What are the logistical requirements for connecting to the grid?
It is ultimately the homeowner’s responsibility to get permission from Ontario Hydro to connect to the grid. Typically, however, most installers will contact the utilities on behalf of the homeowners – discuss this with your installer. The utilities will then visit the home to set up the connection and a fee will be charged. Finally, the installer is responsible for getting ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) connection authorization upon connection. Specific details about how to connect to the grid will be released with the official release of the FIT in July.
