What solar customers say
These are Google reviews, copied word for word. None of these customers are from Sherwood Park, and I am not going to pretend they are.
★★★★★
“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!”

“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.”
Cheapest CEIP rate in the metro, and the county has closed it to new pre-qualifications because it hit capacity. I would rather tell you that now than after you have signed something. If it reopens I will hear about it.

Local to Sherwood Park, and staying that way
Sherwood Park is minutes east of home base, so you get a genuinely local crew. The person who sizes your system is the one you call a year later.
The travelling crew, and us, side by side
A crew already on this route
The travelling crew
I walk your roof before I put a price on it
A fast number off a photo, roof never seen
My own licensed crew does the install
Whoever the travelling outfit had free that week
A warranty call rings my phone
Nobody left to call when the inverter faults
Still working Strathcona County next winter
Already three towns down the highway
The install is the easy part. The real question is who answers the phone in year three.
What it costs, and what is included
Same market, same honest pricing as Edmonton. Roughly $20,000 to $22,000 for a typical 7 to 8 kW Sherwood Park home, all-in.
5 kW system
$14k to $18k
Smaller roof, lower usage
7 to 8 kW system
$20k to $22k
Where most Sherwood Park homes land
10 kW system
$25k to $31k
The bigger Strathcona builds, or an EV in the garage
Turnkey means all seven of these are already in the number
Panels
Inverter
Racking
Licensed electrical
Permit
Inspection
Micro-gen paperwork
Anchor is about $2.75 per watt, before financing, and you pay 5 percent GST only because Alberta has no PST. A lot of Sherwood Park roofs are big enough to carry a bigger system. That moves the total, not the per watt number.
Net metering and winters, same as next door
Credits
Same micro-generation framework
Surplus solar earns credits that offset your night and winter draw. We handle the meter swap and the micro-generation agreement.
Winter
Panels work all year
Cold helps efficiency, snow sheds off angled glass, short days are planned for. Sized for the full year, not one month.
Rebate
No phantom grant
No active Alberta solar rebate in 2026, in Sherwood Park or anywhere. CEIP is financing, not free money.
I run a full system on my own nearby roof. My home runs on a system I installed and monitor daily.
I would not sell a Sherwood Park homeowner a system I would not put on my own house. Here is the receipt.
My own roof
9.56 kW
Across four roof faces
May to June, exported
678 kWh
More than my house used
What the retailer sent back
A credit
Big enough to cover my gas bill too
Same climate, same framework your Sherwood Park system runs on. Model your own numbers with the calculator, then call me and I will confirm them on your actual roof.
Honest Answers
The questions homeowners actually ask
From a Master Electrician's chair, not a salesperson's script.
Do you install solar in Sherwood Park?
Yes. Sherwood Park and the rest of Strathcona County are in our regular service area just east of Edmonton, and we install there often. You get the same licensed Master Electrician crew, the same honest all-in pricing, and the same end-to-end handling of the micro-generation paperwork. With solar, hiring local is protection: the person who sizes and installs your system should still be around when you have a question later, not a traveling crew that has moved on.
How much does solar cost in Sherwood Park?
About the same as Edmonton, since it is the same market and crew. A full installed system runs like this, all-in before financing, with the per watt anchor under all of it.
For 5 kW
roughly $14,000 to $18,000
For 7 to 8 kW
around $20,000 to $22,000
And for 10 kW
roughly $25,000 to $31,000
At an anchor of
around $2.75 per watt
Many Sherwood Park homes are larger with bigger roofs, which can point to a larger system, but the per-watt math stays the same and every quote is turnkey.
Does net metering work in Sherwood Park?
Yes. Sherwood Park homes are on the same Alberta micro-generation framework, so your surplus solar earns credits that offset the power you draw at night and in winter. We handle the bi-directional meter and the micro-generation agreement with your utility as part of the install. The seasonal logic is the same as Edmonton: bank summer surplus to carry you through the short winter days.
Is there a solar rebate in Sherwood Park?
No. There is no active Alberta residential solar rebate in 2026, and that is true in Sherwood Park and Strathcona County just like the rest of the province. Strathcona County has closed CEIP to new pre-qualifications, and CEIP was a loan on your tax bill anyway, not a rebate. If anyone quotes you a current Alberta solar grant in Sherwood Park, they are not being straight with you.
Do solar panels work through Sherwood Park winters?
Yes, exactly as they do just west in Edmonton. Panels produce year round, more in summer and less in the short winter days, and cold weather actually improves efficiency. Snow sheds off the angled dark glass, usually within a day or two. A properly sized Sherwood Park system is built around the full year, which is why my own nearby system runs the annual bill negative across the seasons.
How do I get a quote for my Sherwood Park home?
Model it first with our solar calculator using your real usage and roof, then call me to confirm. I quote off your actual power bill and a look at your roof, not a square-footage guess. Because we serve Sherwood Park directly, I can walk your roof, check shading and your electrical panel, handle the paperwork, and give you a firm turnkey number with nothing hidden.
I run 9.56 kW on my own roof in Edmonton. From May 5 to June 2, 2026 I exported 678 kWh more than I used and the bill came back at -$109.98. The four year record is up too, 31,581 kWh since September 2022, December included.
Model your roof with the calculator, then call me. I walk the roof, check shading and your panel, and hand you a firm turnkey number with nothing hidden.
The same Master Electrician crew handles it all in Sherwood Park. Solar, batteries, EV chargers, panel upgrades. The name on the permit is the one on your roof.
