How solar changes the math on a Manitoba Hydro bill

At 10.1¢/kWh blended, every kWh you self-generate with solar avoids that cost. A right-sized system for a 900-kWh/month Manitoba Hydro customer saves roughly $900–$1,200/year. Payback lands at 13–17 years, depending on your specific roof and whether you take available provincial rebates.

Net metering treatment: 7.00¢/kWh export credit. Credits typically roll over 12 months and expire — size your system to annual consumption to avoid lost credits.
