Ontario's feed-in tariff or FIT Program is North America's first comprehensive guaranteed pricing structure for renewable electricity production. It offers stable prices under long-term contracts for energy generated from renewable sources, including photovoltaic (PV). FIT Pricing is the best in the world at 80.2Cents/KWh for systems 10KW and smaller! and 71cents for roof mount systems up to 250KW!

Designated Activity |
Qualifying Percentage |
|
1 |
Silicon that has been used as input to solar photovoltaic cells manufactured in an Ontario refinery. | 10% |
2 |
Silicon 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% |
3 |
The crystalline silicon solar photovoltaic cells, where their active photovoltaic layer(s) have been formed in Ontario. | 10% |
4 |
Solar photovoltaic modules (ie. 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% |
5 |
Inverter, where the assembly, final wiring and testing has been done in Ontario. | 9% |
6 |
Mounting systems, where the structural components of the fixed or moving mounting systems, 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 (ie. bending, welding, piercing, and bolting). | 9% |
7 |
Wiring and electrical hardware that is not part of other Designated Activities (ie. items 1, 2, 3, and 5 of this table), sourced from an Ontario Supplier. | 10% |
8 |
All on- and off- site labour and services. For greater certainty, this Designated Activity shall apply in respect of all Contract Facilities. | 27% |
