Solar and Energy Costs in Olds
Olds is a town of 9,209 people in Mountain View County, at the junction of Highways 27 and 2A, about 5 km west of Highway 2, roughly 90 km north of Calgary and 61 km south of Red Deer. The economy is agriculture-based, with canola and barley crops and cattle and poultry livestock, and many surrounding farms also keep horses. Olds College of Agriculture and Technology is known for its agriculture technology programs. A big-box retail centre opened in 2008.
Winters here often drop to -30°C or lower, so heating loads are high and winter solar output is low. We size against a full year of use and production instead of judging a system on a summer month.
For farms and horse operations, we look at barns, arenas, shops and grain handling on one or more meters. For businesses in town, we look at daytime load, roof size and demand charges.
