SolPowered Energy Corporation

SolPowered Energy Corporation is a Canadian solar energy developer that installs, operates and maintains medium and large photovoltaic (PV) solar systems on building rooftops. Since launching in Ottawa in 2009, SolPowered has grown its bilingual core team to seven and strengthened its reputation as an innovator of renewable, sustainable and profitable green energy solutions. Inspired by Germany’s installation of PV systems on more than 100,000 rooftops, SolPowered is dedicated to promoting and growing this social, economic and environmental phenomenon across Canada and in other countries. In order to differentiate itself from other Solar PV developers, SolPowered developed its own customized engineering tool called “The Workbook” with three primary objectives in mind: 1) help design a solution that maximizes ROI for customers, 2) provide a better assessment of the energy production potential for any given building, along with a detailed cost estimate, and 3) provide detailed 20-year financial projections for four different financing/ownership options. The Workbook intelligently considers the orientation of the panels, their tilt and spacing, any shading that may be cast upon the system, and various other building-specific parameters. Every installation is monitored in real time, providing customers with the assurance that the entire system is performing optimally 24/7 for the duration of the 20 year contract. SolPowered went a step further by developing an enhanced solution that could detect and monitor individual strings of panels, (there are usually 10 to 13 panels per “string”). This allows any problems or issues to be identified and localized more quickly. In addition, customers are provided with Internet access to performance reporting servers and cameras so they too can monitor kilowatt-hour (“kWh”) generation, all while viewing the installation on their building. SolPowered purchases only top quality products or equipment that comply with product, safety, environmental, electrical and hazardous waste standards, and that have undergone seismic and solar performance testing. Highlights: ï‚· Winner of the 2011 Gold Ottawa Business Achievement Award in the category of New Business of the Year ï‚· All of SolPowered installs are currently producing more than the 1,150kWh/kW DC typically projected for the greater Ottawa region ï‚· All projects installed to date have been completed at or under budget ï‚· Developed and implemented a first-of-its-kind Firefighter Solar PV Training Course ï‚· Created over 25 direct and indirect green jobs in the Ottawa area ï‚· Created at least 25 green manufacturing jobs in other regions of Ontario .

SolPowered Energy Corporation, winner of the 2011 Ottawa Business Achievement Award for New Business of the Year and the 2012 Prix d’Excellence in the category of Nouvelle entreprise de l’année, is an Ontario solar energy developer specialized in the deployment of medium and large photovoltaic (PV) solar systems on building roof tops.

Inspired by the rapid deployement in Germany where PV systems have been installed on more than 100,000 building roof tops, SolPowered is dedicated to the replication of this social and environmental success in Canada and the United-States.

Although the deployment of a large solar PV system represents a major multi-million dollar investment, SolPowered’s unique value proposition now makes this possible at zero cost to the building owner. SolPowered rents the roof, installs and operates the system free of charge and free of risks, and even pays the building owner revenue from the electricity generated. There will never be a better time to install a solar system on your building.

Located in Ottawa Ontario, our team of experts bring a unique combination of skills in solar PV energy, in building structural analysis and roofing construction and in renewable energy financing. Also, through carefully selected and well established partners, we can facilitate the offering of important complementary services such as an initial energy and CO2 emission assessment, a suite of solutions for building automation and energy savings practices, construction services towards a greener building infrastructure and a certification to the LEED standards.

Our environment can no longer be ignored and SolPowered can make your building a 21st century landmark.

On July 15th 2014, SolPowered announced a merger with iSolara Solar Power. This deal creates a strong leader in solar PV installations in the Eastern Ontario market. SolPowered and iSolara now have a team of over 20 experienced professionals who are dedicated to providing quality customer service.
