The Siqinirsiutik is the perfect technology to power off-grid lighting, small fridges or freezers, telecom devices, CPAPs, remote Internet equipment, recharge batteries and more. Various daily cabin use examples are presented on here.
One Siqinirsiutik is worth $8,046 which includes manufacturing, distribution, marketing and shipping. Thanks to subsidies, Tarquti is able to sell one Siqinirsiutik at $1,546 plus taxes to JBNQA beneficiaries. With the support of Makivvik, Tarquti secured financial support from the Kativik Regional Government’s Hunter Support Program and the Federal Government’s Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada’s Northern REACHE Program and Indigenous Service Canada’s Quebec Green Initiative.
JBNQA beneficiaries are able to purchase the Siqinirsiutik online in our boutique. If you want to buy a solar panel kit for your company or organization, visit Corporate Use Page page and fill out the form online form to determine the proper kit configuration according to your needs.
After your order has been approved, your Siqinirsiutik will be ready for pick-up from Tarquti’s Local Representative in your community. You will be contacted by our Local Representative to schedule a pick-up time and to confirm the individual that will pick-up the products. During the pick-up process, you will be asked to sign the packing slip associated with the invoice number to confirm delivery.

The Siqinirsiutik is designed to accommodate an MPPT controller and two additional solar panels for a total of 1600Wp. Contact siqinirsiutik@tarquti.ca for more information.
No, the Siqinirsiutik is not made to connect to a microwind turbine because it is a plug-and-play system designed for easy installation. Contact siqinirsiutik@tarquti.ca for more information.
The Siqinirsiutik is warranted by Tarquti for a period of twelve (12) months as of the date of delivery in your community, following which manufacturer warranties may apply. These warranties are subject to the products being handled in conformity with the documentation and other specifications relating to their operation and use.
Should you require any assistance or have any questions regarding warranty, please contact us at siqinirsiutik@tarquti.ca.
The Siqinirsiutik is easy to install with basic handyman experience. You may of course reach out to a professional, or someone with more experience, to install your kit. Tarquti, however, does not provide such services.
Should you require any assistance or have any questions regarding installation, you can contact us at siqinirsiutik@tarquti.ca.
If you wish to cancel an order, you may request a cancellation at any time prior to picking up your order by contacting us at siqinirsiutik@tarquti.ca. In such event, we will refund the full amount within fifteen (15) days of processing your request for cancellation. No returns or exchanges will be accepted following pick-up of your order.
Certain care has to be taken, but the system can be used and left installed throughout the winter. When leaving your cabin, the batteries should ideally be fully charged. If you do not plan on being back to your cabin in the near future, the inverter can be disabled. If it will be a long time before you’re back, the system can be shut down completely. Tarquti recommends that clients remove the snow from the panels for optimal performance in winter.
In order to “winterize” or “shut down the system”, refer to the User Manual section 4.7.6 to understand the steps to optimize your equipment.
Tarquti’s ability to sell Siqinirsiutik at such a reduced rate depends on subsidies. To ensure a fair and equitable share to all communities, Tarquti distributes a limited number of products to each community and sells them on a first-come first-serve basis. To be the first to know about the restock, subscribe to our newsletter.
Tarquti recommends that you install your Siqinirsiutik within six (6) months following delivery for optimal battery lifespan. If you plan to install it later, it is recommended that you store the batteries in a warm environment.
All JBNQA beneficiaries from all 14 communities of Nunavik can buy the Siqinirsiutik as of August 22, 2024 at noon. Distribution will start at the end of August for all communities of Nunavik, except Salluit, Inukjuak, Puvirnituq, Kangiqsujuaq. These 4 communities (as well as a 2nd shipping for Kuujjuaq) will receive their products on the last sealift, although transactions are accepted as of August 22st, 2024 for those who wants to reserve the Siqinirsiutik.
Tarquti’s ability to sell Siqinirsiutik at such a reduced rate depends on subsidies. These subsidies vary from year to year, but Tarquti is working hard to have more Siqinirsiutik products available to JBNQA beneficiaries in the coming years.
Before you start assembling your Siqinirsiutik, make sure to read the Installation Manual and to watch the animated video. The safety instructions are important and do not cover all safety measures.
The Siqinirsiutik is a unique product created, tested, and approved for Arctic conditions. If you have questions or concerns regarding this plug-and-play solar panel kit, reach out to us and we will be happy to help you.
