The philosophy of each program remains the same – offering a guaranteed price structure for renewable energy projects.
However, small systems such as residential rooftop require different rules than large-scale projects like a wind farm, for obvious reasons.
The FIT program is designed for projects over 10 kW.
The MicroFIT program is designed for projects 10 kW and under.
MicroFIT is a green energy subsidy program developed by the Ontario Government with the Ontario Power Authority [OPA].
This program allows the opportunity to develop a very small or “micro” renewable electricity generation project on your property.
The MicroFIT program is based on a 20-year contract with the OPA.
Under the microFIT Program, you will be paid a guaranteed price [80.2¢] for every kilowatt-hour of solar electricity your project produces for at least 20 years and feed into the grid.
This is the program that would suit our church.
