Article: Pangnirtung solar panel project aims to cut hamlet’s diesel use

Joshua Angnakak and Nolan Kuluguqtuk went from working inside Pangnirtung’s Attagoyuk Ilisavik high school to working on top of it. The pair were hired by Green Sun Rising, a company that installed solar panels on the two-storey school in September. “We’re working with very good scenery,” Kuluguqtuk said of the view from the school’s roof, which looks straight up the Pangnirtung Fiord. “We have a bird’s-eye view.” The two lifelong Pangnirtung residents graduated from the school six years ago. They jumped at the opportunity to pick up some construction work over the summer. “This is my first time working with solar panels,” said Angnakak. “This was a great opportunity … to learn new things.”
