Solar and Energy Costs in Drayton Valley
Drayton Valley is a town of 7,291 people in Brazeau County, on Highway 22, the Cowboy Trail, about 133 km southwest of Edmonton. Oil and gas is the primary economic driver, with vast oil fields nearby, and agriculture and forestry also play a role. A sawmill operates locally, and the town has the Omniplex community sports centre, a public pool and a golf course.
That economy is heavy on shops, yards and service buildings. Many have large roofs and long lighting hours, which is where we start. But equipment-heavy sites with big motors, compressors or welders create short power spikes that drive demand charges, and solar does little for those.
So we read the actual bill and rate class before talking about a system, and we look at lighting and load changes first. For farms and acreages around the town, we look at which meter carries the load and when.
