Big Rock Power Solar Advantage
Do you have solar panels? Let’s make them work harder for you. At Big Rock Power, we believe your investment in solar energy should pay off; faster and better. That’s why we offer a premium price for any excess electricity you send back to the grid, giving you an accelerated return on investment.
Here’s How it Works:
Earn More – We pay above-market rates for the electricity your solar panels export to the grid. More cash in your pocket, plain and simple.
Earn Even More Cash - 3% cash back on all energy imported from the grid, and an additional 3% cash back on bundled natural gas usage, paid out annually
Ultimate Flexibility – Switch between rates when it makes the most sense for you, penalty-free. No hoops to jump through—just smart, straightforward energy management.
No Fine Print – No confusing terms, no gimmicks—just a program that actually helps you get the most from your solar investment.
Made for Albertans, by Albertans – We know the ins and outs of the Alberta energy market. We regularly meet with industry and government leaders to push for fair policies that benefit solar users like you.​

Big Rock’s Solar Ready™ Program and Exclusive Pre-Solar Rate™!
Waiting for your solar system to go live? We’ve got you covered.
​
Going solar is exciting, but let’s be real—the setup process takes time. That’s why we created the Big Rock Power Solar Ready Program. It gives you access to exclusive, discounted electricity rates while you wait for your system to be fully up and running.
If you’re at one of these stages, you qualify:
You’ve signed a contract to install a solar PV system.
You’re waiting on your bidirectional meter to be installed.
Your site is pending approval as a micro-generation site.
How it works:
-
Sign up for our Pre-Solar Rate and lock in lower electricity costs while you wait.
-
Once your system is officially micro-generation ready, we’ll automatically move you to our premium solar export program—no extra steps, no hassle.
-
If your system isn’t ready within 180 days, don’t worry—we’ll shift you to the lowest available fixed rate.
We make solar simple. Start saving today, even before your panels start producing!
What is Micro-Generation?
Micro-generation is just a fancy way of saying producing your own electricity using renewable energy—like solar panels or wind turbines—right where you live or work. Homeowners, small businesses, and even community buildings can generate their own power to help cover their electricity needs.
​
Here’s the best part: if you generate more electricity than you use, the extra power goes back into the grid, and you get credits on your bill. It’s like turning your rooftop into a mini power plant that pays you back!
​
In Alberta, small micro-generators (systems under 150 kilowatts) get credited at the same rate they pay for electricity—meaning you’re fairly compensated for the energy you contribute.
If you’re at one of these stages, you qualify:
The size limit for micro-generation increased from 1 megawatt to 5 megawatts, making it easier for businesses and communities to generate more of their own power.
Micro-generation systems can now supply power to adjacent sites, giving even more flexibility in how Albertans use renewable energy.
With micro-generation, you’re not just saving money—you’re taking control of your power and helping build a cleaner, more sustainable Alberta. Ready to get started? We’ve got the expertise to help!
