By many measures, the GRU FIT program was very successful. According to GRU staff, it has resulted in over 18MW of solar being installed with over $60 million in capital investments. Solar systems were installed on homes, businesses, schools, libraries, and the local airport. Several million dollars of local construction jobs were created, which was very important during the heart of the recession. Over 93% of the solar in Gainesville was developed under the FIT program.
