NorthGrid Solar Inc. of Vaughan, Ontario announced Friday the construction of a solar photovoltaic system, which will generate electricity under the Ontario Power Authority Feed-in-Tariff program, in western Toronto using its elevated truss system.

The firm said the system, at The Metropolitan Tea Company Ltd. in the former city of Etobicoke, will have a capacity of 701 Kilowatts.

“The project utilizes NorthGrid's unique elevated truss system (ETS) which provides ongoing roof access, opportunity for greater revenue and optimized system performance to the project owner,” NorthGrid stated in a press release. “The ETS system is best suited for industrial, commercial or institutional buildings with a large number of rooftop units that cause shading or rooftops that are unable to support ballasted solar energy systems.”
