When completed the project will generate energy equivalent to the amount used annually by approximately 4,250 households in Toronto.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Revenue generated from the solar panel installation will be used to fund school rooftop repairs and replacements. Over the course of the project, approximately 4.3 million square feet of school roofs will be repaired or replaced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIntegration of growing amounts of on site, rooftop solar power \u2013referred to as distributed generation \u2013 creates tough challenges for utility generation, transmission and distribution systems,\u201d said Dr. Alexandre Pavlovski, President and CEO of Green Power Labs. He added \u201cBased on our existing SolarSatData<sup>TM <\/sup>technology platform for PV generation forecasting at the utility-scale level, we developed a new methodology and technology for high \u201celectrical\u201d resolution forecasting of distributed PV generation at the service transformer level to be integrated into any utility\u2019s distribution management system. Our technology addresses a major visibility issue for our utility clients allowing them to better manage distribution generation for the benefit its ratepayers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ontario\u2019s Feed-In-Tariff program has continues to generate strong interest more than four years after the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) launched North America&#8217;s first comprehensive Feed-In Tariff (FIT) Program. During the most recent FIT 3 application window the OPA received 1,982 applications representing a total of 493.71 megawatts (MW) of generation capacity. Launched in 2009, the OPA now manages 2,608 FIT contracts totalling 4,624 MW &#8211; 878 of them in commercial operation totaling 1,147 MW.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/fit.powerauthority.on.ca\">fit.powerauthority.on.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto\u2019s Solar Schools projects is putting solar panel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4374,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":[],"categories":[51],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenpowerlabs.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4373"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenpowerlabs.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenpowerlabs.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenpowerlabs.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenpowerlabs.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/greenpowerlabs.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4373\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenpowerlabs.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenpowerlabs.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenpowerlabs.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenpowerlabs.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
