Power Your Home.
Cut Your Hydro Bill.
Protect Your Future.
CSA-Approved Solar + Battery Systems Built for Manitoba Homes — Installed by Local Experts Who Know How to Make Them Work Year-Round.
We’re a Manitoba-based solar & battery provider dedicated to helping homeowners cut electricity costs, reduce dependence on the grid, and keep the lights on during outages.
Our mission is simple: make clean energy affordable, reliable, and tailored to Manitoba weather conditions. Whether you want to lower your monthly Hydro bill, reduce strain on the environment, protect your home from blackouts, or gain energy independence, we’re here to help you make it happen — step by step.
Save on Hydro Bills
Manitoba gets more sunlight than most provinces — that means more energy production and better returns on your solar investment. Sell extra summer energy back to the grid to help offset winter costs.
Backup Power Security
Your battery keeps essentials running during outages — and powers your home at night or on cloudy days when the sun isn’t shining.
CSA‑Approved Systems
Our CSA-approved systems are designed to handle snow, ice, and extreme cold — guaranteed to perform all year.
Sell Your Extra Solar Power Back to the Grid
With Manitoba Hydro’s Net Billing Program, your solar panels don’t just save you money — they can earn you credits, too.
When your system produces more energy than your home needs, the excess electricity is sent back into the grid. Manitoba Hydro then credits your account for that power, reducing your bill for the months when your system produces less, like in winter.
How it works:
Generate – Your solar panels produce clean, renewable energy.
Use – Your home consumes what it needs first.
Send Excess – Any extra power flows to the grid.
Get Credits – Manitoba Hydro applies credits to your account at the current rate.
It’s a simple, automatic way to make the most of your solar investment — ensuring no watt goes to waste.
How Solar Panels Turn Sunlight Into Power
Solar panels are made up of many small units called photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells are designed to capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. When sunlight hits the PV cells, it excites electrons inside the cell’s semiconductor material (usually silicon), causing them to move and create an electrical current.
The more sunlight your panels receive, the more electricity they produce. While performance is highest in full sun, panels can still generate power on cloudy days. Each panel is wired together into an array, working as a team to supply energy to your home through the inverter.
In Manitoba, our high number of sunny days makes solar panels especially efficient and reliable year-round.
From DC to AC: The Role of the Inverter
For our Manitoba grid-tied systems, TL Solar Co. uses only hybrid inverters — the best choice for combining solar panels, battery storage, and net metering in one seamless setup.
A hybrid inverter performs two key jobs:
Converts power for your home – It takes the direct current (DC) electricity from your solar panels and battery, and turns it into alternating current (AC) your home can use.
Manages energy flow – It decides in real time whether to send power to your home, store it in your battery, or export it to the grid for credits.
Why Include a 10 kWh Battery with Your Solar System?
Power at Night & Cloudy Days
Stores excess solar energy to run your home when the sun isn’t shining.Backup During Outages
Keeps essential appliances (like your fridge, lights, and Wi-Fi) running even when the grid goes down.Reduce Peak Usage Charges
Discharge power during expensive peak grid hours — and recharge during the day with free solar energy.Extend Your Solar Value
Store energy you’d otherwise sell for pennies and use it when electricity costs are higher.
💡 A 10 kWh battery typically powers a moderate home for 8–12 hours depending on usage.

Gas vs. EV: A Weekly Cost Comparison
Typical Gas SUV (10 L/100 km, $1.60/L fuel)
Driving 300 km/week = ≈ $48 in gas
Tesla Model Y (average 180 Wh/km at 9.587¢/kWh)
Driving 300 km/week = ≈ $5 in electricity
Savings: ~$40+ every week — or over $2,000 per year.
