communities could have a renewable energy project of some sort. They could have a low penetration system that is really just solar fed into the grid, or they could go high penetration and install batteries as well.” “These systems can be pretty complex,” he continues. “There are a lot more stakeholders. There’s more involvement from utilities, governments, development corps, First Nations governments – you name it.” “That’s where we’re pivoting now,” he reiterates. “We’re moving into those larger projects.” For those kinds of larger projects, Solvest’s PowerBox – their recently-developed containerizedrenewableenergy storage system – presents an ideal solution. That solution can be shipped or helicoptered onto a site, connected to a solar system, and it can then store solar energy to meet the client’s remote or off-grid needs. “There are a number of different plays for that technology,” Danny says. “There are a lot of different applications, a lot of ways it can be used. We’ve only just started scratching the surface.” The PowerBox, Danny concludes, is a prime example of Solvest’s capacity for innovation. “Some people just see Solvest as a solar company,” he says. “But we’re more than that. We can develop custom solutions and we’re always up for a challenge.” NOVEMBER 2022
