Canada's solar resource

Between 1,000 and 1,300 kWh of clean electricity per installed kilowatt, every year.

01

Where you're building

Choose your community on a map of Canada.

02

Home, business, community or solar farm.

03

Discover the opportunity

Energy, savings, value and impact — in seconds.

Step 01 — Location

Where are you building?

Pick a province, search your community, or drop a pin. Solar resource, electricity rates and export rules follow the location.

Or choose a province or territory

SDD reference community — regional resource mapping. A precise point improves local context; generation still starts from the nearest regional solar reference until a site-specific study is done.

Step 02 — Project

What are you powering?

Choose the closest match. A single figure is all we need — everything technical stays behind the scenes.
