Top biggest solar photovoltaic power stations in Canada. (Updated September 2024) A photovoltaic power station under construction in Vulcan County, Alberta. When completed in late 2022, it will become the largest photovoltaic power station in Canada
Canada's total wind, solar and storage installed capacity is now more than 24 GW, including over 18 GW of wind, more than 4 GW of utility-scale solar, 1+ GW on-site solar, and 330 MW of energy storage. Canada's solar energy capacity (utility-scale and onsite) grew 92% in the past 5 years (2019-2024).
Most of the solar power generating potential in Canada is located in the south in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. Canada has an overall maximum capacity factor of 6%, compared to 15% in the US. The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) anticipates that solar will form 3% of the country's overall generation by 2040.
British Columbia, one of Canada's most densely populated provinces, has relatively low solar insolation due to frequent cloud cover, especially along the coast. Newfoundland and Labrador has the lowest solar potential in Canada due to long, cloudy winters and its northern latitude.
