Questions & Answers
SunGarden – An overview
What is the microFIT Program?
Is the system easy to maintain?
If you are a homeowner, farmer or small business
owner, you have the opportunity to develop a
small or “micro” renewable electricity generation
project (10 kilowatts or less in size) on your
property. Under the microFIT Program, you will
be paid a guaranteed price for all the electricity
your project produces for at least 20 years.
Yes, the SunGarden system is extremely easy
to maintain with virtually no maintenance costs.
Our systems have been tested and proven to
work for 20+ years with little degradation in
overall power output.
With best-in-class distributors, a Canadian Solar
Solutions’ SunGarden system includes everything
you need to take advantage of the microFIT Program.
From assessment and installation to financing and
ongoing maintenance, a SunGarden solution makes
setting up a home-based solar power generating
system easy, affordable and rewarding.
How do I sign up for the program?
Signing up for the microFIT Program is simple.
Apply online with minimal paperwork – and
there’s no application fee.
Are the rates guaranteed?
Yes, you are guaranteed a premium rate of
80.2¢ for each kilowatt-hour (kWh) that your
SunGarden system produces for the next 20 years.
As a reference, the average rate per kWh an Ontario
homeowner pays for electricity consumed is
approximately 7¢. With a SunGarden, you will
be paid approximately10 times more.
How does the SunGarden work?
The sun’s rays produce electricity when they are
absorbed by solar panels. This electricity is fed to
your inverter, which turns it from direct current (DC)
electricity to alternating current (AC) electricity and
then feeds it into the electricity grid where you make
80.2¢/kWh. Visit sungarden.ca to view a real-time
monitoring system.
Is the system invasive?
Not at all. Besides having panels on your rooftop
and an inverter somewhere like your basement,
the entire system is virtually invisible to daily living.
Is the system guaranteed?
A Kilowatt Hour?
Now there’s a simple way to make a positive
difference in our quality of life.
}
Yes, the system comes with a comprehensive
warranty on every major component.
How much does a system cost?
System and installation options vary widely; therefore,
we cannot provide an exact figure. However, our
friendly distributors can get you a hassle-free quote
for a complete SunGarden system onto your home
along with an analysis of what kind of return on your
investment you can expect over the next twenty years.
Why do customers choose SunGarden
by Canadian Solar Solutions?
Along with our financial strength, world-renowned
technical expertise and commitment to sustainable
business practices, we provide an uncompromising
commitment to quality,
durability and
performance.

options, system configurations and installation costs,
we cannot provide a definitive cost per system.

A killowatt hour is simply a measure of energy used over a
period of time (in this case, one hour). For example using
a 60 watt light bulb for one hour consumes 0.06 kilowatt
hours of electricity. A heater, rated at 1000 watts (1 kilowatt),
operating for one hour uses one kilowatt hour.
With a SunGarden solution, you can increase
your income and your home’s net worth, while
doing something good for the environment.
