Rural Solar PV Applications

Ontario’s new MicroFIT program presents a real opportunity for farmers and rural landowners to turn extra land into a valuable income stream.  Recognizing that rural solar installations present a different set of circumstances than do urban installations, Solsmart Energy Solutions has expanded operations into rural areas surrounding Toronto and into parts of Eastern Ontario. 

Our Solar for Farms team has the experience and expertise to assist rural clients in choosing and installing the best equipment to meet client objectives. Whether you are seeking to diversify your farm income or to develop an income stream for your community project, Solsmart provides your turnkey solution. From our initial site visit, right through financing and installation to the final contract with the Ontario Power Authority, our professional staff will guide your project to completion.

In addition to the rooftop solar systems for barns, outbuildings and sheds, Solsmart is proud to offer ground mount fixed and dual-axis tracking solutions. 

Ground Mount Fixed

Ground mounted systems are ideal for farmers and rural landowners. Solar arrays can be configured on large fixed installations or on top-of-pole applications. The advantage of ground mount systems are they are always facing true south to maximize output and are easy to maintain. Ground mount systems are typically arranged in banks of 5kW or approximately 24-30 solar panels.

Dual Axis Tracking

Solsmart will be introducing the DEGER 5000HD dual-axis tracking system in the near future. Check back soon for more information.
