| Errington’s Wilderness Island Resort installed a solar system last year for their lodge that is working very well and has significantly reduced the amount of fuel required to power their business! The solar supplier they hired wrote a great article about the system below. If anyone has any questions surrounding their experience with their solar system, please contact Al Errington.
Solar Solutions – Exceeding Off-Grid Expectations in Remote Northern Ontario
On a remote island in Northern Ontario accessible only by float plane, Errington’s Wilderness Island Resort has been a haven for those seeking an incredible escape since 1975. This second-generation family-owned wilderness retreat consists of a main lodge, six suites, and 10 cabins. They consistently accommodate between 30-40 guests, along with 12-14 staff members. With no accessibility to the electrical power grid, owner Al Errington was on the lookout for opportunities to enhance self-sufficiency and environmental sustainability, and to move away from the cost and hassle of diesel generators. |
