Energy Smart Completes 127kW Solar Installation for Southern Irrigation Lethbridge

Energy Smart Canada has completed a massive 127kW solar installation for Southern Irrigation’s Lethbridge location, helping the local business take a major step toward greater environmental sustainability while reducing their electricity costs.

Installed on the roof of Southern Irrigation’s Lethbridge facility, the solar system was designed to offset the company’s electricity consumption and cover 100% of their electricity needs. By generating clean, renewable energy directly on-site, Southern Irrigation will significantly reduce their daily operating costs.

For a business with substantial energy demands, reducing electricity costs can have a meaningful impact on long-term operating expenses. This installation allows Southern Irrigation to achieve more energy independence while helping protect the business from rising electricity costs.

Solar has become an increasingly attractive option for Alberta businesses looking to reduce operating costs while investing in a more sustainable future. Large commercial buildings often provide an ideal opportunity to install a significant amount of solar without requiring additional land or changes to the day-to-day operations of the business.

For Energy Smart, the Southern Irrigation project is another example of how commercial solar can be tailored to meet the specific energy needs of a local business.

With more than 25 years of experience providing renewable energy solutions in Southern Alberta, Energy Smart understands the unique energy needs of local businesses and property owners. From system design and installation to helping customers understand their energy options, the company provides customized solutions designed around each customer’s goals. Energy Smart’s sister company, Smart Utilities, takes that commitment one step further, helping businesses who choose to go solar maximize the savings from their retrofits with solar-focused utility rates.

The completion of Southern Irrigation’s 127kW solar installation represents another step toward a more energy-efficient Southern Alberta, an initiative that Energy Smart is proud to help bring to life.
