Canadian Grid-Tie Solar Power Systems

With energy costs and global concern for the environment at an all-time high, Canadian organizations are looking for ways to reduce their dependency on grid-supplied electricity, and minimize their contribution to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. Solar technology can help!

Though relatively quick and easy to install, a grid-tie system can make a big difference to the bottom line — and help you take charge of your energy. As soon as it's installed, the system gets to work, automatically generating clean, renewable electricity from sunshine to lower your monthly power bill, reduce emissions and lessen your dependency on the local electric utility.

How does it work?

A solar grid-tie system uses roof-mounted solar panels to collect energy from the sun and convert it into usable electricity. You can then use this electricity to reduce the amount of power your facility draws from the grid, and lower the monthly utility bill.

Carmanah provides the tools and expertise to help you put solar to work. Your Carmanah representative can help you choose the right system for your needs and guide you through the installation process — from site visits and permit applications, to engineering and fine-tuning your solar grid-tie system. If LEED points or certification is a goal for your facility, Carmanah can identify the most appropriate solar power technologies and equipment to minimize environmental impact, and help you to obtain a certified LEED rating.
