Qualifying Percentages ItemDesignated Activity Qualifying Percentage 1Silicon that has been used as input to solar photovoltaic cells manufactured in an Ontario refinery.10 2Silicon ingots and wafers, where silicon ingots have been cast in Ontario and wafers have been cut from the casting by a saw in Ontario. 12 3The crystalline silicon solar photovoltaic cells, where their active photovoltaic layer(s) have been formed in Ontario. 10 4Solar photovoltaic modules (i.e., panels), where the electrical connections between the solar cells have been made in Ontario, and the solar photovoltaic module materials have been encapsulated in Ontario. 13 5Inverter, where the assembly, final wiring and testing has been done in Ontario.9 6Mounting system, where the structural components of the fixed or moving mounting system, have been entirely machined or formed or cast in Ontario. The metal for the structural components may not have been pre- machined outside Ontario other than peeling/roughing of the part for quality control purposes when it left the smelter or forge. The machining and assembly of the mounting system must entirely take place in Ontario (i.e. bending, welding, piercing, and bolting). 9 7Wiring and electrical hardware that is not part of other designated activities (i.e., items 1 to 6 and 8 of this table), sourced from an Ontario supplier. 10 8All on- and off-site labour and services. For greater certainty, this designated activity shall apply for all contract facilities. 27 Total:100
