Yesterday our crew lifted solar energy panels on to a roof in Masset, Haida Gwaii. This solar energy system will be connected to a grid that is primarily powered by burning diesel fuel. Local community members will have the opportunity to become co-owners of […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]

@chris You are right that Canadian Tire is an expensive place to buy solar energy. But we don't think that Canadians are disadvantaged right now when it comes to renewable energy. We agree governments and businesses are failing us but mostly because of their promotion of fossil fuels.

@chris Given the current rebates available, BC is probably the best place in North American to install solar energy and maybe one of the best places in the world. The only disadvantage we have is public apathy and ignorance about the potential of solar energy here.

@DavidM_yeg @chris For 22 kW the cost of the panels should be just under $7,000

@chris Don't buy solar modules (panels) at Canadian Tire. And don't buy them at Alibaba either. We are currently retailing small quantities (1 or 2 ) at about $0.39 / W. Larger quantities would be less.

Today there was another announcement about more infrastructure that plans to bring more fossil fuels to BC's North Coast. At SolShare Energy we have been listening to the communities and working with them to build shared ownership community projects. We will […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]

Looking for forward to speaking with MLAs and government staff about how co-ops help start the clean energy economy in BC and how we can continue to accelerate the transition to clean energy #BCCoopsatthecapital

2024 was our 20th year of leading the energy transition in BC. We set a new record for solar energy installations this year. One of the installs was this 7.2 kW photovoltaic system installed in Vancouver. It uses Bauer 400 W modules (panels) and a SolarEdge 7.6 KW, 1Ø Grid Tied Inverter […]
