to the maximum of 50 Kw. In these situations though, it is very difficult to
install the entire solar panel system on the roof and thus, at the Nunavik
Research Centre, some panel arrays have been installed on the façade.
Kwh (kilowatt hour) versus litres of Diesel
In diesel generation microgrids, one litre of diesel burned generates
around 3.5 kWh of electricity. So for every 1,000 Kwh of
clean solar electricity, 286 litres of diesel are avoided.
The 50 Kw system on the Nunavik Research Centre
started operation on September 15, 2017, only
half a month of September and it generated
979 Kwh avoiding around 280 litres of diesel.
In October, the system generated 1,136
Kwh avoiding 325 litres of diesel. We would
expect the amount of electricity generated
to decrease in the winter months due to the
lack of sun, however, we are very curious and
optimistic as to the amount of power we will
generate in the spring and summer months.
Monitoring
This project is the largest net-metering project in the
Nunavik region thus far. We are taking this opportunity to be able to
monitor the system both in terms of the power generation (the inverters
have an internet connection allowing us to monitor the power being
generated) and for the effects of ice and snow on the panels and on
the efficiency throughout the winter months.
