Solar Energy
Solar energy, either thermal or photovoltaic, has become the fastest-growing alternative energy technology globally. It is popular because it provides individuals and corporations with the ability to make an individual effort towards reducing the effects of climate change. Solar systems are being installed in residential and commercial areas in Ontario. Exhibition Place in Toronto has constructed a 100 kW photovoltaic grid, the largest in Canada. WoodGreen Community Services hosts Ontario’s largest solar thermal energy installation, which augments the hot-water supply of a multi-unit residential building in Toronto. Meanwhile, Canada’s largest solar farm, which will produce 40 MW of electricity, is being built near Sarnia, and another 20 MW farm at Sault Ste. Marie has been announced.
