Usable roof area
Identify the roof areas you are considering and any features that interrupt the space. Exterior photographs and existing drawings can help explain the available area without relying on a building’s overall size.
Solar for your property
Solar panel installation in Calgary
Westland installs solar panels in Calgary. Tell us about your roof, electrical setup and proposed system to start planning the installation and any related electrical work.
Family owned. Serving Calgary since 1997.
How we can help
Look beyond the size of the roof.
Available roof area, direction, slope and nearby shade all affect a rooftop solar plan. The City of Calgary’s calculator considers these factors when estimating solar potential. It can help you begin researching your property; the installation still needs a site-specific review.
Sunlight and shade
Include nearby buildings and trees when describing the site. Shading, the direction the roof faces and its slope are part of evaluating solar potential for that property.
Panel layout and mounting
Solar panels can be mounted on racks parallel to a roof or at a different angle. Natural Resources Canada describes both approaches; the arrangement needs to be chosen for the building.
The existing electrical setup
Provide information about the panel and any other electrical changes you are considering. Equipment specifications or an existing solar proposal can help Westland discuss the installation work.
Before you get in touch
Consider the other work planned for the property.
Keep any solar proposals or equipment specifications together with your electrical panel details. Tell us if roof work, an addition or an EV charger is also planned. Include the preferred timing and any drawings already available so the discussion covers the full project and the decisions still to be made.

A few useful answers
Before you get started.
Have a question about your property? Call our Calgary office or include it with your enquiry.
Is the City’s solar calculator a final design or quote?
No. The City describes it as an initial information tool for single-family homes in Calgary. Its estimates are a starting point; a detailed site review and installation quote are still needed.
Can I contact Westland before choosing a solar system?
Yes. Start with the property and the questions you want to resolve. Explain what is already known about the site and which equipment choices remain open; a finished proposal is not needed for an initial enquiry.
What if roof work or a renovation is also planned?
Mention that work when you enquire, including the proposed timing and any available drawings. It is useful to consider the solar installation alongside other changes being planned for the same building.
Can we discuss solar and an EV charger together?
Yes. Westland’s services include solar and EV charger installation. Include your vehicle, parking arrangements and any solar plans so both parts of the electrical project can be discussed.
