Grid-Tie Systems
Homeowners across Canada are increasingly installing solar electric modules to reduce their carbon footprint while enjoying long-term savings on energy costs. In Winnipeg, Manitoba. which averages 315 sunny days per year, rooftop solar systems can produce 20%–50% of a home’s annual power needs, making it an ideal location for clean energy adoption. By moving away from fossil fuels, homeowners contribute to a sustainable future while benefiting from modern financing options, including interest free loans. Each system is designed according to the home’s installed watt capacity and often includes a battery bank to store excess energy, ensuring reliable power even when the sun isn’t shining.

We provide you with a mobile app to track your power production 24 hours/day 7 days/week. Not only that, we will monitor your panels production as well, and if anything isn’t performing properly we’ll schedule a time to come over and get things working how they should be.
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 until recently, the technology wasn’t efficient enough to generate a meaningful payoff in northern locations. Over the last five years, however, clean energy solutions have become more efficient and affordable, reducing electricity bills and allowing homeowners to store excess energy for later use. Programs offered through Efficiency Manitoba also help make solar installations more accessible, making rooftop solar a viable and economical option for Winnipeg residents’ renewable energy needs.
WINNIPEG SOLAR Incentives in Winnipeg
Even though installing solar power can save you money over time, the upfront costs of purchasing and setting up your system may feel daunting. 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 harness solar cells for cleaner energy. Choosing the most solar panels suited to your property ensures you can meet your household or business energy usage efficiently.
While grant programs are subject to change and may be time-sensitive, here are several that can currently help you fund your solar installation. We’ve broken them down into federal and provincial programs and differentiated the incentives available for residential versus commercial projects.
