MUNICIPAL SOLAR PROJECT | SENIOR CITIZENS DROP-IN CENTRE | BARRHEAD, ALBERTA

Municipal solar system customer:

Barrhead & District Senior Citizens Society, Alberta

Customer representative comments:

Trent [Project manager, Dandelion Renewables – Ed.], your personable manner was appreciated. As the PV-system work proceeded, you kept us informed about the progress of the installation and helped with paperwork from the MCCAC and our wired service provider. You responded to my emails in a prompt and informative manner. In addition, you always kept yourself available by cell phone for any questions I may have had. Your crew were friendly and courteous when on the job at our Drop-In. The installation by your crew of the hardware—the switches, the inverter, the PV panels—was neat and tidy. The use of conduit for bundles of wiring contributed to the orderly appearance of the installation. The end result of your leadership was a fully functioning PV system that was installed in a timely manner. Thank you! It was a pleasure working with you. Eldon K., President Barrhead & District Senior Citizens Society

The Town of Viking Shoots for Net-Zero on Municipal Buildings

Another Alberta town takes advantage of the funding provided through the Alberta Municipal Solar Program. The Town of Viking, Alberta, is aiming to produce a majority of its municipal electrical needs using solar energy. Following the Town of Raymond, Viking will become the second municipality in Alberta to be net-zero.

Viking town council initially considered solar photovoltaic systems on multiple sites but ultimately decided on one large ground-mounted solar PV system. By consolidating the project into one location, the town will receive greater benefit from the solar funding program.

Our team at Dandelion Renewables is well into the installation phase of the ground-mounted project, covering almost six acres of swampy prairie land. The transformation of a once boggy grazing field into a renewable energy solar power plant, just east of Viking, is projected to be completed this coming spring of 2020.

A total of 2880 ground-mounted solar modules will provide the town with 1.05MW of power. That is enough energy to power 215 average Albertan households year-round!

Stay tuned for progress pictures and updates over the next weeks and months!
