Corporate Info

Menova Energy Inc. is a 100% Canadian owned and operated company committed to providing affordable solar energy solutions for the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) market.

The Power-Spar® system is Menova Energy's platform technology which provides the basis for solar electricity, heating and lighting solutions. Through modular design and innovative integration capabilities, the platform is compatible with geothermal and thermal air conditioning applications.

The Power-Spar® is a high efficiency solar concentrator that uses a patented system to concentrate the sun's energy creating heat & hot water, electrical power, and lighting for everyday and emergency use. It has been specifically engineered to provide unprecedented thermal and PV performance in extreme climates. The patented absorber design results in high operating efficiencies in both cold and hot environments.

The key benefits of the Power-Spar® system are:

1. "Green" zero-emission generation of heat and electricity;
2. Immunity from rising energy costs, since the price of energy from the sun will not escalate with time;
3. Amortized energy costs at about 50% of what consumers currently pay for propane or electric heat;
4. Reliable and independent system that assists your office or business to function without interruption during power shortages, high cost peak demand or blackouts;
5. Modular absorbers - designed specifically for thermal, thermal & PV, or Hybrid Solar Lighting - mean that a Power-Spar® installation can be tailor for your specific requirements

The absorbers can be replaced "in the field". This provides for unprecedented upgrade capabilities - as more efficient Photovoltaic cells become available, your Power-Spar® installation can take advantage of the greater power output quickly and in a cost-effective manner. We'll even give you a credit for your old absorbers!

A third-party validation of Menova installations has demonstrated that buildings using the Power-Spar® system to supplement propane heating can reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by up to 4.3 tonnes of CO² emissions (increasing to 5.2 tonnes of CO² emissions per year with photovoltaic (PV) cells generating electricity). A school in Ontario that is using the Power-Spar® system to supplement electrical heating is expected to reduce their CO² emissions by as much as 73 tonnes per year (and that should rise to 86 tonnes of CO² emissions per year with PV power generation).
