Good funding conditions in the province of Quebec drove the market. However, the record year 2023 with 28,054 m2 of newly installed solar air collectors (1.96 MW) could not be beaten. The second strongest segment of the Canadian solar thermal market, solar pool heating, experienced a severe decline of -63%, so that the market across all applications shrank by 17%.
These are results from the most recent market survey commissioned by Natural Resources Canada and carried out by solrico, which took place in January and February 2025.
