A line-side connection approach avoided a main panel upgrade entirely, delivering 100% energy offset at a lower cost for this established west Edmonton home.
Project Overview
Smart Solar Engineering in Callingwood - Janet Crawford
Janet Crawford's Callingwood installation proves that smart engineering can reduce installation costs without sacrificing performance. By using a line-side connection, our certified electricians eliminated the need for a costly main panel upgrade, delivering 100% energy offset at a more accessible price point.
Project Background
Callingwood is an established west Edmonton neighbourhood where many homes date back to the 1960s and 1970s. Like a lot of older properties in the area, Janet's home had an electrical panel that would typically require an expensive upgrade before solar could be connected. Our team's solution was a line-side connection that feeds directly into the grid, bypassing the MPU requirement entirely. This innovative approach saved Janet thousands in upfront costs while delivering full energy coverage.
What Made This Project Unique
The line-side connection is one of several cost-saving engineering techniques our certified electricians employ to reduce installation costs for homeowners. Rather than defaulting to a main panel upgrade, our team assesses each home individually to find the most cost-effective solution. This is especially valuable in neighbourhoods like Callingwood where older homes from the 1960s and 1970s are common. Janet's system achieves 100% energy offset, generating 4,353 kWh annually.
