Canada's Limen Group Ltd. Major Investor in Grasshopper Solar
Since the launch of the province of Ontario?s Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) program in 2009, Ontario has become a global leader for solar energy projects. The program, the first of its kind in North America, aspires to replace a percentage of fossil fuel energy supply in years to come. Over the next three years the solar industry will attract over $4 billion in investment to expand the market and renew existing infrastructure. ?As experts in construction, we understand the challenges facing real estate developers and property owners as they adapt their plans to integrate solar power into their infrastructure to meet changing energy requirements as a result of this new program?, said Tony Lima, President of Limen Group. ?Through this investment, we are accepting the challenge by governments across Canada to capture a building?s solar energy generation potential and it is Grasshopper Solar?s industry expertise paired with its unique large-scale software solution that we have chosen to maximize this potential.?
