We say it a lot – Edmonton is a great place to generate power from the sun. Depending on the angle and size of your roof, it is both realistic for homeowners to completely offset their energy bill, earn money back from the grid, and earn carbon credits. BLDG was asked to install a 13.65kW solar...
Not all roofs have the idyllic angle and south-facing direction for perfectly efficient solar energy production. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t design a system that works and looks great. For this homeowner we installed a system with a 10 kW inverter and east/west facing solar modules. Their...
Area homeowners considering a transition to solar certainly acknowledge the good they will do for the environment. They also realize that they will contribute to Alberta’s plan to achieve a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. Further, they appreciate the fact that solar will provide them with a...
As a general electrical contractor in Edmonton, our team of electricians split their time between projects such as solar PV systems, EV charger installations, electrical construction or service upgrades. This recent project for Bee-Clean is a good example of the types of commercial projects we...
As we enter 2024, well over 43,000 solar (PV) energy installations are affixed upon residential, commercial and industrial rooftops across Canada, providing power directly to those properties. The country’s current solar capacity (maximum amount of electricity the system can produce under ideal...
BLDG has served as an electrical contractor for Carmacks Construction for several years now, and we have had the opportunity to work on a range of projects, from EV fleet charging, building automation, electrical upgrades, and new electrical construction projects. We recently were asked to plan...
At BLDG Electric, we work diligently to understand and keep property owners informed about financial incentives for adding or transitioning to solar power. There’s another piece of the incentive puzzle that Edmonton and Northern AB building owners and developers need to know about as we move...
We recently installed an 8.3kW solar PV system for this homeowner. This assignment was a unique solar project because the client required a panel upgrade to accept the solar production. Secondly, they had limited south-facing roof space to work with, which is of course, not as optimal for solar...
Your household has decided it wants to do its part to help achieve Northern Alberta’s and Edmonton’s Energy Transition Strategy & Action Plan. This plan calls for homeowners to transition to solar energy and heating. This is accomplished via the installation of photovoltaic cells, also known...
You’ve heard rumblings about carbon credits from green home owners throughout Central and Northern Alberta of late. You’ve heard that there is money to be made by leveraging a solar installation, yet have received little clarity on how to make that happen. Consequently, you’ve procrastinated on...
