The Inuit hamlet of Naujaat sits right on the Arctic circle, facing the icy shores of Hudson's Bay in Nunavut's northern Kivalliq Region. Home to around one thousand people, Naujaat is about to flip the switch on 2,500 solar panels — enough to power 130 homes, or about 60 per cent of the hamlet. By next spring, Naujaat residents are expected to be able to ditch diesel generator sets — for the summer months at least — and power parts of their community on solar energy alone.
