Grid-Tie Education Overview
The cost of energy is not getting any cheaper, and global concern for the environment is at an all-time high. Fortunately solar technology can help. To address rising energy costs and growing environmental concerns, proactive organizations are increasingly turning to solar grid-tie power.
How a System Works and the Rooftop Solar Process
Though relatively quick and easy to install, a solar grid-tie power system can make a big difference to the bottom line. As soon it's installed, the solar power system gets to work, automatically generating electricity from sunshine to help lower monthly power bills and reduce your overall dependency on the local electric utility. Whether installed on a new or existing building, this simple and reliable modification can help lower energy costs, while reducing the production of greenhouse gases.
OPA FIT and Solar Programs
The Ontario Power Authority (OPA) Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) program allows allows owners of Ontario-based, grid-tie solar power systems to sell renewable energy to the OPA at guaranteed rates.
