Starting with a structural upgrade to strengthen existing rooftop supports, the project will include a web-based performance-monitoring system that tracks system status, power production and environmental variables to ensure optimal operation.
While helping the City of Toronto meet its renewable energy goals, the integrated solar power system can also generate revenue through contract-based incentives such as the Ontario Power Authority’s proposed Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program.
While offering immediate benefits in the form of reduced energy consumption, lower monthly electricity bills and ongoing revenue generation, the system’s rooftop array will serve as a highly visible symbol of the City of Toronto’s commitment to a sustainable future powered by clean and efficient renewable energy technology.
