    Sure, but this article is about the lack of utility-scale solar capacity (read: large solar plants), not small-scale, individual efforts.

      Yes, it is. I guess I’m just thinking that as bills rise and capacity shrinks, there could be a provincial govt-led effort to reduce demand on the existing grid.

        I’d definitely love to see some grants or other assistance to get people building their own capacity.

          They had it but you had to use commercial installers and approved equipment sold through an installer. It came out to 3X as much as DIY, and they’d only cover half. Utter corporate welfare, I just bought the stuff myself and installed it and saved about $10,000
