These renewable energy projects can come from wind, solar, water or bio gas facilities. these projects fall into two categories. FIT and Micro FIT. Depending on how much energy your green project is capable of producing, you will fall into one of these two categories. The energy collected in measured in" Kilo watts per Hour" (Kwh) and this is the bases for determining your category. If your project is capable of generating over 10 Kwh, your have a "Fit" project. Conversely, if your project was rated for less than 10 Kwh, you will have a "MicroFit" Project. Simply put, large projects are FIT, smaller project are Micro FIT.
