This residential solar case study follows the Ganesan family in Beaumont, Alberta. Using real electricity bills, solar production data, and Alberta utility rates, it demonstrates how a properly designed rooftop solar system can reduce monthly energy costs and create long-term financial value.
Alberta’s electricity market creates unique opportunities for homeowners who install solar. Programs like Net Billing, Solar Club rate structures, and CEIP financing help maximize the value of solar energy and reduce the upfront cost of installation.
When a solar system produces more electricity than the home is using, the excess energy is exported back to the grid. Homeowners receive credits that can be applied to future electricity bills, helping offset winter energy costs.
Many Alberta solar homeowners take advantage of Solar Club programs that offer higher export rates during summer months when solar production is at its highest. This increases the value of exported energy.
The Clean Energy Improvement Program allows homeowners to finance energy upgrades through their property taxes. This helps reduce the upfront investment required to install solar.
This solar savings case study highlights the real-world performance of a residential solar system installed by Orizon Energy for the Ganesan family in Beaumont, Alberta.
Unlike estimates or sales projections, the results shown throughout this case study are based on actual utility bills, solar production data, and Alberta energy rates. This allows homeowners to see how solar performs in real conditions throughout the year.
Like many Alberta homeowners, the Ganesan family was looking for a way to reduce long-term electricity costs while investing in improvements that would add value to their home.
After reviewing their historical energy usage and future goals, Orizon Energy designed a solar system that would maximize annual production while helping the family maximize annual production and reduce long-term electricity costs.
Before installing solar, the Ganesan family’s electricity costs averaged approximately $183.55 per month, or about $2,200 per year.
Based on real utility data, the Ganesan family’s solar system significantly reduced monthly electricity costs while creating long-term financial value.
This chart compares the Ganeson family’s solar energy production against their household electricity consumption throughout the year.
