Why Solar Makes Sense in Westlock

Westlock County, a prominent grain farming community, presents excellent opportunities for solar energy. Properties like farms, acreages, shops, and barns can significantly benefit from ground mount solar installations. With your local wire service provider as the utility provider, net metering allows you to send excess power back to the grid, maximizing your investment.

Westlock receives approximately 3,020 hours of sunshine annually.

Designed for Rural Electrical Systems

Rural properties in Westlock 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.
