Solar Leads in Alberta
Connect with qualified solar prospects in Alberta. Real-time delivery, verified contacts, fully compliant.
Alberta is one of Canada's fastest-growing residential solar markets, propelled by the province's abundant sunshine, deregulated electricity market, and a cultural shift toward energy diversification in a province historically defined by oil and gas. Southern Alberta — particularly the region from Calgary south through Lethbridge to Medicine Hat — receives among the highest solar irradiance levels in Canada, with some areas exceeding 1,500 peak sun hours annually. Even Edmonton, further north, receives over 1,200 peak sun hours, making solar a viable investment across the province.
Alberta's deregulated electricity market is a unique advantage for solar adoption. Unlike provinces with regulated utilities and flat rates, Alberta's electricity prices fluctuate with market conditions, and homeowners have experienced significant price volatility and spikes in recent years. This volatility motivates homeowners to invest in solar as a hedge against unpredictable electricity costs. The province's micro-generation regulation allows homeowners to connect solar systems up to five megawatts to the grid and receive credits for excess generation at the retail rate.
Municipal programmes in Edmonton, Calgary, and other communities have supported solar adoption through group purchase programmes, Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing, and local incentives. The federal Canada Greener Homes Grant provides additional support. Alberta's solar market also benefits from the province's strong DIY culture and entrepreneurial spirit, with homeowners who are informed, motivated, and ready to invest. DashLeads captures these high-intent Alberta solar prospects at the moment they request quotes and delivers verified, geo-targeted leads in real time to installers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How strong is Alberta's solar resource?
Alberta has excellent solar resources, particularly in the south. Calgary receives approximately 1,400 peak sun hours annually, and areas like Lethbridge and Medicine Hat exceed 1,500 hours. Even Edmonton receives over 1,200 hours — sufficient for strong solar returns. Alberta's long summer days further boost annual generation.
How does Alberta's deregulated market affect solar demand?
Alberta's electricity price volatility — driven by the deregulated market — motivates homeowners to invest in solar as a way to stabilise their energy costs. Price spikes create surges in solar lead volume as homeowners seek to lock in predictable generation costs.
Can Alberta homeowners sell excess solar power?
Under Alberta's micro-generation regulation, homeowners with grid-connected solar systems receive credits at the retail electricity rate for any excess generation exported to the grid. These credits offset future electricity consumption, improving the financial return on solar investment.
Are solar leads available across Alberta or just major cities?
DashLeads generates solar leads from across Alberta. Calgary and Edmonton produce the highest volumes, but we also deliver leads from Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and rural communities where solar viability is often even higher due to greater sun exposure.
