Rural Alberta Solar Installation
Bentley Solar: Powering Rural Properties with Alberta Sunshine
Bentley, nestled in Lacombe County near Gull Lake, offers an excellent environment for solar energy. With abundant sunshine and a focus on rural living, solar installations provide a practical and sustainable power solution for acreages, farms, and workshops.
Why Solar Makes Sense in Bentley
The Bentley area, with its mix of seasonal and year-round acreage properties, presents significant opportunities for ground-mount solar. Property owners can leverage their open spaces to install efficient solar arrays, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and benefiting from Alberta\'s favorable solar conditions and net metering programs.
Bentley and the surrounding Central Alberta region receive over 2,000 hours of sunshine annually.
Designed for Rural Electrical Systems
Rural properties in Bentley often have electrical service characteristics that differ from urban installations. Long distribution lines, single-phase or three-phase service, and older panel infrastructure require careful system design. We assess your service entrance, meter base, and distribution panel as part of the design process.
The Installation Process
Power Bill Review
We review the 12-month usage graph on your most recent power bill to understand your consumption patterns and identify the right system size.
Site Assessment
We visit your property to assess roof or ground conditions, shading, electrical service, and interconnection requirements.
System Design
We produce a system layout, production estimate, and cost summary based on your site and usage data.
Permits and Interconnection
We apply for building and electrical permits and submit your micro-generation interconnection application to your local wire service provider.
Installation
Our crew installs the racking, panels, inverter, and electrical connections. Work is performed by licensed electricians.
Commissioning and Inspection
The system is commissioned, inspected by the authority having jurisdiction, and connected to the grid through your local wire service provider.
