TORONTO, Nov. 20 /CNW/ - A program that will provide businesses with up
to $80,000 to install solar heating systems is the latest tool Ontario is
using to become North America's leader in solar power.

Ontario is rapidly increasing its use of solar energy, with over 100
contracts signed for potential solar energy projects across the province
ranging in size from residential systems to large-scale solar farms capable of
powering thousands of homes.

Now Ontario's businesses, industries and institutions have another
incentive to get in on the action.

The Ontario Solar Thermal Heating Incentive matches rebates provided by
the federal ecoENERGY for Renewable Heat program. Each program provides up to
25 per cent of the cost of purchasing and installing a solar hot water or
solar air heating system, to a maximum of $80,000.

1. It's inexcusable for

the U S, with all the southern states, isn't leading the world in renueable energy research. Once again, fossil fuel investors win.

2. About the same latitude as Toledo or Auburn Hills/Detroit ...

both centers of solar innovation.
