Pan Pacific Pet Warehouse Commercial Solar Project in Calgary
Project Overview
Zeno Renewables completed this commercial solar project in Calgary for Pan Pacific Pet Warehouse, installing a large-scale rooftop solar PV system designed to reduce grid electricity consumption and support the facility’s long-term energy needs.
With a total system capacity of 683.4 kW, the project transforms the warehouse’s available rooftop space into a productive energy asset. The system includes 1,608 high-efficiency Hanwha solar panels and was designed for reliable, long-term performance in Alberta’s climate.
Commercial Solar System Details
- Location: Calgary, Alberta
- Facility: Pan Pacific Pet Warehouse
- System Size: 683.4 kW
- Solar Panels: 1,608 Hanwha modules
- Mounting System: TerraGen ballasted racking
- Installation Type: Commercial rooftop solar
The panels are installed using a TerraGen ballasted racking system, which secures the solar array without penetrating the roof membrane. This approach helps preserve the integrity of the existing roof while providing the stability required for a large commercial solar installation.
Built for Safety and Long-Term Performance
Beyond the solar array itself, the project incorporates the electrical infrastructure and balance-of-system components required for safe and reliable operation.
The installation includes a dedicated solar PV electrical panel, solar breakers, conduit and fittings for energy distribution, and a rapid shutdown switch to support system safety and code compliance. Ballast stones and additional balance-of-system components provide further stability and support for the rooftop array.
Together, these components create a complete commercial solar energy system designed around the needs of a working industrial facility.
Turning Commercial Rooftop Space Into an Energy Asset
For warehouses and industrial facilities, large unused rooftops can represent a significant opportunity to generate electricity directly where it is consumed.
The Pan Pacific Pet Warehouse project demonstrates how commercial solar in Calgary can help businesses reduce their reliance on grid electricity, improve long-term energy cost predictability and make better use of existing building space. Rather than treating solar solely as a sustainability initiative, businesses can incorporate on-site generation into a broader strategy for managing operating costs and long-term energy needs.
