The North Okanagan is now home to the largest rooftop solar ... over a year after CEO and founder of Restoration Lands, Michael Molnar, told Castanet he planned to install a solar farm to his rooftop.

In the lab, Enecoat’s solar film has achieved 21.2% efficiency, meaning around a fifth of the solar energy is converted to electricity. Now, it is being tested in real-world conditions at the Expo.

Developers have been given the go ahead to build a new solar farm in the countryside, despite fears about the "dramatic impact" it could have on people living nearby.
