Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

Heliolytics Inc.

$200,000.00

Development of Pandemic and Post-Pandemic Operations and Digital Platform Enhancement of Solar Access Performance Assessment and Optimization

FY 2020-21 · 2020-05-11

Summary
Heliolytics builds tools that focus on the optimization of solar farms, which centralizes on sending out their equipment and personnel out to perform those services. With 90% of our market being outside of Canada, the current restrictions created by COVID-19 have forced us to reevaluate our main operations and explore alternative options to enable us to have a sustainable business and remain engaged with our clients. This project enables us to build the tools we need to be competitive during the limitations that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, (recognizing that even when businesses re-open locally, international travel could be significantly limited). In addition to coping with the pandemic, these tools will continue to add value

Description (French)
Heliolytics fabrique des outils qui se concentrent sur l'optimisation des fermes solaires, ce qui permet de centraliser l'envoi de leurs équipements et de leur personnel pour effectuer ces services. Comme 90 % de notre marché se trouve à l'extérieur du Canada, les restrictions actuelles créées par la COVID-19 nous ont obligés à réévaluer nos principales activités et à explorer des solutions de rechange pour nous permettre d'avoir une entreprise durable et de rester engagés auprès de nos clients. Ce projet nous permet de fabriquer les outils dont nous avons besoin pour être concurrentiels pendant les restrictions qui ont résulté de la pandémie de la COVID-19 (en reconnaissant que même lorsque les entreprises rouvriront au niveau local, les voyages internationaux pourraient être considérablement réduits). En plus de faire face à la pandémie, ces outils continueront à apporter une valeur ajoutée.
