Redwater Solar Solutions for Acreages, Farms, and Businesses

Redwater, nestled in Sturgeon County, offers significant potential for ground mount solar installations. Property owners can leverage abundant sunlight to power their homes, agricultural operations, and commercial ventures. Embrace sustainable energy and reduce your reliance on traditional power sources.

Why Solar Makes Sense in Redwater

As an oil-patch community in Sturgeon County, Redwater properties often have high energy demands, making solar an excellent investment. Acreages and farms are particularly well-suited for ground mount systems, providing ample space for optimal sun exposure. FortisAlberta customers can benefit from net metering programs, feeding excess power back to the grid.

The Edmonton region, including Redwater, receives approximately 2,300 hours of sunshine annually.

Designed for Rural Electrical Systems

Rural properties in Redwater 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.
