About Solcan

Solcan is an advanced manufacturing company located on Clarke Rd in the GorhamClarke Triangle of London, Ontario. The business designs, manufactures, and installs various solar energy systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional clients, as well as for cottage owners. The company offers a comprehensive range of solar solutions, including solar thermal systems for heating applications and specialized solar pool heating. They also provide solar electric (photovoltaic) systems, including both grid-tied and off-grid options to offset or reduce electrical consumption. Specific products include flat-plate solar collectors, pre-packaged systems for residential domestic hot water heating, and pre-engineered systems for small commercial applications. Founded in 1975 by Robert Swartman, Solcan has grown into a leader in the Canadian solar industry. The business was established during a period of significant growth for solar thermal projects in Canada and has evolved from a primary focus on thermal energy to becoming well-versed in photovoltaic technology. The company remains entirely family-owned and operated, with Swartman's granddaughter, Jessica, and her husband, Lyle, now involved in the business. Solcan manufactures its solar thermal collectors locally in London and serves customers across Canada and various international sites.
