WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE SOLAR CLUB?
SEASONAL
HI AND LO RATES
PRE-BILLING
INSIGHT

CASH BACK
REWARDS

WHY GO SOLAR IN ALBERTA?
Solar can reduce what you buy from the grid, add long-term value to your property, and support a cleaner Alberta. If you are exploring solar for your home or farm, visit The Benefits of Going Solar for costs, payback, and simple steps to get started. A prudential is a fully refundable security deposit that protects against missed payments on certain discounted plans. Think of it as a one-time investment that allows us to pass extra savings on to you. If you maintain your account in good standing, the prudential is returned to you when the plan ends or can be credited toward future bills. Our team explains every detail up front so there are no surprises when you sign up.
COMMON SOLAR CLUB QUESTIONS
A program for micro-generators that offers seasonal HI and LO electricity rates, cash-back rewards, and helpful tools like Pre-Bill to maximize the value of your solar production.
The “best” rate depends on your production and usage. Micro-generators often choose the HI Rate during sunny months and the LO Rate when they are buying more from the grid. Check current Solar Club postings and your Pre-Bill to decide.
You will still see delivery and fixed charges, but strong summer exports can create credits that help cover winter costs. Some Members report near-zero electricity charges during high-production periods, depending on usage and system size.
Produce as much solar power as your site allows, monitor both your electricity draw and panel output, and use that information to stay efficient. Switch to the HI Rate when you export more than you use, choose the LO Rate when importing, carry credits forward, and review your Pre-Bill each month to pick the best setting for maximum savings.
Payback varies by system size, sunlight, and electricity pricing but with the Solar ClubTM and good energy habits, may customers reduce their solar payback time to as little as 6 years.
It can be. High production seasons and energy efficient planning, coupled with the Solar Club’s HI Rate, often allows Members to earn enough credits to offset their bills during low production months – meaning a zero electricity bill all year round.

WHAT IS A SITE ID AND WHY DO I NEED IT FOR SIGN UP?
Your Site ID is a 13-digit number that uniquely identifies the electricity or natural gas service location for your Alberta home, farm, or business. You’ll need this number to switch to Camrose Energy so we can connect your new electricity, natural gas, or Solar Club™ plan to the correct meter.
If you can’t find the Site ID on an existing bill, simply enter your address and town in our easy lookup tool to retrieve it.
