February Solar Power Generation
Yes, the sun came out more in February. But not enough. We generated just 79.7 percent of what we “should” have (according to the official PVwatts chart). At least that is better than the 70.5 percent rate of the previous two months.
What is a kilowatt hour?
You might be answering the title question with a big “Who cares?” But if you generate solar power to feed in to the grid, it is worth understanding how you will be paid. And you will be paid for kilowatt hours. I can give you the specs in Ontario; in other jurisdictions the numbers will vary, but the basics – especially the physics – will remain the same.
Solar Installation Timeline
Now that we are finally feeding the grid – yes, we are officially a solar power generation plant, providing electricity to all of Ontario! – let`s answer one of the burning questions that anyone considering solar power and MicroFIT will be asking: How long did it take to get connected? Here is our timeline. Yours…
