MicroFIT - 20 Years of Income from Your Solar Power System
MicroFIT is a program open to Ontario residents to receive payments for solar electricity generated on their properties and delivered to the utility. The Ontario Power Authority will pay 80.2¢ per kilowatt hour delivered for roof mounted systems and 64.3¢ for ground mounted solar arrays.
Why Invest in a MicroFIT System?
On a roof with good solar exposure, an HES MicroFIT system can generate over $900 per year for each kilowatt of solar you install. For example, an HES-GT-10.1 will deliver more than $9,000 per year, and over $180,000 over the life of the MicroFIT contract. Solar is so dependable, it’s like a 20 year GIC, but on your very own roof. And its green energy, replacing coal fired electricity in Ontario.

The MicroFIT and FIT Programs:
The Ontario Power Authority’s MicroFIT (<10kW) and FIT (>10kW) Programs offer to buy the electricity generated from qualifying solar systems. Suncatcher Solar will help you qualify for a 20 year OPA contract. You can earn 80.2 ₵/kWh for roof mounted systems, and 64.3₵/kWh for ground mounted systems. Our top quality systems will last for 25 years or more. |
What Grid-Tie Kit is right for you?
We have a selection of systems to fit all MicroFIT applications. For smaller roofs, or sites where the solar system is installed on different roof facets, we recommend the MicroBlox systems – where any number of individual blocks of 460W are added together. We have set systems of 2.3 and 5.7kW, ideal for most homes . Our featured 10kW systems include the roof mounted HES-GT-10.1 and solar tracker systems of 5.7 and 11.4kW.
MicroBLOX
The modular approach to MicroFIT. Each 460w MicroBLOX is an independent grid-tie system. Start with one, or install 20 – build a system that’s just right for you. Plug and play, using Sharp Solar Modules. Fit your roof and budget - exactly!
