Complete solar power guides and rankings for every province and territory in Canada. Based on incentives, sunlight levels, installation costs, and more.

Based on the Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) announcement about the year-end solar market data, Canada’s solar energy sectors grew significantly by 13.6% in 2021 with a total of 2,399 MW solar capacity, beating the 2,111 MW in 2020.

We’ve gone ahead and calculated the average solar production potential based on the five most populated cities for every province and territory in Canada. This capacity to turn light into electricity is also a major ranking factor in our Provincial Solar Rankings.

The industry added 2.3 GW of new installed capacity in 2023, including more than 1.7 GW of new utility-scale wind, nearly 360 MW of new utility-scale solar, 86 MW of new on-site* solar, and 140 MW / 190 MWh of energy storage.
