Student Energy at UofC reposted this
Really excited to be working with this stellar group and the individuals who comprise Student Energy at UofC. It is not the 7.2 kW of energy and resulting energy from these two systems that is so exciting but rather the individuals that have been behind this work and the anticipation of what they will achieve in their careers. Much respect.
Solar PV ☀️ + Youth 💪 = Impactful Community Projects 👷 Although the above equation isn't mathematically correct, it is exactly what happened at our Student Energy Chapter! Throughout 2023, our project team has worked closely with the Siksika Nation to envision and develop a project that carries a strong community impact, and helps the reserve introduce solar power to their energy mix, while reducing electricity costs (and selling back to the grid!!). 💡 This pilot project, which is a winner of the ATCO Community Energy Fund and is part of the Student Energy Guided Projects program, will see the installation of a 7.2 kW solar PV system this March, and power 2 housing units on reserve. 🏠 This milestone is a result of months of collaboration with the Siksika Housing team, our contractor SkyFire Energy Inc, and our coaches/mentors at Student Energy.⚡️ To learn more about the project: https://lnkd.in/gvq79mQc https://lnkd.in/gUrn4uY3
