Eclipsall, an Ontario maker of PV solar panels has announced that the company's PV modules have been selected for use in a project of 30 new microFIT systems in Kapuskasing, Ontario. DBMS Energy Solutions of Kapuskasing in cooperation with Strathcona Solar Initiatives of Napanee, ON are managing and building the project.

The total investment for the project is in excess of $2 million and will create employment and boost the economy in the municipality.
