At Kelson Group, our mission is simple yet powerful: to help our residents live better. That goal drives every decision we make—from the way we design our spaces to the way we care for our communities. And now, we’re taking that commitment to the next level with a solar panel upgrade to The Ridgewood Apartments in Edmonton.
But this isn’t just about adding solar panels to a rooftop. It’s about aligning innovation with our core values and our Certified Rental Building (CRB) program standards, which ensure our residents live in well-managed, environmentally conscious communities they can trust.
Sustainability Meets Responsibility
Responsibility—toward our residents, our team, and the planet—is a cornerstone of Kelson Group’s values and a core element of the CRB program certification. Our solar initiative directly reflects this commitment. By reducing our reliance on traditional energy sources, we’re lowering our carbon footprint while enhancing operational efficiency—both key pillars of CRB-certified living.
That means:
- Lower utility expenses (where applicable)
- Cleaner energy use
- A smaller environmental impact—something we can all feel good about
When you choose a CRB-certified community like The Ridgewood, you’re choosing a home where quality, care, and responsibility are built in.
Innovating for Better Living
We believe that apartment living should be comfortable, sustainable, and future-focused. Our solar panel investment is more than an energy upgrade—it’s a promise of better living backed by CRB standards of excellence.
This isn’t just an investment in energy. It’s an investment in:
- Peace of mind, knowing your home is powered more sustainably.
- Future-forward living, with reduced energy consumption.
- A shared sense of purpose—because every resident becomes part of a bigger impact.
Creating Communities That Shine
Kelson Group isn’t just about buildings—we are about people. And just like solar energy draws strength from the sun, our CRB-certified communities thrive when people feel valued, heard, and cared for.
“The tenants and I are both happy and very excited to be the first property in the Kelson Group Alberta portfolio to have the solar panels added to the building,” says building manager, Jenalyn Soriano.
This solar panel upgrade is part of a bigger vision—to create brighter, smarter, CRB-certified communities that deliver on our promise to help our residents live better. From the ground up to the rooftop, every decision we make is guided by trust, sustainability, and care.
