Ontario's Feed In Tarrif (FIT)Program
In the fall of 2009, the Ontario government and the OPA (Ontario Power Authority) launched the Feed In Tariff Program - the single largest climate change initiative in North America.
This program is a government guaranteed funding structure that offers VERY attractive rates and stable, long term (20 yr) contracts for renewable energy generation.

ROOFTOP RATES: 10 kW or less = 80.2¢/kWh 10-100 kW = 71.2¢/kWh 100-500 kW = 63.5¢/kWh more than 500kW = 53.9¢/kWh
GROUNDMOUNT: less than 10 MW = 44.2¢/kWh
HOW DOES IT WORK? Once your system is installed you will get paid by the OPA (via your local electrical distributing company) a fixed premium rate for every kilowatt-hour of energy produced.
IS IT COMPLICATED? No. The steps are outlined on the OPA's website. There is some red tape, as is to be expected! By purchasing your system through ProQuip, you have the added benefit of a facilitated process.
