The Starise System

Three systems.
One standard.

Solar, electrical, and permanent lighting — designed, installed, and signed off by one in-house team, built to the Canadian Electrical Code.

One home upgrade, three systems, a single standard. Every job built to CSA C22.1 — permitted, inspected, and closed out by the same crew that installed it.

01 — Permanent Lighting

Architecture after dark.

A 24V Gen 2 LED system recessed into custom aluminium channel — invisible by day, yours to control by night. IP68 puck nodes every 8 inches, individually addressable, run from one app.

Recessed channel. Bright when it matters, quiet when it doesn't.

24V system

Twice the voltage of standard 12V — brighter output, less heat, no end-of-run dimming on long eaves.

IP68 hardware

Fully submersible RGBWW puck nodes in custom aluminium channel. ETL/UL/cUL/CE/FCC/RoHS certified, rated −40°C to +60°C.

App in one tap

iOS and Android. 75,000+ effects, 16M-colour mixing, auto sunset/sunrise, scheduled scenes, multi-zone control.

100,000+ hr lifespan

Roughly 22 years of nightly use before a single LED needs attention. No bulbs to change, no ladder, no annual service.

$4–$8/month to run

About 0.96W per node. A full-home install draws less than a single 60W incandescent — most owners see no change on the bill.

Pay once. Done.

No subscription, no premium tier, no firmware paywall. One install, every feature, every update — yours.

02 — Solar

Clean power,
built around the roof.

Residential arrays designed for the roof you have, the load you actually use, and the inspection regime Alberta runs on. Permits, interconnect paperwork, and accredited safety-codes inspection — coordinated end to end.

Residential solar array installed on a Calgary roof
Engineered for Alberta snow load — CSA-listed panels, module-level rapid shutdown.

CSA-listed hardware

Panels and microinverters carry the certifications Alberta inspectors check for, including CSA C22.2 No. 107.1 for inverters. No off-list parts on the roof.

Alberta roof engineering

Layout and mounting engineered for Alberta snow load and wind exposure — not a southern template stretched onto a Calgary roof.

Grid-tied, net-metered

Designed to sell production back through your utility's net-metering program. We coordinate the interconnect agreement so you don't chase paperwork.

Rapid shutdown + GFP

Rapid shutdown and ground-fault protection per CEC Section 64. The system de-energizes at module level the moment a first responder needs it down.

Permits + inspection

Permits pulled and an accredited Safety Codes Council inspection coordinated for every install. We manage the booking, not you.

Per-panel monitoring

App-based panel-level monitoring shows production per panel, per day. If a module underperforms, you see it before we do — and we still see it.

03 — Electrical

Licensed work,
to the current code.

Service upgrades, EV chargers, sub-panels, and exterior circuits — every job run by a Licensed Master Electrician and built to the current Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1). Permits pulled, inspections coordinated, paperwork filed.

200A electrical panel upgrade by a Licensed Master Electrician
200A panel upgrades sized for solar back-feed and EV charging — permitted and inspected.

Master Electrician

Every job run by an Alberta-certified Licensed Master Electrician. Not a helper, not a sub — the certificate holder is on the job.

CEC C22.1 to code

All work to the current Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) — the same standard the inspector grades against.

Permits + inspections

Permits pulled and municipal inspections coordinated through Alberta's accredited Safety Codes Council process. Records stay on file.

200A panel upgrades

Service and panel upgrades to 200A as standard, larger on request. Sized for solar back-feed, EV charging, and future load.

Level 2 EV chargers

Dedicated 240V circuits sized to the charger and panel headroom. EVEMS load management installed where the panel can't take the full draw.

GFCI / AFCI protection

GFCI and AFCI protection per CEC on exterior receptacles and branch circuits. Bonded, insured, and logged on the permit record.

Built in Canada. Built to last.

Three systems.
One Canadian standard.

The three lines aren't loosely related — they share the same code book, the same crews, and the same paperwork. That's how a solar array, a panel upgrade, and a lighting system end up feeling like one decision instead of three.

Solar

For the bill.

  • Net-metering credits offset peak-rate consumption against your retailer.
  • Per-panel monitoring catches a shaded or failing module before it costs you a season.
  • Sized to your actual usage history, not a one-size template.
  • Battery and EV-charger ready when the panel supports it.
Electrical

For the home.

  • 200A service headroom for solar, EV charging, hot tubs, and future loads.
  • GFCI/AFCI protection on exterior and branch circuits, per current CEC.
  • Permit and inspection records filed with the municipality — useful at resale.
  • One licensed crew responsible from disconnect to final sign-off.
Lighting

For Alberta evenings.

  • About $4–$8/month to run — less than one 60W incandescent.
  • 100,000+ hour lifespan, no bulbs to swap, no annual service call.
  • Auto sunset/sunrise scheduling — lights run only when needed.
  • Recessed aluminium channel that reads as architectural in daylight.

Peace of mind

Backed across all three lines.

Every install is warranted to the standard the system actually needs — lighting, solar, and electrical each get coverage that matches its expected lifespan. No fine print, no "voids if tampered with" nonsense.

5yr

Lighting product warranty

Five years on LED fixtures, controllers, and low-voltage wiring — if it fails in normal use, we replace it at no charge.

25yr

Solar performance warranty

25-year panel performance, plus 10–25-year inverter coverage depending on brand. We keep the registration paperwork on file.

Code

Electrical workmanship

Workmanship warranty on every electrical install, with permit and inspection records on file if the next owner — or the city — ever asks.

Certifications & compliance

The details, by service line.

Lighting hardware certified to UL, cUL, ETL, CE, FCC, and RoHS. Solar to CSA C22.2 No. 107.1. Electrical signed off by a Licensed Master Electrician under the current Canadian Electrical Code.
