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.

Accurately estimating the production of your solar PV system is an important step in anticipating both your monthly energy bills and your payback period.
Installing a solar PV system is a big initial investment, so it’s important to understand your payback period, how to calculate your payback period, and how grid-tied systems can sell excess energy back to Manitoba Hydro.
More and more Manitobans are interested in using solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to power their homes and businesses. And it’s no wonder why! When it comes to renewable energy sources, the sun is high on the list.
Deciding if a solar photovoltaic (PV) system is right for you takes a trained eye. In this article, we’ll introduce you to some important things to consider before installing a solar PV system.
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.
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.
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.
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.
