Notes

Source: Statistics Canada

Release: Electric Power Statistics

Units: Megawatt-hours, Solar generation, all producer classes

Frequency: Monthly

Notes: Electricity generated from solar in Canada in megawatt-hours per month, almost all of it in Ontario. This counts grid-scale and reported generation only; rooftop solar behind the meter is largely invisible to the survey, so the series understates total solar output. Strongly seasonal, peaking in June and July. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.
