How the Feed-In Tariff program works:
If you are a homeowner with suitable roof space, feed-in tariffs mean that you can install a photovoltaic system on your roof, connect it to the grid and get paid $0.802 per kWh that your system delivers to the grid (for systems up to 10kW). The rate is guaranteed for 20 years, a guarantee that allows you to get financing for the required investment and that, in most cases, will generate greater returns than your RRSP portfolio.

As an example:
An expenditure in the range of $75,000 for a 10kW grid-tied system could generate an average of approximately $1,200 per month for 20 years, $240,000, after which you still own the equipment. A 10kW Canadian Solar and Power photovoltaic system typically generates an average return on investment of +15% over the 20 year term.

MicroFIT systems typically range from $19,000 to $100,000.

This truly is a tremendous opportunity as it provides you with protection from ever increasing electricty rates, generates a safe and significant return on your investment, increases your property value as contracts are transferable, and it's environmentally beneficial.
