Stop Donating Your Solar Surplus to Legacy Utilities
Standard power plans make it almost impossible to pay off your solar investment. While big utilities lock you into low, single-digit payout rates all year, the Big Rock Power Solar Club lets you take advantage of the sunny summer months to build up a massive balance of bill credits.
Fabulous Return on Your
Solar Panel Investment
35 ¢/kWh
This is what you will get when you export electricity to the grid from your solar panels.
The Seasonal Problem
Alberta solar owners consistently lose money because they use a static utility rate year-round. In July, your roof is a power plant producing massive excess generation that you sell back for pennies. In January, your production drops and you buy expensive power from the grid. Traditional billing structures ensure the utility conglomerate wins both seasons.
The Bi-modal Solution
The Big Rock Power Solar Club operates on a flexible framework. You switch your rate strategy based on the position of the sun with just ten days notice.
The Summer Strategy (March through October):
-
Move your plan to our 35¢/kWh High Export Rate. Every single excess kilowatt-hour your array pumps back into the grid earns a premium credit, generating massive dollar-surpluses.
The Winter Strategy (November through February):
-
Drop your plan to our 8.40¢/kWh Low Import Rate. As your panel production dips, you draw grid power at a steep discount, completely insulated from the volatile default Rate of Last Resort pricing.
Your Fixed Winter Insulation Ledger
The Solar Club framework eliminates the guesswork of energy volatility by utilizing pre-set, symmetric seasonal pricing. When winter arrives, there are no complex equations or variable pricing choices for you to manage. Your rate switches securely to a single, locked-in winter import baseline. This fixed structure keeps your winter heating and grid costs as low as possible, ensuring that your expensive winter bills do not eat up the massive premium credits you accumulated during the summer.
