The largest commercial PV Solar Array has been constructed at Winmar, on the roof of their facility in Moose Jaw.
An open house for the solar rooftop was held on February 29.
Under the SaskPower net-metering program, the 37 kW PV solar project will be commissioned and operational this week.
The largest commercial PV solar rooftop is fully monitored online, 24 hours a day and is expected to record approximately 45,000 kWh, supplying all of the building’s total power needs each year. Additionally, the solar array will deliver clean energy to a high-powered level two electric vehicle charging station, expanding on corporate green transportation infrastructure.
The environmental impact of the solar array alone includes approximately 40 tonnes CO2 offset and planting an estimated 40 trees annually.
“Winmar Moose Jaw, along with our Winmar network across Canada, have strong roots when it comes to green initiatives,” said Kyle Jacques, property restoration specialist and owner of the Winmar Moose Jaw facility.
“Our Moose Jaw operations use environmentally friendly cleaning methods, providing a restore service for all contents. We promote great efforts to limit the amount of waste that is simply tossed into the landfill every day.”
“This is just one example of our everyday contribution to limiting our carbon foot print for generations to come.”
“Harnessing a renewable resource like the sun just makes sense and with the advancements in this technology it has become more affordable and efficient,” said Jacques.
With over 700 employees from coast-to-coast, the Winmar network will do everything necessary to help residents with damage to their properties. From a flooded storage room to a community ravished by a natural disaster, Winmar provides many services.
