Go Solar Go Dot Com : Canada, Eh?

by dan — Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Well, just as quickly as Nellis AFB lays claim to the largest solar installation in North America, the government of Ontario Canada announced plans to fund an installation nearly three times the size. Details are sketchy to me, but the system will be built by a Canadian division of Hayward, California based OptiSolar. Who is OptiSolar? Well, that's not entirely clear to me either. They are an OEM but the story aludes to them playing the DOM/PPA field. But they sure do appear to be good at it. Other PPA engagements in the news recently price electricity at a discount - this one, at 42 cents / kWh, tacks on quite a premium. Now, granted, that may be CANADIAN cents, but I'm pretty sure that's a nice take in Californian dollars.
