Grid-Tie Systems

Homeowners across Canada are adding solar electric modules to their roofs in order to reduce their environmental footprint and save money on their utility bills. Winnipeg gets on average 315 sunny days/year, and is the best place in Canada to implement solar energy solutions. Many homes produce 20% – 50% of their annual power needs through rooftop solar systems. This is a green alternative even to hydro-electric which (although cleaner than coal) is devastating to many ecosystems. Solar electric prices have fallen significantly over the last five years, making this an economically viable solution for homeowners in Winnipeg Manitoba.

Let Powertec Solar Plan, Finance, and Install your Solar Panels

With over 315 sunny days a year, Winnipeg is a perfect city for solar power. Residential and commercial roof solar panels have been popular in southern states for over a decade, but up until recently the technology wasn’t available to create solar panels that were efficient enough to produce a payoff in northern locations. Over the last 5 years however, solar panels have become more efficient and have decreased in price by over 80% making them a viable and economical solution for Winnipeg residents renewable energy needs.

WINNIPEG SOLAR Incentives in Winnipeg

Even though solar panels save you money in the long run, it can be difficult to afford the upfront costs of purchasing and installing your system. Financial grants can make solar more accessible to Manitobans.

Incentives from the federal and provincial governments help open doors, allowing home and business owners to switch to solar power.

While grant programs are subject to change and can be time-sensitive, here are a few that can currently help you fund your solar installation. We’ve broken them down into federal and provincial programs as well as differentiated between the incentives available for residential vs. commercial projects:

Provincial Programs

Manitoba Solar Rebate Program (Residential)

Established in April 2022, the Manitoba Solar Rebate Program through Efficiency Manitoba offers rebates to Manitoba homeowners who install grid-tied solar systems to a maximum size of 10kW and $5,000 per home.
Homeowners must apply for this rebate within 90 days after the completion and inspection of a solar system.
To find out more about this rebate program or to apply, visit the Efficiency Manitoba website.

Manitoba Hydro’s Buy Back Program

Manitoba Hydro offers a net billing program. This means that, with a grid-tied solar system, you can sell excess electricity back to the grid and receive credit for it at a fixed rate.
A solar system that generates exactly the amount of electricity you use will provide the fastest return on your investment. Excess electricity from an oversized system can always be sold back to the grid, but not necessarily at an efficient rate of return. Powertec Solar can help you size your system properly for the fastest returns.
Both residential and commercial solar systems can be grid-tied with a bi-directional meter.
