Audette Farm Solar Near Melfort — 23.5 kW Bifacial Ground Mount

Project overview

Wayne and Lynette Audette's 23.54 kW bifacial ground-mount solar system near Melfort, in north-central Saskatchewan, powers their mixed grain and livestock farm. Annualized output is roughly 1,554 kWh per kW per year — above the Saskatchewan provincial average of 1,200–1,300, even at this northern latitude where sun hours are lower than the southern part of the province. Bifacial Canadian Solar panels capture reflected light off snow and bare ground, adding extra winter production a typical south-facing rooftop can't match. Two-year production trend: 35,280 kWh in their first full year (2025), on track for similar in 2026.
