Community Renewable Energy Waterloo (CREW)
Currently, there are a handful of solar-powered homes in Waterloo region, some of which were installed through NRCan's TEAM Homes project. The performance of these solar installations can be viewed online at Fat Spaniel. To view the Waterloo TEAM homes, scroll down to ARISE Technologies and click on Team Home #1 for a real time look at how much solar energy is used and generated in the MacLellan household.
There are also several public buildings which demonstrate solar energy, including Federation Hall at the University of Waterloo, Waterloo City Hall and the Regional Emergency Medical Services building as well as the YMCA outdoor centre out at Paradise Lake. New installations in the planning stages are Rockway Mennonite Collegiate and the Grand House Co-operative in Cambridge. Natural Power Products has both wind and solar products installed at their retail store in Huron Park, Kitchener, where they regularly host introductory sessions on renewable energy, and if you're interested in incorporating solar power in your sustainable living community event, you can now rent a 1500 watt solar PV system from ARISE Technologies. Contact Frank Ruffolo at ARISE for details.
