Nova Scotia buildings to feed solar power to grid under new program
HALIFAX — Nova Scotia — a province often perceived as rainy and windswept — is testing its potential for solar energy generation.
Peter Craig, a provincial Energy Department official who helped unveil a plan Friday that will see 18 applicants generate electricity for local grids, said Nova Scotia is sunnier than its reputation would suggest.
He drew a contrast with Germany.
“We actually have more sun due to our lower latitude than what Germany does, and they have a world leading amount of solar installed,” said Craig.
