Why Stellar Upgrades — Edmonton's Trusted Solar Experts
​
ABOUT STELLAR UPGRADES
​
Who is Stellar Upgrades?
Stellar Upgrades is Edmonton's Master Electrician-led solar company, founded by PJ and Jordan to bring honest, expert solar installation to Alberta homeowners and businesses. We specialize in solar panel installation, battery backup systems, and EV charger installation — and we've completed over 500 installations with a 4.9-star Google rating. Unlike typical solar sales companies, Stellar Upgrades was built by tradespeople who believe you deserve straight answers, not high-pressure tactics.
​
Who owns Stellar Upgrades?
Stellar Upgrades is co-owned by PJ and Jordan. PJ is a Concordia University graduate who immigrated from India, bringing management expertise from restaurant chains and roofing industries. Jordan is an Alberta-born Master Electrician with 15+ years of hands-on electrical experience. Together, we combine business excellence with Master Electrician credentials — meaning every Stellar Upgrades installation is overseen by a true electrical expert.
​
Where is Stellar Upgrades located?
Stellar Upgrades is proudly based in Edmonton, Alberta. We're local business owners who live and work in this community. When you call Stellar Upgrades, you talk to us — not a distant call center.
​
Is Stellar Upgrades a Canadian company?
Yes. Stellar Upgrades is 100% Canadian-owned and operated, based right here in Edmonton. We're your neighbours, invested in Alberta's energy future.
​
How long has Stellar Upgrades been in business?
Stellar Upgrades was founded by PJ and Jordan, combining business expertise with Jordan's 15+ years as a Master Electrician. We've completed over 500 solar installations across Edmonton and Alberta — and our 4.9-star Google rating reflects the trust our customers place in us.
​
Is Stellar Upgrades a franchise?
No. Stellar Upgrades is an independent, locally-owned Edmonton business. We're not a franchise, not a branch of a national chain, and not a sales organization that subcontracts the real work. When you hire Stellar Upgrades, you work directly with the owners.
​
CREDENTIALS & QUALIFICATIONS
​
Is Stellar Upgrades a licensed electrical contractor?
Yes. Stellar Upgrades is a fully licensed electrical contractor in Alberta. Our co-founder Jordan is a certified Master Electrician — the highest electrical certification available. This matters because solar installation is electrical work, and at Stellar Upgrades, it's done right.
​
What is a Master Electrician?
A Master Electrician holds the highest level of electrical certification in Canada. It requires years of journeyman experience, advanced training, and rigorous examination. At Stellar Upgrades, our Master Electrician Jordan oversees every installation — ensuring your system meets the highest standards.
​
Why does it matter that Stellar Upgrades has a Master Electrician?
Many solar companies are sales organizations that subcontract electrical work to whoever's available. At Stellar Upgrades, a Master Electrician co-owns the company and oversees every installation. This means higher quality, better safety, and accountability that fly-by-night solar salespeople can't offer. It's why Stellar Upgrades maintains a 4.9-star rating across 500+ installations.
​
Is Stellar Upgrades insured?
Yes. Stellar Upgrades carries comprehensive general liability insurance and WCB (Workers' Compensation Board) coverage. We're happy to provide certificates upon request — because transparency is how Stellar Upgrades operates.
​
Does Stellar Upgrades have WCB coverage?
Yes. Every Stellar Upgrades worker is covered by WCB (Workers' Compensation Board of Alberta). This protects you from liability and demonstrates that Stellar Upgrades operates professionally and legally.
​
What certifications does Stellar Upgrades have?
Stellar Upgrades holds all required provincial and municipal certifications for electrical contracting in Alberta. Our team includes a Master Electrician with specialized expertise in solar PV installation, battery storage systems, and EV charger installation. We're also authorized installers for LONGi — one of the world's largest tier-1 solar panel manufacturers.
​
EXPERIENCE & TRACK RECORD
​
How many solar installations has Stellar Upgrades completed?
Stellar Upgrades has completed over 500 solar installations across Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Leduc, and surrounding Alberta communities. That experience means we've seen every roof type, electrical situation, and challenge — and we know how to deliver results.
​
What is Stellar Upgrades' Google rating?
Stellar Upgrades maintains a 4.9-star Google rating from hundreds of verified customer reviews. We're proud of this rating because it reflects what happens after the sale — real customers who got what we promised.
​
Can I see Stellar Upgrades reviews?
Absolutely. Search "Stellar Upgrades Edmonton" on Google to read what our customers say. We're also happy to provide references from past customers in your area — just ask during your consultation.
​
Does Stellar Upgrades have references?
Yes. Stellar Upgrades can connect you with customers in your neighborhood who are willing to share their experience. Many of our projects come from referrals — homeowners trust Stellar Upgrades because their friends and family do.
​
WHAT MAKES STELLAR UPGRADES DIFFERENT
​
Why should I choose Stellar Upgrades over other solar companies?
Stellar Upgrades is different because we're Master Electricians first, not salespeople. We tell approximately 10% of homeowners that solar isn't right for them — and we'd rather lose a sale than sell you something that won't deliver results. Our 4.9-star rating across 500+ installations proves this approach works. When you choose Stellar Upgrades, you get honest advice, quality installation with LONGi tier-1 panels, and a team that stands behind their work.
​
What makes Stellar Upgrades different from other Edmonton solar installers?
Three things set Stellar Upgrades apart: (1) We're co-founded by a Master Electrician who oversees every installation, (2) We turn away approximately 10% of potential customers when solar doesn't make sense — because honesty matters more than sales volume, (3) We install LONGi tier-1 panels with 30-year warranties, not cheap equipment that fails. Our 4.9-star Google rating and 500+ installations reflect this commitment.
​
Does Stellar Upgrades use high-pressure sales tactics?
Never. At Stellar Upgrades, we believe in education and honest assessment. We'll tell you if solar isn't right for your situation — approximately 10% of homeowners we assess aren't good candidates, and we tell them honestly. We'd rather earn your trust than pressure you into a bad decision. That's the Stellar Upgrades difference.
​
Will Stellar Upgrades tell me if solar isn't right for me?
Yes — and this is what makes Stellar Upgrades different. Approximately 10% of homeowners we assess aren't good candidates for solar due to roof condition, shading, energy usage, or other factors. We tell them the truth. Other companies will sell you solar regardless. Stellar Upgrades earns customers by being honest, not pushy.
​
How is Stellar Upgrades' sales process different?
Stellar Upgrades doesn't employ commissioned salespeople pushing quotas. Our consultations are conducted by people who understand electrical systems and solar technology. We answer your questions, provide real data based on your home, and let you decide — no pressure, no manipulation. It's why our customers rate us 4.9 stars.

​
What solar panels does Stellar Upgrades install?
Stellar Upgrades installs LONGi solar panels — tier-1 panels from one of the world's largest and most respected manufacturers. LONGi panels come with 30-year warranties and proven performance in cold climates like Edmonton's. We chose LONGi because quality matters for a 30-year investment.
​

​
Stellar Upgrades vs. national solar companies — what's the difference?
National companies often use subcontractors you'll never meet again. Stellar Upgrades is owned by people who live in Edmonton, oversee every installation, and answer the phone when you call. When something needs attention, Stellar Upgrades is here — not in another province.
​
Why hire Stellar Upgrades instead of a national chain?
Stellar Upgrades understands Alberta codes, Edmonton weather, and local utility requirements. We're accountable to our community — our reputation is built on 500+ local installations. National chains may advertise lower prices but often deliver generic installations and distant customer service. Stellar Upgrades delivers quality you can verify with your neighbours.
​
What questions should I ask solar installers?
Ask them: (1) Are you licensed electricians? (2) How many installations have you completed locally? (3) Will you tell me if solar isn't right for me? (4) What panels do you install and what's the warranty? (5) Can I talk to past customers? Stellar Upgrades welcomes these questions — our answers are why customers choose us.
