Step by step
What actually happens between hello and hooked up.
Tap any stage.

Free on-site quote
Dmitry visits your home, measures the roof, inspects the panel, and hands you a written all-in quote. Typical visit is 45 minutes. Zero pressure.
What can slow this down.
- If the panel is boxed in behind storage or the attic hatch has been painted shut, I cannot see what I need to see, and a quote built on guesses is how people end up with change orders later.
What I do about it.
- I tell you what to clear before I arrive. That keeps the visit short and you get a real number instead of a range.

Engineered design
We custom-design your layout in AutoCAD Solar. Real panel positions, real production estimate, real shading model. You approve before we order anything.
What can slow this down.
- Three or more roof faces, dormers, or one big spruce on the south side all take longer to model honestly, and a shading model done fast is a production number that will not survive its first year.
What I do about it.
- I would rather take an extra day than hand you a yield figure I cannot defend when your first summer bill shows up.

Permits & grants
Electrical permit pulled. EPCOR micro-gen application submitted. CEIP loan registered at 6.0% fixed. We handle the paperwork so you do not have to.
What can slow this down.
- This is the stage I do not control. The micro-gen approval and the city electrical permit both sit in a queue, and that queue does not care how organised my file is.
What I do about it.
- Everything gets filed the same week you approve the design, and I quote you the real queue time rather than the one that sounds better on a sales call.

Install day
One to two days on site. Dmitry (Master Electrician #13824) is on the electrical panel. Co-owner Kyle V., a Journeyman with 20 years on the tools, leads the roof. Zero subcontractors.
What can slow this down.
- Wind much over 40 km an hour, or ice on the deck, and we come down. Nobody carries a panel up a slick roof, and I am not going to pretend otherwise just to keep a date.
What I do about it.
- Weather days are built into the schedule from the start, so one bad morning does not push your whole job by two weeks.

Commission & monitor
EPCOR meter swap. App walkthrough. Then a 25-year panel warranty, 25-year micro-inverter warranty, and 5-year Raydn workmanship warranty in your inbox.
What can slow this down.
- The meter swap is the utility truck, not mine. It is the last wait and the one people find hardest, because the system is finished and sitting right there.
What I do about it.
- Your job is inspected, safe and complete before that day comes, and the paperwork is in your hands at install rather than weeks after it.
5 stages, and the honest answer on what delays each one. Photos are real jobs, and each one tells you what can delay it. Every photo above is a real Raydn job in the Edmonton area. No stock images, no renders.

The Work
Real Alberta jobsites. Real Raydn crew.
Lakefront install. All-black panels flush to the roof. Owner-operators on the ladder, safety harnessed, no subcontractors on site.

The same owner-operators on every install.
No subcontractors. No rotating strangers. The people who quote you are the people who wire your panel.
Owner & Master Electrician
Dmitry Naboka
Master Electrician #13824 · NAIT Business Diploma · 14 years in the trade
Dmitry designs every system, pulls every permit, and is on your panel install day. He owns the company because he wants to be on the tools, not on the phone selling.
Co-Owner & Journeyman
Kyle V.
Journeyman Electrician · 20 years on the tools · Roof-crew lead
Kyle V. leads the roof crew and every mechanical install. Two decades of electrical work means the rails are level, the flashing is watertight, and the panels sit exactly where they were designed to sit.
Warranty, in writing
25 · 25 · 10
25-year panel warranty. 25-year micro-inverter warranty. 5-year Raydn workmanship warranty. All three come as a signed PDF the day your system is commissioned.
Have more questions before you book? Our FAQ answers the twenty most common ones, and our solar calculator gives you a real number in 30 seconds.
The 25-year question nobody else answers
Solar is a 25-year relationship. Here is exactly what that looks like.
A good system outlives most trucks, most roofs, and plenty of companies. So the real question is not “how cheap” today, it is “who stands behind it” for the next quarter century. Here is the plain-English timeline, in writing, no salesperson translation required.
-
Years 1 to 10
The install itself is on us.
5-year Raydn workmanship warranty. If a connection we made fails in that window, we fix it, no invoice.
What that actually covers Tap to read it
Every panel we mount and every wire we run is covered for labour and installation. The roof we drilled is covered by our own crew, and every roof is structurally spec-checked before a single hole goes in.
My licence number is on the permit, Master Electrician #13824, so there is a name attached to that work for the next 25 years.
-
Year 12
The part that actually ages is covered.
12 years on most string inverters, up to 25 on microinverters. The manufacturer covers the part. We handle the swap.
Why the inverter is the one that ages Tap to read it
Panels sit there. The inverter is the component that works hardest, switching every second the sun is up, so it is the one that wears. We match the inverter to your roof instead of fitting whatever came in on the pallet. You keep producing through the swap.
-
Year 25
Your panels are still guaranteed to produce.
25-year performance warranty from the panel maker, not from us. It holds regardless of who is around to answer the phone.
My own roof, 4 years in Tap for the real numbers
Tier-1 panels guarantee a set percentage of rated output decades in, and that paperwork is backed by the panel maker. I do not have 25 years of my own data yet. I have 4.
My own 9.56 kW system has been on my roof since September 2022. December 2025 made 3 kWh for the whole month under snow cover. July 2026 made 1,360. Both numbers are off my own meter, not a brochure.
And if something breaks, here is who you call.
Not a call center. Not a ticket queue.
You call the owner
You call Dmitry, Master Electrician #13824.
The name on your permit
The same name written on your electrical permit.
Local, so the designer answers
We are Edmonton-based and local, so the person who designed your system is the person who picks up.
That continuity is the warranty that no glossy brochure prints, and it is the one the big players cannot promise you.
Where these numbers come from
The Section 64 requirements here are not house style. Alberta Municipal Affairs publishes the interpretation, STANDATA 18-ECI-064, Section 64 renewable energy systems, read 27 August 2026, and there is a plain language walkthrough of the section in the Guide to the Canadian Electrical Code, Section 64.
The interconnection side is regulation too. The Alberta Micro-generation Regulation is what your distribution facility owner is applying when it approves or sends back a micro-generation application.
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.
