The EthoSolar team is getting very excited for The Canadian Energy Expo at the Canadian Outdoor Farm Show this year.   Coordinators of the expo have prepared a series of micro-seminars on alternative green energy including various demonstrations.  This will be a great time for farmers to educate themselves about the rapidly growing solar industry and other green energies. Among the speakers will be Erin Henderson of Hydro one and Don McCabe of the OFA.

The energy expo will be located next to the Ducks Unlimited Wetland Farm Pond.  EthoSolar’s booth can be found next to Hybrid Eco Watts and Brussels Agromart.   Come visit our booth and learn more about the possibilities for solar energy and the various systems that we offer.  Speak to one of our team members to learn about the show special for your solar project and enter to win a free EthoSolar hat and jacket.  Can’t wait to see you there!

In light of the OPA’s decision to honour the 80.2 cent price for those who applied before July 2nd,  it is imperative that applications be re-submitted by September 7th. If you do not re-submit your application by September 7th, your application will be withdrawn from the program. Visit the OPA’s website for more information.

Once you have received your conditional contracts, send in your 30% deposit as soon as possible in order to to get your system in queue for installation.  We are gearing up for a busy fall season full of installations.  Make your solar project the next EthoSolar installation!

The McLaughlin’s EthoSolar project has been catching lots of attention in Midland.  They recently hosted an open house featuring an EthoSolar information session, and have caught the eye of the Midland press.  They are one of the first farms to install the increasingly popular solar system in their area.

On February 23, 2009, the Ontario Government through the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) introduced the Green Energy Act (GEA). A primary part of the GEA is the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program, as well as the micro-FIT program. The FIT program is geared towards individuals or organizations producing more than 10kW/h, while the micro-FIT program caters specifically to those who only produce 10kW or less per hour, thus an individual home or business owner. In order to encourage individuals to get involved in renewable energy production, the OPA is offering the highest premium per kW/h to those participating in the micro-FIT program. The contract pricing from the OPA for a micro-FIT project is 80.2 cents per kW/h, this price is locked in for a 20 year term when a contract is signed. The original OPA proposal indicates that the micro-FIT program has a production cap of 1-2% of Ontario’s total electricity needs.
