Since October 2009 these Helen St. Solar Panels have been operational. The amount of power produced since then is 19.4 MWh. Ontario generates and sells power at [the very most] $75 per MWh. That works out to $1500 of power generated in 2 1/2 years. The true figure is closer to $600 of power generated for Ontario Residents at a huge loss in taxpayer monies because of the McGuinty MicroFit payout at 8 times more than the generated power.
