Ottawa may not be the most efficient place in the world to install solar panels, but locals trying to get off the grid may want to attend one of the solar energy information sessions recently mentioned on Apt613.
This is your chance to personally benefit from the feed-in tariffs in the Ontario Green Energy Act. That said, unless your house is already very efficiently insulated, making those improvements will probably do more for the climate per dollar invested than putting some solar panels up.
