Customer Reviews

Dave Morley

We had an excellent experience working with Solar YYC for our solar system installation. Their pricing was very competitive, and the design they proposed was both efficient and well-thought-out. The products they use are clearly high quality, and the installation itself was completed with care and professionalism. Throughout the entire process, the customer support was outstanding. Our sales representative was quick to respond and took the time to answer every question we had, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. What truly sets Solar YYC apart is their after-sales and warranty support. They were just as attentive after the installation as they were before it, which clearly shows that Solar YYC is a company that stands behind its products and values its customers long-term. Highly recommended for anyone considering a solar installation.

Solar YYC was great throughout the process. The sales team was responsive and the field crews were efficient and respectful. They also provided me with an EV charger at a very fair rate. Would recommend for both solar and ev charger installs. Will be reaching out regarding a heat pump installation next year!

Michael Burr

I experienced top notch service from Solar YYC. Grady was my sales associate who provided a detailed and thorough presentation of the proposed installation and was patient with me as I asked questions on the more technical aspects of the service. Rodney was excellent with communication throughout the permitting and Fortis Alberta phase, and then the installers were polite, efficient and provided a neat and tidy installation. I had contacted 3 companies for a solar proposal, Solar YYC were the most professional and offered a fair price for the system. They worked with me to get the largest capacity possible and ensured the design kept the panels in a discreet location but still maximising sun exposure. It is my pleasure to recommend Solar YYC for your project, in a field of many players these guys are pros.

Solar YYC was excellent to deal with. They were knowledgeable, professional, on time, on budget, and did excellent work. We are very pleased with our rooftop solar and very glad we chose Solar YYC, who made the whole process go smoothly. They guided us through all the steps, including the Canada Greener Homes process, and provided post installation support and documentation.

Our solar installation by SolarYYC was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Their care for their clients was evident by each indvidual that we interacted with. It started with Tyler and the proposal that was built for us. He was the ONLY estimator from all the companies we received quotes from that pointed out that although we were able to meet our generation needs with a set of panels accomodated by our existing 200amp panel, should we choose to add panels in the future we would need an upgraded panel with a larger bus bar. By including the panel upgrade in our initial install we were able to maximize our Greener Home Loan and ensure in the future adding panels is as simple as new panels and microinverters and not more complicated wiring. Paul took over and handled the project management seamlessly. We were kept informed of all status updates on permits and construction schedule. The installation was smooth and tidy and exactly to plan. When we had issues with new GFIC breakers that were unintentially tripping, Paul and the team at SolarYYC made sure it was right before closing out our project. In the end, SolarYYC comes with our highest recommendation and we look forward to calling them up in the future when its time to add to our system.
