OrcaLab, a not-for-profit research station on the coast of British Columbia, made history by becoming the first orca research facility in Canada to run primarily on solar power—thanks to a 3.5 kW solar array.
In November 2012, SolarShare partnered with Bullfrog Power and Moose Power to develop a rooftop project on a thrift shop in St. Catharines, Ontario. The 140 kW system generates about 144,000 kWh per year, enough power to offset about 40 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions!
With a population of less than 300, the Yukon community of Old Crow has lived off the land for generations, relying on the Porcupine Caribou herd for food and resources. Now, the community wants to ensure its energy independence with a new solar project.
The town of Black Diamond, named for the coal mine that started it, is leaving behind its fossil fuel legacy with a 10 kW solar installation and other green projects, championed by the town’s Parks & Recreation Manager, Les Quinton.
Architecture and engineering students at Carleton University are seizing the opportunity to advance sustainable living with the Northern Nomad, a “Tiny House” project in Ottawa.
Morris House is the oldest wooden house in Halifax and was home to a dynasty of Surveyor Generals in Nova Scotia. Soon, it will be home to a 3 kW solar PV system.
In the heart of oil country, Montana First Nation is leading the way in community solar generation, starting with a 20 kW solar installation and a solar training program for its youth.
This 149 kW DC system is mounted on the roof of Arnie’s Food Services in an industrial area of Ottawa. Panels provided by Canadian Solar cover 25,000-square-feet of rooftop space overlooking a serene park and church. The Michael Street Project has been producing 100% clean solar electricity since September 2013.
It’s not every day that a solar roof installation needs to be moved, but a unique partnership between Bullfrog Power, MEC and The Society Promoting Environmental Conservation (SPEC) did just that, helping preserve the legacy of Vancouver’s first ever grid-tied solar installation.
Through this project, landfill gas is captured, cleaned, and repurposed to dry the biosolids, and the resulting fertilizer is used by agricultural, commercial, and residential applications across the Sunshine State.
Bullfrog Power’s green fuel is a renewable alternative to petroleum-based transportation fuel. We source our green fuel from Biodiesel Las Americas LLC (“BDLA”), a biodiesel producer in Doral, Florida, that repurposes used cooking oil, a waste stream collected from restaurants, commercial kitchens, and food processing plants.
We source our green fuel from Innoltek, a biodiesel producer in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, that repurposes waste streams from the food industry.
