In this episode of The Solar PVcast, host Chris Palliser is joined by renowned climate scientist, former Green Party leader, and former BC MLA Dr. Andrew Weaver. Now a proud solar user himself, Dr. Weaver shares what inspired him to make the switch, the new conversations he's having with neighbours, and what he loves most about generating his own clean power.

We also look back on his impactful political career, including his role in shaping CleanBC, collaborating with then-Premier John Horgan, and his hopes for Canada's direction in the next federal election. From policy to personal action, and even a few words about his book, Dr. Weaver gives us a powerful reminder of why solar will play a crucial role in Canada’s clean energy future.
