The launch of a new FIT-compatible with 600 Vac inverters Ontario on the market of Schneider Electric

Rudy Wodrich, commercial Director, Schneider Electric "through our existing Ontario facilities, Schneider Electric was unable to quickly respond to customer demand, the FIT-compliant products this year," said. "In the following months, as we Expand our offering re-engineered inverters with the Canadian market."

Schneider Electric Xantrex ™ GT500 inverter 600 grid tie solar

Xantrex GT500 600 is a grid tie Solar Inverter, highly efficient design (estimated efficiency 96.5% of the CEC), renewed for additional reliability for the enclosure and the two part model, the inverter and the DC component, together with the Government and in the second part of the transformers, and AC. Two sections is designed for easy with ropes in the area and all the necessary equipment. Inverter includes AC and DC systems terminates the connection is cut off, night-time design prevents the current transformer magnetizing losses and to reduce the start is soft district transformer inrush. GT500-600 can be installed indoors or outdoors, and it contains a space heaters, low-temperature applications.  GT500 600 is available in the optional DC combiner boxes and detection settings, there are a number of fuse and tracking options string.

Ontario solar Industry-unfair competition or encouraging local

World Trade Organization (WTO), in the light of the recent meeting, Ontario's Green Energy Act, which contains the fuelling a solar panel production and installation of the entire province (FIT) feed of tariff quotas for the program came under attack.  Increasing energy costs, can also be carried out under the responsibility of the FIT program, which sets the priority of the goods and services are created report Ontario, shall be submitted to the WTO World Energy Council (TTE) (WEC).

Ontario and Canadian solar Markets case

Ontario's solar industry's critics are THE WTO Director-General, Pascal Lamy and John Krenicki, General Electric Vice-Chairman. they submit that the tariff systems and their participation in the local industry heavy preference to stifle competition, energy prices, and ultimately the "green" energy transformation in the world.

Ontario's FIT program related to the domestic content requirements from the province without the need to prevent the branches of insurance enterprises essentially competing against, and the lack of competition drives up solar panels, and to their fitting.  

Ontario's "protectionist" policies are not completely new to North America-Quebec has established its own system of tariff quotas, and approximately 30 American States have passed the regulations require the completion of the add-ins often focus on local production of renewable energy production.

The ongoing Struggle over Canada is a State-of-the-art solar Market

These most recent criticism of Ontario's FIT program will be delivered in the same program against late last summer, the Japanese in the WTO's challenge to the heels.Few expect the Japanese criticism to go a lot, since the challenge on the basis of the laws do not seem to bind to the provinces and municipalities to Governments.

However, the Government of Canada is in the course of negotiations with the European Union, the large and comprehensive trade agreement, and the critical point of Division is coiled in the provincial administration of tariff quotas for certain products in the case of systems., European procurement policies favouring local industry to be scrapped, and the future of the Canadian Sun repair industry is likely to have all the concessions made by Ottawa.

Ontario solar's Defenders

Although the WTO encourages Governments to liberalize their markets on the basis of solar energy, others who defend the tariff systems in General and Ontario in particular, of the FIT program.

These supporters of the local procurement in Ontario's Energy Minister, Brad Duguid, which indicates the last 7 billion dollars agreement forged Samsung Electronics to build four factories producing solar panels and other devices. this agreement, as well as other international companies looking to enter Ontario's solar industry may lead by directly and indirectly even 35,000 green jobs.

Ontario's Green Energy Act, also pointed out that, in support of Duguid FIT policy complies with the provisions of THE WTO, and that only a part of the procurement must be local.

Further job creation and the promotion of the Sun, the horizon of the market conditions, it is unlikely that the Ontario's FIT program to succumb to pressure in the near future.

Abundant Opportunities, such as Ontario moves closer to the green economy

Ontario's manufacturing sector was to contribute to the recently, when the Italian solar photovoltaic manufacturer Silfab SpA, announced that it will create incorporated in Mississauga, Ontario Canada Silfab.  $ 15 Million, 100 000 square foot solar module plants begins with the year 2011, will be created for a period of up to 60 MW of clean energy production.  By 2012 it expands 180 MW.  The body is divided into two distinct regions-second SilFab own solar PV modules and the second Ontario-based solar PV module manufacturers.

This project is related to a litany of other "green" investments in the province, Ontario's growing commitment to fit in a clean and sustainable economy for renewable power source.

  Ontario as a dominant solar Market in 2011

Ontario Solar PV fields Inc. is a joint effort, q-cells SE and the use of automation Systems creates 64 MW project, which represents 10% of the total value of all projects on the ground, in the land of the rising sun in the province. [1] [2] Marc Van Gerven, Q-Cells in North America President and CEO, says that "in the Ontario market is projected to a Sun on the market in North America in 2011."Martin Cecchetto, VP of Corporate Development, ATS considers that, in conjunction with his company and q-cells can "make a widespread acceptance of the reality of the land of the rising sun, and to expand significantly in Ontario in the land of the rising sun expertise and presence in the province."

Employment growth in the land of the rising sun, the Sun and the Sun connection between categories

Fuel, Ontario's Green economy contribute to the expansion of the manufacturing sector, are the provincial government and education infrastructure needed to ensure Ontario's workforce is capable of increasing the green consumer demand for sustainable solutions in meeting. Notes the Director of the Jacob Travis, Canada only accredited Sun training school for ISPQ, Ontario solar system Academy "we all knew that Green Energy Act to improve the province solar industry, but I do not think all of us to understand how quickly the sector expand."He adds "Solar education is only one piece of the puzzle, but without it, not the green jobs, production growth and investment opportunities, which we have seen in recent years."
