Solar power with grid backup in Manila

Metro Manila, 2021 - A lot of residential and business solar energy systems in the Philippines are connected to the electricity grid, or “grid-tied”. That means, when the system is producing more electricity than what your building needs, the excess is fed back into the grid through net metering.

Energy Independence: By installing a solar power system, you gain control over your energy consumption and become less vulnerable to rising electricity rates and power outages, which are common in the Philippines. Eco-Friendly: Solar power is a clean and renewable energy source.

The cost of installing a solar power system in the Philippines varies depending on the size of the system, the quality of the components, and the complexity of the installation. On average, a residential solar power system can range from PHP 150,000 to PHP 500,000 for small to medium installations.

In comparison with a grid-tied system, an off-grid solar system's price increases remarkably, with a minimum of 30%. 1kWh of solar energy is worth PHP 9-11 in the Philippines. If the 1kWh is stored in a solar battery, it can only supply around 70% of the stored 1kWh back to your appliances due to physical losses.

We want to make solar energy more accessible to every Filipino by offering various payment schemes and financing options. How many solar panels do I need for our house? The number of solar panels needed for a house depends on several factors, including the size of the house, the amount of electricity used, and the available space for the panels.

A grid-tied solar system, also known as a grid-connected or “on-grid” system, is a type of solar power system that is connected to the electrical grid. This means that the solar panels generate electricity that is used to power the home or business, and any excess electricity is sent back to the grid.
