Solar Rebates For Your Home

Solar Rebates For Your Home

We offer a rebate of $0.50 per direct current (DC) watt installed on homes connected to Manitoba Hydro’s grid, up to a maximum of $5,000 per home. Pre-approval isn’t required before installing the solar PV system.

Rebates are available for system sizes of up to 10 kW per home. Homeowners can install solar PV systems larger than 10 kW; however, the rebate will be capped at 10 kW and $5,000 per home. If the equipment cost of your new solar PV system is less than the calculated rebate amount, your rebate will be capped at the lesser of the two amounts.

Steps to Participate

  1. CHECK TO SEE IF YOU AND YOUR PROJECT ARE ELIGIBLE

    Read the eligibility requirements and the terms and conditions to see if you qualify for a rebate.

    Before installing solar, you should consider if your home is as energy efficient as possible. Improving the energy efficiency of your home can be a cost effective first step that reduces the size of solar PV system required to meet your electricity needs.

  2. CHOOSE A REGISTERED EFFICIENCY MANITOBA CONTRACTOR

    Your contractor must be registered with Efficiency Manitoba. We recommend browsing our list of registered suppliers, getting several quotes, and checking references before making your choice. Be sure to compare the proposed design of each contractor, costs, and post-installation services. If your preferred contractor isn’t a registered Efficiency Manitoba supplier, we can help them join our supplier network. 

  3. APPLY FOR PERMITS & APPROVALS

    Grid-connected solar PV system installations must comply with Manitoba Hydro’s interconnection requirements and be approved by Manitoba Hydro before starting any work. Work with your solar contractor to submit an application and the required documentation to receive interconnection approval from Manitoba Hydro. To learn more about grid-connected solar PV systems in Manitoba, visit Manitoba Hydro’s website. It’s also a good time to obtain any necessary permits to ensure your system complies with any municipal building code requirements.

  4. INSTALL YOUR SOLAR PV SYSTEM

    Once Manitoba Hydro has approved your interconnection application, you and your contractor can proceed with installing your new solar PV system. 

  5. APPLY FOR YOUR REBATE

    Apply for your rebate when your system has passed final inspections, is operational, and is paid in full. Applications must be submitted within 90 days.

  • Your solar PV system is connected to the primary residential energy meter that services your home.
  • Your contractor is registered with Efficiency Manitoba

DOES YOUR PROJECT QUALIFY?
