Incentive schemes change, and one may apply here by the time you install. Electricity prices shown here are set at the country level. Incentive amounts, when present, use each scheme's national or regional scope as noted above, except where an incentive's value is itself calculated from Kenora's local solar zone; only the production and payback figures are calculated specifically for Kenora's coordinates.
