SOLARÉ DISTRIBUTORS
Presentation: Making the Transition from Fossil Fuels to Renewables.
Solaré was a venture born out of the ashes of an oilfield company sale in 2013, when Brothers Rik and Jay Kaminsky, still wanting to be involved in the energy industry, turned their focus on renewable energy in the form of Solar PV. With the addition of other opportunities in LED lighting technologies, energy bill auditing, and energy retailing, Solaré became much more than a solar company in a very short time. This presentation will focus on the transition of this former oil and gas business into a business based on opportunities in solar PV and energy efficiency.
More about Solaré: Located in Spruce Grove, and servicing Western Canada, Solaré Distributors is a distributor of LED lighting and solar PV equipment. Solaré effectively reduces high energy costs by fixing power bills by performing power bill audits, changing out your inefficient lighting with LED Lighting, and adding solar PV Solutions to harness free energy. Solaré is currently working with several First Nations and Métis Settlements for both energy Audits and community solar projects.
