Project Complete: The Little Potato Company

Location: Nisku, AB

Project Type: Rooftop array

Energy generation per year: 1,600,000+ kWh/year

Project size: 3300 panels

Last year, we installed solar on the roof of The Little Potato Company Ltd 's brand new 240,000 square foot packaging facility in Nisku, Alberta. This is a highlight reel project, not just for Inferno Solar and The Little Potato Company, but for the Western Canadian solar industry as a whole.

This video shows the size and scope of this project: hundreds of metres of racking, solar panels, and inverters, all carefully coordinated with the rooftop equipment that makes this facility hum.?

This array:

• Is our largest project to date
• Has a solar generating capacity of 1500 kWDC/1,600,000+ kWh/year
• Accounts for more than 25% of The Little Potato Companies annual electricity needs
• Is the 5th largest rooftop solar project in Western Canada
• Is the 2nd largest privately funded rooftop solar project in Western Canada

As a bonus, any excess power this array generates will be exported to the grid. These exports often coincide with high priced hours in the electricity market, earning The Little Potato Company microgeneration credits as another revenue stream.?

We were very proud to be responsible for a project of this size and importance.

Congratulations to The Little Potato Company on their new solar energy system. Also a sincere thank you to York Realty for their innovative Solar Lease Program which made this project a reality. Also a special thanks to Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) for their funding of this project through the Comprehensive Energy Savings program, and to Cameron Development Corporation for your continued collaboration with us.?
