Unfortunately one can only have one MicroFIT system in ones name and I already have one. For reasons based more on principle than financial, I would like to do a second solar array (at a different location) to charge my car from the sun. I now realize it may be financially better to do net metering at a seasonal place.
Just a word of caution that in Ontario, Net metering can only be used to offset your normal consumption down to zero. You won't be paid for any excess generation. You can carry a credit balance on your account month over month, but any credit is wiped out on each anniversary of the net metered account being set up.
Not sure if the microFIT rules allow it, or if it's even possible in your situation, but if you can, it might be better to build on to your existing solar system.
