InfernoEnergy (formerly Inferno Solar)
Everything you need, priced clearly. Wishlist items broken out separately so you decide what gets built.
Equipment selection considers schedule, not just spec. We design to get you in your building faster.
We challenge oversized specs. Capital shouldn't be tied up in equipment running at 10% capacity.
We lead the design intent. We direct the consultant and own the outcome.
Our electricians on every install. We control quality and schedule from first stepping on site to commissioning.
Yes — and snow is less of a problem than you think. Alberta's summers are exceptional for solar. Edmonton sits at 53° latitude, which means up to 17 hours of daylight on the longest days. That summer production surplus more than compensates for the lower winter months — and cold, clear winter days are actually ideal for panel efficiency. The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) Alternative Energy Program ran a multi-year study measuring snow impact across multiple installation angles in Edmonton and Grande Prairie. Result: most commercial rooftop systems see less than 5% reduction in annual production from snow. Steep ground mounts shed snow naturally and capture bifacial gain from reflected light. Wall-mounted panels shed snow almost entirely. Our solution for snow on most projects? Simply size the system 5% larger. Snow is a factor. It's not a reason to walk away from solar in Alberta.
Yes. InfernoEnergy offers a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) where we own and operate the solar system on your roof. You pay nothing upfront and buy the power it generates at a fixed rate below what you'd pay the grid. We handle everything: design, installation, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance. The savings are real, and so is the transfer of operating risk to a party that's better equipped to own it. If you'd prefer full ownership — where you claim the tax benefits and the power is essentially free after payback — we offer that too. We'll tell you honestly which option makes more sense for your situation.
When the designer and builder are different companies, the cracks show up in your project. The designer specifies something the builder says won't work. The builder prices to the drawing, not the intent. When something goes wrong, each points at the other. At InfernoEnergy, we lead the design intent — we carry the consultant in our contract and direct them on an optimized design. One relationship, one contract, one team, one set of accountabilities. If it doesn't work, it's on us to make it right. That's why 85% of our customers come back.
Yes — between 20% and 40% of your project cost may be recoverable through federal incentives alone. The Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (CT ITC) provides a refundable 20–30% credit directly off your tax bill. The Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (Class 43.1) lets you depreciate the system faster than standard equipment, reducing taxable income meaningfully in the early years. The two can be stacked. Run the numbers with your accountant — we'll provide the technical documentation they need.
