A city committee passed new regulations Thursday that lay out the ground rules for companies looking to build battery energy storage facilities in Ottawa, but residents are split on whether the new rules go too far — or not far enough.
In Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (latitude: 45.4215296, longitude: -75.6971931), solar power generation varies across the seasons due to differences in daylight hours and sunlight intensity. On average, each day per kW of installed solar capacity yields 5.96 kWh in summer, 2.87 kWh in autumn, 1.82 kWh in winter, and 5.45 kWh in spring.
The higher energy production during summer and spring months can be attributed to longer days and increased sunlight exposure compared to autumn and winter when daylight hours are fewer. This makes Ottawa a suitable location for generating solar power year-round, particularly during the sunnier seasons.
During Winter, adjust your solar panels to a 59° angle towards the South for optimal energy production. Lastly, in Spring, position your panels at a 38° angle facing South to capture the most solar energy in Ottawa, Canada. Our recommendations take into account more than just latitude and Earth's position in its elliptical orbit around the Sun.
