OPA Pricing Review - Early Bird Gets the Worm
The Ontario Power Authority is reviewing prices being paid for renewable energy production, and for those who submitted their solar applications prior to August 31, 2011 this will be the last chance to receive the 80.2 cent rebates.
It is highly probable that current incentive levels will be reduced as sustainable energy systems take hold in the Ontario market, and being grand-fathered at the original rates is a once in a life time opportunity.
If you are at all serious about joining the sustainable energy trend it is advised that you select your solar provider soon and move forward with your system installation.
If you need help with determining system costs, expected sun hours in your area, MicroFIT payouts and returns on your investment Sunrise can certainly be of assistance.

Is Solar a Good Investment Tool?
Based on the 80.2 cent MicroFIT program solar out- performs most investment opportunities available today.
Solar will provide a 10% - 12 % rate of return or more, far exceeding GIC's, government bonds, and the open stock market (even the blue chips).

A Guide to Residential Solar Projects
The average home in Ontario is 2000 sq ft and uses about $1,245.00 of electricity per year at today's energy rates. The average solar system for this home is 15 panels, and with the 80.2 cent rooftop MicroFIT tarrif will generate approx $3,338 in revenue per year.
Sunrise Actively Engaged with Social Housing Co-ops across Southern Ontario

A year ago The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing released project funding for a wide range of sustainable energy projects for Ontario co-op facilities.
Under the Renewable Energy Initiative (REI) these grants were tendered for solar generating systems to be grid-connected for the province's aggressive push towards alternative energy solutions.
Sunrise responded to many of these requests, and as an approved RET vendor were awarded many fo these projects across the Province. Almost all of them are now completed and are contributing vast amounts of energy to the grid that we are all now using.
For more information see Social Housing under our Products and Services section.
Sunrise Consumer Show Schedule
We'll be wrapping up our Fall show schedule with the Fall Cottage Show that takes place November 25 - 27 at the International Centre near the Toronto airport.
This will be an opportunistic time to chat about the benefits of the 80.2 cent incentive program for producing solar energy on your roof, as the OPA is currently reviewing the MicroFIT pricing schedule.
If you have your OPA application and have any questions about the next steps or how the process works please visit our booth. We can provide all the answers you'll need, and can prepare a no-cost, no-obligation proposal on-line to allow you to make an educated solar decision.
Now is the time to join others in the rewarding MicroFIT program for generating renewable energy.
