Solar Service And Maintenance

Your solar system works hard year-round. Now, Stampede Electric can help keep an eye on it.

The Stampede Ranch Hand Program

a monthly maintenance and monitoring program designed for solar owners to help protect their investment and keep their system performing as expected.

Solar performance issues aren't always obvious.

Your system can continue operating while producing less power than it should, and you may not realize there's an issue until you've already lost valuable production.

That's where we come in.

We've created three levels of care, so you can choose how much support you'd like from the Stampede team:

Are there any government programs available? Can you help?

Some Alberta municipalities have the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) available. In Calgary, click the link for more information here Residential Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP)  

To see if your municipality is offering the program click here Clean Energy Improvement Program – A new way to pay for residential and commercial property owners to make energy efficiency & renewable energy upgrades.

We can assist you with permits and the application process, reach out to us at (403) 880-4794.

For Commercial properties click the following link for more information Commercial Property – Clean Energy Improvement Program.

Alberta offers various tax incentives for commercial and agricultural solar power installations. Here are some of the key incentives available:

Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC): Provides a 20%-30% tax credit on eligible solar installation costs, making solar energy more accessible and affordable for Alberta's agricultural and business sectors.
These incentives are designed to encourage the adoption of solar energy solutions, leading to long-term operational savings and energy independence for businesses and farms in Alberta.

What about hail damage to solar panels?

Modern panels are tested for hail. They can withstand an incredible beating in hailstorms. For example, during the brutal hailstorms in 2020 zero (thats right zero!) panel insurance claims were filed. They are built to withstand our tough weather here in Alberta.

Will my property value increase with solar panels?

Yes they will! Typically Alberta homeowners see an increase between 4 - 6% in home value.

How long will my solar panels last?

Solar panels are warrantied for 25 years and are expected to outperform that warranty. With no moving parts, a 30+ year life cycle is generally expected.
