9. Solar in Ontario Net Metered Systems Same equipment as MicroFIT
All energy produced will be used inside the home first
If an excess is produced the it goes back onto the utility line
Creates a credit on your meter
Can be used up at a later date
Credit carried forward for up to 1 year

11. Solar in Ontario Net Metered Systems
Hydro One charges $800 connection cost
No account fee increase
Roof Mounted ONLY
Current rate at approx $.15 / kWh
At this rate a 10 kW system has a 16 year payback

Implementation barriers
For residential “low voltage” 240 vac supply
Over 10 kW in size requires a $4950 CIA “Connection Impact Assessment” charge
Creates a financial barrier for systems kW in size.
