Solar power uses panels to capture and store energy from the sun – it’s one of the cleanest technologies out there but, of course, it only works when the sun is shining. Solar is still relatively expensive compared to other generation options but the cost is coming down as the technology evolves.
Solar power is generated using panels that converts energy from the sun.
Solar power generation depends on the intensity of sunlight, and cannot be captured at night.
Reliability
This is an unreliable energy source as you can only capture sunlight when the sun is shining.
Cost
Solar panels are very expensive, but the price is coming down as this technology evolves.
Impact
With zero emissions, solar energy has little to no impact on the environment.
Now
Solar power is becoming a popular option. About 1,200 homes and businesses use it in Saskatchewan as an extra supply source.
Future
We're looking into how we can add more solar power to the province. Most of our solar generation is going to come from utility-scale projects.
