Solar is an electrical installation before it is anything else. Springbank Electrical handles the array wiring, the inverter, and the connection back into your panel across Calgary and the surrounding communities, so the system is safe, permitted and properly integrated.
A solar array is only as good as what happens between the roof and the panel. Conductor sizing, disconnects, grounding and the tie-in all have to be right, and all of it is inspected. This is the part of a solar project that belongs with a Certified Master Electrician rather than an installer working from a generic diagram.
We look at the panel, the service, the roof access and the run, then confirm what the tie-in actually requires.
A clear quote covering the electrical scope, including any panel work the system makes necessary.
Permit pulled, array and inverter wired, disconnects set and the system tied into your panel to code.
Everything tested and inspected, with a walkthrough so you know what each disconnect does.
Sometimes. The tie-in has to fit within your panel capacity and busbar rating, and older or fuller panels often cannot take it as they are. We check the panel before quoting so a required upgrade is part of the plan rather than a surprise partway through.
Calgary gets a strong amount of annual sunshine compared to most Canadian cities, which is why solar has become common here. Actual output depends on roof orientation, pitch, shading and array size, so the honest answer for any specific house comes from looking at that house.
Yes. Solar installations require an electrical permit and are inspected. We pull the permit and deal with the inspection directly rather than leaving that with you or another trade.
Yes. A lot of solar work splits between the supplier who provides and mounts the array and the electrician who wires and connects it. We handle the electrical scope and coordinate around whoever is on the roof.
Tell us about the roof, the panel and whether you already have quotes from a solar supplier. We will come back with a clear quote on the electrical work.
