Canadian Solar Industries Association L'Association des Industries Solaires du Canada www.cansia.ca 4 Solar Works in Canada! Germany Canadian Solar Industries Association L'Association des Industries Solaires du Canada www.cansia.ca 5 Benefits of Solar Energy • Solar energy is: • • • • Abundant and Ubiquitous. Clean and Reliable. Scalable and Deployable. Accessible to all Canadians. "I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait till oil and coal run out before we tackle that." - Thomas Edison Canadian Solar Industries Association L'Association des Industries Solaires du Canada Solar Heating Solar Electricity Residential Commercial Large-Scale www.cansia.ca 6 Solar Market Trends Solar Electricity Solar Heating 140 120 100 Total 80 Liquid 60 Air 40 20 0 350.0 300.0 250.0 200.0 Grid-Tied 150.0 Off-Grid 100.0 50.0 0.0 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 Canadian Solar Industries Association L'Association des Industries Solaires du Canada 400.0 2005 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 Industry Milestones: 1,000,000 m2 of systems in cumulative operation in Canada in 2010.

Canadian Solar Industries Association L'Association des Industries Solaires du Canada www.cansia.ca 8 Solar PV Pilot and Demonstrations • Edmonton Solar-Electric Pilot Program: • Municipal rebate program in 2010. • For residential and non-residential sectors. • Incented installation of approximately 140 kW (equivalent to 700 solar modules). • Okanagan Centre of Excellence: • 260 kW system (1,106 modules). • Largest system outside Ontario. • Learning tool for trades classes. Canadian Solar Industries Association L'Association des Industries Solaires du Canada www.cansia.ca 9 Solar PV Feed-In Tariff 2,754 panels installed on two community centres Town of Markham, York Region, ON: • Thornhill and Angus Glen Community Centres. • 350 kW and 250 kW systems. • Produce enough electricity annually for 84 homes (~770 MWh). • Municipality developing several more projects in 2012. Canadian Solar Industries Association L'Association des Industries Solaires du Canada Brian Bentz, PowerStream and Frank Scarpitti, Mayor of the Town of Markham Thornhill flip the switch on the Community Centre in Markham. www.cansia.ca 10 Solar Water Heating Captures solar radiation & delivers heating value on site: • Small Systems: • Domestic water, showers, dishes, etc • Large Systems: • Where lots of hot water is needed e.g. pools, multiresidential housing, hospitals, car washes, laundries. Skyfire Okotoks, AB, 52 homes solar district heating Seaforth Seaforth Town of Guysborough, NS Community fitness center (left) and seasonal swimming pool (right) Canadian Solar Industries Association L'Association des Industries Solaires du Canada www.cansia.ca 11 Municipal Solar Water Heating Programs • Halifax Solar City: • $5 million pilot project to encourage homeowners to install solar panels for heating domestic hot water. • Financed through property tax bills. A Solar-heated neighbourhood • Solar Colwood: • $3.9 million pilot project with a goal of whole community change toward energy conservation & renewable clean energy. Canadian Solar Industries Association L'Association des Industries Solaires du Canada City of Colwood Fire Department www.cansia.ca 12 Drake Landing Solar Community Drake Landing Solar Community in Alberta is the first of its kind in North America: • Over 2,300 m2 of solar collectors providing over 90% of the community’s annual heating needs. • 52 homes served via a district heating network. • Summer solar energy stored in boreholes for use in Winter.

Legal, Regulatory and Policy Hurdles. Institutional Knowledge/Capacity Hurdle. Technical Hurdles. Smart policy and partnerships between all levels of government and industry is required to accelerate the deployment of solar technology. Canadian Solar Industries Association L'Association des Industries Solaires du Canada www.cansia.ca 20 Municipal Policies and Programs • Regulatory: • Streamline permitting. • Solar Ready requirements. • Solar Obligations (i.e. the Merton Rule). • Financial: • Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE). • Municipal Feed-In Tariffs. • Municipal Renewable Energy Credits.
