A crucial step toward this goal was integrating renewable energy into its operations. By incorporating a substantial amount of solar-generated power, the company could significantly advance its LEED certification process while reducing its environmental footprint.

At the same time, the facility faced the challenge of rising electricity costs due to its continuous refrigeration and cold storage operations. With hydro rates steadily increasing, the company needed a cost-effective solution to reduce long-term energy expenses and stabilize its operational costs for years to come. A High-Capacity Solar Power System for Sustainable Operations
To support the company’s LEED certification goals and provide long-term financial benefits, Quebec Solar Inc. designed and installed a 327 kW solar power system featuring 682 high-efficiency 480W solar panels. The system was strategically engineered to generate clean, renewable energy on-site, reducing dependence on grid electricity. By significantly lowering hydro consumption, the company could not only decrease operational costs but also gain greater energy security and long-term financial stability. Additionally, this solar installation played a key role in demonstrating the company’s environmental leadership, reinforcing its reputation as a forward-thinking and sustainable business.
