microFIT Systems
Tracker
Computer operated dual axis tracking can significantly improve the amount of total power produced by the system by 30-40% when compared to fixed systems. The table tops at 70km/h and is designed to produce energy even in harsh conditions, withstanding wind speeds of up to 177km/h. It is estimated to produce close to 16-20,000 KWh/year. The tracker system is equipped with a weight sensor that will eliminate snow build up or table-top if wind speeds are extreme.

Flush Roof Mount
Roof mounted 10kw systems require a space of approximately 1,000 square feet on a south facing side of the roof. Panels are mounted on aluminum rails, parallel with the roof. This system is estimated to produce close to 10-13,000 KWh/year. This type of solar photovoltaic system can be the most cost effective for large roof areas greater than 1,000 square feet as well. If you have a South facing roof or are building a new barn or shed, we can work with you to take advantage of the FIT program.

Flat Roof Tilt Mount
This is a roof mount system for a flat surface roof. The tilt mount system takes advantage of the unused rooftop space of commercial buildings in urban areas. Panels are placed at a 30 degree angle using an Ontario manufactured Unirac mounting system and Canadian Solar panels. These systems can range in size from 10KW on small commercial buildings to 500KW or more on factories or warehouses. For an open roof space, approximately 50% of the square footage can be turned into panel surface area. We work with local engineers and roofers to ensure that the structure and integrity of your roof are not affected.
Fixed Ground
Mounted on the ground with concrete piers, as a stationary unit. Generally produces more than a roof mount, at about 11-15,000 KWh/year. Increased production comes from airflow cooling the panels and increased angle towards the sun of 35 degrees rather than the pitch of your roof. This unit can be separated into several units depending on panel arrangement and space availability. Fixed ground mount systems require virtually no maintenance as snow does not collect easily due to the angle of the panels. These units use Canadian Solar Inc panels.
Manual Tracker
1-axis ground mount can be seasonally adjusted for optimal power generation from left to right or back to front. Electricity production of this unit is between the tracker and roof mount system, varying by location. 2-axis manual ground can be seasonally adjusted both left to right and back to front for optimal power generation.
