Solar Power Calculator for British Columbia, Canada

We have solar calculator reports for more than 100 locations throughout British Columbia. As the distance between it's southern and northern border is more than 1200 km, the performance and solar panel angle vary a lot.

The city of Colwood (48.423611,-123.493333) is situated near the southern border with Washington, USA (some 10 km from Victoria). We run a solar potential report for it and the optimal panel angle for the area is 37 degrees with a +5 degrees azimuth rotation. Given you have the freedom to follow these placement tips, you can expect an average of 124193 kWh of energy to be generated by a 100 kWp solar plant.

We jump about 1160 km north to Fort Nelson - coordinates 58.804665,-122.69674 if you need them. As always, the more you go north, the bigger the optimal angle gets. 48 degrees is what you need your panels to be at for the best yearly power generation. Our solar calculator gives an estimate of 111552 kWh / 100 kWp panels.

A quick informative blob about BC and we go to some more solar reports.

In 1858, the Colony of British Columbia was founded by the British Crown and the Hudson's Bay Company. Located on the west coast of Canada, the colony grew rapidly, entering Confederation as a province in 1871. British Columbia is a wet and mountainous province on the west coast of Canada. The climate is mostly temperate, but can be warm in the summer and cold in the winter. There are many lakes and rivers, as well as some forests. Today, British Columbia is Canada's third most populous province, with over 4.8 million residents. The province is renowned for its natural beauty, with towering mountains, pristine lakes and forests, and a rugged coastline. Major cities in the province include Vancouver, Victoria, and Prince George.
