GEMCO Solar Inc. Announces Installation Achieved for Kingston Township’s Largest Roof Top Solar Project

GEMCO Solar Inc. (GEMCO), an Ontario based solar developer and EPC Contractor, is pleased to announce the construction of a 250 kW AC, 310 kW DC roof top solar photovoltaic system in Kingston, ON. The solar PV facility is hosted on the rooftop of a building located at 640 Cataraqui Woods Drive, owned by Norsecan Properties Corp. The project was built as part of GEMCO’s roof lease program in partnership with FovÄ“re Investments Inc. Ownership of the System, once complete, resides with a FovÄ“re fund whose objective is to accumulate renewable energy generation assets.

The installation, comprised of 1,183 roof top solar photovoltaic panels, is expected to generate approximately 355 MWh of electricity per year which will offset a conservative annual 70 metric tonnes of CO2e (Green House Gases) or the equivalent savings of 30,000 Litres of gasoline.
