Canada’s utility solar market grows moderately with a CAGR near 10%, supported by provincial incentives and clean energy mandates. The main drivers are the shift from fossil fuels and rising electricity demand. Constraints include seasonal variability and limited solar irradiance in northern regions. Opportunities arise from combining solar with hydroelectric resources and battery storage. Trends highlight community solar projects and grid modernization efforts. Increasing focus on Indigenous partnerships and environmental sustainability also fuels growth, while policy clarity continues to improve investment confidence.
