We Pride Ourselves on Our Dedication to Quality Solar Services.
Solar installation Winnipeg continues to grow in popularity as homeowners look for ways to lower utility bills and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The team at MAG Solar supported Wilson N. in making a smart investment in a high-performing solar energy system designed to withstand Winnipeg’s climate and deliver long-term value.
Wilson N. wanted to install solar panels to reduce his monthly utility bills and increase his home’s energy efficiency. He was concerned about future energy price increases and wanted to make a meaningful switch from fossil fuels to a renewable energy source.
For Gregor M., this wasn’t about chasing trends but a calculated decision rooted in long-term value and environmental responsibility. His 9.43 kW system is now helping reduce household reliance on grid systems, lower carbon output, and generate clean energy without changing how his home functions.
Vladan’s experience shows how practical and rewarding solar installation in Winnipeg can be, even in challenging weather conditions. With the right solar energy contractor, available rebates, and a tailored system design, switching to solar becomes a smooth and worthwhile investment.
Choosing to invest in energy solutions was part of his plan to reduce household costs and make a cleaner environmental impact. His priority was a solar system that could operate efficiently during Winnipeg’s variable weather and maximize solar energy production year-round.
Assessment & System Design
Our installers approached this project with a goal to deliver lasting energy solutions built for Winnipeg’s climate. Every technical decision—from layout to equipment—was based on performance, return on investment, and future adaptability. Our careful planning ensures the system remains efficient and reliable for years to come.
To maximize clean energy production, we used a SolarEdge inverter with power optimizers. This setup enables each panel to operate independently to reduce performance losses caused by shading or dirt on individual modules. SolarEdge enables real-time performance monitoring.
The system was designed as a grid-tied solar solution to allow excess solar energy to be fed back into the local grid. Through Manitoba’s net metering program, Wilson earns credits for that excess energy, which he uses later during low sunlight periods. This further increases the value of his solar investment.
MAG Solar managed all permitting and documentation needed for interconnection with the utility provider. We also guided Wilson through the solar rebate program offered by Efficiency Manitoba. He secured a $5,000 rebate that reduced his upfront investment.
Winnipeg’s sun hours vary widely throughout the year. We began with a full solar assessment, measuring available roof space, sunlight exposure, tilt angle, and shading. We designed a 9.43 kW layout with an optimized roof angle and direction to boost solar energy.
We used 23 monocrystalline panels, each rated at 410W. These high-quality solar panels perform well even in lower temperatures and partial sunlight—both common in Winnipeg. Gregor’s system will keep producing clean energy even on shorter, colder days.
Each panel was connected to a SolarEdge optimizer. This helps isolate the performance of each panel so that shade or debris on one doesn’t lower output across the array. These optimizers allow real-time monitoring to make it easier to recognize and fix performance issues.
A SolarEdge inverter manages all power conversion. SolarEdge was selected not just for efficiency but because it allows future upgrades such as solar batteries and charge controllers. The system is pre-wired to accept future storage add-ons without needing a full overhaul.
This Winnipeg solar panel installation ties directly into the local grid through Manitoba’s net metering program. Excess energy is returned and credited, so Gregor can “store” power and use those credits in winter.
Our solar system company supported Gregor through the application process for Efficiency Manitoba’s $5,000 rebate and the federal financing options. This reduced the total upfront cost and allowed him to start with solar technology.
Our one-day residential installation for Wilson was executed with precision and speed. The system was activated and tied into the local utility grid without issue. This solar system installation focused on long-term performance, low maintenance, and seamless user experience.
Our goal was to deliver energy savings, system reliability, and day-to-day convenience for the homeowner. Our process included:
"I’m impressed with the service. The MAG Solar team made installing solar power easy and stress-free."

Efficiency Manitoba offers a residential solar rebate of $0.50 per watt (DC) installed, up to a maximum of $5,000 per home. Your home must be connected to the Manitoba Hydro grid, and the system size must not exceed 10 kW. This program reduces the upfront cost of installing solar power and supports homeowners in switching to renewable energy.
A 12.3 kW solar power system is enough to power a standard home, though actual performance depends on your energy use and location. In sunny areas like Winnipeg, it can cover most or even all of a home’s yearly electricity needs. Efficiency improves even more with energy-saving appliances and access to net metering for excess energy.
Net metering isn’t mandatory, but it’s a smart option for many homeowners. It allows you to transmit excess solar energy back to the grid in exchange for credits on your electricity bill. These credits can offset future energy use to reduce or eliminate your utility costs throughout the year.
A 7.5 kW solar system can meet the energy needs of most average-sized homes, even in areas with limited sunlight. In sunnier locations, it can support larger homes or higher electricity usage. When paired with battery storage, it offers near-continuous power for daily household demands.
A standard 7kW solar system needs approximately 30–40m² of roof space. The number of panels depends on their wattage. For example, you might need 20 panels at 350W each or 18 panels at 390W each. Panel efficiency and roof layout can also affect the final count.
To estimate the system size, divide your annual energy use (in kWh) by 365 to find daily usage. Then, divide that by your area’s average daily peak sun hours. Finally, adjust for system efficiency by dividing again using a derate factor (normally around 0.75–0.85).
Grid-tied systems let homes and commercial enterprises connect to the local utility to reduce electricity bills and increase reliability. Unlike off-grid setups, these systems don’t require battery storage, which makes them cost-effective for business owners seeking energy savings.
