AIRSAFE 101: CLEAN AIR DELIVERY RATE

The importance of good ventilation has never been more critical, especially with the latest confirmation of airborne transmission of the COVID-19 virus by the World Health Organization. With the goal to provide cleaner and safer air to breathe during these tough times, Solaric has launched its own line of air purifiers: the #AirSAFE series – with top notch quality air filters and higher clean air delivery rate (or CADR) that will surely give you faster air exchange especially in enclosed spaces.

CADR Rating

The common way to measure an air purifier’s performance is through its clean air delivery rate or CADR rating. Depending on its rate, an air purifier’s CADR will give you an idea on how fast it can remove particles like dust, pollen, or allergen from the air on a specific room size. CADR ratings are very important when buying air purifiers similar to how you define a horsepower of an air-conditioning unit. The higher the CADR rating, the powerful the air purifier’s fan is and can even cover larger areas such as our limited edition and commercial-grade air purifier juggernaut, the AirSAFE MAX, which can cover up to 98sqm of room size with its 800 cubic per meter CADR rating.

The AirSAFE series

Since the virus can remain suspended in the air for hours and can continue to build up in spaces with inadequate ventilation, Solaric’s #AirSAFE is equipped with state of the art technology and replacement filters readily available to provide you cleaner and safer air for your homes, businesses and offices.

The AirSAFE40 (AS40) is good for 11-22sqm rooms with CADR rating of 150m3h – ultimately perfect for residential use. A bigger unit called AirSAFE95 (AS95) is available for rooms with 34-58sqm in size. It has a higher CADR rating (488m3h) compared to other units available in the market and popular with the health care professionals and facilities. All AirSAFE models are equipped with an internal UV light, Japanese pollution sensors, and a standard H11 HEPA filter that can be upgraded to a medical grade of H13.

While waiting for ALL of us to get vaccinated, #StayHome and #StaySafe. Breathe better with Solaric’s AirSAFE in your home or office.

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE SAFE AIR.

HOW DOES HEAT AFFECT YOUR SOLAR PANELS?

With the recent temperatures reaching up to 45 degrees in some parts of the country, some people may wonder, how does heat affect their solar panels?

First, we have to understand how solar panels function. Although sunlight and heat are always correlated to each other, these two factors affect the performance of your solar energy system differently. While heat does not reduce the amount of energy harvested by your panels, it does have an impact on how energy is produced inside the cells. This is because solar panels generate energy through the sun’s light and not heat. In fact, the higher the temperatures, the lesser the efficiency of your solar panels which causes energy losses and a drop in your system performance.

Temperature Coefficient

A solar panel’s performance relative to a given temperature or temperature coefficient varies from brand to brand and is important in calculating an accurate production level of your solar energy system, which is why it is important to choose the best solar panels for your roof that will be efficient given the tropical climate of the Philippines. Most of the solar panels that Solaric offers has a coefficient between -0.35 to -0.5. The temperature coefficient will tell you how much power a solar panel loses for every 1° increase in temperatures above 25°C.

For example, a solar panel has a temperature coefficient of -0.35% per 1°C. So with every one-degree increase above 25°C, the solar panel’s efficiency will decrease by 0.35%.

Reducing the heat’s effects

The effects of heat on your solar energy system is inevitable especially during the summer when the heat is on its peak which is why it is important to look for an experienced and knowledgeable solar provider that will correctly install solar panels in your roof. The right installer will install panels at the right angle to make sure you will still be able to harvest the maximum sunlight as possible while allowing a convective air flow to cool the panels. They can also provide you multiple options on solar panels, inverter brands and system size system that will allow you to enjoy your solar energy system at its fullest. Another tip is to apply ceramic paint coats on your roof. These are just some of the tips you should know to answer the question “How does heat affect solar panels?”

WHY SOLARIC SHOULD BE YOUR NEXT INVESTMENT

With the temperatures rising more than 40 degrees Celcius lately as we hit the peak of summer, it is impossible to not turn on the aircons and blast the heat away. With the recent announcement of yet another electricity hike for this month, can we still avoid the dread of the impending monthly electric bill? Is it time to consider Solaric as your next investment?

The Philippines has always been plagued by unstable electricity rates – one of the highest rates in Asia. The latest news of the electricity rates going up again for two consecutive months is due to the thinning supply of the Luzon grid, which is caused by the higher demand of people staying and working at home due to the pandemic, and also caused by the vast heat we are currently experiencing. Every year, this is the same vicious cycle – which is exactly what our wise solar enthusiasts have on their mind when they decide to cut the chase and invest in solar.

No more tipid, no more tiis

Even during the pandemic and community quarantines, Solaric clients with rooftop solar systems were able to maximize the potential of the sun’s energy without breaking a sweat – even during the bill shock crisis of 2020. They are the ones that have prepared for the worst case scenario and reaped the benefits of their solar investment.

When you have a grid tie solar system, the solar becomes the first priority power to be used by your daytime appliances. If you have a grid tie and opt for net metering, any excess energy generated by your solar energy system is exported to the grid and converted to credits. This setup can hugely offset your nighttime and weekend power consumption. Solaric clients have their own personal power plants on their rooftops. They produce their own power, and will benefit from the Solaric investment for the next 25 years or more – plus they have a lower carbon footprint, lower monthly electric bills, and help protect the environment.

COVID-19 IS AIRBORNE: BE SAFE WITH #AIRSAFE

Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) finally admitted that the COVID-19 is indeed airborne, more than a year after it was declared a global pandemic. The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention or CDC has also acknowledged the virus as an airborne threat and updated their guidelines earlier this month.

According to CDC, people would always release respiratory droplets varying in size through exhalation, speaking, quiet breathing, exercise, sneezing, and coughing. Exposure to these respiratory fluids carrying the SARS-CoV-2 viruses causes them to be infected in 3 major ways: inhaling fine respiratory droplets and aerosol particles, discharge of droplets on exposed mucous membranes in the mouth, nose, or eye, and touching the said body parts with hands that have been soiled with the ‘virus-containing respiratory fluids directly or indirect contact through contaminated surfaces. The virus can linger in the air for minutes to hours especially within enclosed spaces with inadequate ventilation.

Good ventilation is important

The virus can linger in the air for minutes to hours especially within enclosed spaces with inadequate ventilation. The virus will continue to build up in the air and expose everyone who is in a poorly ventilated environment. Besides wearing face masks, routine disinfection, and social distancing, health experts have also concluded that proper air filtration and ventilation systems could be a lifesaving factor in homes, offices and work places where interactions cannot always be avoided and social distancing cannot always be at acceptable distances.

The AirSAFE technology

Solaric’s AirSAFE series has a higher CADR or clean air delivery ratio values compared to the other brands available in the market, capable to cater every room size. It has built-in Japanese pollution sensors that can detect harmful airborne particles suspended in the air and that are practically invisible to the naked eye. Getting sufficient or maximum air exchanges per hour is an effective way to avoid virus build up in enclose corners and spaces. With its powerful motors, the AirSAFE can automatically adjust its fan speed to address the current pollution level, sucking and filtering the air through its 7 stages of filtration and kill tiny harmful organisms trapped inside the filter box through its internal UV light. Not to mention, it is only one of the air purifiers available in the Philippine market with replacement filters readily available for purchase.

While waiting for ALL of us to get vaccinated, #StayHome and #StaySafe. Breathe better with Solaric’s AirSAFE in your home or office. Keep yourself safe even when COVID-19 is airborne.

ZERO BILL AND NET METERING

#ZeroBill will never be possible for Grid Tie solar system owners without net metering. Why?

Let’s define ZeroBill home

Solaric always gives their clients all plausible options for their solar needs. We offer basic, premium, first-class and the ultimate #ZeroBill build. But with this summer heat and endless quarantine seasons, a lot of people are looking for the ZeroBill option for the long run.

A #ZeroBill home is a household with an electric bill of ZERO each month. Yes, zero pesos – and it is a fact, not a myth. Referred to as a net-zero home or a zero-energy building, a zero bill happens whenever you have a bigger system that supplies more power than what you consume. To make this possible, we need to oversize your initial recommended system 3 to 4 times. This will certainly take up more roof space (if not the entire roof), and budget, but in return, you do not have to pay a single centavo on your monthly electric bills for years to come.

Here comes net metering

A grid tie system, ZeroBill, and net metering will always co-exist with each other. With a grid tie system, you solar is interconnected to the grid so that energy trading can happen and apply for net metering program with your utility company to earn credits for your night time and heavy weekend consumption. By selling so much excess energy, the credits become extremely profitable and pile up which can later be translated to a #ZeroBill!

Solaric will also help you in the process of “Net metering” should you decide to apply. Our commitment in providing the best service to our clients does not end after the installation. If you encounter any problems or concerns with your solar system, feel free to give us a call and we will assist you through it.

2021 TIPS: MAKE THE BEST OF YOUR SOLAR THIS SUMMER!

A lot of people have something to look forward to every summer. Even though we are still dealing with the pandemic, solar homeowners are beyond excited about the benefits that the summer will bring for their solar systems.

Do your stuff when the sun is out

To get the most out of your solar this summer, make sure to use your heavy appliances like washing machine, dryer, or pumps during the daytime or in the middle of the day when the energy production is at its peak. Make use of your air-conditioning units during the day when the sun is out, to cool your home interior. Enjoy guilt-free AC brought to you by your solar.

Apply for net metering

Any excess energy generated by your solar energy system can easily be converted to credits, which can hugely offset your nighttime and weekend energy consumption through the “net-metering program”. With the grid tie system, you get to use the solar as the main source of the house’s energy during the daytime. You get to become your own power producer. A typical grid tie solar system can last for more than 25 years and what happens if you fill your entire roof with solar panels? #ZeroBill!

Take note

Although summer is rich in daylight goodness, always remember that the heat also affects the solar performance which is why it is important to make sure that your solar system is in optimal condition. Check whether your solar panels need cleaning and if everything is working properly through online monitoring provided by your inverter or physical inspection. Remember, the solar system generates electricity through sunlight and not heat. The hotter the temperature gets, the less efficient your solar panels will be. Get in touch with your solar provider in case you observe something unusual. Do this to ensure that you maximize the benefits of the summer for solar systems.

THE SHIFT TOWARDS A RENEWABLE LIFESTYLE

With the increasing interest in solar by homeowners whose priority is to reduce their monthly electric bills, business owners are also taking their steps to minimize their energy expenses and pave way for the awareness in climate change. From simply switching to eco-bags and utilizing whatever space they have for solar, truly we are on the way to leading a shift towards renewable lifestyle for Filipinos and creating an environment-friendly and sustainable future.

Planning from the start

Even during the pandemic, our sales, engineering, and installation teams were continuously working to provide the best services to our clients. Our clients are not only limited to residential homeowners but also commercial and industrial establishments like hospitals, manufacturing plants, schools, among others, that are eager to turn on the sun. These are not limited to existing homes or buildings, but also an option for sites under construction. Solaric is routinely consulted to make out the right solar economics for the commercial and industrial owners.

Incorporating solar-ready design in homes and establishments can help lessen construction costs from the start. Usually, the owners approach the architects and contractors to inquire about solar or call us ahead of time to collaborate with their architects or contractors to make their establishments solar-ready. By planning early, the solar technology can easily be integrated and optimized to the site’s maximum potential. This would also make the solar installation easier as simple as plug and play, in case the client has a tight budget and doesn’t allow the installation of the PV system at the current time.

Choosing a Solar Company

Make sure to find a solar provider who offers the all-in-one solution: engineering, design, supply, delivery, installation, energization, and good aftersales. Look for a good solar company with proven track record and experience that will provide you with the right solar energy system suitable for your needs. The shift to a renewable lifestyle starts now!

GEAR UP THIS SUMMER: LIKE A BOSS

The Philippines has one of the highest electricity rates in Asia, not to mention that we sit in the tropical region and face tremendous heat during the summer. With everyone practically staying at home due to the enhanced community quarantine and the heat, it’s almost impossible to not turn on the aircon. However, if you had solar on your rooftop, you’d totally turn on that AC, and gear up #LikeABoss.

Solar enthusiasts with solarized homes have reaped its benefits throughout the gap year of 2020, and continue to enjoy a worry-free summer this 2021.

More sun hours, more power!

Your solar energy system works by harvesting energy from sunlight. Summer brings more of this light due to longer daylight hours which means you have more time to enjoy its benefits. According to Bong, one of our clients whom we have recently interviewed, “Everything is good as long as we make it happen between 8am to 5pm. If there’s sun, there’s power.”

Even though Bong runs 5 air-conditioning units for almost 20 hours each day, he only pays about Php 5,000 to Php 6,000 a month. That’s equivalent to savings of Php 10,000 to Php 14,000 per month!

Grid Tie System and #ZeroBill

Having a grid tie system means that your solar system is interconnected to your electrical grid. It uses solar as the first priority power to be used to cover your daytime usage and is the most common type of solar energy system in Metro manila because It has more stable grid supply and does not need any batteries to run. Any excess energy can be exported to the grid through the “Net-metering program” which can be converted into credits and used to offset your night time and weekend energy usage. Through this, the ultimate goal of #ZeroBill or a zero-energy building can also be achieved when you produce more power than what you consume. Gear up #LikeABoss now with solar energy.

How to get a #ZeroBill:

Maximize your roof space by investing in the biggest solar system possible.
Apply for net metering so that you can export the excess power produced by your system.
Invest in inverter and energy-saving appliances.
Use power wisely during the daytime.
Call Solaric for the ultimate #ZeroBill solution!

HOW DOES THE HEPA FILTER WORK?

When buying an air purifier, the most common thing you will encounter is the HEPA filter. What is a HEPA filter and how does it work?

What is a HEPA filter?

HEPA filter or high-efficiency particulate air filter is designed to effectively capture harmful particles in almost every size through a very fine mesh similar to a kitchen sieve. HEPA filters are known to be very crucial components of air purifiers, vacuum cleaners, and air-conditioning or ventilating units.

When combined with other outer filters that trap larger particles likes hair, dust, and pet dander, it reduces the strain in the HEPA filter and helps it capture the even tinier particles like pollen, mold, viruses, and allergens at a highly effective rate by trapping them on its fibers through impact, interception, and diffusion. Larger particles can’t get past through these net of fibers upon impact and is straightaway captured while smaller particles are intercepted along the way as they pass through the filter and stick. The even smaller particles that are invisible to the eye are captured through diffusion. This involves the science of Brownian motion. These tiny particles are so small; they barely have mass which makes them bounce around when they hit with a gas molecule, causing them to hit the fibers and eventually get stuck.

HEPA in AirSAFE

When choosing and understanding how a HEPA filter should work, a HEPA grade can help you compare its efficiency. The general HEPA grade standard ranges from H10 to H12 and can trap particles that are greater than or equal to 0.3 microns in 99.997% efficiency.

The AirSAFE units are equipped with an H11 grade filter but it can also be upgraded up to H13. The H13 has a denser fiber and falls under the medical grade. They are commonly used in medical and health care facilities that are more exposed in dangerous toxins and have a greater particulate retention rate. The AirSAFE series are only few of the air purifiers that comes with replacement filters currently locally available in the market. Not to mention, it also has an internal UV light that can effectively kill a variety of airborne bacteria, viruses and microorganisms that are trapped in the filter box.

The following are the current prices for AirSAFE filters:

AS40 H11 filter : P1,900
AS40 H13 filter: P2,750
AS95 H11 filter: P3,500
AS95 H13 filter: P4,800
AS-MAX H13 filter: P6,900
