Great Canadian Solar

NAIT Reconstruction Project

NAIT previously had a demonstration PV system for its Alternative Energy Program installed by others. Unfortunately, it did not reflect good installation practices, was not code compliant, and did not meet the expressed design criteria.

Great Canadian Solar was proud to be contracted to reconstruct this system, which will be used to train students of this great program for years to come.

Responsibilities consisted of:

Design of this 45 degree ballasted mounting system
Procurement of required equipment
Installation
Commissioning
System monitoring

Project Highlights

Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT)

Location: Edmonton, Alberta
Division: Commercial
Service: Upcoming

Client Testimonial

"As a new program exploring alternative energies we realized quickly that a solar photovoltaic teaching array would be an absolute must. The system would be comprised of a number of different technologies to maximize the student experience and installed utilizing the highest industry standards to meet both educational and safety requirements. After a number of concept changes and a failed attempt at installation it was decided, based on the recommendations of industry insiders, that Great Canadian Solar would take the lead on the project. We haven’t looked back since. Both their understanding of the equipment and enduring professionalism has enabled us to finally realize the system we had always envisioned. They have proven themselves to not only be master technicians but excellent role models for our students. Many thanks to the team at GCS."
