Solar hot water and solar PV for sure. We have at least two developments in Colwood using ground geothermal as a heat source.
The Solar Colwood program introduced the notion of PV4EV – or photovoltaics for electric vehicles. Under the program, Colwood residents who have an EV and put solar PV on the roof sized such that over the course of a year it produces more electricity than the car uses, we consider it to replace the fossil fuels that once drove our gas cars. (Just for fun, we have nicknamed it “Driving on Sunshine”. And I refer to the PV on my roof as my “Alberta oilfield”.
Fantastic job by Kjell and team for the Solar Scholarship program on Salt Spring!
