@DavidM_yeg In Regina, we found a co-op that puts together batches of solar jobs and gets bids: https://www.wascanasolarco-op.com/ They also advocate for you if anything is wrong, and know who the good installers are. Maybe there is a similar group in Edmonton?

@DavidM_yeg Our installer was Zeno Renewables however I note Nova is on the Solar Alberta site which makes feel they're at least reputable. https://solaralberta.ca/service-provider/nova-renewables/

@DavidM_yeg These kinds of big projects tend to just start suddenly despite all the efforts to schedule. Power to the house temporarily gets shut off for some of the day, but if there's a wrong part or whatever that extends to maybe the full day. You should have some battery backups for anything critical. If you end up booking a fall install, there may be project over runs or illness. Fall can easily turn into a Winter install. There might be talk about the need for some kind of pest barrier, but I think that's very situation specific. You have a frequent returning guest that you know of perhaps. Peek into the roof to make sure there's no leaks that you know of. Winter/Spring is a great time to spot the unexpected ice and to fix it before the install.
