On Display at Silver Skate 2006 Have you seen our mobile demonstration trailer at events around Edmonton?

This unit was originally built to give people a hands-on look at what type of equipment was available and how to connect it to provide a real solar electric power system.

It is a small-scale solar electric power system with battery storage and is similar to the system that would be installed in a vacation cottage or small home.
