Frequently Asked Questions
General
Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity using photovoltaic cells. An inverter then converts DC into alternating current (AC), which powers your home or business. Any excess energy can be fed back to the grid through net metering or stored in batteries for later use.
Yes, solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, though at reduced efficiency — typically around 10–25% of their rated output. Modern panels are designed to capture diffused sunlight. In the Philippines, even during the rainy season, there is usually enough sunlight to produce meaningful energy.
A grid-tie system connects to the utility grid and uses net metering — it's the most cost-effective option. A hybrid system adds battery storage so you have backup power during outages while still connected to the grid. An off-grid system is completely independent from the grid, relying entirely on solar panels and batteries.
Most properties with a roof that receives direct sunlight for at least 4–5 hours per day are suitable. Ideal conditions include a roof facing south or west with minimal shading from trees or nearby buildings. We provide a free site assessment to determine your property's solar potential.
Yes, a net metering agreement with your local distribution utility (e.g., ISECO, INECO) is required for grid-tie and hybrid systems. We handle all the paperwork and permitting on your behalf, including the application for net metering and any local building permits needed.
Installation
A typical residential installation takes 1–3 days once all materials are on-site. Commercial installations may take 1–3 weeks depending on the system size. The entire process, including site assessment, design, permitting, and installation, usually takes 4–8 weeks from contract signing.
No. Our certified installers use industry-standard mounting systems with proper flashing and sealants designed to maintain your roof's integrity. We inspect the roof structure before installation to ensure it can support the panels. Our work is backed by a workmanship warranty that covers any roof-related issues.
The ideal system size depends on your monthly electricity consumption, available roof space, and budget. As a guide, a typical Filipino household using ₱5,000–₱10,000 worth of electricity per month would need a 3–5 kWp system. We analyze your electricity bills and design a system tailored to your needs.
We use Tier 1 solar panels from globally recognized manufacturers known for high efficiency and durability. Our inverter partners include leading brands with proven track records. All equipment comes with manufacturer warranties. We can discuss specific brand options during your consultation.
Solar panels can be installed on most roof types including metal/GI sheets, concrete slabs, clay tiles, and flat roofs. Each roof type uses a different mounting system optimized for that surface. During our free site assessment, we evaluate your roof material, angle, and structural capacity to recommend the best approach.
Cost & Savings
The cost varies depending on the system size and type. Residential grid-tie systems typically range from ₱55,000 to ₱70,000 per kWp installed. A standard 5 kWp home system may cost around ₱275,000–₱350,000. We offer free quotations and flexible payment options to fit your budget.
Most customers see a 50–80% reduction in their electricity bills. Actual savings depend on your system size, energy consumption patterns, and sunlight exposure. With net metering, any excess energy you generate is credited to your future bills, maximizing your savings.
Most residential solar installations pay for themselves within 4–6 years through electricity savings. After that, you enjoy virtually free electricity for the remaining 20+ years of the system's lifespan. Commercial installations often see an even faster ROI due to higher electricity rates.
Net metering is a billing arrangement with your utility company. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you use, the excess is exported to the grid and you receive credits on your bill. These credits offset the electricity you consume at night or on cloudy days, significantly lowering your overall bill.
Yes, we offer flexible payment terms to make solar accessible. Options include installment plans, bank financing partnerships, and lease-to-own arrangements. Some customers also qualify for government incentives and tax benefits for renewable energy adoption. Contact us for a customized financial plan.
Maintenance & Warranty
Solar panels require very little maintenance. Occasional cleaning to remove dust, leaves, or bird droppings is usually sufficient — typically every 3–6 months or after heavy storms. There are no moving parts to wear out. We also offer affordable maintenance packages for complete peace of mind.
Our installations come with a comprehensive warranty package: solar panels typically carry a 25-year performance warranty and 12-year product warranty, inverters come with a 5–10 year manufacturer warranty, and we provide a workmanship warranty covering the installation itself. Exact terms vary by product.
Quality solar panels are built to last 25–30 years or more. While their efficiency gradually decreases over time (typically 0.5–0.7% per year), most panels still produce at least 80% of their original output after 25 years. Inverters generally last 10–15 years and may need replacement once during the panel lifespan.
With a grid-tie system, your solar panels will automatically shut off during a power outage for safety reasons (to protect utility workers). With a hybrid system that includes battery storage, your essential loads will continue to be powered by the batteries even during an outage.
Yes! Most modern inverters come with built-in WiFi monitoring. You can track your system's real-time energy production, daily/monthly output, and savings through a smartphone app or web portal. We set up monitoring during installation and show you how to use it.
