CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 14, 2011) - SkyFire Energy Inc. (SkyFire) announced today the installation of a solar system on a private residence south of Calgary to power a Tesla Roadster, the world's first electric supercar. The array of 12 installed solar panels will deliver enough energy to offset 100 per cent of the car's annual charging requirements.
"With SkyFire's extensive experience and qualifications of delivering solar solutions for commercial and residential properties, it was a welcome extension of our team's expertise towards this innovative project that powers Alberta's first net-zero energy car," said David Kelly, partner, SkyFire Energy.
Prior to installation, SkyFire monitored the necessary energy usage during the first few months and sized a 2160-Watt photovoltaic system to generate the requisite amount of energy from the sun.
