With a surge of interest in renewable energy comes many new
developments that delve into ways of harnessing that energy. Atlantic Wind
& Solar Inc. is happy to announce the opening of its $3 million 500 KW
utility scale power plant in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The rooftop
installation of 1,980 solar panels is anticipated to produce 12,600 megawatt
hours of power to Ontario over the next twenty years.
Atlantic Wind and Solar Inc. makes utility scale sustainable
energy plants all over the world including Canada, South America, South Asia,
and the Caribbean. The company’s president and CEO John Wilkes stated, “Each
project completion further confirms our ability to convert established
relationships of like-minded people and organizations into positive
revenue-oriented projects that benefit our shareholder base and the environment.
We continue to ensure that our product offering is competitive and have
aggressive expansion plans, including strategic acquisitions and Joint Ventures
in areas that fit our business model.”
Canada is a world leader in renewable energy development
with 16.9% of its primary energy coming from that avenue. The number one
renewable energy source of Canada is moving water, making up 59% of the energy
supply. Canada is the third largest producer of hydroelectricity in the world
with wind power coming in second at 1.6%. Solar power is quickly developing
into another renewable energy source option. The country has a large land mass
with varied physical characteristics, making it a viable area for sustainable
energy production and growth.
What is renewable energy? It’s simply the energy taken from
natural resources that can be replenished over time. Some examples of natural
resources are sunlight, moving water, and wind. We can use that energy to
produce electricity, transportation fuels, and industrial heat.
Specifically, solar energy comes from the sun as heat and
light to provide electricity. This natural source can be harnessed in areas
with greater access to sunlight with the installation of solar panels. With
these panels, particles of light (photons) bump electrons free from atoms to
create electricity. There are tons of photovoltaic cells in the panels to
convert sunlight into electricity.
Canada especially has great solar potential as its access to
the sun is comparable with the world’s largest cities. Half of Canada’s
residential areas could be converted into solar platforms for renewable energy.
Fortunately, there are many pros to using solar energy.
First, energy from the sun is free and in the long term these energy costs will
be less than fossil fuel as rates continue to increase. Second, there is no
waste or emissions from using solar power, making it an environmentally
friendly option. Lastly, we have the sun for another 5 billion years so chances
of running out of solar energy are slim.
