The world of solar energy is changing quickly. The price of solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity continues its march downwards along with staggering world-wide growth. Solar electricity is now becoming affordable for us in our everyday lives. At the same time, we see that the price of electricity is poised to rise even more to pay for new transmission lines and cleaning up our dirty-coal electricity.
Is the solar tipping point within sight? Solar electricity is rapidly heading towards being cheaper than fossil-fuelled grid electricity for homeowners in Alberta. The time has arrived for sunny Alberta to harness another of its abundant renewable energy resources.
