The FIT and microFIT Programs for Solar Power Systems

The Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) Program was launched after the Green Energy and Green Economy Act passed into law in May 2009. Run by the Ontario Power Authority (OPA), the FIT program pays a guaranteed price under long-term contracts for electricity generated by renewable energy systems, such as solar power. The FIT program prices are designed to help participants earn a high rate of return, so they can start making a profit faster.

The FIT Program is split into two parts:
  • microFIT: solar projects 10 kW or less
  • FIT: solar projects over 10kW
