Cleanfield hopes to launch the SSI in the second half of next year. The company will mainly target sales to residential and commercial customers, for applications below 10 kW of capacity (eligible for the microFIT Program). The parallel operation capability of the SSI will also allow applications above 10 kW (eligible for the FIT program).
Cleanfield and Supan Technologies are collaborating on the development and demonstration of hybrid PV-VAWT systems in Ontario. Supan Technologies conducts PV research and offers PV manufacturing solutions and advisory services. According to Supan's Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Advisor
