Our story

SkyFire Energy is an employee-owned Certified B Corp and Western Canada’s leading solar contractor. We have designed and installed grid-connected and off-grid solar power systems throughout Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and the Yukon. Our experience includes the design and installation of thousands of residential, commercial, utility-scale systems and many of the largest and most complex photovoltaic systems in Western Canada.

SkyFire Energy’s founder David Kelly, installed the first grid-tied solar PV (photovoltaic) installation on his home; a 600-watt solar electric system and a solar thermal system with two collectors.

When asked today about starting the business, Dave says he thought solar power was an interesting technology and could see it as a growing business, so he tested it out on his own house to start. This was a bold move since there was no return on solar investment at that time and it cost around $30 per watt compared to some projects at $3 per watt today.

Dave Kelly’s research suggested that all indications were the solar industry was starting to move from a cottage industry into the mainstream. “I guess I was a little early but my assumption was correct as we are seeing the growth today.“ says Dave Kelly.
