Considering Canada is so far north, can I actually produce much solar power with PV panels?
Canada’s solar potential is better than that of some world leaders in solar energy generation (e.g. Germany). Canada has abundant solar energy resources, with the largest being found in southern Ontario, Quebec and the Prairies. The territories have less potential because of their higher latitude, which results in less direct sunlight. The amount of solar energy available across the country varies with the season, latitude, weather conditions and the time of day. A surprise note — Solar PV panels perform more efficiently in cold weather. Natural Resources Canada has developed a solar radiation map, available for viewing. You can also view an interactive map.

Canadian Solar’s panels are perfect for the Ontario climate. Not only do they perform well in the warmer months, Canadian Solar’s panels achieve higher performance results in cold weather since they increase in efficiency and production output during colder weather.
