Basics Of Coming Solar PV and Storage Technologies

As we know the intensity of solar radiation and wind can change randomly, means electricity generated from these resources will also change randomly without any notice. In recent years wind and Solar PV and Energy Storage have been the major drivers of new electricity generation. With this increased amount of intermittent power generation from solar […]

Three Families’ Experiences with Residential Solar Under Ontario’s MicroFIT Program

The Ontario microFIT solar program was launched in 2009 as part of Ontario’s provincial government’s efforts to increase the production of renewable energy. The program provides participants with the opportunity to develop a “micro” renewable electricity generation project on their privately owned property that uses solar photovoltaic (PV), wind, waterpower, or bioenergy (biogas, biomass, landfill […]
Provincial First: Ontario’s Independent Electricity Operator Adopts New Storage Solutions to Balance the Grid

Calling it an “important milestone” in the evolution of Ontario’s electricity system, Paul Murphy, the president and chief executive of Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator, announced Thursday that energy and process storage technologies would be added to the mix of options available to provide regulation services to the province’s grid — that is, keeping supply […]
Saving Energy Is Not Really Costly

First question that come to a facility manager’s mind is “How much will it cost?” The basic energy efficiency projects costs next to nothing! First ingredient is “Commitment” at zero financial cost. In a saving energy in buildings, once the management has made the commitment, then comes planning on how to implement energy efficiency. This […]
Ontario Solar Market Update

The Ontario Power Authority (OPA), formerly responsible for coordinating province-wide MicroFIT, FIT, and conservation programs and long-term electricity system planning, has merged with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to form a single organization under the IESO name. The IESO now balances electricity demand and supply through the wholesale market and manages the flow of […]
How Snow Affects Your Solar Power System

The top ten warmest years on record worldwide have all occurred since 1998, and the world has experienced an increase in heavy precipitation and extreme temperatures in recent years. This year, winter has been especially dramatic with record low temperatures — a clear sign of the rising trend of extreme weather patterns on our planet. […]

Five Advantages Of Going Solar

Benefits Of Going Solar, 1. GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES Federal, provincial governments offer incentives to encourage homeowners to switch to solar power. The solar incentives vary by province, Ontario government’s current incentive – Feed in tariff pays premium for the solar electricity for 20 year. And the federal government allows solar system owners to get 100% HST […]
Benefits of Using a Power Optimizer in a Solar PV System

Power optimizers are a module-level power electronics solution that can be installed on-site or integrated during the manufacturing of a solar panel. Power optimizers offer many benefits to solar PV systems, including the following. Overall, power optimizers offer immediate and long-term financial benefits from higher energy production from each module and reduced maintenance cost.
