"The future that we're heading in to is very different from the past, and projects like this really help us understand what we need to be doing now in preparing us for that future so that we can improve our environmental footprint and keep improving what we do from an environmental perspective, this is really setting the tone for where we wish to go in the future."

Shifting Perspectives

Myth

"Solar doesn't work well in Canada with all our clouds and snow. It will only be useful during the sunny summer months."

Fact

Our panels are built with Canada's variable climate in mind. We make sure the extra energy you generate on sunny days is stored so you get reliable power even in cloudy weather.
