Atlantic Wind & Solar Inc. is pleased to announce it has completed construction on a 320 KW AC utility scale solar power plant in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
The $2 million commercial rooftop installation, consisting of 1,488 panels, is expected to produce 7,900 megawatt hours of power over the next 20 years supplying Ontario with clean reliable energy. The power will be sold under the province's Feed-In-Tariff program.
