Solar is a total and colossal waste of money in Alberta where it is more cost effective to shut down versus even maintaining, period.
What may work in an Arizona desert with reasonable success might not work elsewhere.
May as well build some massive hydro dams on elbow river while at it, trying to generate electricity from a little water if we are going to waste. At least that would still generate some electricity in the winter and this cold...
