While Canada lags behind in solar adoption, many places including Germany, China, Japan and even the United States are moving quickly.

In fact, on certain days, some places are generating so much energy, the price to purchase it is dropping below zero, prompting concerns about storage capacity for the abundant power source.

Manitoba doesn't belong on that list. Manitoba's electricity comes from 100% renewable sources (~97% hydro, ~3% wind, and 0% fossil fuels).
