Return by joining Blue Ring Utilities Solar Club
We created Blue Ring Utilities to help our clients get the best deal when buying and selling power.
Solar clubs help micro-generators, including residential, commercial, and agricultural users, by providing flexible rate plans and facilitating the sale of excess energy back to the grid.
Members can switch between high and low export rates to adapt to seasonal changes in energy production.
In other words, you can switch between a cheaper rate in the winter when you produce less energy and a higher rate in the summer when you produce more energy.
Is Alberta a good place to install solar panels?
The best in Canada! We might have cold winters but the sun shines all year around here.
What is the Alberta Micro-Generation program?
The AB MicroGen act allows anyone to produce enough energy to cover their yearly usage.
How does winter effect solar panels?
According to a NAIT study, snow build up will reduce a systems yearly output by a mere 3-4%. And they don’t get our Southern Alberta chinooks up in Edmonton!
Do solar panels affect the roof's ability to insulate from the cold or heat?
Yes, but in a marginally positive away. They keep sun off the roof and help to keep warmth in during winter.
Can I start small and then increase the size of my system over time?
Yes, solar arrays can always be expanded upon.
Should I go with one main string inverter or many micro-inverters?
For residential systems the answer is almost always micro-inverter. They are generally less cost, they protect a system from shading issues, and the micros that we use come with an unbeatable 25 year warranty.
