No because the picture was taken at 7:30 at night, so the sun is setting on the horizon at that time. From about 9am to 4pm in the winter, and 9am to 8 pm in the summer is when it can get sunlight. It is stored in batteries, sold back to Hydro Quebec, used to power a home, etc. It won't replace Hydro Electric power especially since its already so cheap here, but is a good way to reduce reliance for energy from the grid.
