Hansen Solar Affordable Housing

Charlottetown-based Hansen Solar Energy, led by General Manager Shaun Callaghan, was recognized in the 2024 APsystems Canadian Installation Awards for their work on a nonprofit affordable housing project on Bills Lane. The 82.35 kWh system helps residents reduce utility bills while promoting sustainability. โ€œWe have access to multiple ECUs and units under one account, which helps us monitor and manage the systems with precision,โ€ Callaghan said. This visibility maximized system output, reflecting Hansen Solar Energyโ€™s commitment to community-first solutions and thoughtful design.

APsystems DS3 microinverters were central to the projectโ€™s success, offering flexibility, affordability, and ease of integration. โ€œThe support from APsystems was great throughout the process,โ€ Callaghan shared. โ€œItโ€™s helped us not only deliver a reliable system, but also show stakeholders the performance and savings in real time.โ€ The plug-and-play design streamlined installation and enabled scalable management, making it ideal for a nonprofit setting. Community response has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting both the financial and environmental impact. Hansen Solar Energyโ€™s project demonstrates how reliable technology, careful planning, and a focus on community value can transform solar installations into lasting benefits for residents.
