Using solar photovoltaic technology to boost energy efficiency, lower electricity costs and enhance climate resilience
Kanata Lakes, a luxury residential complex in Ottawa’s west end, is taking advantage of solar photovoltaic (“PV”) technology to boost energy efficiency, lower electricity costs for tenants and enhance climate resilience. Home to 731 residential and four commercial units, the property offers amenities such as in-suite laundry and exclusive access to a private clubhouse with a saltwater pool and gym. With its prime location near parks, shopping and entertainment, Kanata Lakes is well-positioned for sustainable upgrades that support both tenant satisfaction and environmental goals.
The installation of solar PV systems on two newly roofed buildings will be supported by the Ottawa DER Large Solar PV Funding Incentive, which improves the project’s return on investment when systems are designed for self-consumption. This initiative reflects a forward-looking approach to combining sustainability with economic efficiency in multi-residential real estate.
