WHY SOLAR
Paradigm Solar is dedicated to providing the most cost-efficient solutions for your home.
Globally, solar energy reigns as the most cost-efficient energy source, outperforming all others in terms of cost efficiency. It also has minimal environmental impact and occupies no additional land when installed on rooftops. Solar panels can be fully recycled after decades of use, contributing to the circular economy.
British Columbia
Alberta
While British Columbia may not be the sunniest place on earth, it still receives an average of 1,055 sun hours per year. A standardized 10 kW package is suitable for most BC houses, and today's high-performance panels only require around 500 sq ft of total roof space. Plus you can increase your total energy resilience even further by installing a home battery.
One of our 10 kW packages typically yields 10,550 kWh, while the average single-family detached home consumes about 12,000 kWh annually.

Alberta experiences one of the best geographical sunlight regions in North America. Albertans can have an average 312 days of sun per year and 2,405 hours of sun hours per year. The average home in Alberta consumes 7,200kWh of electricity which, in conjunction with the sun hours per year, provides the optimal region for a solar application.
Paradigm Solar can ensure we provide you with an opportunity to have a net positive energy bill.
