ONTARIO, CANADA<br />

<strong>Solar</strong> module CS6P-P<br />

through to the plants below, to much more ambitious<br />

projects.<br />

A 250 kW system in Moose Creek serves as an excellent<br />

example, not least because it is Eastern Ontario’s<br />

Largest <strong>Solar</strong> Rooftop Installation. It is owned by local<br />

farmer, Mr. Castonguay. “Besides saving on electricity,<br />

I am actually generating direct revenue from the<br />

installation,” he said. “In addition, it significantly reduces<br />

my farm’s carbon footprint and contributes to a cleaner,<br />

renewable environment.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> system, made up of 1,339 CS6P-P 230 W <strong>Canadian</strong><br />

<strong>Solar</strong> modules, is big enough to meet far more than<br />

his own needs. It is connected to the Ontario grid and<br />

creates additional revenue by supplying enough energy<br />

to power approximately 30 homes annually and, not<br />

least, helps eliminate the production of 279.80 metric<br />

tons of carbon every year. Solexium <strong>Solar</strong> Solutions,<br />

installer of the system, chose <strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Solar</strong> modules<br />

for their excellent quality and high efficiency wattage.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were also attracted by the 10-year warranty on<br />

materials and workmanship, and the 25-year linear<br />

power output warranty. <strong>The</strong> future looks extremely<br />

promising for PV in agriculture.<br />

Solexium solar solutions completed the 250 kW construction of<br />

Eastern Ontario’s largest solar rooftop installation in Moose Creek.<br />

Smaller scale projects like the 20 kW one pictured here in Heihe,<br />

China, are also gaining popularity.<br />
