Generation Solar was recently presented with a Sustainability Catalyst award at the Green Economy Peterborough annual Leadership in Sustainability awards celebration. This year was the 5th anniversary event and the Sustainability Catalyst award was given in appreciation of members who consistently enrich the network through engagement, learning, storytelling, and connection.

We're proud of this recognition, and excited to be part of a network of like-minded businesses taking action to reduce our climate footprint and build a sustainable business community.

We've been busy at the Buckhorn Community Centre replacing their existing inverter.

It's incredible to see how technology has changed in 15 years. Their old inverter is the size of a refrigerator and weighs as much as 10 fridges! The replacement is roughly the size of two microwaves!

Looking forward to getting them producing again for summer.

This is why we love this work, getting communities back on solar where they belong.

Portable AC power, straight from the roof of a Sprinter van.

Rooftop solar array → weatherproof cable entry → voltage regulator → battery bank.

Clean power wherever the work takes you. No generator noise. No fuel.

This is what we do.

Peak sun. Peak demand. Peak savings.

Summer is when solar works hardest, and when your farm needs it most.

Net metering means the surplus doesn't go to waste. It works for you all year long.

World Environment Day is a good reminder of why we got into this work in the first place, and why, 25+ years later, we're still showing up.

Every system we install is one more home, farm, or business drawing less from the grid and more from the sky. It adds up.

Happy World Environment Day from our team to yours.

We don't always end up on a standard suburban rooftop!

Not every job looks the same and that's one of the things we enjoy most about this work. Even if it's not in town, the sun finds this place just fine.

The most resilient energy system is the one right on your roof.

Local generation. Local storage. That's energy security.

"They answered all my questions and ones I hadn't thought of."

That's what we aim for on every job. From the first call to the final setup, our clients should never feel like they're figuring it out on their own.

This ad ran in August 1999.

Solar powered water pumping. Solar powered electric fencing. Wind powered pond aeration. Solar thermal water heating.

Helping farmers harvest energy.

Do we still offer all of these? Not exactly. The industry has evolved, and so have we.

But here's what hasn't changed: farmers across this region are still running water pumps, fences, aerators, and heating systems. The difference today is that a net metered solar system can generate enough electricity to power all of it, and then some.

Over 25 years later, we're still helping farmers harvest energy. Just with better tools.

Net metering and load displacement are not the same thing, but they're often presented like they are.

If you're considering solar in Ontario, this distinction could significantly affect which system is right for you. We put together a side-by-side comparison to cut through the noise.

It's a quick read, check it out here: https://www.generationsolar.com/solar-101/net-metering-vs-load-displacement/
