Solar + battery installation in Nunavut

Nunavut's electricity price is high enough to change the arithmetic entirely, and its constraints on doing anything about it are the tightest in the country. Qulliq Energy Corporation is the only generator and distributor in the territory, running 25 stand-alone diesel plants in 25 communities with no interconnection and no backup grid. Its net metering programme is genuine 1:1: generation is measured against consumption and the bill is calculated from the net, with excess credits reset on 31 March each year. The residential non-government rate is 74.94 cents per kWh, so every kilowatt-hour you offset carries that value, which is why the arithmetic works here despite the winter. The limits are the difficulty. System capacity must not exceed 15 kW AC, eligibility covers residential customers plus two municipal accounts per hamlet, QEC sets a community limit on total net metered power, and generation on a distribution feeder section cannot exceed 7 percent of that section's annual peak load. Because each community is its own grid, headroom is specific to where you live, and QEC advises customers not to buy a system before their application is approved.
