Ontario-based Ubiquity Solar Inc. is looking to bring its pilot project online in Sarnia in the coming months.

The company, which manufactures silicon bricks used in solar modules, is working to bring the $10-million pilot plant online at the TransAlta property on Vidal St. S.

CEO Ian MacLellan says they have big plans locally once the pilot program wraps up.

The production plant is also planned for the TransAlta site.

MacLellan says SNC Lavalin will assist with things like construction management and engineering.

In 2014, the company received $3.1-million from the federal government for the facility.
