Abstract:
Engaging individuals, property owners and communities in generating clean energy to sell to the grid is a win-win for everyone. Cleaner energy, contributing to the greenness of the planet and getting paid to do it - it does not get much better than this. Drawing from the microFIT and FIT programs in Ontario, this article discusses the program participants’ obligations, how solar panel improvements under the program are financed and assessed, and the challenges in valuing long-term photovoltaic (PV) / solar contracts on residential and non-residential properties.
