Gibbons Solar: Powering Sturgeon County Acreages and Farms

Gibbons, nestled in Sturgeon County, offers excellent potential for solar energy. With abundant sunshine and a focus on rural living, property owners can significantly reduce electricity costs and enhance energy independence. Range Road Solar specializes in ground mount systems tailored for the unique needs of this region.

Why Solar Makes Sense in Gibbons

Sturgeon County\'s expansive acreages and agricultural properties in Gibbons are ideal for ground mount solar installations. FortisAlberta\'s net metering program allows you to sell excess power back to the grid, ensuring a strong return on investment. This makes solar a practical and financially sound choice for homes, shops, and barns.

Gibbons, located in the Edmonton Region, receives approximately 2,300 hours of sunshine annually.

Designed for Rural Electrical Systems

Rural properties in Gibbons 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.
