Why Solar Makes Sense in Gleichen

For residents and farmers in Gleichen, embracing solar power means significant benefits. With FortisAlberta as the dominant utility provider, net metering allows you to sell excess energy back to the grid, reducing your bills. Investing in solar provides energy independence and stability against rising energy costs, perfectly suiting the expansive properties common in Wheatland County.

Alberta receives over 2,300 hours of sunshine per year, one of the highest solar irradiance levels in Canada. Gleichen benefits from this high solar resource.

Designed for Rural Electrical Systems

Rural properties in Gleichen 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.
