That's bullshit.
For starters, in Ontario, I am not allowed to directly consume electricity generated by solar panels. I would have to sell it back into the grid.
Plus the unsubsidized cost of installing a solar roof is prohibitive and will not result in any savings over the life of the product.
Then there are performance issues. The doesn't always shine.
The whole FIT program in Ontario is one of the worst government boondoggles in the history of humanity. It is nothing but a huge subsidy program for the guilty feeling sheeple who believe all of the doom-and-gloom warm-monger and green bullshit.
In the end I would still be heating my house with natural gas so what the hell is the point?
