Solar Energy - An Investment that Pays
The HES-GT-10.3 has everything you need to participate in Ontario’s MicroFIT Feed-In Tariff program. The system is designed for maximum power delivery at the $0.80/kWh rate with a Nameplate Rated Capacity of 10kW. Ideal for large homes, farms or businesses, this system offers an annual income stream of up to $10,000 or more from your roof or land under a 20 year contract from the Ontario Power Authority.
FEATURES
Brand names you can trust: The HES-GT-10.3 solar systems feature high efficiency Sharp Solar modules – a reliable brand name you can trust to deliver rated power for decades. Sharp Solar panels include a 25 year warranty. This system uses high efficiency mono crystalline panels for more power/area, and feature the strongest frames in the industry.
High efficiency inverters: Xantrex, Fronius or SET inverters. These have a digital displays showing power production by day, month or since installation. All feature 10 year warranties. All wiring components and safety equipment are of the highest standards and approved to CSA standards.
Engineered for Ontario: Home Energy has 25 years of experience in designing solar system that work in Canada. We understand snow loads, cold winter temperatures and high summer temperatures. Our systems are build to last, perform and to be fully conforming to Canadian Electrical Code.
MicroFIT Qualified: Home Energy systems fully meet the OPA requirements to qualify for a MicroFIT contract. With fully code approved components, Provincial Content of 46%, and full documentation packages for the MicroFIT application, LDC application and ESA inspection, the systems offer fast approval for your contract.
What the HES-GT-10.3 Comes With:
- Sharp Solar Array rated at 10,300W
- Inverter system rated at 10kW
- Rooftop wiring including array extension cables, combiner boxes (2) and 600VDC fuses
- Full documentation
Power House Mounting Options (made in Ontario):
Sloped Roof Racking Systems with self-sealing roof brackets
For sheet metal or shingle roofs, slope >3/12.
2 Tiered Ground Mounting Racks
Need 2 parallel beams 6’ apart x 72’ long
Pole Mounts
Need 4 x 6” poles with footings, approximately 8 feet above ground.
Ballasted Flat Roof Mounts for tar/gravel roofs
Approx 3000 sq feet of roof needed
Standing Seam Metal Roof mounting kits
S5 clamps and Powerhouse Rails
How Much Space Do I Need for the HES-GT-10.3?
If you have an unshaded south facing roof of 800 square feet or more (ie. a garage or barn), or a clear piece of land 10’ x 72’ in size, you have room for the HES-GT-10.3. The system can also be split into 2 pieces. South east or southwest facing roofs are also ideal – there is only a small difference in annual output from due south.
What Revenue Can I Expect from the HES-GT-10.3?
Canada’s Retscreen program (see www.retscreen.net) predicts that a 10.3kW solar system should deliver over 12,800 kWh of energy delivered per year in Toronto, and over 14,400 kWh in Thunder Bay. This will vary with solar insolation, panel tilt angle, temperature and local shading effects from trees, snow and dirt.
Sample Cash Flows for an HES-GT-10.3 in Toronto: A MicroFIT Solar System from HES will earn their owners a cheque from the local utility monthly or bi-monthly according to the billing schedule. Each system has a meter that reports the production in the same way the hydro meter records consumption. As the system output varies with season, cheques for summer production will be greater than winter production.
