Badinski Family Farms Go Solar Near Melfort — Two Northern Saskatchewan Installs

Two Badinski family farms near Melfort, Saskatchewan — 46 kW combined ground-mount solar across Scott's 13 kW system and Lionel's 33 kW system.

Scott + Lionel Badinski · Installed August 2023

Project overview

Two Badinski family farms in the Melfort area of northern Saskatchewan, both using Prairie Sun Solar — Scott's 13.02 kW ground-mount system (installed Nov 2022) and Lionel's 33.12 kW system (installed Aug 2023). Combined production is 46 kW of capacity producing roughly 60,000+ kWh per year. Both systems are running above the Saskatchewan provincial average of 1,200–1,300 kWh per kW per year — proof that properly sited solar performs strongly even in northern Saskatchewan, where sun hours are lower than the southern part of the province.

What stands out

  • Two Badinski family farms near Melfort, Saskatchewan — Scott's 13.02 kW system plus Lionel's 33.12 kW system, both ground-mount solar installs
  • Both systems above the Saskatchewan provincial average — proof that properly sited solar performs strongly even in northern Saskatchewan, where sun hours are lower than the south
  • Multi-system family relationship spanning two farms and two install years — Scott commissioned Nov 2022, Lionel followed Aug 2023

What this means for you: kWh per kW per year is the gold-standard measure of solar performance — it accounts for system size, sun hours, panel orientation, and weather. Higher numbers mean fewer panels needed for the same energy output, lower install cost, smaller footprint on your roof or land, and a faster payback period.
