The Renewable Energy Technology Center in Windsor, Ontario opened its doors in August 2009.  The Center took over space in an old, shuttered automotive manufacturing facility in the heart of the city, renovated it  and re-purposed it to display the latest and best in renewable energy technologies with particular emphasis on solar technologies.  The RET-Center houses solar companies such as Green Sun Rising, and has a training-dedicated area.

Green Sun Rising for solar projects, both solar PV as well as solar thermal, see www.GreenSunRising.com
