The Canadian Renewable Energy Association is forecasting Canada’s cumulative solar capacity, which stands at 5.4 GW today, could surge to around 21 GW by 2035, driven by a healthy procurement pipeline across most provinces. Official deployment figures for behind the meter solar installations last year, which are driving Canada’s solar market today, are yet to be finalized.

The company, known for its “one-stop shop” solar solutions, says it will integrate the former autonomous mowing company’s technology into its Plant Wide Controller (PWC) network.
