Many Canadians want to install rooftop solar panels to help reduce their electricity bills; however, restrictions prevent them from being compensated adequately for surplus energy they generate.
Darren Chu notes that solar power generation limits frustrate customers with excess roof space, as they're restricted to producing only what they consume, preventing them from exporting surplus.
The federal government's recent draft regulations aim for a carbon-neutral electricity grid in Canada by 2035, but critics warn this could increase prices and reduce reliability.
Martin Boucher highlights that solar energy disrupts the traditional utility model, which relies on large distant generators selling power to single utilities at low prices.
