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

Solar Photovoltaics
Use physical properties of semi-conductors to convert
sunlight into electricity.
• Many examples of municipal
Pilot
and
Demonstration
projects and programs across
Canada.
• Significant
adoption
by
municipalities in Ontario’s FIT
program.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Solar and Green Building
Different programs – similar goals
Potential LEED® Contribution
- Same system can contribute to multiple categories
- Contributes to recycled content credits where the solar energy
system is building integrated.
- New regional priority credits may be applicable
where energy issues are of increased importance

On-Site Solar and LEED®
Sample Project:
- Building - 56% energy cost savings over typical NECB
- Solar thermal - 15% of building energy load
Direct solar energy LEED credit:
- 7 pts - On-site renewable energy (EA-C2)
- 9 pts - Optimize energy (EA-C1)
70% of the
energy used in
buildings is heat
energy
- NRCan
May elevate project to Silver or Gold & trigger
funding tied to energy performance
15% Solar energy savings annually

Hurdles to Deployment of Solar Technology
Mainstream wide-spread adoption faces challenges that
vary in magnitude from region to region:
•
•
•
•
Economic Hurdles.
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.
