11kW SOLAR INSTALLATION IN SUNDANCE (SW) CALGARY

Installation Details

• System Size: 11 kW
• Modules: Longi 405W
• Inverters: Microinverters with monitoring
• Array Layout: Split system — 2 roof faces on the house + 2 on the garage
• Roof Type: Asphalt shingle
• Extras: Rodent guard; APS-style module-level monitoring
• Predicted Production (Year 1): 11,996 kWh

Site Conditions & Challenges

Multiple roof faces meant careful string/branch design to keep production strong throughout the day. We trenched to the garage for its panel connection, and the home run on the house side was fished a long way through the basement to keep the install clean with minimal drywall impact.

Electrical Upgrades

To support the new solar and future loads, we upgraded the interior gear:

• Main Panel: 100A service with a 200A bus
• Garage Panel: Upgraded to 125A
• Service Entrance: Underground (left as-is for now)

Financial Overview

This project qualified for the Canada Greener Homes Grant and interest-free loan, and CEIP was available to help spread costs via property taxes. With a predicted 11,996 kWh in the first year — plus rodent guard to protect long-term performance — the system is set up for steady bill reductions for years to come. Solar Offset eligibility adds another path to improve ROI.
