Cooler weather does have an impact on the generation of solar energy in Vancouver, in that solar panels provided by companies like Terratek Energy Solutions work better in cool climates. The low temperatures provide the system with a natural way to cool itself. Likewise, for any days that we do get white snow on sunny days can help reflect and intensify sunlight, an event experts call the “albedo effect”.
With an ample and limitless supply of sunlight, Canada will continue to develop a stable solar market in the foreseeable future. Additionally, with prices of panels getting more affordable, now would be a good time to invest in solar power in Vancouver.
