The Toledo metro area is recognized nationally as a "seat of solar energy", [63] nicknamed "Solar Valley". The area is home to large solar production facilities, including Willard and Kelsey Solar Group, which will begin production in 2011 on a 280,000-square-foot (26,000 m 2), $250 million facility. [62]
In some countries, additional incentives, or subsidies, are offered for building-integrated photovoltaics in addition to the existing feed-in tariffs for stand-alone solar systems. Since July 2006 France offered the highest incentive for BIPV, equal to an extra premium of EUR 0.25/kWh paid in addition to the 30 Euro cents for PV systems.
