Alberta's Solar Rebate Programs
Government
Loans and Incentives
Canada Greener Homes Loan has introduced a new interest-free personal loan of up to $40,000 named the Canada Greener Homes Loan. This loan has been designed to support solar installation, and retrofitting initiatives and is available to individuals who have applied for the Greener Homes Grant.
The Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) is a Canadian initiative that enables municipalities to help homeowners, businesses, and organizations finance clean energy projects, such as solar energy installations and energy efficiency upgrades. Through CEIP, participants can access low-interest, long-term loans that are repaid through their property tax bills.
The Clean Energy Investment Tax Credit (CEITC) provides a significant financial boost for businesses investing in clean energy in Canada. For eligible projects, such as solar panel installations, the federal government offers a refundable tax credit of up to 30% on investment costs. This incentive makes clean energy adoption much more affordable, allowing businesses to offset a substantial portion of the initial installation costs.

Types of Solar Panels
There are three main types of solar panels commonly used today: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film.
- Monocrystalline panels are known for their high efficiency and sleek black appearance, making them ideal for residential rooftops.
- Polycrystalline panels are slightly less efficient but more cost-effective, with a blue, speckled look.
- Thin-film panels are lightweight and flexible, often used in specialty applications.
At Level Up Solar, we use high-performance LONGi monocrystalline panels for their superior efficiency, durability, and long-term reliability, ensuring our customers get the most out of their solar investment.

In Calgary, with our abundant sunshine, you can expect significant savings. We provide detailed energy analysis and ROI calculations during our free consultations to give you a personalized estimate.
How long does solar panel installation take in Calgary?

We stay up-to-date on all available rebates and will guide you through the application process to maximize your savings.
How does Calgary's climate affect solar panel efficiency?
Calgary experiences four distinct seasons, including cold winters and sunny summers. While snow can temporarily cover panels, modern solar systems are designed to operate efficiently in cold temperatures. Furthermore, Calgary’s high number of sunny days throughout the year makes it an excellent location for solar energy. We use high-quality panels designed to perform well in varying weather conditions.
Do I need permits for solar panel installation in Calgary?
Yes, permits are required for solar panel installation in Calgary. We handle all necessary permitting processes on your behalf, ensuring your installation complies with local regulations and building codes. This saves you time and ensures a smooth installation.

In Calgary, snow may accumulate during winter, but it usually melts quickly. Usually, solar panels require minimal maintenance. Generally, our customers conduct annual visual inspections themselves. If they have questions or see inconsistencies, they can easily call us with any questions.
How long do solar panels last?
High-quality solar panels are designed to last for 25-30 years or more. Most manufacturers offer warranties that guarantee performance for at least 25 years. We use top-tier panels from reputable manufacturers to ensure long-term reliability and performance.
Will solar panels increase my home's value in Calgary?
Yes, solar panels can significantly increase your home’s value. Studies have shown that homes with solar panels sell faster and for higher prices. In Calgary, where energy costs are a concern, solar panels are a valuable asset that can enhance your property’s appeal.
