Solar energy: a clean alternative to enhance electricity in our territory
Canada due to its large area has a lot of resources for solar power. The regions like the southernmost parts of Alberta, Ontario, and Saskatchewan, have the most solar potential. Today, solar energy is becoming a popular way to create power and heat in Canada, and it is serving to minimize pollutants associated with energy production. Despite the cold temperature and high latitudes (which receive a small amount of direct sunlight as compared to mid-latitudes), solar systems are used widely in Canada, from residential solar panels to massive power facilities. Due to its high latitude, however, the country receives comparatively little solar radiation. This, combined with cloudy weather, results in a capacity factor of only 6%, compared to a capacity factor of 15% in America. According to the Canada Energy Regulator (previously the National Energy Board), By 2040, solar power will account for approximately 3% of total energy generation capacity in Canada. From your position as a citizen, have you considered installing a solar panel system in your home? If you have, this will convince you! You can generate up to 2,000 kWh and become more prosperous as a result. Many homeowners still believe that a solar energy system is not a good option, but what if I tell you there are numerous benefits? The reality is that, when you add up the incentives and savings on the electricity bill, the biggest beneficiary is the average Canadian. And today you could be next.
