| When completed ( expected 3Q 2010 ) this site will be one of Canada's largest solar arrays , and will be one of the first major solar arrays to provide power to Ontario's Electrical Grid through the Ontario Power Authority's FIT Program. | |
| This site will feature the extremely efficient Hybridyne Power Electronics Hyperwatt 250XL Inverters, which will deliver up to 30% extra electricity from the PV panels. | |
| Visually, Site A will resemble this completed Solar Array , except that the Town of Clarington has requested that the installation be surrounded by a screen of trees between the array and the surrounding houses. The PV modules will be solidly mounted on ground-based steel frames, pointed South, and placed at the optimum angle to capture sunlight and contribute to the highest possible annual yield.
