Yarker, Ontario

This 250 kW AC system is SolarShare's 48th project and it is located outside of Kingston, Ontario. SolarShare partnered with Queen Street Solar Co-op to complete the development and construction of the project, and purchased the project from Queen Street Solar after it achieved commercial operation in December 2018. This ground-mount system uses single-axis tracker technology, which follows the sun from east to west, and consists of 882 Hanwha Q.Peak modules.

During the development of this project, SolarShare had to conduct a number of site diligence reviews related to the environmental approvals process under the Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR). As part of that diligence, a species at risk review was conducted by a consultant to explore whether there were any endangered or threatened species located on the proposed site. After conducting a field visit, it was determined that the site was indeed host to an endangered species, namely a butternut tree (Juglans cinerea). In response to this discovery, SolarShare worked with the landlord to move the project to a more suitable location on the site so as to avoid disturbing the tree.

The butternut tree is native to Ontario and is a member of the walnut family. It is under threat due to a fungal disease called butternut canker. You can find more information about this species of tree and its status in Ontario here.
