SAIC Canada: Innovative Solar Solutions that Are Making a Difference

  • Commercial rooftop PV systems. SAIC Canada has in-depth experience in multiple PV technologies, including various thin films, crystalline silicon, concentrating PV, cylindrical modules and roof membrane PV.
  • Largest solar-heated community in North America. SAIC Canada was the lead consultant and project manager for the initial feasibility study, design and construction for an enclave of 52 single-family homes in Okotoks, Alberta, that captures the solar energy in the summer, stores this energy and uses it in the winter for home heating. These homes are expected to generate five tonnes less in GHG emissions per year when compared to a conventional home. Learn more »
  • Solar Photovoltaic systems. SAIC Canada has designed and installed a number of solar PV systems in cottage communities and homes located in remote locations, as well as grid-connected commercial facilities in urban areas. Benefits for the building owner are power independence, reliability and reduced power consumption.
  • Underground thermal energy storage. SAIC Canada has conducted a number of feasibility studies and is currently developing several large-scale projects utilizing the earth to store solar thermal energy for more efficient management of our energy resources. Potential benefits include reduced GHG emissions, less fossil fuel consumption and a shift in peak electrical load from summer to winter.
  • Solar detoxification of contaminated groundwater. SAIC Canada has developed and tested a system that will use the sun's rays to destroy dangerous contaminants in groundwater. This system is based on a technology that combines solar radiation and a catalyst to produce hydroxyl radicals, which then break down organic contaminants such as benzene and toluene, carcinogens that are frequently found in groundwater contaminated by a gasoline storage tank leak.
