Questions Canadians actually ask
Is it legal to install my own solar system in Manitoba?
It depends where you live — and we tell you straight. Truly portable, plug-connected gear needs no permits. Anything permanently wired to a building needs an electrical permit. As the owner of your own home you can pull a homeowner electrical permit through Manitoba Hydro (the City of Winnipeg issues its own) and legally do the work yourself, passing inspection. Grid-tie work must be done by a licensed electrician and interconnected through Manitoba Hydro. One call to Manitoba Hydro settles it — we include a checklist with every kit.
Will solar actually work in a Manitoba winter?
Yes — Manitoba is one of the sunniest provinces (Winnipeg and Brandon average well over 4 peak sun hours a day across the year), and panels produce more per watt in the cold. Winter days are shorter, which is why our off-grid kits include real battery capacity and our estimates use honest year-round averages, not summer peaks.
Do your kits really include everything?
If it needs a wire, the wire is in the box: panels, charge controller or inverter, battery where listed, racking, MC4 connectors, fuses, disconnects and a plain-language install guide. No surprise parts runs to town.
Do you ship across Manitoba?
Yes. Palletized freight across Manitoba is about $349 — Winnipeg, Brandon and rural MB included. Exact freight is confirmed with you before anything is charged, and pickup in Calgary is free if you're passing through.
