Solar Energy Initiatives Inc. is dedicated to reducing the world’s dependence on fossil fuels by selling thermal and photovoltaic (PV) technologies while building a profitable company. To this end, they are developing one of the fastest growing dealer networks in the U.S. to sell and install solar solutions to homeowners as well as commercial customers.

The company recognizes that energy from the sun can be used in different ways. Most obvious is the sun’s light, which is used everywhere, via windows, skylights, and solar tubes. But the sun’s thermal energy has been used for a long time for passive solar room heating, hot water and pool heating. And improving technology has now led to an increasing use of the sun’s energy to generate electricity, not only in large solar power plants, but at the individual home and business level.

It’s important to remember

Sofame Technologies, Inc. derives its name from the phrase, “Solutions for Achieving Maximum Eco-efficiency”. Sofame Technologies custom engineers and manufactures unique, high-efficiency direct-contact heat recovery equipment and hot water heating systems. These systems are often employed in industrial plants that use energy intensive boiler systems.

Sofame’s products extract up to 99% of heat from flue gases and wastewater, and return the energy in the form of high temperature hot water or pre-heated make-up air to the combustion process, making the process more energy efficient. In addition to improved efficiency, Sofame’s solutions help its clients reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sofame was founded in 1984 by Luc Mandeville and Michel Dallaire.

In the last 20 years, Sofame has installed around 500 of its systems in the pulp and paper industry, the textiles industry, food processing facilities, hospital and university power plants. At this time, SOFAME holds
