Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Business	XZERES Corp. (“XZERES” and the “Company”) is located in Wilsonville, Oregon and was originally incorporated in the state of New Mexico in January of 1984. The Company was engaged in the natural gas and asphalt businesses until 2007, at which time it liquidated its assets and operations and distributed the net proceeds to its shareholders after paying its debts. On October 2, 2008, the Company re-domiciled from New Mexico to Nevada in anticipation of pursuing the wind turbine business. The Company commenced operations in the wind turbine business in the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2010. The Company formed two subsidiaries during the year ended February 28, 2011. XZERES Energy Services Corp. was incorporated in Nevada in January, 2011 and XZERES Wind Europe Limited was formed in Ireland in October, 2010. The Company formed two additional subsidiaries during the year ended February 28, 2014. XZERES Capital Corp. was incorporated in Nevada in January, 2014 and XZERES Wind Japan Limited was formed in Japan in October, 2013. The Company is in the business of designing, developing, and marketing small wind turbine systems and related equipment for electrical power generation, specifically for use in residential, small business, rural electric utility systems, other rural locations, and other infrastructure applications. The Company employs proprietary technology, including power electronics, alternator design, and blade design to increase performance, reliability, and sound suppression. The Company also works with manufacturers of inverters, lightning protection equipment and towers to integrate their equipment into the Company’s products.
Principles of Consolidation	The financial statements reflect the consolidated results of XZERES Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries XZERES Energy Services Corp. (a Nevada corporation), XZERES Wind Europe Limited (formed in Ireland), XZERES Capital Corp. (a Nevada corporation), and XZERES Wind Japan Limited (formed in Japan). All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC as of and for the period ended February 28, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order for the financial statements to be not misleading have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
Accounting Basis	The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a February 28 fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, inventories, inventory deposits, deferred financing costs, prepaid expenses, notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits, taxes payable and warranty reserve. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operation, financial position or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition	The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped from the factory and collection is reasonably assured. XZERES sells wind turbines and power efficiency products to dealers and end users directly. Dealers are required to sign an agreement with XZERES that requires the dealer to sell one unit the first year and three units per year, thereafter. Dealers receive dealer pricing, a discount to the suggested retail price of the product. Products sold directly to end users are sold at the retail price. To date, the Company has not offered any other price concessions to its dealers, and has no post shipment obligations other than the warranty it provides.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	XZERES considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $4,982,523 and $43,495 at August 31, 2014 and February 28, 2014, respectively.
Advertising Costs	The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. XZERES incurred advertising expense of $2,528 and $8,778 during the quarters ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Advertising expense totaled $9,551 and $28,362 for six months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively
Stock-Based Compensation	The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense or prepaid expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Dividends	The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during any of the periods shown. On October 19, 2012 the Company sold 1,428,571 shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock at a price per share of $1.05 for total proceeds of $1,500,000. The sale of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock included the issuance of 2,142,857 warrants. Based upon the Black Scholes pricing model the warrants have a fair value of $0.2106 per warrant. The portion of the proceeds allocated to warrants is $345,000. The Preferred shares are convertible into three shares of common stock. A deemed dividend of $259,285 was recorded which represents the intrinsic value of the conversion feature on the issuance date. On August 21, 2014, the Company retired all the outstanding preferred and corresponding warrants under a settlement agreement with the Preferred shareholder.
Property and Equipment	Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years.
Research and Development	We incur research and development costs (“R&D”) to develop and improve our products. Our products reach technological feasibility shortly before the products are released and therefore R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Employee related costs associated with product development are included in R&D costs.
Intangible Assets	In accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company tests its intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 350, requiring that intangible assets that have indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to an annual impairment test or more frequent test if indicators of impairment exist.
Income Taxes	Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of the quarter ended August 31, 2014, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share	Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Common share equivalents, which includes warrants and options, totaled 32,121,480 at August 31, 2014. Outstanding warrants and options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended August 31, 2014, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Reclassifications	Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements.
