The largest commercial renewable energy retrofit in Nova Scotia

To deliver Nova Scotia’s largest renewable energy retrofit, we partnered with SKYLIT, one of the province’s best known solar companies. Together, we worked on a cost-effective, competitive package that was installed in under a month – and guaranteed for over 25 years.

We worked closely with SKYLIT and LG Electronics to create a 94.3kW installation at the Old Orchard Inn Hotel and Convention Centre in Wolfville. Using our MI-series microinverters, the system generates high quantities of clean power for the convention center, while feeding excess energy into the local grid.

The installation also uses a power limiting function, restricting panel output to 242W to maximize efficiency.

"We opened Hoymiles microinverters up and found high-quality components throughout And that’s confirmed by our installers – zero defective microinverters to date." — Andrew Bagley, Skylit.

The entire system was installed on the south-facing roof in just one month. While our microinverters come with a 25-year warranty, the project is estimated to work for well over 30 years.

At present electricity prices, the installation will have paid for itself in just eight years. As a result, it represents decades of earning potential for the owners.
