This is in the wake of many new policies and an ambitious
Back in 2020, we published a blog outlining the benefits of Bifacial Solar PV Modules, demonstrating that they offered the lowest Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) when it comes to Solar and suggesting that Bifiacials are likely the future of photovoltaics.
With the days getting longer, the sun shining brighter, and a year of COVID under our belts, it’s a great time to observe the state of renewable energy in North America and explore some recent developments.Despite a pandemic, Renewable Energy has been thriving in Canada and the USA. Canada had significant growth in
In the midst of uncertainty with the current state of government energy rebates, and as electricity prices continue to rise, Ontario’s case for Solar Net Metering is strong today and will continue to increase in value each year of operation. Solar equipment prices have come down significantly in the past 10 years and
The Canada Energy Regulator (formerly the National Energy Board), published a report on the Economics of Solar Power in Canada (ESPC)[1] studying the financial viability of typical solar power projects in over 20,000 Canadian communities. While we’ve spoken quite a bit about the rapid drop in solar costs of the past
The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory recently published a paper on Solar PV project life and Operating Expense trends (you can read the paper here) drawing on the findings from a 2019 survey of U.S. solar project developers, sponsors, financiers, and consultants. There were two major takeaways of the study: over
With years of private and public experience, we’ll help you read between the lines, reduce regulatory risk, and help you succeed in Canada and beyond.
