MAKE YOUR SUMMER SULIT WITH SOLARIC!

At SOLARIC, we have clients covering a wide range of professions. Meet Jasmine, the astute but easygoing real estate developer who knows the value of long-term investments and how to do things with style.

Coping up with the increasing energy rates and demands has been extremely difficult, especially during the peak of COVID-19 in 2020. Just like most of us, she was not able to travel as much as she wanted and was dismayed by the bill shock and energy costs to keep her family comfortable in the multi-year lockdowns.

Never wanting to worry about electric bills again, she and her family reached out to a trusted solar provider and finally used the technological energy prowess of Solaric to address the problem.

With their 11.88kWp grid-tie system, their previous electric bill of Php 40,000 per month was reduced to Php 20,000 even with multiple appliances and 14 air-conditioning units running during the daytime every weekend. That’s an actual 50% savings which they add to their travel funds.

A headstart in the new normal

Yes, finally things are changing, restrictions are easing up, and she can now travel as much as she wants to. With net metering, she still enjoys the benefits of solar even when she is not at home – because she banks energy credits to offset her evening consumption or even next month’s electric bill without the use of batteries.

Satisfied with the return of investment with the solar in their home, they also decided to put an 11.34kWp grid-tied system in their office. Now, she has a worry-free #Solaric grid-tie system on her roof to power her thoroughly while relaxing in their modern home and working in their office!

SUMMER AND ELECTRICITY HIKES? MAGPA-SOLAR KA NA!

The heat index in Metro Manila alone is recently reaching up to 50 degrees and we are not yet even halfway to the peak of summer months yet. It’s almost impossible not to turn on our AC-units, but with the worries of electricity hikes and rising fuel costs, how can we turn the tides in our favor?

Another Power hike this month

Just as expected whenever summer is approaching, we are plagued again by news of an increase in electricity rates not only this March but also in the upcoming months due to the jaw-dropping high fuel prices. The Philippines always goes through spikes in electricity rates and unstable energy supply each year. It has been reported that the power rates will increase by P0.0625 per kilowatt hour (kWh) this month which brings about an equivalent of P13 increase in the electric bill of a household with 200kWh consumption.

Instead of finding ourselves in this vicious cycle each year, it’s wise to explore good alternatives to reduce the financial strain caused by these instances. One way to beat the summer heat and electric bill terror is by investing in renewable energy, particularly in solar, by turning on the sun.

Investing in Solar Energy

By installing a solar grid tie setup on your home, the solar energy becomes the first priority home that your daytime appliances will use while the sun is up. You never need to worry in case there is no enough solar power since this system is interconnected to the grid, meaning your utility can supply any lack of power seamlessly. No switches or manual intervention required! Any surplus energy generated by your solar energy system is exported to the grid, which is then converted to credits and can greatly offset your night time and weekend consumption, through the Net Metering Program.

This is the reason why the grid tie setup is the most popular and most recommended build for residences and facilities within Metro Manila, to achieve monthly savings and faster ROI. A typical Solaric system can last for up to 25 years and more. Fill up your entire roof with solar panels and generate more power than what you consume – and you can even achieve the ultimate #ZeroBill! With solar, definitely no more tipid, and no more tiis. Enjoy a worry-free summer at the very comfort of your own home with Solaric!

STORMS ARE HERE: ARE YOU SOLARIC-READY?

You may have heard the news of La Niña being officially declared by PAGASA. And with the Philippines being in the typhoon belt and constantly devastated by typhoons all year round, it is always better to prepare for unexpected outages, emergencies, and disasters. So the question is: are you Solaric-ready?

Tip #1: Install a solar power system with energy storage

Solar energy systems can work even during brownouts thanks to energy storage systems or batteries. Although a generator can be a cheaper option compared to a backup power supply, they are simply bulky, noisy, produce toxic fumes, and completely dependent on fuel.

Although more expensive, hybrid systems provide a clean and safe energy backup to your critical loads when brownouts hit. It also provides you the flexibility to store power first in the batteries before exporting and selling any excess energy to the grid. Hybrid systems are not new – they’ve been around for years. In fact, Solaric has already installed hundreds of hybrid setups throughout the archipelago, and continue to see increasing interest from clients who are more into energy security and energy independence.

Tip #2: Get a PowerBOX

The Solaric PowerBOX is one of the most sought-after gadget this 2021 due to its portability and reliability. This small but incredible cube of 99Whr power, comes with its very own LED light, jumpstart cables to start up your car anytime, wireless charging capability, USB-C & Dual USB A Output and so much more!

Power up and charge multiple gadgets, power banks, or even your laptop! The PowerBOX is truly Solaric as it also comes with a foldable 20W solar panel and a built-in MPPT controller so that you can still recharge it with the power of the sun, even though you go completely off-grid for days. Get this all-essential gadget and 2021 must-have only costs Php 8,888!

Stay connected and on the grid with multiply solar and portable power solutions with Solaric.

TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS REV UP THEIR SOLAR POWERED AUTO MALLS

Solar panels in the Philippines have helped many companies save on energy consumption and aided mother nature’s recovery. Solaric has installed rooftop solar for three Toyota car dealerships to date: Camarines Sur (99.9kWp, 377 solar panels), Batangas (99.96kWp, 357 panels), and North EDSA (31kWp, 120 panels). The three facilities now have a combined total of 230.86 kWp, consisting of 854 solar panels, which now powers a significant chunk of its power requirements and daytime operations.

Toyota Camsur

The solar system of Toyota CamSur will incur savings of a minimum of Php1.2 Million each year. Energized in November 2017 with a projected ROI of 6.2 years, the CamSur dealership’s solar harvest was an average of 10,087-kilowatt-hours per month. In the duration of 17 months, that amounted to a total of 181,570 kWh. This translates to reducing its carbon emissions so that it offsets the carbon dioxide emissions that come from 70.3 tons of coal burned. This is also equivalent to saving 2,417 tree seedlings grown for 10 years, and 61 hectares of forests in one year.

Toyota Batangas

On the other hand, the solar array in Toyota Batangas incurs savings of at least Php1.3 Million each year. Energized in June 2017 with a projected ROI of 5.72 years or less, the Batangas dealership’s solar harvest was an average of 9,968 kWh per month. In the duration of 22 months, that generated a total of 219,300 kWh. This translates to offsetting the carbon dioxide emissions that come from 84.8 tons of coal burned. This equates to saving 2,564 tree seedlings grown for ten years, and 74 hectares of forests in one year.

“It is most certainly a wise and sound investment for car dealerships, because of two major reasons. One: the system pays for itself in 5 to 6 years. Two: operational expenses are reduced. It’s a win-win all around,” says Mike De Guzman, President of Solaric Corp. “Hopefully, more business executives and entrepreneurs begin to see that going renewable and installing solar is not only good for their bottom line – it’s also good for the environment.”

Is your business eco-aware?

Entrepreneurs and business executives consider solar panels for businesses with hesitation because they have little awareness and 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 need to 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.

Installing a solar panel system for the business is a wise, significant, one-time investment that provides energy savings for 25 years.

Germany and Its Solar Energy

Germany is one of the 177 countries (as of July 2016) that signed Paris Agreement. In it, countries from all around the world have agreed to actively fight global warming by reducing their emission of greenhouse gases. These countries, quite literally, want to save the world. In order to do so, we don’t have to turn to unrealistic solutions and extravagant technologies; the simple way to do it is to juts use more renewable energy.

Renewable energy

There are many sources of renewable energy: solar energy, where energy from sunlight is harvested and converted into electricity using solar panels; wind, which can be harvested using wind turbines (or windmills); tidal, which can be harvested by the turbines that spin from the movement of waves; wave, where seawater movement compresses air and spins the turbine; geothermal, where cold water is pumped into the ground and comes back up as steam which is used to power the turbines to create electricity; hydroelectric, where energy is harvested from the movement of water through bodies of water such as rivers, and dams; and biomass, where energy is harvested from chemically treating animal waste or decaying organic materials, but is only considered renewable energy if crops or organic materials are replanted.

Advantages

One of the advantages of renewable energy is that it will never run out. That’s why it’s called renewable – because the source of the energy is sustainable which allows it to be used continuously. The energy that can be harvested from nature is potentially infinite. Another is that when power produced by converting the energy is used, there is no waste products, unlike non-renewable energy sources that release pollutants or greenhouse gases when burned through to be consumed.

Germany’s surplus of energy

On the 8th of May, all of the power suppliers of Germany, from solar, hydro, biomass, and wind plants, were providing Germany with 55GW of the 63GW, or 87%, of the power being consumed by the market. Because of this overabundance of renewable energy, the prices went negative for a few hours, which means that the power suppliers of the country had to pay the people to use the electricity they were generating.

According to Agora Energiewende, last year, 33% of the power came from renewable energy, and they hope that the number will rise when they launch the wind turbines. Agora has also mentioned that every year, the share of renewable energy rises every year, and 8th of May showed that having a power system that supplies large amounts of power from renewable energy works just fine.

Germany aims to achieve 100% renewable energy by year 2050. Denmark is already generating so much electricity from their wind turbines that they’re exporting the extra to neighboring countries such as Germany, Sweden, and Norway.

4 Cool Solar Powered Gadgets

Solar power is known to provide cleaner and more sustainable electricity. Based on the increasing number of solar powered objects in the market, it is obvious that its popularity is growing. In fact, there are establishments that use solar panels in the Philippines and all over the world. It might be a good time for you to start using solar power in your house as well. Listed below are 4 devices that will help reduce your power bill and reliance on fossil fuels:

Solar Powered Flashlight

A solar powered flashlight is extremely helpful especially if you don’t have spare batteries nearby. All you need to do is charge the flashlight under the sun for a few hours—depending on the instruction of the product—and then you can use it the minute there is a power outage in your neighborhood. Truth be told, you may find having a solar powered flashlight better than a battery-powered one.

Solar Powered Charger

More and more people are discovering the perks of having a solar powered charger. Since it can be charged under the sun, you can simply leave it by the window sill or any sunny spot in your house. There are chargers that can store up to 5,000 mAh and most phone batteries are approximately 1,800 mAh. This means you can have 2 full charges from a single solar charge.

Solar Powered Backpack

There are a few companies who are making solar backpacks. Although they are rather costly, these backpacks come in simple colors, clean lines and an unobtrusive solar panel. They might not look too stylish but they do have a lot of perks. You can charge your phone, tablet, camera or any electronic device while simply walking around in the sun. They may look a little dorky but you can carry many things in these packs.

Solar Powered Cars

While it is not a gadget per se, these cars contain sports roof-top solar panels that concentrate solar power and provide hybrid plug-in benefits. The first solar powered car in the Philippines is called “Sinag”. It was inaugurated on January 27, 2007 at NBC Tent, Fort Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Solar powered cars are not commercially available but if the solar trend catches on, these vehicles may be ruling the highway before we know it.

Saving money is not the only goal of using solar power. It’s also about changing the world by supporting solar energy producers so it shows that solar is important to consumers as well.

Using solar power isn’t all about saving money. It’s also about changing the world by supporting solar energy producers and showing the government and power providers that solar is important to consumers. Some solar powered items may be expensive but that does not mean you can’t start powering your home with solar energy. If you have the devices above, you can charge your phone and gadgets, light up the dark, listen to music, and carry around your things with solar power. That is a great first step to a cleaner world.
