1200 'Green Jobs' announced in Kingston


Four entrepreneurs from Toronto announced an ambitious plan recently to build a $500-million solar module manufacturing facility in Kingston, an investment expected to create 1,200 direct and indirect "green-collar" jobs in the area.

Everbrite Solar, a division of Toronto-based Everbrite Industries Ltd., said the plant would be capable of producing 150 megawatts of solar modules every year, roughly enough to supply power to 20,000 homes annually.

This recent announcement printed in the Toronto Star comes as welcome news for supporters of Green Energy in Ontario. This could indicate a new vote of confidence in the future economic gains proposed in Ontario.

With recent advancements in PV systems, solar energy could become a viable source of income to Ontario residents. Reductions in families energy bills could be just the beginning. Could it be feasible to turn a profit at a residential level?
