OZZ and Potentia will design, finance and construct rooftop solar generation facilities in the 50-500 kW range on more than 200 rooftops across the province, with roughly one-third in the Ottawa region and the balance largely in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

The solar installations will be placed on commercial, industrial and institutional buildings, including schools, and are expected to be completed over the next two years. The project could create approximately 750 skilled manufacturing, engineering, construction and maintenance jobs, and result in approximately CA$150 million of new investment.
