This lets you maximize the potential of your solar install and reduce or even elimiate your electricity bills.

With Camrose Energy you’ll get clear rates, a simple sign-up process and friendly help from our team of local solar experts in Camrose. We’ll explain how the Solar Club works and hlep you make better use of your solar.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE SOLAR CLUB®?

SEASONAL HI AND LO RATES

There isn’t one solar rate that works best all year. The right choice depends on how much electricity your panels produce and how much power you’re using. Choose the HI Rate™ during sunny months when you’re sending more electricity to the grid. Switch to the LO Rate™ when you’re buying more power than your panels produce.

PRE-BILLING INSIGHT

Before each invoice, you’ll receive a Pre-Bill showing whether you sent more electricity to the grid than you used or bought more than you produced. This makes it easier to choose the rate that fits that billing period. If you exported more power you can request the HI Rate™. If you imported more you can request the LO Rate™. Your rate change can be applied back to your last meter read, and you can switch once each month. Watching your Pre-Bill, electricity use and solar production can help you get more from your system and lower your overall costs. If the meter information doesn’t look right, contact our team and we’ll help sort it out.

CASH BACK REWARDS

Solar Club® members can earn cash back on electricity purchased from the grid. Members who own an electric vehicle may also qualify for an added cash back reward.

CREDIT BALANCE TOOLS

Credits earned during sunny months can carry forward and help with your winter electricity bills. They can also be used toward natural gas bills with Camrose Energy. This gives you another way to use those summer credits when Alberta gets colder and solar production slows down. You’ll still receive a regular utility bill showing delivery fees and other fixed charges. Strong summer production can build credits that help cover those costs later in the year. Depending on your system size and how much electricity you use you may see a very small balance or even no amount owing during some billing periods. Some members may build enough credits to cover most or all of their electricity costs over the year.

PRE-SOLAR RATETM

You don’t need to wait for your solar system to go live before getting a better electricity rate. The Pre-Solar Rate™ is a discounted rate for future Solar Club® members who are waiting for installation. It lets you start saving with Camrose Energy while your solar project is being completed.

A Note About Prudentials

Some discounted plans may require a prudential, which is a fully refundable security deposit. It helps protect against missed payments and allows us to offer added savings. As long as your account stays in good standing, the deposit will be returned when the plan ends or added as a credit toward future bills. We’ll explain everything before you sign up, so you’ll know how it works.

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.
