi uses Mono PERC, slows degradation, while Q Cells uses high-efficiency ANTUM DUO Z.
Durability. Due to its sturdy frame, Q Cells can withstand heavy snow and strong winds. Although durable, Longi’s panel resists ammonia and saline mist, making it better for harsh environments.
Temperature Performance. Longi panels work better in cooler temperatures and reduce hot spots.
Application Suitability. Choose Longi for high-corrosive environments or low-light performance. Use Q Cells for higher power and weather resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Edmonton’s Change Homes for Climate Solar Rebate (CHCSR) Program?

Edmonton’s CHCSR Program has reopened to encourage panel installations in apartments, townhouses, and condominiums.

Eligibility. Applies to properties with four or more legal units.
Application Deadline. Systems must be installed and details submitted by December 16, 2024.
Goals. Support local renewable output, lower utility bills, reduce carbon emissions, and make sun output more accessible and equitable.

With $1.3 million in funding, the program offers rebates of up to 50 cents per watt, $4,000 per unit or $100,000 per building.

Are there any additional green installation programs in my area that I can apply for?

Through the Clean Energy Improvement Program, upfront funding is available for various energy-efficient upgrades like PV panels.

Property owners repay loans through their tax accounts over 20 years.
Permanent since May 2024.

Are photovoltaic power systems a good investment for Edmonton homes?

Yes, the payback period for installed solar panels is 7 to 11 years, with faster returns in sunnier areas like Edmonton. With minimal upkeep, these modules can last for around 30 years. This allows homeowners to recover installation and energy costs midway through their lifespan.
