01. Overview

Project Summary

Can power over 7,000 homes and offset 27,000 tonnes of carbon.

The Barlow solar project covers 61 hectares of former limited-use industrial land in
Southeast Calgary, Alberta, and consists of 68,950 solar panels with a generating capacity of 38 MW DC (27 MW AC). The project produces enough power annually to power over
7,000 homes and offset 27,000 tonnes of carbon

Polar Racking Installs Largest Urban Solar Project in Western Canada.

Polar Racking is proud to have supplied Both Deerfoot and Barlow projects. These two brownfield sites (93 MW DC) in the centre of Calgary withour Ballasted ground mount racking solution. 160 hectares of former limited-use industrial land now generating 93 MW DC in Calgary.

Objectives

The Barlow solar project is one of the largest urban solar projects in Western Canada, covering 61 hectares of land. The completion of this significant project positions us as a top renewable energy producer.

The project, located near Barlow Trail and 114 Avenue in Southeast Calgary, Alberta, repurposes former limited-use industrial land and has a generating capacity of 27 MW of energy or 49.65 GWh/year over the next 30 years.

The solar facility consists of 68,950 bifacial VSUN 540 watt photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, mounted on a fixed-tilt racking system, supplied by Polar Racking, along with ballasted
concrete foundations to accommodate site conditions.
In addition to the solar panels and racking systems, the facility contains Sungrow SG3600UD-MV inverters, internal roads, weather station equipment, an electrical collector system, and transformers.

03. HOW WE DID IT

Solution

The Barlow solar project exhibits the transition to sustainable energy for the peopleof Calgary and provides customers with sustainable energy alternatives. The project produces enough power annually to power over 7,000 homes and offset 27,000 tonnes of carbon
