What customers say about the pressure

★★★★★
“Had a great experience with Raydn Renewables. Dima and his team were friendly, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish. They answered all my questions, showed up when they said they would, and the installation was done quickly and looks awesome. You can tell they really care about doing quality work and making sure everything is done right. The whole process was way easier than I expected, and I never felt like they were trying to sell me something I didn't need. I'd definitely recommend Raydn Renewables to anyone looking for solar or electrical work. Really happy with the service!”

He's reliable, efficient, and someone you can really trust to take care of your home or business. If you're looking for great service and peace of mind, Dima is the guy to call!”

Residential and Commercial

City of Edmonton CEIP

Finance up to $50K residential or $1M commercial through your property tax bill. No credit check, no personal liability.

6.0%Edmonton$50Khome max20 yrterm
Edmonton CEIP is nearing capacity. Pre-qualifications now go on a waitlist.
Rate & eligibility notes:
  • Every town sets its own rate. Read on August 10, 2026: Edmonton 6.0% fixed, St. Albert 1.62% variable capped at 3%, Strathcona County 2.0%, Cold Lake 3.1%, Wetaskiwin 3.2%, Spruce Grove and Beaumont 3.5%.
  • Edmonton residential CEIP as of 2026 is primarily serving multi-unit properties (4+ dwellings). Single-family homeowners in Edmonton can still access CEIP for commercial properties they own.
  • Almost every program is waitlisting right now, and Leduc and Strathcona County have closed to new applications. I check the city page before I put CEIP in a quote. You should make anyone else do the same.
Incidental costs covered (15% rule):
  • Roof repairs or upgrades required before solar installation are eligible as incidental costs.
  • Panel and electrical upgrades required before your project are eligible as incidental costs.
  • Minimum 3 eligible improvements required per CEIP application. Single-item projects do not qualify on their own, but solar + panel upgrade + EV charger bundles are a common qualifying combination we regularly help homeowners package.
  • Up to 15% of your total project cost can be financed as incidental work through CEIP.
  • Incidental work must be listed in your Project Application before any work begins.

About the $14 Alberta panel recycling fee

What is this fee?

A province-wide environmental fee of $14 per eligible solar panel, starting October 1, 2026. Administered by ARMA, the same body that handles tire and electronics recycling in Alberta.

Is this a Raydn markup?

No. We collect it at cost and remit it to the program. We show it separately on every quote so you can verify exactly what you are paying.

Where does the money go?

ARMA states the fee funds collection points, the recycling process, and the development of recycling infrastructure for end-of-life panels in Alberta.

Why is timing relevant?

The fee applies to panels sold into Alberta on or after October 1, 2026. Projects with panels ordered and on inventory before that date can avoid the new line item.

Does this change whether solar is worth it?

On a typical residential system, the fee is around 1 percent of total project cost. The payback math, financing, and equipment warranties are all unchanged.

Where these numbers come from

The tax numbers on this page are CRA figures, not mine. The Clean Technology ITC is a refundable tax credit, read 27 August 2026, which matters because a refundable credit can come back to a corporation in a year with no federal tax payable. The full 30 percent is conditional. CRA, avoid the reduced credit rate, states the rate drops by 10 percentage points, to 20 percent, if you do not elect to meet the prevailing wage and apprenticeship labour requirements, and that it falls to 15 percent for 2034. Eligible solar equipment is listed by NRCan under photovoltaic electrical generation equipment.

On the write off, I corrected this page in August 2026 because it was out of date. CRA’s phase out table on the Accelerated Investment Incentive page, read 27 August 2026, shows the enhanced first year allowance for clean energy equipment stepping down from 100 percent for 2018 to 2023, to 75 percent for 2024 and 2025, to 55 percent for 2026 and 2027, and gone from 2028. The same page limits Class 43.2 to equipment acquired before 2025 and lists it as not applicable from 2025 on, so a system bought now sits in Class 43.1. That is why this page says 55 percent and Class 43.1 instead of the 100 percent and Class 43.2 you will still see quoted elsewhere. Your tax year and your corporate rate decide the dollar figure, so take it to your accountant.

Every rate here is a published third party figure or is labelled as my own. If one has moved since the read date, tell me and I will correct the page.
