What is MicroFIT? What's all the fuss?

Along with the social benefits of going green, the microFIT Program has attractive pricing for generators.

Here’s one example of upfront costs and returns for a typical microFIT project. It would cost about $30,000 to purchase and install solar PV panels on the roof of a home or commercial property. The panels would take up about 4 metres x 5 metres of surface area and have a generating capacity of about three kilowatts (kW).

This installation would generate about 280 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity a month.Under the microFIT price schedule, the payment for rooftop solar PV is 80.2 cents per kilowatt-hour. That’s about $7 a day or just over $2,500 a year. Purchase and installation costs could be recovered in about 12 years (estimated). This means you would get a 10%-15% ROI under MicroFIT with a 20 year guaranteed contract with the

OPA (Ontario Power Authority).

A safe investment that can earn 10%-15% ROI.

Do you have access to:

Commercial Roofs - Residential Roofs

Industrial Roofs - Acreage with open spaces?

Turn that valuable roof space into investment income by installing a 2KW - 500KW

Grid Tied solar photovoltaic system. No batteries, feeds directly into the GRID.

You or your business can get paid up to 80.2 cents a KW/h guaranteed under contract with OPA.

Investing in solar generation = generating an income for at least 25 years.

Provided system is correctly maintained, the system life can exceed 40 + years.

Renewable Energy Dealer!

We 'Practice what we Preach',

so we use the products that we sell

Btek RE Products provides RENEWABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS at an affordable price.

If it's a renewable energy product you are looking for, you will find it here.

Seasonal property and Cottage owners !

Earn monthly income OR reduce your energy bill completely.

Don't turn off your hydro in the winter, put up a 3KW Solar array or a

Skystream 3.7/RAUM Wind Turbine and all winter long, while you are at your main residence,

your system will produce kw/h's which will then be credited to your hydro bill. When summer arrives,

you can use those energy credits you produced and in essence have little or no hydro bill at all.

With a 20 year + service life and low maintenance ( a visual inspection  is required once a year)

you can rest assured you have quality and a solid reputation behind you when dealing

with a Skystream 3.7 from Southwest Wind Turbines.

The time is NOW - Start investing for yourself or for your business

Start producing your OWN renewable electricity!

Btek R.E. Products is prepared to work with government, agriculture,

community's and small businesses to encourage and promote the use

of solar and wind grid tied technologies - this technology lets you put the power

you produce back in the grid and therefore in your pocket.  

A KW/h in Ontario costs approximately 5.8 for the first

1000 kw/h and then 6.7 cents for every KW/h above that.

However we pay a lot more than that to get that

precious KW/h delivered to our homes, businesses, or farms.

The actual cost of a KW/h to be delivered to your location anywhere in Ontario realistically

and more accurately is 14 cents a KW/h. Once you factor in in the line loss, delivery charge,

debt retirement charge, provincial sales tax and then finally the GST!

That precious KW/h ends up costing you much more than  5.7 - 6.8 cents.

And we still haven't mentioned the fact that every KW/h in Ontario purchased

is also being subsidized by our government which in turn means higher taxes. Great!

Imagine what would happen to the price of a KW/h if and when they stop subsidizing our energy?

Therefore every KW/h YOU produce could be worth anywhere between

14 - 80.2 cents a KW/h depending which program you get involved in.

With Net Metering every KW/h you produce is worth as much as you pay

for it. Therefore you do not end up paying a delivery charge on power you do

not end up using. By entering into a NET METERING agreement with Hydro One

you can stay connected to the grid always consuming the energy you produce first,

then only drawing on the grid when you are not producing the power you require -

and this all happens seamlessly.

Added Benefit:

If you are not using the power you are producing, you can store it on the grid,

and then use it at a later date.  With Net Metering, you can store your power for

up to 12 months. Hydro One will not pay you, however they will allow you to use the grid

to store your excess power so that you may draw from it at a later time. Ie cottage

site storing power all winter on the grid, then using it in the summer months.

With MicroFIT you receive 80.2 cents a KW/h and a separate account along with

a separate meter and a cheque is issued every month by the OPA.

Your regular energy bill will be the same as usual.

Energy costs are going up - again!

Many property owners need to invest in wind and solar if they ever wish

to reduce their energy bills. Whether it be wind or sun property owners should

be able to produce their own energy to help offset escalating energy bills.

A professionally installed system only ADDS value to your business, home or estate.

A renewable energy installation that is professionally designed and installed will operate

and function for 30 + years. If maintained properly even well beyond that.

During that time, it will PRODUCE energy that will either offset your energy bills

or earn you revenue.

It time to start taking renewable energy seriously. 

Think Long Term get PAID for the power

you generate with the microFIT and FIT programs

offered by the OPA.

A solar system will last for 30 + years,

even LONGER if maintained well.

Once you have factored in the added value your own onsite power generation facility

will add to your property, you will soon realize that renewable energy is a sound investment

that has only added cash value and reduced energy bills for your home.

Transferable warranties are available on many products, anyone who purchases

your home within the warranty period can have it transferred over to the new owners so that

they may enjoy it's benefits and protection.

You never lose when you install a renewable energy system in your home or business. 

Your investment stays intact and the wonderful part of course is that your system

will produce electricity for years and years to come.

As a property owner renewable energy is a good investment period.

Times are changing, energy is very expensive, and energy is not going to get any cheaper.

A solar array or wind turbine is an investment that won't take long to pay off

with the MicroFIT and if you factor in all the positives and the 10%-15% ROI it will

add to your home or business bottom line.

If you ever find yourself having to sell your property, rest assured you have an

added selling feature as a 'Green Energy Home', that generates its own income.

Stand out from the crowd! Now your home can have the ability to offset if not completely reduce all its energy costs. The new property owner will appreciate the investment you have made and won't 'see' the installation cost as a separate item. As far as the new owner is concerned

their new renewable energy system will produce energy and generate enough to offset

energy costs the very first day the new owners take possession.
