September 2011 Archives

Solar Canada 2011 is the largest and most influential conference and trade show for the solar industry in Canada. The number of exhibitors at this annual solar marketplace increased from 40, in 2007, to 198 in 2010. And attendance jumped from 400 visitors, in 2007, to more than 4,000 last year.

CanSIA, Canada's solar advocate, is working to support the solar industry's bid to have solar energy widely deployed throughout Canada as a recognized and established component of Canada's energy mix, enabled by a solar industry that competes on a global playing field. By 2015, the solar industry is expected to support more than 35,000 jobs in the economy and displace 15 to 31 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year, providing a safer, cleaner environment for generations to come.

Stand Up for Solar offers a number of educational tools for the public-at-large to learn more about how solar energy works, the real costs associated with the production and transmission of solar energy and important facts and figures associated with the industry.

The website also provides one location for interested individuals to show their support for solar energy and the government programs that help to make Ontario and Canada a positive environment for investment in solar energy production.

Check out ShineONtario as well -- another solar advocacy website, sponsored by some large companies active in Ontario.

Yesterday, we had the worst wind storm off the lake we have ever seen here - lots of tree limbs down and an entire tree across the street was uprooted and landed on our neighbour's house. Wind gusts in excess of 100 km, easily. As you know our property gets the unsheltered brunt of wind off the lake, but the solar system was fine. Thanks for making the system secure against high winds!

Communication was key and G.S. was excellent at keeping in touch. I would highly recommend the company. They were prompt and professional. Thank you.

Very helpful people -- excellent service all around!.

Hi Simon, I just wanted to say officially that it was a pleasure having the guys here. They worked steady and were always friendly and pleasant. The job looks great. The alignment on the panels, which I can imagine would be extremely difficult to keep nice and straight, looks great. The wiring, conduit and layout of the inverters and boxes is very neat as well as the stuff on the pole. And they cleaned up after themselves at the end of it all.

Nice job and good bunch of guys too!

They always called ahead and explained what they were doing.

Their accessibility, personability, professionalism, honesty and their ability to complete the work on time with the pressure on. Wish we has more sub trades like this.
