Canadian Solar Industries Association
The Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA) is the voice of Canada's solar professionals. The national organization represents well over 100 companies involved in the design, sale and installation of solar electric, solar thermal and passive solar technologies.
CanSIA works to strengthen the Canadian solar industry, increase the professionalism of companies, foster domestic and international markets and promote the use of renewable energy.
CanSIA’s mission is to develop a strong, efficient, ethical and professional Canadian solar industry, able to service an expanding domestic energy market, to provide innovative solar solutions to world energy problems, and to play a major role in promoting the transition to a solar energy future worldwide.
Solar photovoltaics has been growing domestically and internationally at a rate of close to 30 per cent over the last 10 years, and just like the wind energy sector, the growth of solar energy is expected to steadily increase even more in the next 10 years.
