Roofs wanted! Inside Toronto’s push to supercharge rooftop solar
The article is paywalled but here is the new program they reference:
A new home solar accelerator program, run by The Atmospheric Fund (TAF) and Toronto Hydro, offers a free “solar coach” to help stickhandle the permits and bureaucracy and provide contacts for vetted contractors to do the work.
“Getting solar is complex and confusing,” said Chris Caners, TAF’s director of electrification. “So we’re offering a personalized concierge service that will help homeowners understand the type and size of the system, the different incentives that might be available, and we’ll even go out and solicit quotes.”
“We’re trying to make the system work more smoothly for all players — the homeowner, the utilities and the installers, so we can increase the amount of solar across the GTHA.”
