The following are links to web pages that log real time performance of solar PV systems.
Though there are two important solar PV systems operating in the city of Toronto, a city of 5 million people, only one is reporting its performance. Data on the other is not available.
Despite repeated requests, Toronto Hydro, which installed a 36 kW PV system to much fanfare in 2004, has not made any data available on the system’s performance–certainly none on line.
