My roof is only 5 years old. Is it worth installing solar now?

Yes, and it is arguably the best time. New roof means we do not have to remove and reinstall panels for a reshingle in 15 years. Panels are rated 25 to 30 years, so a young roof means one install cycle covers the full panel life.

Tier-1 panels with a 25-year manufacturer warranty against hail up to 25 mm at 80 km/h impact. Home insurance covers the rest. Zero panel claims across 70+ reviews.

What solar customers say

These are Google reviews, copied word for word. None of these customers are from Beaumont, and I am not going to pretend they are.

★★★★★

“The guys at Raydn completed a solar system at my property and I am thoroughly impressed with their workmanship. The system on the roof looks sleek and clean. There can be some unpredictable happenings like in all the trades but you can be sure that Raydn aren't taking that as a chance for shortcuts. The finished product top to bottom is first class and that's all there is to say really. I wouldn't look much further, unfortunately there are some solar companies that fall way short of what should be expected and people fall for their sales pitch so do your best to avoid all of the noise. Local is best.”

“If you're considering solar, look no further than Raydn Renewables. Dima and his crew were professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy from start to finish. From the moment he walked through the door, the service was handled with care and by the time the job was done, he hadn't just met my expectations, he'd blown past them. The whole team clearly takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about their customers. I felt confident every step of the way. If you're looking for a solar company you can actually trust, Raydn Renewables is it. Highly recommend!”

Why Local Matters

Out-of-province installers vs Raydn

Beaumont homeowners get pitched by BC, Ontario, and Calgary subcontracting outfits constantly. Here is the actual difference.

The big out-of-province guys6 to 14 months

Waiting from the day you sign the contract, not from the day you get the pitch.

Raydn Renewables4 to 8 weeks

Signed proposal to install. Same crew books the permit and the inspection.

Both bars sit on the same 14 month scale, drawn at the long end of each range. Everything below is what that gap is actually made of.

$400 on any completed project, plus $700 more if it hits a 30% energy reduction on a post job EnerGuide.

A Real Raydn Install

Real install, real numbers

Not a stock photo, and not a Beaumont job. This is our own work on a rural Alberta acreage. I am not going to put a photo behind a Beaumont headline and let you assume it happened here.

Completed 11.4 kW solar installation on a rural Alberta acreage, installed by Raydn Renewables

Acreage rooftop install, rural Alberta

11.4 kW system, 92% bill offset

A working farm on a rural Alberta acreage. Charcoal shingle roof, southwest exposure, 200A service. We walked the roof in the morning, audited the panel, and had the proposal in their hands before lunch. Install finished in two days.

No Beaumont job published yet. The day we finish one, it goes in this spot with the town on it and the real bill beside it. That is the whole reason this photo says Alberta instead of Beaumont.

Local Knowledge

What we know about Beaumont that out-of-province installers do not

Beaumont Industrial Park electrical demand patterns push your retailer rates higher in winter, and solar pulls you off the grid exactly when those rates spike
Cold Lake oil sands wages keep acreage discretionary income healthy, so financing approvals run high in this area
Most Beaumont rural builds have 200A service already, so it is rare to need a panel upgrade

Beaumont Solar FAQs

Honest answers, local to Beaumont

Questions we actually get from Beaumont customers. No marketing fluff.

Do solar panels work through Beaumont winters?

Yes, and better than people expect. Cold temperatures actually improve panel efficiency.

December and January

Slow

months

December and January are slow months.

The only thing that drops winter production is snow cover and shorter days.

March to October

Heavy

lifting

March through October do the heavy lifting.

Annual production targets are calculated on full-year averages, not peak month.

How long does the Beaumont permit process take?

Beaumont town permits typically clear in 2 to 3 weeks. Rural properties under City of Beaumont Planning & Development also run 2 to 3 weeks. Fortis Alberta net-metering paperwork runs in parallel. We handle both. You sign nothing at the utility yourself.

Can I do ground-mount on my acreage?

Yes, and for a lot of Beaumont acreage owners it makes more sense than rooftop. Ground-mount lets us face true south at optimal tilt for 54° latitude, avoids tree shading, and keeps the roof untouched. We size the frame for Alberta wind and snow loads.

What about hail?

Every panel we install is tier-1 with a 25-year manufacturer warranty against hail up to 25 mm at 80 km/h impact. Your home insurance covers the rest. We have not had a single panel claim in 70+ reviews.

Are you actually based in Alberta?

Yes. Edmonton headquarters, owner-operated, a Master Electrician on every install. We do not book Alberta jobs and hand them to a sub. The person who answers your call is the person on your roof.

One Crew, Every Trade

Everything we install in Beaumont

The same Master Electrician crew handles it all in Beaumont. Solar, batteries, EV chargers, panel upgrades. The name on the permit is the one on your roof.

Where these numbers come from

The CEIP numbers on this page, the 6.0 percent rate, the $50,000 residential ceiling and the 20 year term, come off the City of Edmonton page for the program, Clean Energy Improvement Program, read 27 August 2026. The city publishes 6.00 percent as the rate for the current tranche, and once your agreement is signed that rate is fixed for your whole term. The $50,000 residential cap is set in Bylaw 20678. The city caps the term at the lesser of 20 years or the useful life of the upgrades, so a shorter lived upgrade gets a shorter term.

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.
