Projects
Commercial
SPCA
100 panel 31 kW system. Looking for long term cost savings for a non-profit organization. Solar was part of the retrofit that included updated ventilation and other energy saving measures.
Pat Cameron, director of the Saskatoon SPCA, describes the special needs of the facility that make solar power such a good fit: “Due to chemicals, animal and other waste, water consumption, and 24/7 operations, animal shelters have a huge environmental footprint and consume massive amounts of energy. Both the financial savings and carbon reduction are wins for the shelter, which as a charity is keenly interested in control of expenses.”
The SPCA solar power system won the Rob Dumont Project of the Year Award in 2017.
Commercial
SES Solar Coop - Two Twenty Building
90 panel 27.45 kW system. Looking to offset some power usage (power exceeded the ability for for the area of the roof to generate power with current technology) as well as lay the groundwork for group ownership and financing of solar projects for those that could not afford to outright buy their own solar power systems.
Off Grid
Remote Cabin

Owners wanted a power system that would fulfill their needs for a comfortable cabin at the lake and be reliable. Offers internet monitoring of most systems, including generator startup, and battery charge levels.

Ground Mount
