Residential solar panels in Edmonton aren’t just good for the environment—they’re smart economics. Homeowners with solar in Alberta get paid for extra electricity through net metering, see increased property values, sell their homes faster, and drastically reduce monthly energy bills. Whether you’re looking to offset costs or eliminate them entirely, solar protects you from rising energy prices while requiring minimal maintenance over its 25+ year lifespan.
As an experienced residential solar installer serving Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, and surrounding areas, we help you maximize your roof space, acreage, or unused ground. From rooftop arrays to solar gazebos and carports, we beautifully integrate the latest photovoltaic technology into your home while adding functional value to your property.

Yes! Critter guards can be retrofitted to any existing solar system. If you’re already experiencing animal problems (nesting sounds, droppings on panels, or visible damage), we recommend acting quickly—the longer animals inhabit the space, the more damage they cause. SolarNinjas can inspect your system, remove any existing nests safely, repair any wiring damage, and install critter guards to prevent future issues. We also offer critter guard installation as part of all new solar installations.
Birds, squirrels, and other animals love nesting under solar panels—the space provides shelter, warmth, and protection from predators. Without critter guards, animals can: damage wiring (leading to system failure or fire hazards), create nests that block airflow (reducing panel efficiency), leave droppings that corrode equipment, and create entry points for roof leaks. Critter guards are a small investment that prevents thousands of dollars in damage and maintains your solar system’s performance and warranty.
Most residential panel upgrades take 1-2 days, including inspection. The timeline depends on your home’s wiring condition, whether the service entrance needs upgrading, and permit processing time. We coordinate with EPCOR (or your utility) for temporary disconnection if needed, minimize downtime, and ensure the work passes inspection on the first attempt. Commercial projects vary based on size and complexity—contact us for a detailed timeline.
Absolutely. SolarNinjas is a licensed electrical contractor serving residential, commercial, and farm properties across Edmonton and surrounding areas. Our services include panel upgrades, EV charger installation, electrical infrastructure for solar systems, troubleshooting and repairs, code compliance work, and new construction electrical. We’re not a marketing company with subcontractors—you work directly with our master electricians from estimate to completion.
Signs you need a panel upgrade include: frequent breaker trips, flickering lights when appliances run, burning smells near the panel, a panel over 25 years old, rust or corrosion on the panel, buzzing sounds, or planning to add solar panels or EV charging. Most older homes have 100-amp panels, but modern homes with solar, EVs, and multiple appliances need 200-amp service. Our electricians provide free assessments to determine if an upgrade is necessary.
Yes. Alberta law requires all electrical work to be performed by licensed electricians and inspected by a certified electrical inspector. DIY electrical work is illegal and dangerous—it can void your insurance, create fire hazards, and result in costly fines. SolarNinjas employs licensed master electricians who ensure all work meets Alberta Safety Codes and passes inspection the first time.
