Save $1,000’s on energy costs by installing solar panels on your residential property.
With in-house design and installation, Evalence is equipped to handle your next major renewable energy project. Evalence is your electrification partner for residential solar:
Solar prices have dropped significantly over the past 10 years. For most systems, prices have plateaued well below conventional electricity rates.
As of 2022, nearly 70% Of Non-Solar Households Are Interested In Solar. - Rocket Mortgage
Solar systems last over 25 years, provide a lower cost of home ownership, and add equity to your home.
Alberta’s economy produces 250MT of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) annually. Our collective goal is to get this to zero by 2050. An average sized residential solar array of 5-10kW offsets emissions by 2.5 – 5 T CO2e annually.
Good news - you earn extra cash for carbon credits created by your system too.
Evalence is one of Alberta’s premier solar installers and is one of the leading installers of solar in the province. We have a vast catalog of products for solar to fully customize every solar installation to meet cost, design, and performance requirements.
Great for homes with South, East, or West roof aspect for sun exposure. The most common residential solar solution.
Garages with sufficient roof space, and electrical connection with the main property electrical panel. A great opportunity to add a subpanel, and EV charger to the garage.
Ground mounted is best suited for acreage or farms with sufficient sun exposure. A great solution when the home may not be suitable for solar panels, or the quantity is too large for the available roof space.

To help upgrade their home, homeowners have access to an unsecured $5,000 - $40,000, 10-year term, interest free, personal loan. Customers can use this loan for various energy efficiency upgrades.
Read MoreHomeowners can access $3,000 - $50,000 towards energy efficiency upgrades for their home. This program is administered by various Alberta municipalities including City of Calgary, and City of Edmonton. The loan can be paid over a 20-year term, at attractive interest rates (2-4%).
Read MoreYes 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!
