While it does sound quite ironic that a solar PV system is powering oil wells and equipment, successful collaboration between fossil fuels and renewable energy can be achieved when two leading energy innovators work together. We were approached by Imaginea to design and install a solar PV system as a renewable and clean power solution for their pump jacks. This 50 kW grid tied solar PV system generates over 60 MWh of clean green power in a year, which is equivalent to powering over 9 Alberta residences, and offsetting 38 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year. The system also incorporates an innovative “made in Alberta” mounting system, which allows for deployment and redeployment in even the most remote locations.
