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
