The solar industry in a nutshell

Solar power is beginning to play a massive role in delivering clean and safe energy to the world population. There are various giants at play in this industry. In countries like the Philippines, solar panel parts and accessories manufacturers market products such as inverters, mounting racks, batteries, energy storage systems, etc. Solar panel manufacturers make, develop, produce, and distribute solar panels. Solar installers offer a one-stop shop, or a turnkey solution for solar power systems from system design, engineering, installation, to maintenance and support. These are usually the top-of-mind names that the end consumers are familiar with.

Cost per click and cost per watt

Back in the day, business talks revolved around CPC, or cost per click. This 2019, discussions focus on Cost Per Watt. This is one of the most important metrics to know and understand because this is how to determine efficiency and production costs.

The key takeaway

The growth of the solar industry will continue. The International Energy Agency estimates that by 2022, global capacity will be between 1,000 and 1,300 gigawatts (GW), while GTM Research estimates global capacity at 871 GW by 2022. This can be summed up in one simple sentence: global solar demand will continue to rise over time.

Is climate change getting worse?

The entire planet is adversely affected by climate change, which is why various countries are embracing renewable energy, especially solar. Almost 100% of Iceland’s energy comes from renewable sources. Sweden has boldly declared its goal of eliminating fossil fuels. Germany runs on 20% renewable energy. Costa Rica has a target of being absolutely carbon neutral by year 2021. The Philippines has a longer dry season. Thus, we have more sunshine. What is our goal in the Philippines?

Who is the biggest pure-play solar installer in the Philippines?

Solaric is the recognized king of rooftop solar. Solaric has established its name across the renewable industry as a proven and reputable rooftop solar leader. Backed by decades of experience, Solaric has installed more than 50% of residential rooftop solar panels in the Philippines and has delivered significant cost reductions in electricity expenses, as well as milestone contributions to a cleaner, greener, and renewable future.

SOLARIC DELIVERS THE ZERO BILL PHENOMENON

The Solar Gamechangers Talk About How They Deliver the #ZeroBill

The Zero Bill: Is it real?

Zero bill clients are starting to pop up from different cities: Makati, Muntinlupa, Quezon City. In the Philippines, solar systems, something perceived by many as a mystery, are now fast becoming a reality to them. Let us take a look at Lito, a client who lives in an exclusive, gated subdivision in the prime center of Makati City. His electric bill averages to about Php30,000 each month. His household daytime appliances include a washing machine, three television sets, a dryer, a chest freezer, five air conditioner units, and a swimming pool pump. Six years ago, he installed a 5 kWp grid-tie solar system and registered for Meralco’s Net Metering Program with Peak/Off-Peak (POP). Less than a year later, his electric bill hit zero. Yes, the total amount due was a whopping Php0.00.

The translation

What does the zero bill translate to? It means that the household now uses the sun as a means of power, especially during the daytime. Laundry can be done daily using the washing machine and dryer, without worrying about the power consumption of the dryer and its peso equivalent. A zero bill means all aircons in the house can be turned on during the daytime, and family members can lounge around indoors, feet propped up on the couch, with Netflix and popcorn, in the luxury of guilt-free AC. Why? The investment in a solar system in the Philippines pays off. ROI is typically within 3 to 5 years. The benefits are forever.

The choice of a solar lifestyle

When Filipinos contemplate on buying rooftop solar, people have a wide range of reasons and reflections. Some want to save money. Some want to profit. Some want to keep up with the pace of technology. Most want to be smart: they want to consume power and produce power at the same time. Installing rooftop solar is a win-win decision for everyone and everything: homes, factories, warehouses, storage facilities, cold storage plants, establishments, farms, hotels, resorts, hospitals, schools, buildings, and more. Everyone wants to be paid for providing clean solar power to the grid. The only way to do that is to get solar. At the same time, you contribute to a clean, safe, healthy, sustainable, and renewable future.

How to get that zero bill

There are various ways to set up solar so that you will never have to pay for power again. Check out our website for a free site inspection today.

The leading option that has become the nation’s trend is installing a large solar power system because that is how to guarantee a zero bill.

Why solar is the best investment this 2019

A large solar power system makes sense both financially and environmentally. Buying and installing solar increases your property value. Whether you install solar at the house, office, building, warehouse, factory, farm – the market and property value increases. Now, with more people becoming even more educated about solar, the demand for solar properties is the highest it has ever been.

How to become a consumer and a provider

The best option to guarantee a zero bill is to install a large solar system, one with enough rooftop solar so that the credits you receive from the utility company from exporting surplus electricity reduces your bill to zero. In other words, the surplus electricity from your solar system will be exported to the grid. This will offset your consumption from the grid.

Breaking it down for every Juan

In layman’s terms: have a solar solutions team install plenty of solar panels on your roof and generate enough power. Then export this power to the utility company. In doing this, you do not have to pay a single centavo on your electric bills. Better yet, you get paid for the electricity that you will provide. The zero bill is a benefit from being a consumer and provider.

IS YOUR BUSINESS PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE?

Commercial and Industrial Are Now Fast Shifting to Renewable Energy

Manila, Philippines
March 19, 2019

“Our solar initiatives should already go beyond barriers. It’s time. There should be strong willpower from every single Filipino to go green whenever they can, wherever they can,” says Jade De Guzman, Vice President of Solaric Corp.

Do fossil fuels power your business?

The industry buzz is about a possible shortage of power in the near future. Now is the time for businesses in the Philippines to use solar panels. In the Luzon grid, reports claim that “reserve energy” has reportedly dropped to “below minimum levels due to the unexpected shutdown and limited generation of some power plants.” This has led to high demand for electricity. The facts are clear: peak demand for power is nearing peak capacity. Numerous malls, buildings, hospitals, educational institutions, factories, warehouses, and industrial facilities are fast adopting the global trend and installing megawatts (MW) of rooftop solar. Many commercial and industrial projects are now underway, as firms begin to align themselves to target power production capacities from rooftop solar in the coming years.

And then there’s El Niño

Since the turn of 2019, state weather bureau PAGASA warned the nation that Filipinos would experience less rainfall due to El Niño, but few heeded the warning. Now, provinces are declaring a state of calamity due to drought. The question is: are Filipinos ready for the effects and damages that will result? The long dry season will negatively impact the country – especially where Metro Manila is – because peak demand for power will hit in the peak of summer, which is May. On the other hand, hydroelectric power plants in Luzon are reducing capacity by 30% from April to June. A quick run on the figures shows that Luzon will have to import at least 350 MW of power from other grids or sources or power plants to supply the needs and address the power outages. This is exactly why the commercial and industrial sector has been turning to solar power for power supply. Sunlight is a free source of energy and solar power is renewable and sustainable. Self-generation of power is what 2019 is all about.

Solar for businesses this 2019

Commercial solar panels are feasible for businesses of all sizes: small to medium to Fortune 500. Solar is not just for Apple, Microsoft, or Netflix. Every business should capitalize on solar. Every business should take advantage of financial opportunities and invest in solar. A solar power system is a key strategic decision that offers a solid financial return for the business. There are three reasons why businesses should go solar: the business becomes a green company, the business incurs monthly savings, the business invests in a guaranteed ROI.

Let’s talk about them

The entire planet is adversely affected by climate change, which is why various countries are embracing renewable energy, especially solar. Almost 100% of Iceland’s energy comes from renewable sources. Sweden has boldly declared its goal of eliminating fossil fuels. Germany runs on 20% renewable energy. Costa Rica has a target of being absolutely carbon neutral by the year 2021. The Philippines has a longer dry season. Thus, we have more sunshine. What is our goal in the Philippines?

Installing a solar panel system for the business in the Philippines is a wise, significant, one-time investment that provides energy savings for 25 years. In essence, it means free power in the long term.

SOLAR PANELS FOR BUSINESSES: HOW SOLAR CAN SAVE YOUR BUSINESS MONEY

Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
March 13, 2019

Does commercial solar make sense?

Some business owners and executives in the Philippines consider solar panels for businesses with hesitation because they have little grasp of the market, advantages, and effects that the solar panels will have on the business. Despite being aware that numerous Fortune 500 companies are adopting a solar mindset and utilizing renewable energy, thousands of global companies are still wary about green initiatives and environmental efficiency. In today’s eco-aware world, business professionals should start considering installing solar panels at some point in the near future – not only to become environmentally sound but because it is most certainly a strategic financial decision for the business.

Solar for smart business owners

The question is simple: does the business have a roof?

Since more than 100 of the Fortune 500 enterprises have experienced significant results by using solar power, then it is time for all other businesses to follow suit and embrace solar. Most businesses conduct operations during daytime hours, which is the time which the sun’s rays shine bright and the business can maximize the benefits of the unlimited source of the power of the sun. Any business can install solar: factories, warehouses, office buildings, cold storage facilities, restaurants, car dealerships, BPOs, schools, hospitals, city halls – any business that has a roof can benefit from solar power and save money each and every month. Once the business has a solar panel system installed, the business can register for Net Metering. Then it can sell its surplus solar energy during the hours in which they are not operational, such as Sundays and holidays. On regular business days, the business can use solar as their primary source of power.

Give me the solar updates

It’s 2019. Today’s typical solar panel system no longer needs batteries because solar can now be merged with utility power. The system is called a Grid Tie System. In this setup, the solar power is tapped and utilized first. When power from that source is exhausted, then the grid power is used. In instances when there is more solar power than grid power, on days such as Sundays and holidays when the business may not be operational, the power generated by the solar panel system is sold to the utility company for credits via the Net Metering program. Every 6 square meters of the roof with solar panels can produce 1400 to 1700 kWh of energy each year – or the energy content in a barrel of oil. For companies who want to be green and are focusing on sustainability, solar is the answer.

How much can the business save from using solar?

When a solar panel system is installed for a business, the bill reductions or the money savings range from 20% to 70%. It all depends on how much rooftop solar was installed and how large the electric bill was. Various factors are at play in determining the size of the solar system that your business requires. Additional information is necessary. Daytime electricity usage needs to be analyzed. The electric bill is reviewed. The hours of operation and power consumption are considered. Actual measurements need to be made by a team of engineers and installers.

“It is definitely time to lead businesses towards sustainability. It’s about marketing the company as green and renewable – because there is great importance in that. On the other hand, the primary driver for the business is reduce their monthly utility expenses. What business doesn’t want that?” says Mike De Guzman, President of Solaric Corp.

Installing solar panels for your business in the Philippines is a wise, significant, one-time investment that provides energy savings for 25 years. In essence, it means free power in the long term.

SOLARIC IS THE SOLAR SERVICE LEADER

How Another Satisfied Client Reduced Her Electric Bill by P3,000 Right After Installing Rooftop Solar

Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
March 12, 2019

All about Grace

In a private, gated subdivision in Malabon, stands the 3-story home of Tita Grace. On a typical day, the daytime appliances that the household runs includes a washing machine, dryer, television, fans, aircons, refrigerator, freezer, computer, and gadgets. Her monthly electric bill was approximately P12,000.

The buzz about solar

Grace started hearing the buzz about solar panels in the Philippines and its explosive boom in the past decade, especially here in the Philippines. She learned about how it was fast becoming the number one solution to power. She also started seeing videos on Facebook about homeowners who installed rooftop solar, and how those homeowners became more energy efficient, protected the environment, and saved money.

She wanted to reduce costs too

Grace wanted to lower her monthly electric bill. She wanted what those homeowners had: reduced expenses and increased savings. So she decided to make that one-time wise business and environmental investment.

How she got started

Grace contacted a leader in rooftop solar and requested a site survey. The solar professionals and engineers went to her home, examined the property, roof, solar capacity, and its surrounding area. They then evaluated the solar project potential or capability. The solar experts analyzed Grace’s electric bills in recent months. They determined the most appropriate solar panel installation for her home. They then designed a solar system that could produce enough power to meet the home’s consumption or usage and sent her a detailed proposal.

It was a go

She went on to install a 1.77 kWp Grid Tie System – which does not use any batteries. It is basically a solar power system that is connected to the utility power grid. When asked why she decided to install a grid-tie system, Grace said, “I save more money with a grid tie system because it’s cheaper, plus I can avail of Net Metering and Peak Off-Peak (POP). With net metering, I can even sell my excess electricity to the utility grid. For my entire system, I only spent P140,000. That’s one fourth the value of buying a car, and yet my entire family will benefit from it forever.”

What happened after

How much did Grace save? She showed us her pre-solar bills and the post-solar bill (one month after her rooftop solar was installed). Her new bill was a surprising P9,000, which equated to instant savings of P3,000. “My savings went to groceries… and entertainment,” she grinned.

Wait there’s more

It was not the savings nor the benefits that Grace loved the most about her newly installed rooftop solar from Solaric. “The best thing I love about Solaric is their customer service. I did not understand much of the technical stuff and I was not so knowledgeable about solar panels. I had to call them all the time. What I appreciated the most is that they always got in touch with me – even when they were in the middle of meetings, and even when they were out in the field.”

Solaric is the Solar Service Leader

At Solaric, we always do our best to deliver fast, efficient, and thorough customer service. We are in the business of not just selling solar panels – but also enabling Solar-powered lifestyles. With this, we want to provide endless satisfaction by delivering Solaric Service Satisfaction, ranging from permanent reduction of electric bills to the ultimate ZERO bill.

Using the sun to run all your appliances is a recent technological development and we guide our customers step by step on using solar: how to size properly, handle maintenance and Net metering permitting, how to manage the system, and more, so that the utility company will BUY the surplus power. Our solar engineers go through the electrical usage patterns and examine what appliances are used during daytime and nighttime hours, determine the power consumption, and identify how much solar energy your roof can generate using precise computations. From there, we can forecast a solar impact on your electric bills with the desired solar panel system installation in mind.

Grace wanted to try out solar panels in the Philippines first to see what six panels can do before going all out for the phenomenal Zero Bill system. Apparently, the price is not the only thing she factored in. She was more keen on the responsiveness of the Solaric team – which comprised the entire company, from the survey team to the installation crew to the ever-important aftersales customer support team. And that is how Solaric makes a difference. No one else can Turn On The Sun the way we do.

THE ENERGY REVOLUTION: THE SOLAR LIFESTYLE IS NOW OVERTAKING THE PHILIPPINES

2019 TREND: A RENEWABLE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLAR LIFESTYLE

Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
March 8, 2019

The solar revolution

The world is always changing. Wars are fought over the control of oil. Even the climate is changing because we are simply running out of clean air. The world’s nations are getting ready for a revolution on how energy is sourced, generated, and used. The Philippines signed laws and global treaties to protect the environment and its economic security. We have most definitely reached an age of transition and we are now on the verge of disruption. The question is: are we ready for the next big energy revolution in the Philippines? Are solar panels the answer? Read on and find out.

The time is now

At this day and age, it is the right time to embrace and accelerate change. Throughout the nation, a solar project is launched and installed each day. Everyone is clamoring to learn how to install solar, or, even just learn a little more about solar power and energy. For the true energy revolutionary: he no longer needs to pay the utility company for electricity, because he has learned to become both a consumer and producer of power. The 2019 lifestyle is all about being a consumer and a producer of power, about leading a clean, renewable, and sustainable lifestyle. The battle of climate change involves facing the challenge of rising electricity costs the smart and efficient way. The only way to do that is to adopt revolutionary thinking and learning new skills to brave this 2019 world.

Take a peek into understanding rooftop solar

Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight to electricity, typically using a photovoltaic system. A solar power system is made up of multiple photovoltaic (PV) panels, a DC to AC power converter (called inverter) and a rack system that holds the PV panels in place. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are generally fitted on the roof. The panels should be tilted at particular angles to maximize the amount of sunlight that hits the panels. Solar systems on the roofs of homes and businesses generate clean power by converting the energy in sunlight. Going solar is the new global energy alternative. It’s definitely trending – especially here in the Philippines. Why? Well because it’s clean, safe, green, renewable, and most importantly, cheaper than electricity.

Thinking forward

What if even half of the homes, buildings, warehouses, cold storage facilities, and factories had rooftop solar and used solar power? The greenhouse gas emissions of our country would be limited. We could bring solar power to the mainstream like never before. Solar capability is the easy, practical, and cost-efficient solution to protecting the environment.

What the options are for the Filipinos

Filipinos can now take on initiatives in the direction of what is referred to as the solar revolution. Install rooftop solar panel in your Philippine home and in your business. Invest in mini-grid solar power plants. Require all homes to be powered by non-carbon producing sources (or clean energy). Recommend and advocate solar energy. Use net metering to sell excess power to the utility company so that you become a producer AND a consumer (this is the ultimate secret to reducing, if not eliminating, those power bills). Enroll or attend a solar seminar. Adopt a “ green” mindset. The options are endless.

WHAT ONE SOLAR101 TRAINEE DID AFTER ATTENDING THE TRAINING

Introducing the future of solar: a renewable and sustainable lifestyle

Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
February 28, 2019

What are Solar101 and Solar202?

Solaric Corp., the leader in rooftop solar panels in the Philippines, does not just install solar power systems. They are not just the people behind the viral #ZeroBill phenomenon. They also capitalized on the years and experience they have installing solar systems in the country and in various locations in the world, and they developed the industry renowned weekend course on solar energy: Solar101 and Solar202. This is a two-day seminar workshop. It is a semi-technical course that allows any individual to understand the basic aspects and practical applications of solar power and solar panel systems, and how these can economically lower electric bills and protect the planet. The course teaches the average consumer the various types of solar systems and how to install them. Attendees of the workshop, which has now been running for five years, come from a varied pool: homeowners, housewives, entrepreneurs, business executives, energy professionals, electricians, engineers, real estate developers, politicians, students, solar company personnel, doctors, sales professionals, and agents. Every single module of Solar101 and Solar202 is based on actual and practical experiences. Each participant that completes the weekend workshop walks away with knowledge, skills, trade secrets, basic solar planning and installation, a certificate, plus quality fundamentals and techniques that are essential to contribute to the Philippines’ renewable future. All for the cost of just Php5,000 per day.

A trained nationwide network of Solaristas

The core technical experts of Solaric were trained by industry professionals locally and abroad. This knowledge was then shared by training over 5,000 installers and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) enthusiasts of solar panels in the Philippines over the years. Today, Solaric installers are found in almost every city in the Philippines. Solaric continues to equip independent installers and lobby for sound legislation with LGUs, for the benefit of every Filipino.

One particular student

Recently, one particular student that attended the Solar101 and Solar202 was a balikbayan on vacation in the Philippines. After taking the course, he flew back to his Las Vegas home and put his knowledge to application. The result: the first DIY solar installation in Vegas that was fully permitted and granted Net Metering by Nevada Energy (the utility company). All he wanted was that legendary Zero Bill that had become the buzz of the Filipino community. After intensive sessions with the Solaric experts on voltage calculations, wire size schedule, design, and system essentials, he filled his shopping cart with the solar materials needed. He completed the seminar in November. He flew back to Vegas in December, installed his 5.4 kWp solar panel system along with the assistance of some friends, and applied for net metering. His February 2019 bill was zero.

WHAT IS THE COST OF SOLAR PANELS THIS 2019?

It’s cheap: a solar panel system costs two iPhones or half a car.

Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
February 28, 2019

Is it affordable now?

It isn’t just about weighing the effects of fossil fuels versus solar panels in the Philippines. Go deeper into considering the significant returns of the solar panel system over the course of 20 to 25 years.

Climate change and stuff

Imagine if most homes, buildings, factories, warehouses, and business establishments installed solar panels. The entire nation would increase its solar power capacity multiple times. Our annual carbon dioxide emissions from energy use would diminish. We would contribute to the environment instead of destroying it with the effects of traditional energy sources. We would incur significant savings in utility costs. We would directly be responsible for a cleaner, safer, and healthier planet.

“We really should start thinking renewable. Every new home and every new facility that is constructed without a solar power system is truly a missed opportunity,” says Jade De Guzman, Vice President of Solaric Corp., recognized as the leader in rooftop solar of the Philippines. “There are really just two things we need to understand about sustainability and generating solar power from our rooftops. Number one: you reduce pollution. Number two: you reduce your electric bill.”

What is the average cost of solar panels?

Solar panels will reduce your overall total costs on power in your lifetime. There are upfront costs to consider.

This shows that the average solar panel system cost in the Philippines is Php128,500 for a 1.62 kWp solar system. The good news is that the cost of panels only continues to fall year after year. As technology advances, rates drop, and solar power becomes cheaper to produce.

In order to get a solar panel system, it’s important to keep in mind that the cost can vary significantly based on various factors: roof type and space, sun exposure, daytime appliances used, monthly electric bill or power consumption, solar panel system size, quality, installation, labor, installation, brand, location or city, etc. Another crucial factor is your objective. Do you simply want to reduce your power bill? Or do you want a Zero Bill?

THE GIFT OF SOLAR FOR THE AETAS IN ZAMBALES

The Story of Solaric and the Goat

Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
February 20, 2019

This recent Solaric weekend was all about radical 4×4 vehicles, a relief mission, lechon for an appetizer, SAF commandos, and bartering goats for solar panels in the Philippines!

Solar sparks joy

We received a request to give some solar to spark some Joy for the Aetas in Zambales and combine it with a camping trip in Lake Mapanuepe. Never heard of it? Well, it is a lake formed by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, located an hour North of Subic. At Solaric, we pride ourselves in providing energy solutions for every Juan – rich, poor, or even the most remote indigenous tribes.

So we went on a mission: special delivery for outreach goods. Clothes, water filtration systems, hundreds of children’s slippers and of course, Solaric to donate portable solar kits for the nomadic Aeta people.

How we got there

The final hour of driving was challenging as the only approach is a Lahar river bed and no manmade roads. We had to use winches, tow straps, and recovery bars to get our 30+ vehicle convoy through the Lahar wasteland. It’s like driving on the surface of the moon to get to this secluded and pristine lake! Technical 4×4 action was needed because there was a near overheat, small river crossing challenges, and endless kilometers of lahar driving at full speed. It was like a scene out of Mad Max!

Solar for goats

We traveled so far into the impenetrable interior of Zambales where money means nothing and electricity means everything. Alex Pangan, a member of the Aeta tribe, wanted to get one of our camp solar panels in exchange one of his goats – because his goats were valuable to him. Alex literally owns one light bulb. His only source for light is walking one entire day to charge a 12v motorcycle battery, pay 20 pesos per charge, and hike back two hills behind the lake. He repeats this every week. He has 4 children and they use that meager light to study and do homework. He wanted to get the solar panel so he does not have to use his limited hard currency for electricity.

We respectfully declined his offer of a beautiful, unblemished #goat for #Solar panels. His story and his understanding of the importance of renewable energy were more than enough. We provided hope and energy in the Philippines through solar panels where it really mattered. Sharing light and giving power is what truly defines Solaric.

2019 TREND: SOLAR FOR BUSINESSES

Why Solar Energy Is Now Being Used for Business Operations

Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
February 11, 2019

Can businesses be powered by solar?

Absolutely. Actually, the reality is that businesses should be powered by solar systems. In the Philippines and in other countries, most businesses are alive with activity during daytime hours and it does not take a scientist to tell you that a solar system works best during daytime hours – when the sun’s rays are shining brightly. Back in 2014, Solaric installed a solar system for its first business establishment: a garment factory with Net Metered solar. It sells its surplus solar energy when they are shut down such as Sundays and holidays. On other days, they use solar as their primary source of power.

Give me the solar stats

In the typical solar system setup of today, batteries are no longer needed since solar is merged with utility power. The solar power is tapped first, the grid power is used second. If there is more solar than the grid, like on Sundays and holidays, the power is sold to the utility for credits via the Net Metering program. By law, there is a limit of 100kWp of solar for businesses, which is approximately 330 solar panels. Every 6 square meters of the roof with solar panels can produce 1400 to 1700 kWh of energy each year – or the energy content in a barrel of oil. For companies who want to be green and are focusing on sustainability, solar is the answer.

Cost vs ROI

The same area in square meters that you can cover with solar panels is the same area you can air condition for at least 6 hours a day by using solar energy. The capital cost of a solar panel system will be returned in about 5 years. In other words, your rooftop solar will pay for itself in under 5 years. However, the system will continue providing you with solar power for 25 years! It takes only a few days to install, without disrupting your business operations. Furthermore, it’s low-maintenance – meaning just a professional annual system inspection and maintenance cleaning.

The bigger things

Are you running a resort far from grid lines? Then solar vs diesel generators have an ROI that is measured in months – not years. It costs nothing to fuel and a lot easier to maintain. Solaric does 3 phase 230V, 400V, and even 480V grids for commercial or even enterprise systems.

Does it kill the bill?

Usually, when solar is installed for businesses, the bill reductions range from 15% to 70%. It all depends on how much rooftop solar was installed and how large the electric bill was. Various factors are at play in determining the size of the solar system that your Philippine business requires. Additional information is necessary. Daytime electricity usage needs to be analyzed. The electric bill is reviewed. The hours of operation and power consumption are considered. Actual measurements need to be made by a team of engineers and installers.
