Article: Windsor researchers study solar-powered greenhouses

University of Windsor researchers have teamed with local produce growers to improve greenhouse energy efficiency and decrease operating costs. The two-year project led by Dr. Rupp Carriveau, director of UWindsor’s Environmental Energy Institute and co-director of the Turbulence and Energy Lab, is examining the technical and economic feasibility of a solar energy system designed to reduce dependency on carbon-based fuels for heating and grid-connected power for electricity.

Article: Solar panel pilot in Kuujjuaq may be the future for Nunavik communities

Kuujjuaq solar panel pilot project creates ‘significant amount’ of energy in 2 months | CBC News
How much energy would solar panels generate during the short days in the northern winter? How well would it fare in the harsh climate? And does snow, which reflects sunlight, create better results? Well, that’s exactly what one Nunavik community is trying to find out with its solar panel pilot project.

Article: The Solar Expedition

The Solar Expedition
On hot summer days when the sun beats down on Northern Canada from morning to midnight, solar photovoltaic systems are working continuously to turn solar energy into useable electricity. A 15-kilowatt system in Sachs Harbour, NWT is active 24 hours a day during summer months-gradually up to peak production from about mid-February, when the sun first returns.

Green Sun Rising Relies on ECHOtape’s Cold Weather Double-Sided Tape
Alaska and Northern Canada are rich in renewable energy resources. In fact, recent estimates indicated that nearly a quarter of Alaska’s energy is currently supplied by hydropower and wind energy, with a growing interest in geothermal, tidal, wave and biofuel energies. But mention solar, and people scoff.

Windsor’s early green home converts are already reaping the rewards
Michael Schneider could be the poster child for the provincial government’s new Climate Change Action Plan, a multibillion-dollar strategy that relies heavily on getting Ontarians to invest in greener homes and transportation. The changes start rolling out in 2017, but a growing number of Windsor residents, like Schneider, are already doing their part and cashing in on going green, writes Doug Schmidt.
