You Can Create Income Through The Microfit Program Ontario

By Adriana Noton


Energy sources are among the most lucrative on the planet, but the future of what we think of as our standard sources today are bleak. This is because they will eventually run out and the reticence to embrace alternative energies is tied more into economic issues than anything else. The nation of Canada has always lived comfortably with its fertile natural environment and this comfort can be seen in cities like Vancouver and provinces like Ontario. This latter area has taken the reigns on changing its relationship with energy through the Microfit program Ontario.

These sources of energy include more than just solar power with options in wind, biomass, bio-gas, and landfill mass. Not all of these options are appropriate or even feasible for residencies, but their increased integration into the community will provide what will be used as energy in the future.

This initiative works in conjunction with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) in a contract by contract basis with individuals, businesses, and principalities that are eligible to be part of the program. The different energy sources that are available for those involved include solar, wind, biomass, bio-gas, and landfill mass.

The OPA connection is the crux of this program because participants are paid for their membership. Going back to different energy sources, the biomass, bio-gas, and landfill options all utilize organic materials. Whether hydrogen, oxygen, or carbon based, they are harvested from landfill mass, wood, or garbage. Being able to work through garbage increases the greenness of this technology and can be a great option for larger companies.

The effects of these conversions are heat or electricity and can, depending on the ultimate use, be converted directly into a liquid that can be used as fuel. This is the manufacturing behind what we know as biodiesel fuels. Mechanics aside, all of the electricity that is generated by all the different sources are paid for by the OPA.

Yes, each kilowatt of power, no matter if you use it or it is consumed by others will net you a small income. This income is not free and you'll have to claim it on your taxes. Also, the installation of these technologies are not subsidized, but they can lead to deductions over several years.

Of course, getting involved in this program isn't completely free because, while they pay for what you produce, you must shoulder the costs of getting started. The prices vary, but you may be eligible for a number of deductions across several years. Also, regarding the income that you will generate by being a part of this program, you are not exempt from income tax and must indeed claim it.

The details of getting involved in the microFIT program Ontario are open to a variety of candidates and are easily researched. Weighing the costs versus the benefits if you're eligible is something that many program workers can talk you through. This is because there are different things that should be weighed whether it is a small or large scale project. Also, it's important to remember that just making income is only part of this initiative that is aimed at putting Canada into the future.
