Rural properties often pay a significant premium for electricity in Alberta. Distribution, Admin, and REA fees contribute to consistently increasing electricity bills.
Solar is a tool for reducing your utility costs by producing your own electricity. Evalence is a professional installer of turn-key solar systems compatible with agricultural, farming, and rural lifestyles. Our quality first line-up of durable solar modules, inverters, racking, and battery storage options ensures that we have a selection of products appropriate for your farm's conditions.
Fully customize your solar installation to meet your requirements for cost, aesthetics, and electrical capacity considerations. Three reasons why we're leading electric performance:
Alberta's generous sunny days make it an ideal location for harnessing solar power – a clean, inexhaustible, and renewable energy source.
When you opt for installing solar panels on your farm, you're not only supporting a healthier planet but also accessing an abundant energy resource right at your doorstep. for electric performance.
Transitioning to solar power can substantially lower your monthly power bill! Offset up to 100% of your electricity usage.
At Evalence, we're more than just a solar installer. We're a team committed to delivering quality solar solutions and exceptional service. With years of experience in the solar industry, we're proud to be a leading name in renewable energy in Calgary and across Alberta.
Residential solar is growing in popularity across Alberta, as evidenced by the exponential trends in microgeneration system registration published by AESO. June 2024 numbers show nearly 24,000 registered systems compared to about 14,000 just one year ago. We believe this adoption is primarily due to the major cost savings customers are seeing by using this technology. We believe solar adoption will continue to grow as people become more familiar with the benefits of solar in Alberta!
Solar Club is a unique program, which allows for a higher return on investment for many solar panel owners. This program allows customers to switch to a high electricity rate during months of peak production (April-September), and a lower rate in the winter months. The net result of this program, is that customers are getting more money for their green electricity than through traditional utility programs. This is unique to Alberta, and one of the additional reasons why residential solar is economical in our province.
We provide a variety of solar panel mounting solutions designed to make the most out of the roofs, fields, and fence lines of your farm. We can mount solar panels on metal barns, homes, and directly to the ground using ground-mounted systems. This gives our team the flexibility to determine the optimal location for production and cost savings.
The Canadian Investment Tax Credit (ITC) was released as an incentive to encourage Canadian corporations to invest in renewable technologies like solar, hydrogen, and co-generation. This credit can result in up to 30% refundable tax credit based on the total cost of the solar installation. If your farm is registered as a corporation, you are eligible to participate in this program by installing solar.

Yes of course! We offer a standard solar workmanship warranty of 5 years on all solar installations. Additionally, most of our components come with a standard 10 year manufacturer warranty + up to 25 year solar performance warranties.
We have offices in Calgary and Edmonton, and employ team members in both cities and surrounding areas.
Before grant funding incentives, the average cost to install solar panels for a 1,500 square foot house will range between $14,000-$20,000. This price will range based on the amount of panels required to offset the home electrical usage. This cost can be offset by the $5,000 greener homes grant + other applicable regional grants. For an accurate estimate for installing solar energy systems to your home in Calgary or Edmonton, request a personalized quote from Evalence today.
The amount of solar panels needed for your home will depend on your electricity usage, location, and roof orientation. The average solar installation is between 5kW to 10kW of total capacity, which equates to between 10-20 solar panels.
We're more than just a solar installer in Edmonton and Calgary! We call ourselves a renewables company because we're interested in everything renewables and green infrastructure. This includes EV charging, solar systems, battery bank storage, and energy management for residential and commercial.
Solar panels are typically installed on South, East, or West facing roof planes to maximize the sun exposure reaching the solar panels. When solar panels are exposed to sun, a reaction occurs and DC power is produced by the solar panels. DC power is converted to AC power (the type used in your household) by the inverter, and then this power is delivered to your home's electrical system. This power can be stored in a battery, or used by home appliances like AC, hot tubs, fridge, light bulbs, or anything consuming electricity.
Excess electricity is sent back to the grid, and the bidirectional home meter records the total flow of electricity from the house. The amount of electricity exported is credited on the electricity bill to reduce the overall home energy cost. The price you pay for electricity, is typically the price you will receive for your exported electricity in Alberta.
The amount you can save is proportional to the amount you currently spend on your electricity bill. With solar systems, you can design to a maximum of 110% of your home usage. If your electricity bill is $200/month, that's how much you could save with solar. It's important to consider that administration and transmision fees will still be present on your bill, so it can be difficult to offset 100%. Battery storage can assist with reducing these fees.
The major factors impacting residential solar production is the design of the roof and shading surrounding the property. South facing roof slopes without obstructions from neighbouring homes or trees will result in the most efficient electricity production.
Yes. The most commonly used incentive is the Greener Homes Grant & Loan Program. This program offers a $5,000 grant incentive for installing solar panels, and will bundle up to $40,000 of project costs into a 0% loan.
The Clean Energy Improvement Program can also be utilized to finance residential solar projects. The program is distributed by Alberta municipalities for loans up to $50,000 of projects costs with repayment terms up to 20 years. Interest rates vary between municipalities, but range between (2%-4%).
Evalence utilizes the highest quality Tier 1 solar panels available in Canada. These panels come with production performance guarantees of up to 30 years.
Solar panels are generally maintenance free for home owners. Our systems come with monitoring software which can be utilized by our team, and the home owner to monitor solar production. If the monitoring software determines a panel is underperforming, than a service call would be completed to assess the panel condition.
Yes. Most residential solar systems installed in Alberta are grid-tied. This means the home, and the solar system are connected with the electrical grid. We reccommend this set up because it gives home owners the most flexible and robust solution for their needs.
The installation duration for an EV charger can take several hours to a day, depending on factors such as the type of charger, the wiring complexity, and any modifications needed for your electrical system. The more complex the installation, the more time required to complete it!
