INSTALLING SOLAR

INSTALLING SOLAR

Why it’s worth it:

Solar helps the environment.

We know you know this, but utilizing solar energy dramatically decreases your impact on the environment, and that’s something we can all get behind.  In Alberta, you can even sell your generated Carbon Credits!

It helps you save on your bills (and even makes you money).

You can significantly lower (or sometimes even eliminate) your monthly utility bill by installing solar on your property. Depending on your setup, you can even generate passive income with surplus energy collection.  You can even decrease those pesky Transmission and Distribution Fees.

It’s reliable.

Traditional power sources of electricity can be unreliable Especially in Rural and small town environments - by generating your own power, you create a consistent source of energy that isn’t reliant on the grid.

Low maintenance costs.

When installing solar panels, there is definitely a cost up front. That being said, long-term, solar panels actually don’t require a lot of maintenance. Apart from washing off your panels several times a year, you’re good to go. 

Incentives and rebates are out there.

Back to the money - depending on where you live, there are rebates and incentives offered by the federal government that can help offset installation costs.

It increases the value of your home.

Solar panel installation is also known to increase the value of your home, so it’s a good investment longterm.

Where we install:

  • Many people want to solarize their homes but aren't aware of the economics of solar. Unfortunately, too much or too little can negatively affect your ROI. By working with professionals who understand the economics of solar energy production and are trained Red Seal Electricians, we can maximize the investment of your hard-earned money. You own your home and your vehicle; now it's time to own your power.

  • Distribution fees skyrocket on farms and large rural properties - these charges can be as much as 3x the cost of urban fees. The only way to reduce this is by producing your own power. With ever-increasing farming costs and lower margins, solar can make a huge difference. Many federal grants are available to install solar power on your farm, and depending on your jurisdiction, solar per square foot yields higher than some traditional crops. In addition, diversifying and securing your income against weather issues and climate change impacts will protect your family and your way of living.

  • Running a business is no cheap task, especially with the rising cost of utilities. What better way to support your business than making it energy-independent? You earn income on your merchandise or services; now it’s time to make revenue on your excess electricity. We’re here to assess and provide quotes for businesses of all shapes and sizes.

  • Whether it’s a horse trailer, a job trailer, or a trailer for your toys, having the ability to create your own power on the fly is a game-changer. Don’t worry about toxic fumes around your animals- like in a gas generator. Solar is clean, safe, and ready when you need it.

  • We service Alberta’s energy industry by providing full-service solar and electrical needs. Invest in NewLeaf’s development goals of bringing abandoned wellsites to solar farms. Proceeds from each project contribute to the refurbishment of a wellsite.

The path to owning your power isn’t as out of reach as you think.
