About Kuby

At Kuby, we’re powered by people—certified professionals who bring trusted expertise, personalized care, and unmatched quality to every solar project, creating renewable energy solutions that inspire confidence, deliver long-term financial savings, and drive a brighter, more sustainable future.

Our Story

Kuby was built on a simple yet powerful belief: There’s a better way to energize society. Founded in 2015 by Jake and Adam, two industry professionals with an entrepreneurial drive and a passion for sustainable energy, Kuby is more than just a solar company—we are a team on a mission to transform the energy landscape in Canada.

Jake, a Master electrician who put in his time in the oil and gas sector, saw firsthand the need for a cleaner energy future during a transformative trip to Costa Rica. Inspired to create meaningful change, he joined forces with Adam, an engineer ready to leave the mining industry behind for something more impactful. Together, they brought a hands-on approach to solar energy, blending technical expertise with a commitment to quality and client care.

Unlike many competitors, our foundation is built by technical professionals with a relentless pursuit of quality and client satisfaction. What started as a two-person operation in Jake’s laundry room has grown into a trusted name in renewable energy, driven by the belief that solar power should be simple, and affordable. Today, we are a leading Western Canadian engineering and construction firm specializing in solar PV projects. Our offices in Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, and Kamloops have executed some of the biggest, most difficult, and most intricate solar PV projects in Alberta and British Colombia.

We are dedicated to our vision: to be the trusted leader in renewable energy, inspiring a sustainable future through innovative solutions and a relentless commitment to people, quality, and the planet. As we continue our path towards achieving this goal, we are seeking a resourceful and experienced Lead Structural Engineer to join our growing team.
