As a volunteer, he has helped people from different walks of life for many years, including talented people from different countries and faith traditions.

This company is where Leon’s passions have met together – developing leading software, guiding a team to success and giving back to the community at the same time.
VCT Group has installed, owned, and operated more than 300 solar sites since 2010. Boxbrite partnered with them to address the challenges and time required to constantly monitor performance and watch for faults in multiple systems.
Here’s what Brian Unrau, president, says about working with Boxbrite:
“Small performance issues can compound into energy production losses over time. We partnered with Boxbrite Technologies to develop a unique active monitoring platform and service to ensure our systems operate at peak efficiency.”
Boxbrite is piloting a distribution model with Andrew Clare, who has worked in business development, application and contract management, domestic content and other roles in both FIT and microFIT projects. He helped develop CanSIA’s Distributed Generation Task Force, researching jurisdictional best practices and helping create policy suggestions to be presented to government.
Andrew’s company, Distributed Resources, is a renewable energy consulting firm specializing in solar power.
Distributed Resources delivers expertise in renewable energy through consulting services in net metering and solar business proposition analysis, grant applications, and other energy and sustainability-related activities. The company also offers solar energy system installations for homes and businesses, as well as monitoring and reporting services.
Distributed Resources acts as a distributor for the software services that Boxbrite Technologies offers. The partnership builds on the trust Andrew and his company have built as a consultant and trusted advisor on issues in the Ontario industry at large.
Trusted relationships are at the core of our business.
Interested in being a distributor?
You already have a trusted relationship with your customers. Our distributor program supports your commitment to your customers by quickly catching problems that might otherwise be overlooked, saving you time and your customers money.
We provide an end-to-end solution – from monitoring to job and task tracking – at no cost to your company. Our standardized platform ingests data from many of the existing inverter manufacturers, and we can fully support and integrate with your processes.
You still own the customer relationship, but we’ll do the workflow and monitoring. Our advanced analytics and reporting help you focus on providing professional guidance, rather than having to spend your time extracting, analyzing and presenting the data. Your customers are happier because they are paying for that guidance and not the repeated effort of getting the data.
We’ll help you take care of your customers, not just once, but as opportunities arise for your customers to upgrade or take on additional projects.
Let us help you keep your customers, and keep them coming back, year after year.
Our Team
Boxbrite might have been started by one person, but our team makes the company. We are humans of the planet. We come from all corners of it, and we try to live on it gently. Boxbrite is permanently based in home-centred offices. Our team can meet with you anywhere. Most of our employees work out of their home offices in Waterloo Region.
