Clean Energy Improvement Program
You can finance up to 100% of your project costs to a maximum of $50,000.
You will lock in a fixed interest rate when you sign your CEIP agreement. We estimate the interest rate to be in the range of 5.66% - 5.80%. It could be higher or lower than that, depending on the market rates at the time that you sign your agreement.
CEIP is not a rebate program. You must pay back all of the funding that you borrow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is solar worth it in Calgary?
Yes. Calgary receives excellent annual sunlight, making solar a strong long-term investment for many homes and businesses.
How much does a solar system cost?
Costs vary depending on system size, equipment selection, roof configuration, and energy goals. We provide customized quotes based on your property.
How long does installation take?
Most residential systems can be installed within a few days once permits and approvals have been completed.
Will solar panels work during winter?
Yes. Solar panels continue producing electricity throughout the winter months. Snow often slides off panels, and cooler temperatures can actually improve panel efficiency.

In many cases, yes. We can discuss future battery compatibility during the design process.
Do I need a roof replacement before installing solar?
Not always. During our site assessment, we evaluate your roof condition and make recommendations if necessary.
