Monika Caemmerer is very excited to report that her 9.5 kW photovoltaic installation has topped 10,000 kilowatt-hours of production.

The system was installed by Sun Volts Unlimited in December 2008 and became operational on February 5, 2009. It hit the 10,000 mark on October 13, 2009. The system pays $.42/kWhr under the RESOP program. Monika is especially excited to learn that, because she was an early adopter, her system will be automatically upgraded to the new MicroFIT program, which will pay her $.802/kWhr, thus almost doubling her income.

Monika attended our first Solar Fair in October 2008 and decided right there to install a PV system. Her installation was the first for the Halton Residential Solar Project.

The system is installed on a portion of her barn. Monika is planning on adding to the system and registering the additional panels under the new Feed-in Tariff program.

Monika is a great ambassador for solar energy and has welcomed visitors to view her system at each of our Solar Tours and spoken at our Solar Fairs. Monika's system will again be on display at our Solar Tour on Sunday, November 1, 2009. To sign up, please email [email protected].
