Frequently Asked Questions
What size can I install?
Alberta: Micro‑gen can be up to 5 MW; “small” is <150 kW and “large” is 150 kW–<5 MW. You can install a system as big as your last year's use. Our team will work with you to design the most efficient for your operation.
Saskatchewan: Net Metering allows systems up to 100 kW.
How do I get credited for surplus power?
Alberta: Small micro‑gen exports are credited at the same energy rate you pay your retailer; large micro‑gen is credited at the hourly pool price. Credits flow through your retailer and onto your bill.
Saskatchewan: You receive Banked Energy Credits (dollar‑value credits at a price set by SaskPower) applied against your energy charges; for enrollments after Nov 2019, credits do not expire.
Can one system serve multiple buildings or meters?
Alberta: Yes, Micro-gen agreements may serve multiple sites that you own/lease/rent as long as they are on the same feeder.
Saskatchewan: Credits are not transferable to other accounts; each premise is treated separately.
Are there incentives or tax advantages?
The Federal Clean Technology ITC provides up to 30% refundable tax credit for eligible businesses. Accelerated write‑offs (Classes 43.1/43.2) may also apply. We’ll help you through this process to make sure you qualify for this rebate.
What are the financial benefit streams I can expect to receive with my Solar system?
1. You will use power directly off of the solar system into your operation which in turn reduces the amount of power you are buying off the grid.
2. Transmission charges can be reduced when you use power directly off of the solar rather than paying grid charges.
3. Excess power that is not used in your operation is sold back to the grid, rate varies on size of system and your contract with retailer (Solar Rates).
4. Power produced by solar is eligible for carbon credits
