Christian Wentzel

President and Co-Founder , Solar Provider Group

A pioneer in working with a wide range of organizations to develop solar projects, Christian partnered with First Nations and community energy co-operative groups long before the Ontario Power Authority decided to give priority to such projects, as he built SPG into a vertically integrated company that has developed over 50 MW of roof top solar in the last 2 years under a variety of different ownership schemes. Additionally, the company has championed a local solar racking provider and their proprietary flat roof system, as both have expanded into the USA, another positive outcome of Ontario’s leadership in promoting the sector.
