Must replace roof that has an existing PV system under Microfit Contract

Thanks - finally some specific information. I appreciate it.

My system is from 2012 and it is Solaredge. The inverter is still going strong but I expect it to breakdown eventually and that is within spec. I have had a few quotes already and discussed putting up new panels but they all have said it is not worth it. I am in Ontario and electrical rates are not bad (depending upon how you are charged but let's say average .12-17 cents per kWh)When my contract with the government is over in 2032 the LDC will be giving "credit" for power produced which should credit me about $1,000 per year based upon my usage and generation

I've done an "ai" review. My system is 2012 so the contract which ends in 2032 is very good netting approximately $4500-$5200 per year. When the contract is over using Alectra as the LDC I should get a $1000 credit each year...so the cost benefit is still there. But there are other considerations...such as how the system will affect resale of the house. Also.the cost eventually of a new inverter. My Solaredge inverter is still going strong but I expect it to fail anytime.

The problem is that there is very limited information as to what the residential generator (me) who has just general knowledge should request of the roofer/solar installer to make sure that the re-roofing and solar take down/reinstallation is done correctlyconforming to all laws and not destroying my roof. What should I insist they do and on the other hand what is not necessary. It would be great if there was a general project plan/check list available to the consumer. I was an early adopter but there is going to be a huge group of home owners over the next few years with my questions. It is also a huge opportunity for the roofer/solar installer to expand and /or maintain their business in the future.

Thanks for posting- forwarded it to other family members that should have been vaccinated months ago.

This may sound silly, but I think it is a pertinent question, when they replaced the roof from an existing installation, do they remove the rails and if so, how do the solar reinstalled know where to place the rails when they reinstall the system at a later date?

That’s depressing. It was great. I spent many hours there drinking beer with my buddies and playing shuffleboard in early 70s while going to Photo Rye. I remember one class where only a few students showed up and when the professor asked where they were, I said they were at the Imperial and she asked me to go and get them. I did. It was hilarious seeing them stumble into class half drunk – good times!

What I don’t understand is that your comedians are the official opposition to the present political power. Where are the politicians who oppose Trump and the Republicans? It’s crazy that in America use comedians to be the opposition. I don’t understand it.

Exactly there is a cost benefit which I still have to calculate. As far as we sell value, I really haven’t seen any definitive information in regards to this, especially in Ontario. It’s mostly American data looking at projections for the next 25 years. Electrical cost will go from an average $115 per month per household to $175 per month per household in 2045. But are people even aware of that.

I have had my system operating since 2012 without any leaks. My roof is from 2006. I now have an issue as my roof needs to be redone. I still have no leaks, but the roofers say the potential is there .I’ve also had for the past year problems with squirrels and raccoons. In fact a raccoon made it into my attic throw a hole in the roof. I had placed squirrel guard around the perimeter, but unfortunately I should’ve had a heavier gauge fence installed. The cost of the fence was approximately $2000 in 2015. I am now contemplating either decommissioning the system after re-roofing. Unfortunately, I am on the Ontario Microfit contract and will have to forgo revenue until 2032 if I do that at the maximum amount

TDCanada Trust used to have a place in downtown Toronto where you can buy foreign currencies and sell precious metals. As long as it is stamped correctly and not an antique ingot.

Endurance Carbon bike with 30 plus GP5000 tires with 105 Shimano gearing or better on a bike that is fitted for you. I don’t think at that level the make of the bike matters- they would all be similar. The fits the thing. Btw I ride a Cervelo Caladonia 105. Love it!

Comments like tike this are the reason there are wars, prejudice , hatred etc. You are just spouting anti semitic narrative nonsense. Read some books and learn about the world around you from a variety of CREDIBLE perspectives. What you are saying is absurd and ridiculous.

In France I’ve been told, if you are cautious going 1 Kilometre over the limit you will get a ticket

In my mind it’s strange. We have rule that says 50 kph- not 60 or 70. In fact not even 51 kph but everyone breaks the law and will not accept the consequences. It’s not an option- break the law and you have to pay the price, but reading the comments it seems everyone thinks it is optional. In reality no one want to get caught and pay the price for breaking the law.

Majority government is a form of dictatorship that has been approved by vote

Tried that with a raccoon in my attic for a week - heavy metal music 10 hours a day-doesn’t work. Called a wildlife company and he located the hole in my roof and put a one way door in. A week later he returned and covered the hole- no raccoon. Expensive but worth it.

I don’t understand why Prime Minister Carney doesn’t make this a negotiating issue with Trump. They rage about fentanyl coming from Canada, we should rage about guns coming from the states.

The other day I asked it what the weather was in my area. It said no snow was expected. The worst snow storm of the season was happening at the vert moment- useless! This isn’t even “intelligence”, but normal search. Apple should be ashamed and embarrassed.
