Solar panels will turn rooftops into power plants

February 1, 2011 - A Toronto company with roots in Germany will oversee the installation of the first major solar installation in urban Ottawa under the province's feed-in tariff program.

The eight sets of rooftop panels will supply a maximum of 2.7 megawatts (2.7 million watts) on a hot summer day -- enough to supply nearly 1,000 homes.

Most of the panels will be on rooftops of Dymon Self-Storage buildings, while some will be on the Duke of Devonshire, a seniors' residence on Carling Avenue owned by Dymon.

The project manager is Ontario Solar Provider Inc. (OSP) of Toronto. OSP chief executive Christian Wentzel says the company has been installing big solar projects for seven years, first in Germany and now in Ontario, where the feed-in tariff pays a premium for power from wind, and a bigger premium for solar power. {continued}
