Flux Renewables’ Award-Winning Solar Installation in Alberta
In the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, just 40 minutes from Calgary, a bed and breakfast is now powered by one of the most impressive residential solar installations in Canada. Designed and installed by Flux Renewables, this 18.63kW system has earned the title of Residential Project of the Year in APsystems’ 2024 Canadian Installation Awards — and for good reason.
What makes this system stand out isn’t just the beautiful setting, but its ability to handle a real-world challenge: shade. With trees, cloud cover, and mountain terrain constantly impacting the site, Flux needed a solution that could adapt. APsystems microinverters were the clear choice.
“The combination of safety, dependability, advanced tech, affordability, and simple installation made APsystems the right fit,” said Tanner Robertson, CEO and Founder of Flux Renewables. “This setup experiences plenty of shade—yet the APsystems microinverters manage it efficiently.”
Each panel benefits from independent MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking), ensuring high performance even in variable conditions. The result? Reliable energy production, reduced energy bills for the B&B owner, and a powerful demonstration of solar tech in action.
This isn’t Flux’s first standout project. In fact, the client was referred by a neighbor who also had an APsystems installation—last year’s entry in the same competition. That kind of word-of-mouth speaks volumes.
With a focus on small-scale commercial, agricultural, and residential installs, Flux Renewables is carving out a name for itself as a trusted installer in Western Canada. And according to Robertson, their six years working with APsystems has built a foundation of trust.
“No electronic product is perfect, but APsystems has always stepped up. Any defects were replaced quickly and without hassle. That kind of support matters.”
This award-winning project showcases the future of solar: smarter systems, adaptable tech, and installers who go above and beyond to deliver results that work in the real world.
