I saw this on the news, and couldn't find a great article to quote, but basically Enmax is currently looking at leasing solar equipment to consumers. According to Global TV the cost would be around $50-80 per month and would go right onto your electricity bill. Any extra power you generate that you don't use would go back onto the grid, and then at night you would draw power back off the grid.
I think this is a great idea. Enmax gets some extra power during the day when demand is high, and customers can do something to reduce their carbon footprint.
Here's the one link I found; where they discuss the demonstration they started yesterday:
"Albertans are looking for simple and affordable ways to reduce their environmental footprint," said Gary Holden, ENMAX Energy President and CEO.
"ENMAX is leading the way in exploring new technologies in energy. These solar arrays represent a collection of the most current and effective technologies coming to market. We are evaluating their performance to identify the best
solar technologies for Alberta to make this new energy-efficient offering an easy choice for our customers and a solution for a more sustainable future."
