Solar modules are made up of toughened glass and are pre-tested for hail storms in the factory using gold ball size hail travelling at approx.. 100MPH. They are in fact tougher that your roof and will also help protect your roof in case of hail. Additionally, modules have warranty of power output for 25 years, in case they need to be replaced.

If solar modules are covered in snow, they will not produce any power. Solgen proactively builds snow losses in to your expected yearly production in your solar proposal/quote. This means that your system size is designed keeping in mind losses due to snow cover and no production (or low production) due to snow coverage is already accounted for when determining your energy offset.

Luckily, warm weather has nothing to do with the geographical location’s solar potential. Alberta is one of the sunniest provinces in Canada. On an average we get more than 300+ sunny days. This is at par with some of the Indian or Australian or European cities. Cold weather is in fact an added bonus as solar modules will produce more energy when they are cold as their conductivity increases. Ladakh in India has the best solar potential in the India.

The team at Solgen will analyze your location, electricity usage, and sustainability goals to determine your suitability for solar. You can ask us questions you may have about solar, incentives, installation, and anything else you can think of.

Once approved, we will handle obtaining Electrical Permits and fill out your Incentive and Micro–Generation Applications for you. We will develop a schedule that works for you and make sure you are satisfied with every aspect of the process. We may need you to sign a couple forms depending on your utility provider.

Our qualified team of professional electricians will install your system, ensuring quality work throughout. We will connect the new solar panels to your existing electrical system and if required, assist you in meter replacement by the local wire line owner so that you can connect and sell to the grid.

After installation, our experienced team will review the solar system with you and explain how everything works, including incentives and micro-generation. We will answer any additional questions, ensure you are satisfied with the work, and have a comfortable understanding of your system

Lastly, we will introduce you to a company that can help you sell your carbon offsets in the open market

Solgen Energy has unique access to Alberta’s Green Energy industry. Light Up Alberta is a non-government program which encourages a switch to solar and renewable power.
