Article: Makkovik test community for large solar panel system

MAKKOVIK, N.L. – Makkovik gets sunshine on average 269 days a year, according to Environment Canada, and now it will be harnessing all that solar energy. Recently the arena in Makkovik has been a construction site as a 48-kilowatt AC and a 56-kilowatt DC solar panel system is installed on its roof.

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.

Arctic community’s successful switch to solar-diesel power could be a glimpse into the future
COLVILLE LAKE, N.W.T.-A year after his tiny Arctic community became a test case for solar power in the North, it’s the sounds that Alvin Orlias notices. “I’m standing outside right now and it’s quiet,” said the superintendent of Colville Lake’s unique solar-diesel power plant. “You can hear birds chirping in the background.”

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.
