SESCI
Solar Energy Society

of Canada Inc. Northern Alberta Chapter

The Northern Alberta Chapter of the Solar Energy Society of Canada Inc. (we call ourselves SESCI-NAC for short) was formed in 1976 in order to advance the awareness, understanding and promotion of the use of solar energy and energy conservation technologies.  We are located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

 SESCI-NAC logo

SESCI-NAC is a non-profit, educational organization with registered charitable status. It provides a resource for both the public and various levels of government about wise energy utilization and related technologies

We wish to enhance the quality of life by promoting innovative concepts and improvements in the application of solar energy and energy conservation technology.

We promote alternatives to the large and often wasteful use of energy by our Alberta society. We feel this can be done while still maintaining comfortable lifestyles. 

In our role of acting as a clearing house for alternative energy-related information, SESCI-NAC holds seminars, workshops, classes, exhibits and public demonstrations.
