ArcStar Energy and Aeon Egmond Ltd. are pleased to announce the formation of AELsolar, a full service technology engineering and design build company providing turnkey roof and ground mount solar installations under the Ontario FIT program.


AELsolar combines ArcStar Energy’s established solar design/build and technology experience with the engineering design, project management and construction experience of Aeon Egmond Ltd. to provide cost effective turnkey solutions to solar developers and system owners.

AELsolar brings a unique approach to the Ontario market, combining designed-for-purpose technology with turnkey implementation services at a fixed price per watt. This provides certainty of quality, cost and implementation timelines for solar developers, owners and finance partners.


Project due diligence:

  • Assessment of solar energy potential
  • Structural and roof system engineering assessments
  • Roof wind load modelling and ballast assessments
  • Geotechnical engineering (ground mount systems)
  • Detailed financial modelling (through ArcStar Energy Canada)

Manufacture of modular 100% Ontario content roof racks with:

  • Streamlined design optimized to minimize shipping costs
  • Modular design applicable across a wide range of PV panels
  • Proven corrosion resistance in extreme environments
  • Integrated wire management system
  • Simplified, fast installation
  • Non-contiguous E-W frame design allows array to be readily adjusted in the field for quick response to drains and other obstructions
  • Integrated UV resistant foam supports to protect the roof surface and accommodate variations in slope
  • Interlocking E-W frames and integrated ballast systems resist wind uplift and maintain structural integrity and alignment
  • Alternate ballast system is currently under development using liquid filled bladders to reduce potential roof damage during installation and improve
  • system maintenance and decommissioning
