Yes—Solar YYC proudly installs solar panels in Edmonton and surrounding communities. And thanks to abundant sunshine and modern federal financing, more homeowners than ever are making the switch to clean, affordable energy. Curious to learn how much solar panels cost in Edmonton?
Average Cost of Solar in Edmonton
At Solar YYC, we offer residential solar systems with an average price of around $2.15/watt. That means an average 8 kW system costs about $17,200+GST, installed.
Compared to many other Edmonton solar companies, this is among the most competitive pricing available—without sacrificing on quality, warranty, or service.
Your final price depends on:
– Roof shape and material
– System size (based on energy usage)
– Optional add-ons like batteries, EV chargers, critter guard, snow guard, energy monitors and/or panel upgrades
We never use subcontractors for installations. All our systems are installed by trained, indentured electricians, backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty (extendable to 25 years).
Side note: if you received a quote that well exceeds $2.15/watt before GST it is best to get multiple quotes. We see pricing in the $3/watt range and that is almost always way too much to pay. This generally comes from the door to door solar salespeople. Save your family thousands of dollars by taking your time, get multiple quotes and don’t allow yourself to be pressured!
Financing with the Greener Homes Loan
The Canada Greener Homes Loan provides up to $40,000 in interest-free financing for homeowners upgrading to solar. This makes it possible to go solar with no large upfront payment—just a manageable monthly repayment over 10 years.
We help you:
– Complete your energy audit (we provide the necessaries!)
– Navigate the application (it’s easy, we’ll show you)
– Ensure your system qualifies (we’ve done this before!)
Edmonton Solar ROI
Most homeowners cut their power bills by 50–90% and see full payback in 8–12 years. After that, it’s 100% savings.
Plus, your property value may increase—and you’re protected from rising electricity rates for decades.
Additional Ways to Earn
Solar Clubs
In Alberta, homeowners who generate more electricity than they consume (for a month) can benefit from programs known as solar clubs. These are specialized electricity rate plans offered by competitive energy retailers that pay premium rates—often between $0.25 and $0.30 per kWh—for exported solar energy. By joining a solar club, you can increase the value of your surplus electricity, especially during sunny months.
Selling Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) through Solar Offsets
If you’re interested in turning your solar production into a broader environmental impact—or even a revenue stream—selling Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) may be an option. Platforms like Solar Offset allow Alberta solar homeowners to sell the environmental attributes of their solar production to companies looking to offset their carbon footprint. Our team at Solar YYC can walk you through the REC enrollment process. It sounds complicated, but it’s not and we’ll show you how to do it.
