Geddes & Murphy Electric Ltd’s Award-Winning Barn Rooftop Installation at Hill Peak Farms

/in , ,

In the rural heart of Middle Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia, sustainability and performance come together in a standout solar project by Geddes & Murphy Electric Ltd. Their 135kW DC barn rooftop installation at Hill Peak Farms has earned the title of Commercial Project of the Year in APsystems’ 2024 Canadian Installation Awards—thanks to both its technical execution and energy impact.

Designed with precision and purpose, the system utilizes 150 APsystems DS3-S microinverters to bring the farming operation nearly to net zero on electrical energy use. With over a decade in the industry, Geddes & Murphy’s experience shows in the results.

“We’ve installed around 1,000 APsystems microinverters and they’ve produced more energy than our estimates almost every time,” said Scott Geddes, Owner of Geddes & Murphy Electric Ltd. “The ease of installation, pricing, and performance are hard to beat.”

The installation process capitalized on APsystems’ electrician-friendly design. Trunk cables enabled simple string layouts, while the ability to run AC power directly from the roof streamlined system tie-in. For a high-demand farm setting, this kind of efficiency makes a real difference.

Even post-installation, the system continues to impress. “Our customers are always pleased with how quickly we can install and with how well the systems perform,” Geddes added. “The monitoring app is user-friendly and lets them track performance right down to each panel.”

Backed by reliability, minimal warranty replacements, and an easy RMA process, APsystems microinverters have become a go-to for the team at Geddes & Murphy. The company is already looking ahead, continuing to integrate APsystems into future builds across residential, commercial, and agricultural sites.

From the fields of Nova Scotia to the forefront of Canada’s solar movement, this award-winning project is a testament to the power of good design, great technology, and a commitment to getting the job done right.

Flux Renewables’ Award-Winning Solar Installation in Alberta

/in , ,

 

In the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, just 40 minutes from Calgary, a bed and breakfast is now powered by one of the most impressive residential solar installations in Canada. Designed and installed by Flux Renewables, this 18.63kW system has earned the title of Residential Project of the Year in APsystems’ 2024 Canadian Installation Awards — and for good reason.

What makes this system stand out isn’t just the beautiful setting, but its ability to handle a real-world challenge: shade. With trees, cloud cover, and mountain terrain constantly impacting the site, Flux needed a solution that could adapt. APsystems microinverters were the clear choice.

“The combination of safety, dependability, advanced tech, affordability, and simple installation made APsystems the right fit,” said Tanner Robertson, CEO and Founder of Flux Renewables. “This setup experiences plenty of shade—yet the APsystems microinverters manage it efficiently.”

Each panel benefits from independent MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking), ensuring high performance even in variable conditions. The result? Reliable energy production, reduced energy bills for the B&B owner, and a powerful demonstration of solar tech in action.

This isn’t Flux’s first standout project. In fact, the client was referred by a neighbor who also had an APsystems installation—last year’s entry in the same competition. That kind of word-of-mouth speaks volumes.

With a focus on small-scale commercial, agricultural, and residential installs, Flux Renewables is carving out a name for itself as a trusted installer in Western Canada. And according to Robertson, their six years working with APsystems has built a foundation of trust.

“No electronic product is perfect, but APsystems has always stepped up. Any defects were replaced quickly and without hassle. That kind of support matters.”

This award-winning project showcases the future of solar: smarter systems, adaptable tech, and installers who go above and beyond to deliver results that work in the real world.
