Bur Oak Resources is now offering wind turbine systems for properties that run without a connection to the electrical grid. The company works with homeowners, businesses, and remote communities that need power in places where utility connections are not available or do not make sense to install.The new wind systems solve a problem that solar systems alone cannot handle during certain months of the year. During winter, solar production reduces as daylight reduces and the panels are covered with snow for long durations. When this occurs, batteries get depleted, and systems even stop unless there is another source of energy. Wind turbines are not reliant on the sun and operate during the night or during heavy snowfall.
The company takes care of the initial site visits, equipment selection, and installation and maintenance. They have wind systems that are geared towards small residential areas and large commercial areas.
"People living off-grid in Ontario understand what it means to lose power in January," a company spokesperson said. Solar panels can sit under snow for days. Wind keeps turning. That's not marketing language. It's how these systems survive real conditions. We are also witnessing more property owners realize that a single source of energy is not sufficient, particularly in isolated places where they have little or no alternative sources."
Ontario wind turbines require careful planning due to zoning rules, along with noise limits and local wind conditions. Not every site gets enough wind to support a turbine, and not every town allows turbines without strict permit steps. Bur Oak Resources checks each site using both on-site testing and historical weather data to decide if a wind system is the right fit. The company complies with Ontario Building Code requirements and also communicates with the local governments to get all the permits before the work is started.
When the sun cannot satisfy the demands of the off-grid residents, they tend to use propane and diesel generators. These fuel systems are noisy and need continuous servicing, as well as constant fuel expenses. Wind turbines do not remove every issue, but give property owners another way to stay powered during high-use times or long stretches without sun.
Bur Oak Resources continues to support clients who need steady power in locations where the grid does not reach or where the cost of connection is too high.
