$AWSL Our Business - Rooftop Solar Systems
The most notable opportunity for businesses and private citizens in participating in Ontario’s FIT program, is for developing solar systems located on the rooftops of large commercial buildings. The provincial government is particularly focused on promoting and developing this class of renewable energy system for the following key reasons:
1) Commercial rooftop systems (ie. 30,000-50,000 sq.ft. solar arrays) are large enough to generate a “meaningful” amount of electricity back to the power grid (as opposed to smaller residential solar systems), justifying the FIT investment by the OPA.
2) These systems leverage the existing power infrastructure/connectivity already in place within the commercial buildings. Therefore, power system upgrades by the local utility companies are usually not required.
3) Unlike large ground-based solar parks which can require several years of due diligence and power grid impact studies, commercial rooftop systems are fast, efficient and readily deployable.
