Transform your kilowatts in trees
for Haiti
November 20, 2010 Volts Energies is involved, with the cooperation of “Trees for the future”, a non-pro t company, to plant trees on the haitian territory. For every KW sold to our customer, 4 trees are planted. When you help us plant these trees, you contribute to balance the carbon dioxide emissions, released into atmosphere. Each tree can | off set an average of 50 lbs of CO2 emitted per year. An act of kindness to help haitian people who needs to reforest, while contributing to protect the environment. We aim to plant more than 10 000 trees, we would be very grateful if you help us to reach this target. A certi cate will be released to you to validate |
the number of trees which were planted thanks to your contribution, as well as the amount of CO2 balanced. |

Four trees for a kilowatt. | last month. “For each kilowatt we undertake to plant four trees - explain Alexandra Mailhot, the company secretary. - So, on an average sale, there are about a hundred planted trees.” «We have a social consciousness». The company, which develops renewable energy projects, in particular on retrieving the heat released by the generators, wishes to invite its customers to take their “responsability above all”. “When our customers call us, we try to make them lower the loads which are going to be on the generator to decrease its power and to reduce the greenhouse e ect gasses emitted. | We earn nothing on doing so, but we have a social consciousness.”, concludes Mr. Caron.Since March 1st and the start of the operation, the company Volts Energies planted 1469 trees and wishes to reach its target of 10 000 trees by the end of May, 2012. |

The circuit. Highly multidisciplinary in its approach, this Laval company acts as an engineering rm, its team capable of taking on projects right from the concept and design stage. Its specialists can also carry out energy e ciency audits to provide an accurate picture of the client’s needs. Even before the submission stage, it “Our facilities allow us to deliver integrated systems and do everything in-house, from engineering to installation, including 3D design and bench testing,” explains Sébastien Rightly so, and in terms of clients, Volts Energies targets (among others) consumers who lack traditional access to the electricity grid, remote organizations and companies (out tters, forest industries, etc.), as well as services for commercial, industrial and residential users. Its products run from generators that operate in tandem (energy | combinations, optimization and recycling), to renewable energy and turnkey solutions. Th e house specialty? Hybrid energy containers. “We’re really focusing on building hybrid energy containers,” says Mr. Caron. “ ese are ‘plug-and-play’ designs that give you all the elements you need for a complete power supply solution for a given structure. We build it in pieces that connect up. ey’re easy to transport, robust and are all factory-tested. Once the container is in place at our client’s facility, we o er their employees training in Good vibrations. A responsible and committed company, Volts puts together the best products available on the local market to obtain a fast return on investment along with the maximum power output possible. “Whenever possible, we buy Quebec and Canadian products, although we also have U.S. suppliers.

It uses systems for recovering waste energy from internal combustion generators to increase the motors’ energy e ciency from 35% to over Laval Technopôle |
