That 1.5% figure measures the share of electricity consumption met by solar photovoltaics (including self-consumed PV). It shows solar is growing, but Canada’s grid is still dominated by hydro and nuclear, with wind larger than solar. Confusion often comes from combining wind + solar: together they were about 7% of generation in 2021, which is higher but not solar alone. Expect the solar share to rise as new projects come online—especially in provinces like Alberta and Ontario—but today it remains a small (if fast-growing) part of the mix.
