We provided a Business Plan assessment for MI Developments (now Granite Reit) to use their existing factory roofs for large solar arrays under a government sponsored tariff program. The assessment included an in-depth study of world-wide emerging solar panel companies and a systems procurement process to secure best product and best price. It was determined that MID could engender a profit of 45 cents per kwh and $50M CAD over the 20 year Ontario tariff contract.

Oolu Off Grid Solar for Africa (19 Aug 2015)Oolu’s innovation isn’t the technology behind the solar products that they’re dispensing. Instead, the company’s true feat is setting up a distribution model and payment infrastructure that West African families and community leaders are comfortable with. Oolu has partnered with Orange Money, a Senegalese money transfer company, so that customers can pay the monthly subscription fee from their mobile phones.
