Three insights to take away:

  • Solar installation providers are on the rise. Entrepreneurs are bringing new ideas to the energy market and are delivering more diverse products to customers.
  • Solar power deployment in Canada is an increasingly important sub-sector. The rising demand for sustainable energy should support energy transition efforts.
  • Costs and supply intermittency are solar power deployment barriers. Enhanced planning and collaboration can increase solar tech's reliability and affordability.
