Why High River is a Strong Solar Market

Foothills Location — Excellent Sun Exposure

High River and Foothills County receive approximately 2,400 sunshine hours per year. The open landscape south of Calgary provides excellent solar irradiance with minimal shading.

Strong Agricultural Community

Farms and ranches in the High River area have significant electricity demands. Solar can dramatically reduce operating costs, and ground-mount systems can be sized to match even large agricultural loads.

Growing Acreage Development

Many High River-area residents live on acreage lots with large roof areas and open land — ideal for both rooftop and ground-mount solar systems.

Protection from Rising Electricity Rates

Alberta electricity rates have climbed significantly. A solar system locks in your own generation at a fixed cost, protecting you from future rate increases for 25+ years.
