Energy Security and Independence
Its not all sunshine and roses. Rural Nova Scotia communities are often the most vulnerable to grid disruptions caused by severe weather events or utility infrastructure failures. The potential for increased energy insecurity in the coming years is a key concern for residents across the province.

A solar-plus-storage solution (solar PV paired with battery backup) offers a powerful safeguard against this risk. When the grid goes down, the battery system automatically takes over, providing essential power to the home. This provides true energy independence and resilience, ensuring that critical loads remain operational even during prolonged outages.

Some people get upset when governments provide programs for renewables and energy efficiency. Many of these same people do not complain about subsidies for fossil fuel. Canada provides billions of dollars in financial support to the fossil fuel industry through a combination of federal and provincial programs, with estimates of the total value varying widely. In 2023, federal support was at least $18.6 billion, including loan guarantees for the Trans Mountain pipeline and public financing through Export Development Canada (EDC). Provincial subsidies are also significant, with four provinces alone providing at least $2.5 billion in 2020/2021. These subsidies can include direct payments, tax breaks, and other financial supports like royalty reductions, which are distinct from the federal carbon tax.
U.S. Investment and Ownership: A significant portion of the companies operating in the Canadian oil patch have U.S.-based investors or are publicly traded on U.S. exchanges. Profits in the form of dividends and capital gains flow to these inv

Very cool! Ocean going solar.

We are thrilled to share that Wattlab, a Netherlands-based Enphase partner, has installed one of the world's first systems on a seagoing ship. It is delivering 79 kW of clean power with Enphase microinverters and reducing the MV Vertom Tula's onboard electrical load by 20%.

The modularity and reliability enabled by Enphase make them the perfect solution for each ship’s unique needs. is proud to support innovators like Wattlab as they expand solar’s impact on land and at sea.
