14.7 kW RESIDENTIAL SOLAR IN SPRINGBANK CALGARY

Site Conditions & Challenges

The installation required careful planning due to multiple roof faces, ensuring each array was optimized for sun exposure throughout the day. Fishing the wiring cleanly and sub-feeding the existing 100A house panel from the new 200A garage panel was a key part of the design, giving the homeowner full capacity for present and future loads.

Electrical Upgrades

As part of the project, we upgraded the service to 200 amps using the existing underground conductors in coordination with ENMAX. A new 200A panel was installed in the garage, which now sub-feeds the original 100A panel in the house. This setup allows for efficient distribution of power while leaving room for further electrification down the road.

Financial Overview

This Springbank solar project took advantage of multiple incentives:

• Canada Greener Homes Grant
• Greener Homes Loan
• Solar Club membership for better energy rates
• Solar Offset program eligibility

Combined with an expected 16,913 kWh of production in the first year, the system is designed to eliminate the homeowner’s power bills and lock in long-term savings.
