Solar Electricity

 PV in Ontario - Get it while there's still a subsidy!!

In Ontario, within the last 3 years, the viability of solar electric systems has gone from having 100+ year paybacks to having 10-14 year paybacks!!

How and why? How - primarily through largest-in-the-world subsidies from Provincial government programs, and also due to a glut of solar electric product caused by the recession. Why - because someone has convinced the provincial politicians that we need solar electric power.

Ours is not to question the how's and why's here, but to provide the information on how to take advantage of the programs and get as much installed before the subsidy program is substantially modified or cancelled...

If comparing multiple quotes, one of the first gauges of the legitamacy of the quote is the claim of how many Kilowatt hours of electricity is delivered a year per Kilowatt of system installed. In South-central Ontario (GTA, etc.) the average is 1100 to 1150 kwhrs/kilowatt of DC capacity (for non-tracking panels). Be aware - some companies inflate this number by by as much as 50%. (inflating the kwhrs makes the payback look much better) Also, don't be mislead by claims about PV solar panels with "higher" efficiencies. It doesn't matter if the panel is more or less efficient - it's a matter of how much sunshine there is, and how many Kilowatts of peak capacity is installed.
