WHY JOIN THE SOLAR CLUB® WITH CAMROSE ENERGY?

Solar Club® is an Alberta program for solar micro generators who want to get more value from the power they produce. When your panels are producing more electricity than you’re using, you can switch to the HI Rate™. When your solar production slows down, you can switch back to the LO Rate™. That way, your rate can better match what your system is doing through the year. With Camrose Energy, you get clear rates, easy sign up, and friendly help from real people in Camrose. We’ll help you understand how Solar Club® works, so you can make the most of the electricity your panels send back to the grid.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE SOLAR CLUB?

SEASONAL
HI AND LO RATES

With Solar Club®, you can switch between the HI Rate™ and LO Rate™ as your solar production changes through the year. Switch to the HI Rate™ in the sunnier months, when your system is sending more electricity back to the grid. Use the LO Rate™ in the winter, when you’re using more electricity than your panels are producing.

PRE-BILLING
INSIGHT

Before each invoice, you’ll get a Pre Bill so you can look at your usage and choose the rate that works best for that billing period. You can also apply the change back to your last meter read, which helps make sure your rate matches what actually happened that month. You can change rates once per month, giving you more control and more flexibility to make the most of your solar savings.

CASH BACK
REWARDS

With Solar Club®, you can earn cash back rewards on the grid electricity you buy.

There’s also an added bonus for EV owners who are enrolled in the program. It’s one more way to get a little more value from the electricity you use, whether it’s coming from your panels or from the grid.

CREDIT BALANCE
TOOLS

With Solar Club®, the credits you build up in the sunnier months can carry forward and help with your winter electricity bills.

That means the extra power your panels produce in the summer can still help you later in the year, when the days are shorter and your system is making less electricity.

PRE-SOLAR
RATETM

With the Solar Club’s Pre-Solar Rate™, you don’t have to wait until your solar system is fully up and running to start getting a better electricity rate. This discounted rate can help while you’re waiting for your installation, inspection, and final grid connection. It’s a simple way to get started with Camrose Energy before your panels officially go live.

These features make the Solar Club flexible and Member-friendly, helping you capture seasonal value without guesswork.

WHY GO SOLAR IN ALBERTA?

Solar can help lower the amount of electricity you buy from the grid, add long term value to your property, and support a cleaner Alberta.

If you’re looking into solar for your home or farm, visit The Benefits of Going Solar. It walks through costs, payback, and the basic steps to get started.

Some discounted plans may also require a prudential. A prudential is a fully refundable security deposit that helps protect against missed payments. It also lets us pass extra savings on to you.

As long as your account stays in good standing, the prudential is returned when the plan ends, or it can be credited toward future bills. Our team will explain the details before you sign up, so you know exactly how it works.

COMMON SOLAR CLUB QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE SOLAR CLUB®?

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.

WHAT ARE THE BEST SOLAR RATES IN ALBERTA?

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.

WILL I STILL HAVE AN ELECTRICITY BILL IF I GO SOLAR?

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.

HOW CAN I REDUCE MY ELECTRICITY BILL WITH SOLAR?

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.

HOW LONG DOES A SOLAR INSTALL TAKE TO PAY FOR ITSELF?

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.

IS A ZERO ELECTRICITY BILL POSSIBLE?

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.

WHY CHOOSE CAMROSE ENERGY FOR THE SOLAR CLUB?

Local people, clear answers, and friendly service from our Camrose office. We help you interpret your Pre-Bill, choose HI or LO at the right time, and make the most of your solar investment.  Learn more about the benefits of the Solar ClubTM here.

DOES THE SOLAR CLUB OFFER CASH BACK AND OTHER PERKS?

Yes. Members can earn cash back rewards on grid electricity, with an enhanced reward for EV owners, and can carry credit balances forward to help with winter bills.

CAN MY CREDITS HELP WITH MY NATURAL GAS BILL TOO?

Yes. Solar Club credits can be used toward electricity and natural gas with Camrose Energy, which adds helpful flexibility in winter.

WHAT IS A SITE ID AND WHY DO I NEED IT FOR SIGN UP?

Your Site ID is a 13 digit number that shows the electricity or natural gas service location for your Alberta home, farm, or business.

You’ll need this number when you switch to Camrose Energy. It helps us make sure your new electricity, natural gas, or Solar Club® plan is connected to the right meter.

You can usually find your Site ID on your current utility bill. If you don’t have it handy, you can use our lookup tool by entering your address and town.
