Most renewable energy projects in Northern Ontario start with one practical question: how far does the nearest power line actually run. Bur Oak Resources has spent years answering that question for property owners across the region. Based in North Bay, the company takes its name from the bur oak tree and serves customers around North Bay, Sudbury, and Manitoulin Island.The company supplies and installs solar photovoltaic systems, battery banks, grid-tie inverters, generators, and wind devices. Property owners living off the grid in Ontario usually need several of these products working together rather than one, because a cabin or a farm still has to cover lighting, water pumping and refrigeration with no utility connection behind it. Mounting choices include rooftop arrays, ground mounts, pole-top mounts and carport structures, and each suits a different site.
A spokesperson for Bur Oak Resources said, "Every remote site has its own conditions, so we take measurements before we recommend anything at all. Our customers want power they can rely on through a northern winter, and that comes from matching the panels, the battery bank, and the inverter to how the property is actually used. Steel roofing fits into the same conversation more often than people expect, since the roof is what the array sits on for the next twenty-five years. We like that part of the job."
Beyond solar, the product range covers LED outdoor lighting, biofuel devices, micro hydro power and commissioning equipment. Grid-tie inverters convert the direct current produced by panels or wind devices into alternating current, which allows a connected property to send surplus power back to the grid. The steel roofing side of the catalogue comes from the Westman Group, a Canadian supplier that has served the agricultural sector for more than fifty years, providing roof and wall cladding, flashing, and fasteners for barns, stables, and greenhouses.
Demand across the region has stayed steady among cottage owners, farm operators and households some distance from three-phase service. The team handles supply, design and installation, and it works with customers who prefer to plan a system in stages as budget allows.
