Solar cost calculator
Size a solar system for your property and see an itemised, preliminary cost range. Takes about three minutes. Nothing is sent unless you ask for a quote.
What type of property are you installing solar for?
This decides which questions we ask next.
What type of solar system are you interested in?
Pick the closest match. You can change it later.
How much electricity do you use?
Your Manitoba Hydro bill is the easiest place to find this. If you don’t know, choose “Not sure”.
Shown as “kWh used” on your bill. A yearly total divided by 12 is best.
Tell us about the site
These details refine the estimate. Skip anything you’re unsure of: a site visit confirms them.
Used to plan the visit. It doesn’t tell us anything about your roof.
1 m² is about 10.8 sq ft. Count the sunniest face only.
Configure your system
We’ve suggested a size from your answers. Keep it, or set your own.
Under net billing, power you export earns less than power you use, so 100% is not always the best value. No grid-tied system makes you fully independent.
Leave blank to calculate from the system size.
Battery storage
The right size depends on what you run, your inverter and how long you need backup. This gives a starting point.
Essentials usually means furnace fan, fridge and freezer, well pump, lights and internet.
Anything else the job might need?
All optional. Items marked “Needs assessment” can’t be priced without a site visit, so they widen the upper end of the range instead.

Actual system sizing, equipment selection and installation costs may vary depending on site conditions, roof characteristics, electrical infrastructure, equipment availability and other project-specific factors. A final quotation requires assessment and confirmation by Grid Energy.
