Solar Projects
Real world examples of how independent solar advisory leads to better decisions stronger returns and fewer surprises.
Each project below highlights the importance of feasibility analysis vendor selection and unbiased guidance. While every project is unique the results consistently show that the right strategy makes a meaningful difference.
Agricultural Ground Mount Project
System Size: Forty kilowatt
Application: Agricultural operation
This project supports a large pork operation with significant annual electricity consumption. A detailed feasibility analysis and careful vendor selection resulted in a seven year payback and an internal rate of return of approximately fifteen percent.
​
By selecting the right vendor and system configuration the project is expected to generate over thirty two thousand dollars in positive cash flow after ten years and more than two hundred forty thousand dollars after twenty years. All major equipment is covered by long term warranties and the project avoided over sixty thousand dollars in unnecessary costs through proper planning and proposal review.
MicroFit Solar Tracker Project
Program: Ontario MicroFit
Although the MicroFit program closed in 2017 existing contracts continue to deliver strong financial returns. This tracker based project achieved exceptional results by strategically timing the contract and securing an extension that allowed for lower vendor costs while maintaining a premium buy rate.
​
The project reached full payback in under five years and has already generated over one hundred eighteen thousand dollars in positive cash flow. With several years remaining on the contract it is expected to deliver an additional seventy thousand dollars or more in income.
​
This project demonstrates how understanding program rules and vendor timing can significantly impact long term outcomes.
Ten Kilowatt Net Metering Ground Mount Project
Application: Residential net metering
This project reduced the property owners monthly electricity costs by more than eighty percent. By leveraging the Canada Greener Homes Loan there was no upfront cash outlay and the project remained cash neutral for the first ten years.
​
Instead of paying the local utility the homeowner redirected those payments toward the loan. With all major components under warranty the system is expected to generate over seventy thousand dollars in positive cash flow over the following ten years.
​
Vendor pricing and system configuration varied by more than twelve thousand dollars between proposals. Independent review ensured the right option was selected.
Why These Results Matter
Each of these projects benefited from the same core principles:
Independent
feasibility analysis
Strategic use of incentives and programs
Unbiased
vendor comparison
A focus on long term financial performance
Careful review of proposals and system design
Experienced project oversight
Solar can be an excellent investment when done correctly. These projects show how the right advisory approach improves outcomes.
