Builders

Adding Solar Hot Water to your next building project is a great way to differentiate yourself from the competition as an environmentally aware builder. But adding Solar Hot Water to your project does much more: it creates value for your future home owner by providing price protection against future gas price increases and minimizing green house gas emissions and as a builder, you are contributing to creating more sustainable communities.

Solar Hot Water also helps you as the builder meet your Built GreenTM objectives. In fact Solar Hot Water offers the best Built GreenTM points to dollars spent ratio available to a builder.

KCP Energy realizes that before you can make a decision to add Solar Hot Water to your building you need to be comfortable with how the product works, how it can be incorporated into your building and how to sell it to your home owner. To that end we have made a significant effort to provide answers to your anticipated questions below and in our Builder specific FAQ's.

How does solar thermal work?

How does a boiler work?

How does solar PV work?

At KCP Energy our objective is to make installing a Solar Hot Water system as simple as possible. We take care of all aspects of the system design, install and commissioning so you, the builder, can focus on getting your building completed.

  • There is no better feeling than having a bath from water heated from the sun.   I would recommend this system and KCP energy to anyone looking to make a difference in reducing their energy consumption.  ~ Sara Renner
  • It feels great to harness the power of the sun and see the temperature gauge rise on a sunny day.  Geoff did a great job installing the system and answering all of my questions: he is a real professional.  ~ Thomas Grandi
  • The Town of Canmore is committed to The Natural Step and our overall Environmental sustainability.  Town Council recognized the opportunity to showcase alternative energy technology while benefiting from the long term cost savings ~ Roderick de Leeuw, General Manager of Community Infrastructure, Town of Canmore
  • Geoff at KCP was very responsive to the initial planning and final design of the system.  We have continued a program of retrofits on other Municipal buildings and are excited about the long-term potential of these systems. ~ Roderick de Leeuw, General Manager of Community Infrastructure, Town of Canmore
  • KCP makes it easy and convenient for municipalities to utilize solar energy as a viable energy alternative.
    ~ Sally Caudill, Communications & Environmental Care Coordinator, Town of Canmore
  • Starting now, our operating budget is going to be positively affected because we’re going to be paying less for energy. Any place where we can identify a cost savings, utilizing solar, we’re proceeding with it.
    ~ Lloyd Smith, Facility Operations Supervisor Town of Canmore
  • We recently completed our first Solar system on one of our multi-family projects in Canmore and we couldn’t be happier with Geoff and the people of KCP. Very easy people to work with and they provide a system that I feel has great value.
     ~ Doug Protz, Vice President Elk Run Homes

    ~Ron Casey, Mayor Town of Canmore
  • KCP has made it possible for our municipality to move closer to sustainability by incorporating solar energy into several of our facilities.  
    ~ Sally Caudill, Communications & Environmental Care Coordinator, Town of Canmore
  • All three of these [higher efficiency domestic water heating boilers, heat recovery ventilators and solar-powered domestic hot water system] will allow us to walk the walk…and there is a really good chance for us to achieve a Built Green gold at a minimum Built Green silver (certification)
    ~Rod de Leeuw, Manager of Community Infrastructure Town of Canmore
  • The reason we chose to use Solar on our Caffaro Fusion building at 702-4th Street in Canmore is that we like the idea of trying to not only innovate, but to try and help preserve some of mother nature’s natural resources.
    ~ Doug Protz, Vice President Elk Run Homes
  • We chose to go with KCP Energy because their solar thermal solution met our needs. I feel it is up to all of us to do our part for future generations.
    ~ Peadar O'Rian, VP Operations Riverdale Homes
  • Solar is a renewable resource that needs to be utilized now that this technology is available to us.  Building homes and adding innovation to our homes through energy efficient products such as high efficient furnaces, high efficient hot water tanks, Energy Star appliances and high efficient windows just doesn’t seem like enough.  
    ~ Doug Protz, Vice President Elk Run Homes
  • Excellent economic and environmental return on our investment.
    ~ Marlo Raynolds, Home Owner
