Common Questions About Solar Power

Click on any question to see the answer

💰 How much does solar cost?

+

Solar installation costs vary based on your system size and energy needs. Here's a typical breakdown for the Philippines:

  • Small Residential (3-5kW): ₱150,000 - ₱250,000
  • Medium Residential (8-12kW): ₱400,000 - ₱600,000
  • Large Residential/Commercial (20kW+): Custom pricing based on requirements

💳 We offer flexible payment plans and can help you access government incentives and financing options to reduce upfront costs.

📊 How long is the ROI (Return on Investment)?

+

Most of our Filipino customers achieve full ROI within 4-6 years, depending on several factors:

  • Current electricity bill: Higher bills = faster payback
  • System size and efficiency: Quality components maximize production
  • Location and sunlight: Philippines has excellent solar potential!
  • Net metering: Selling excess power speeds up ROI
  • Electricity rate increases: MERALCO rates typically rise 3-5% annually

⚡ After payback, you'll enjoy FREE electricity for 20+ years since solar panels last 25-30 years!

🔌 What happens during brownouts or power outages?

+

The answer depends on your system type:

  • Grid-Tied System: Automatically shuts off during outages for safety. Reconnects when power returns.
  • Hybrid System (with battery backup): Continuous power during brownouts! Batteries keep essentials running.
  • Off-Grid System: Complete independence from the grid with 24/7 backup power.

🔋 Our recommendation: Hybrid systems are ideal for the Philippines due to frequent brownouts.

📝 Do you assist with net-metering applications?

+

Yes, absolutely! We handle the entire net-metering process from start to finish:

  • ✅ Document preparation — all required forms and technical specs
  • ✅ Submission to utility — coordination with MERALCO
  • ✅ Bi-directional meter installation
  • ✅ Follow-up and approval tracking
  • ✅ Final inspection — ERC & utility inspector coordination

💡 With net-metering, excess energy goes back to the grid for bill credits. The process takes 2-4 months.

🔧 Is there maintenance required for solar panels?

+

Solar panels require very minimal maintenance! No moving parts. Here's what's recommended:

  • Panel cleaning: 2-4 times per year
  • Visual inspection: After typhoons for damage/debris
  • Electrical inspection: Annual inverter & wiring checkup
  • Performance monitoring: Track via our mobile app

🛠️ We offer maintenance packages: quarterly cleaning, priority response, optimization, and warranty extensions.
