In the context of the CMHC's EQuilibrium sustainable housing competition, Matrix Energy was invited by prefabricated homebuilder Alouette Homes to be a team member. As a proud partner, Matrix Energy designed, supplied and assisted with the installation of a 3kW Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) system connected to the utility grid. This system will allow the home built by Alouette Homes in 2007, entitled EcoTerra, to offset most or all of the home's annual electricity demand. Matrix looks forward to supporting sustainable homebuilders with similar solar PV systems in the future.
