Microgeneration Program
When your solar system produces more electricity than your home is using, the extra energy automatically flows back to the grid. Your utility measures that exported energy and gives you dollar credits on your electricity bill at your retail electricity rate. Later, when your home needs power – like at night or during winter months – you draw electricity from the grid, and those credits help reduce or offset your bill.
Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP)
Alberta’s Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) helps homeowners install solar and other energy upgrades with little to no upfront cost by financing the investment through property taxes. Available in select municipalities, the financing stays with the home instead of your personal credit, which can make upgrades more accessible.
The Solar Club
The Solar Club helps Calgary homeowners lower the cost of going solar by leveraging group buying power to secure competitive pricing and support from vetted installers. Instead of navigating the process alone, homeowners join a community program that negotiates preferred rates while still delivering a custom-designed solar system tailored to each home.

Residential Solar Panel FAQs
Residential solar panel systems convert sunlight into electricity that powers your home and helps reduce electricity bills. Solar panels installed on your roof or property generate electricity during daylight hours, and an inverter converts this energy into the type of power your home uses. Your home consumes solar energy first, lowering the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the grid.
If the system produces more electricity than your home needs, the excess energy can either be sent back to the grid for credits through provincial programs or stored in a home battery for use at night or during outages. When solar production is low or after sunset, your home automatically draws electricity from the grid, ensuring a seamless and reliable power supply.
While residential solar panels generally last 25 to 40 years, the actual lifespan of your system will depend on a number of factors, such as its exposure to the elements, temperature, maintenance and more.

Other factors such as quality of materials and installation also play a role — but at Zeno, we’re confident that our experts can design, procure, and install residential solar panel systems that use only the best in solar technology today.
