Dunsky report defines potential for onsite solar to help Canada

Ottawa, December 14, 2023— The Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) welcomes the first comprehensive national market outlook for rooftop and on-site solar—also known as behind-the meter (BTM) solar—which calls for scaling up rooftop solar by 20-40 times to help Canada achieve net-zero targets.

Rio Tinto to build the largest solar power plant in Canada''s North

YELLOWKNIFE, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rio Tinto''s Diavik Diamond Mine will build the largest solar power plant across Canada''s territories, featuring over 6,600 solar panels that will generate approximately 4,200 megawatt-hours of

Solar energy

Canada generated around 4,323 gigawatt-hours of energy from solar power in 2022, which provided enough electricity to power over 470,000 typical Canadian homes. For solar thermal energy, Canada''s use has increased in recent years, although it remains relatively small in terms of market penetration.

Solar Photovoltaic Energy

In Canada, Photovoltaic (PV) technology has become a favoured form of renewable energy technology due to a number of social and economic factors, including the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, deregulation, and the restructuring of electric power generating companies.
