Jean Coutu Pharmacy, Montreal, Quebec

Project Overview

Jean Coutu Pharmacy faced a serious operational challenge—frequent power outages were causing their pharmacy refrigerators to stop working, putting high-value vaccines and medications at risk. These temperature-sensitive products required continuous cooling, and each outage threatened tens of thousands of dollars in losses. Additionally, the pharmacy needed a solution to keep operations running smoothly without interruptions during grid failures.

Solution

Quebec Solar Inc. installed a 10 kWh battery backup generator system (208V 3-phase), designed to:

Instantly activate during a power outage, ensuring uninterrupted operation of refrigeration units.
Protect critical inventory by keeping vaccines and medications at safe storage temperatures.
Provide reliable power for essential pharmacy operations, preventing downtime and disruptions.

Outcome

With the new battery backup system in place, Jean Coutu Pharmacy no longer worries about power failures affecting their refrigeration or daily operations. The system provides seamless, fuel-free backup power, ensuring:

Consistent refrigeration to prevent financial losses from spoiled medications.
Uninterrupted business operations, keeping the pharmacy open and serving customers.
A quiet, maintenance-free alternative to traditional fuel generators.
