Abstract: . . .  Canada. More significant effort will be required to encourage the development of the grid-connected market sector in Canada. Since CETCVarennes released the study examining the benefits of on-site generation using photovoltaic technologies on buildings in Canada, several new activities have been initiated as part of an action plan that aims to build on Canadian Industry experience base and address some of the market place barriers . . .
. . .  guideline for the interconnection of small power supplies, and support for demonstrations of PV on building in high-visibility sites throughout Canada will contribute to facilitating the market introduction of PV technology for grid-tied applications in the medium to long term.
