Solar Power has come of age We have used solar power for decades – from calculators to watches. Today’s technology can harness the power of the sun to truly make a difference in our community, and in our world. How does solar work? Sunlight shines on a photovoltaic module and produces Direct Current (DC power). This is then converted into Alternating Current (AC power), which is used in homes. The electricity produced is metered separately from your existing meter and fed into the local power grid. Putting it to work for YOU! The Ontario Green Energy Act (GEA) introduced the Micro Feed In Tariff (microFIT) program to encourage the development of renewable energy projects and reduce Ontario’s reliance on fossil fuel. To stimulate economic growth, the majority of each microFIT must be manufactured in Ontario. w www.greenenergyact.ca Our customers have generated over 4 MegaWatts of power.
