Wednesday, November 16, 2011 Alberta's First Net-Zero Energy Car
 SkyFire Energy Inc. announced the installation of a solar system on a private residence south of Calgary. Alberta to power a Tesla Roadster, the world's first electric supercar. The array of 12 installed solar panels will deliver enough energy to offset 100 % of the car's annual charging requirements.
Prior to installation, SkyFire monitored the necessary energy usage during the first few months and sized a 2160-Watt photovoltaic system to generate the requisite amount of energy from the sun.
