    Purpose

    The purpose of this book is to bring awareness to people about the extremely misleading information that is being spread by government and energy companies concerning solar energy. We hope that by giving you an insight into what it is like to live with solar energy you can make an informed decision.

    In Ontario, Canada the Feed-In-Tariff programs that are offered are referred to as MicroFit installations. Depending on what country you are in the name may be different, but the programs are similar.

    Figure 1 and Figure 2

    Two typical MicroFit like installations. Whether it is sunny or cloudy, being covered in snow does not make anyone the revenue promised. In Figure 1 you will notice the front set of panels casting a shadow on the second set of panels. Hard to produce power when one panels is blocking the other. Proper installation is essential.

    Introduction

    When we decided several years ago too move to a remote location that did not have any power source nearby, there were only a couple of options available. One of the options was wind turbines, but due to the low wind speed average that our area receives it was not a viable solution. That left us with only solar as our power source. Neither of us had experience with solar energy so we took the initiative to gather as much information as we could, using as many sources as we could find. Unfortunately, most of the sources that we got our information from were more interested in selling us a product then telling us the pros and cons of solar. We found that when companies will benefit financially from selling a product, they sometimes (whether it be intentional or not) mislead the customers into believing impossible claims. Many of the solar energy dealers do not live with solar energy as a means of power. We thought that by sharing our experiences living with solar power it would help you make a more informed and realistic decision. Solar power
