💸 Typical price ranges
Most Celebright systems we install in Calgary range from $3,000 to $5,500, depending on the size and complexity of your roofline.
🏠 Factors that affect cost
Your final quote depends on details like:
✅ Total linear feet of roofline to cover
✅ Number of peaks, corners & trim details (more architectural features means more materials & planning)
✅ Custom tracks for unique designs or mounting needs
✅ Accessibility to installation areas (if lifts or scaffolding are required, it impacts cost)
📉 Why it pays off long term
With Celebright, there’s no more annual spend on temporary lighting, seasonal installers, or replacing damaged strings. You also save time and avoid risky climbs — all with a system that costs just pennies a day to run.
🔧 Our Calgary Celebright Installation Process
At Illuminate Solar & Electrical, we’ve refined our process to be efficient, accurate, and hassle-free for homeowners.
📝 1. Remote estimates using Google Earth
We start by measuring your roofline using high-resolution Google Earth imagery. We typically don’t need photos from you — unless you’re in a new neighborhood that Google hasn’t updated yet, or the view is blocked by trees or poor camera captures.
💻 2. Preparing your detailed estimate
Based on these measurements, we provide a clear estimate that factors in your roof’s length, complexity, accessibility, and any custom features.
🚪 3. On-site verification after estimate approval
Once you’re happy with the initial estimate:
We come to your home to verify measurements, discuss any alternative options or additions, and finalize your quote for approval.
✅ 4. Scheduling & securing materials
After quote approval, we collect a deposit to secure your installation date and order your materials.
🔨 5. Professional installation
Our licensed electricians install your system safely and to code. If special equipment like lifts or scaffolding is needed, we handle all of it.
📱 6. Walkthrough & app training
When your system is complete, we do a full walkthrough with you to ensure you’re thrilled with the installation, then teach you the basics of how to use the Celebright app.
📝 7. Warranty & final invoice
We send your final invoice along with your 25-year warranty certificate, which covers both parts and workmanship — giving you total peace of mind.
