SOLARIC SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: IT’S MORE THAN JUST A BUSINESS

SOLARIC SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: IT’S MORE THAN JUST A BUSINESS

Bringing light to the darkness

Bringing light to the darkness

Before Solaric started commercial solar operations, Solaric was tasked by NGOs to provide emergency power at relief centers after Typhoon Haiyan (also known as Typhoon Yolanda), one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded in world history, struck the Philippines on November 2013.

Yolanda devastated most of Surigao, Eastern Samar, and Tacloban City, bringing their inhabitants to their knees. All existing inventory was reallocated to relief efforts. There were absolutely no expectations of getting paid. In Tacloban and Malapascua, Solaric embarked on a mission to energize schools, churches, homes, and relief centers where there was no power, no grid, no diesel, no funds, and no government support.

We powered 3 public schools which doubled as relief centers, clinics, phone charging stations, VHF radio stations, and water filtration stations. Then Solaric powered hundreds of homes along the way. More than 4,000 people benefitted from our efforts. We covered 14 different municipalities from Ormoc to Tacloban to Daanbantayan in Cebu – all of which were devastated by the typhoon.

Solaric delivered power in the worst possible operating conditions when others would not, or could not. Since then, turning on the sun has become the Solaric mission.

 

We walk the talk

We walk the talk

The Solaric warehouse and distribution center located at JP Rizal Makati is completely off-grid. It was built from 100% recycled materials. It operates primarily on solar power and has a rainwater and aircon water collection system. Meanwhile, the Solaric Showroom located at Chino Roces Extension Makati City is running on a 28.5kWp solar. Another 3,000 square meter commissary is situated in Santa Rosa, where inventory for our nationwide base of installers and dealers are stocked. Solaric is transforming the nation, one rooftop at a time, by helping Filipinos welcome the era of solar energy and sustainable living.

 

What’s in it for you?

What’s in it for you?

The reasons are always the same. It’s worth it because, for the first five years, you get your money back, and for the 15 years that follow, you profit from it. It’s worth it because of the 30% to 75% decrease in your monthly electric bill. Most of the time, we forget the most important reason why we should go solar. Using the sun’s power reduces your dependence on non-renewable energy sources. This simply means you are using a sustainable source of energy without compromising the welfare of future generations. In essence, by going solar, you are helping protect the environment, the planet, and the future.

 

Every effort counts

Every effort counts

Climate change is real and a huge threat. We are not just talking about bad weather but a massive picture of life disruptions that will not only affect you but your family and the whole community as well. Every effort made to lessen our carbon footprint makes the fight against climate change more effective. By shifting to renewable energy, you are contributing to lessen greenhouse gases by reducing your carbon footprint. Solar energy systems are a great investment not only for our personal interests but for the conservation of the non-renewable energy sources and for the future of our planet.

THE BIGGER, THE BETTER

THE BIGGER, THE BETTER

Making the Right Choice:

Small Solar Panel System vs. Big Solar Panel System

 

The demand is unbelievable

Solar is in demand in today’s era of power generation. The Philippines, a tropical country geographically situated in the heart of Southeast Asia, has enormous potential for renewable energy, specifically solar. Filipinos are driving the green agenda forward.

In 2011, solar energy produced one-tenth of the global energy demand. Solar was becoming popular fast at the time. People all over the world were beginning to understand that the sun’s energy can be harnessed, using solar panels that can be affixed on the rooftop of houses or buildings. Soon enough, residential and commercial establishments started harvesting the sun’s power, thereby experiencing the trade-off when they noticed the 50% to 70% decrease in their monthly electric bills.

In 2014, the most influential companies in the world joined forces and committed themselves to 100% renewable power through the establishment of RE100. The collaboration was a global initiative that united more than a hundred influential organizations. Among these are Microsoft, Google, and Coca Cola. Since then, they have been working hand in hand in accelerating the growth of RE to transition us to a healthier and more sustainable world and future.

“In the Philippines, approximately 20 million people are in locations which lack constant and consistent power supply. About 12 million Filipinos are in power-starved areas, which have zero power supply. The demand is clearly there. Solar is not just an option – it’s a necessity,” emphasized Mike De Guzman, President of Solaric Corp.

 

The question is: does solar make sense?

The question is: does solar make sense?

It’s a perennial question. People talk about a safe, clean, healthy, and sustainable future. They talk about reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero. They talk about 2050 being a low-carbon-footprint era with efficient green facilities, e-vehicles, and solar homes. Imagine that as the destiny of the planet. The solar trend now is all about being a #ZeroBill home. Solar energy has definitely taken the lead in renewable energy in the Philippines, plus it makes financial and economic sense.

 

The next question is: does size matter?

The goal is free electricity, unli-electricity during daytime, or cheap electricity. Either way, people indulge when the deal is good. In any case, size matters – on the topic of solar – because size is directly related to the harvest which is directly related to the savings. With a solar system, the homeowner can be a consumer and producer of power at the same time. That means you don’t just use the power, you produce it too. When you produce more than what you need, you can get credits for the excess power that your system generates. Now with a small system, you will not generate more power than you can consume. With a big system, you can definitely generate more power than you can consume. With a big system, your surplus power goes to the grid and can be used by someone else, and you get credits for it. This translates to a lower monthly bill. That means you enjoy the benefits of your solar. So, does size matter? You tell us.

A large solar power system makes more sense financially and environmentally for some homeowners. Not only does an enormous solar system increase property value, it also greatly reduces the carbon footprint and contributes to a cleaner planet.

 

Breaking it down in simple terms

Breaking it down in simple terms

It is pretty straightforward and simple. Put plenty of solar panels on your roof and generate enough power. Then, export this power to the electric company through the Net Metering Program. In doing this, you get paid for the electricity that you will export. The #ZeroBill phenomenon is actually a benefit from being a consumer and provider.

WHICH SOLAR PANELS SHOULD YOU GET?

WHICH SOLAR PANELS SHOULD YOU GET?

A closer look at Tier 1 solar panels

 

Solar panels in the market

The market today offers hundreds of different kinds and brands of solar panels, making it harder to make the right choice when you go solar. Which panels are the best quality? What is the life span? Performance guarantee? Wattage? Warranty? Let’s take a closer look at the top, most reliable, and most efficient solar panels available today.

 

What is a Tier 1 solar panel?

The Tier 1 rating is commonly used in solar industry talk and business discussions. Developed by Bloomberg New Energy Finance Corporation, the Tier rating is utilized to rate manufacturers of solar panels in terms of financial stability.

 

What should you look for?

What should you look for?

Just like buying any product, you should assess based on quality, performance, reliability, innovation, value, and feedback from end-users. It is also important to check the warranty, efficiency, and degradation over the life of the solar panel. There are highly reputable solar panels popular in the Philippines, specifically JA Solar, LG, and Panasonic.

 

Poly vs mono

It’s also equally important to understand the differences between Monocrystalline solar panels and Polycrystalline solar panels. To break it down simply, it is really all about the cells. In the overall solar system setup, both monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels are made of silicon and perform the same function: the solar panels harvest the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity. Both kinds of panels are made from silicon. Before making your final solar system decision on which panels you should choose, you should consider the key differences between monocrystalline solar panels and polycrystalline solar panels – and it is not just as simple as choosing the cheaper solar panels.

Silicon solar cell: Monocrystalline solar panels contain solar cells made from a single crystal of silicon, while polycrystalline solar panels contain solar cells made from many silicon fragments melted together.

Monocrystalline solar panels: These are referred to as premium solar, because they look better, provide better aesthetics to a house, and they have higher efficiency. In monocrystalline panels, the silicon is formed into bars and cut into wafers. The cell consists of a single crystal, thus, the electrons that generate a flow of electricity generally have more room to move. This is what causes the monocrystalline panels to be more efficient. Yes, monocrystalline panels are more efficient than their polycrystalline counterparts.

Polycrystalline solar panels: These solar panels are multi-crystalline or many-crystal silicon. They typically have lower efficiencies than monocrystalline solar panels. The advantage of poly panels is their price, as they are cheaper than monocrystalline, thus making them more affordable.

Color: Polycrystalline panels have a blue hue. Monocrystalline panels have a black hue.

High-Density: Polycrystalline panels have a high power density.

 

Which solar panel is the right one for you?

Which solar panel is the right one for you?

In selecting the right solar panels for your home or business, you must consider the following factors:

  1. Price
  2. Panel Efficiency
  3. Size of Solar Panel System
  4. Solar Harvest
  5. Sun Exposure
  6. Roof Space
  7. PV Layout
  8. Number of Panels
  9. Roof Aesthetics
  10. Warranty

After weighing out the advantages and disadvantages, and prioritizing them in accordance to what is important for you, your home, or your business, then you can make the right decision on which solar panels are best and most suitable for you.

BEHIND THE SCENES: TECHNICAL STUFF ABOUT SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS

BEHIND THE SCENES: TECHNICAL STUFF ABOUT SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS

Solar panel mounting structure

Solar panel mounting structure

A solar system in the Philippines comes with a type of racking system or mounting system. The mounting structure varies and is dependent on the type of roof because it is what is used to fasten the solar panels to the roof itself. It is also what connects each solar panel to the other solar panels. Reputable solar installers only offer mounting solutions for solar systems that are storm-resilient and can remain intact despite sustained wind speeds of over 140 miles per hour. Most solar panels and systems are certified to withstand winds of up to 2,400 pascals. Yes, they are strong, powerful, and can survive typhoons and hurricanes.

 

Inverters

Inverters of solar panel systems or solar power systems are usually referred to as the brain of the system. The power inverter unit converts the direct current (DC) produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC), which is what is utilized by the household appliances inside the home. In a Grid Tie system setup, the inverter is also what connects the solar panel system to the utility grid (Meralco). There are many manufacturers and models of inverters available in the market, with different features and efficiencies and ratings, as requirements vary depending on solar system installation project. It is best to select an inverter brand and model that is most feasible for your solar array or solar panel system.

 

Installation

Installation

Who should install the solar panel system? Professional solar installers, of course. You should only deal with reputable solar companies who have established a long list of satisfied clients and who is a recognized leader in the industry. The company should have engineers, electricians, and installers who are solar experts, with thousands of solar rooftop installations to their belt.

All these technical variables also play critical roles in solar rooftop PV installations. It is important to ask questions about the solar company you choose, to help you make the wisest decision and make the best investment. You want to make sure you get the most solar value for your money.

HOW MUCH MONEY WILL YOU SAVE WITH A 5KWP SOLAR SYSTEM?

How to Know When It’s Time to Go Solar This 2019

Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
April 25, 2019

 

Fact tidbits about PH solar

The power capacity of solar systems in the Philippines used to be just 1 Megawatt (MW) on a yearly basis, from year 2005 to 2013. In 2014, solar power generation hit 17MW. In 2015, 139MW. In 2016, solar power hit 1,097MW. Then in 2017, 1,201MW. The power generated from solar tech is expected to triple in the coming years. The Philippines already hit more than 1 Gigawatt of total installed solar capacity in 2016, and the trend indicates this will continue to rise. A Rotterdam-based consultancy firm released a report in 2018 that the Philippines was expected to hit 3 Gigawatts by year 2022.

 

How much is solar this 2019?

As of summer 2019, the average cost of installing solar panels in the Philippines is approximately Php60 to Php80 per watt for residential clients. For commercial and industrial clients, the average cost of solar panel systems is Php50 to Php60 per watt. With electricity prices and the cost of living soaring, there’s never been a better time to go solar. Far from being a ‘one size fits all’ solution to your energy needs, there’s a solar PV system perfect for every home, business, and budget.

 

What is the ideal residential rooftop solar system?

The most recommended solar setup for homes is the Grid Tie System. This setup is perfect for homes in an area where stable power exists and is known to be the most efficient and fastest-ROI system. The grid tie provides solar power as the first priority power to be used during the daytime when the sun is shining the brightest. Solar power blends with grid power (electric company power). The grid tie system does not come with batteries and as such, is more cost effective. The excess or surplus power can be exported to the grid (or sold to the electric company via a program called “Net Metering”). This arrangement offsets night time power usage.

 

What exactly is a 5kWp solar system?

A 5kWp solar system is perfect for the average Filipino family. It is more popular than the 1.5kWp and 3kWp systems. The 5kWp system is commonly installed and fantastic for an average sized household with an average electricity bill of Php15,000. The 5kWp setup usually comes with 20 solar panels and one grid tie inverter. You would need to have the roof surveyed, to identify roof space and determine sun exposure, so that the solar panel system can be designed appropriately by engineers. Each panel is usually around 1.6m by 1m in size. The average monthly harvest (or, the power generated by the 5kWp solar system), is approximately 675kWh. Typically, a 5kWp solar system is suitable for families with daytime appliance usage of refrigerators, washing machine, TV, a few fans, gadgets, and a couple of aircons.

 

How much does a 5kWp solar system cost?

When it comes to solar PV systems, quality is closely tied to price. Good quality 5kWp solar systems range in price from Php300,000 to Php500,000, depending on the equipment brands and solutions that you select. It is also wise to ensure that your solar systems are protected. The system should come with warranty and client support, since it is in essence, an investment.

 

How much can I save?

A 5kWp solar system can save you about Php8,000 every month on your electricity, which equates to about Php100,000 every year in savings. These savings can now be used for more vital, critical, essential things such as education, insurance, or other investments. As with most products and systems, the quality of your solar system is directly related to how much money you will save. Higher, better, and more reputable solar systems are more efficient and therefore yield better results, providing higher returns on investment. All in all, installing a 5kWp solar system in your home translates to about Php5 Million in lifetime savings for one home.

 

Maintenance is easy, simple, hassle-free

Residential solar is basically low-maintenance. There is little effort required once the panels are installed. They’re easy, simple, and hassle-free. Solar installers usually provide a lifetime warranty and furnish homeowners with instructions on how to ensure that panels are working optimally. In addition, there are some solar companies that offer regular cleaning and maintenance on their panels at no cost to their clients, such as Solaric.

2019 IS THE HOTTEST YEAR YET – AND EXPECT THE PHILIPPINES TO HEAT UP EVEN MORE

2019 IS THE HOTTEST YEAR YET – AND EXPECT THE PHILIPPINES TO HEAT UP EVEN MORE

How Do You Know If It’s Time to Get Rooftop Solar?

REGINA ROME
Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
April 23, 2019

 

How bad is El Niño?

The weather is ridiculously hot and extreme. On top of that, it is made worse by climate change. They say 2019 is the hottest year in recorded human history. Even the United Nations confirmed in an analysis that the last four years were the hottest in terms of global temperature records, which is, in fact a “clear sign of continuing long-term climate change”.

So, it is in fact true. There is indeed an urgent and critical need for action to address climate change and global warming in the Philippines through the use of solar systems. Another striking fact is this: the 20 warmest years in history all occurred within the last 22 years.

Additionally, increased temperatures are also known to contribute to extreme weather conditions such as droughts, hurricanes, and flash floods. In the Arctic and Antarctica, even the sea ice cover is melting. Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are getting smaller. This is our present-day reality.

 

Translate this

Yet much of the world continues to rely on fossil fuels. This means that greenhouse gases will continue to be emitted and will continue to increase. Heat will continue to be trapped in the atmosphere. In other words, this means there will be more heat in the coming years.

“We cannot seem to make a clear, concise decision, especially when it comes to climate change and the planet’s future,” says Jade De Guzman, Vice President of Solaric Corp. “It’s like knowing the fire is burning hot, yet we stick our fingers in the flame anyway. I don’t know how else to put it. Clear and present danger. The Arctic will no longer have sea ice – and this is the first, in the last one billion years. The question is: are we prepared? What are we doing about it?”

 

Answer the question

Are we ready for the consequences of such a global occurrence? Such changes will adversely affect everything we know: agriculture, economics, climate, food, biology, life.

“The truth is, we can most certainly keep up with the pace of global warming. Simply by keeping up with technology. We know this, and we are aware of this. But are we doing anything about it?” asks Mike De Guzman, President of Solaric Corp. “Are you adopting a clean, sustainable, and renewable lifestyle?”

The goal is to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gases. The goal is renewable energy. Norway is already over 97% renewable. Half of Sweden is onboard. Germany recently announced that it is shutting down all of its coal plants.

California was the first to lead the solar trend. Last year, China installed more than half the world market of global PV. Yet, here in the Philippines, what are the homeowners, companies, and entire industries doing to increase their renewable energy usage to reduce waste and emissions, and transition to more sustainable living?

 

What about us?

With the Solar Adoption Act being brewed, the Philippines is clearly on the renewable path towards a more sustainable 2030.

“If the Philippines does its part to reverse climate change, our country needs to install at least 300 MegaWatts a year of solar,” emphasizes Mike De Guzman, “because for the world, they may be halfway through their renewable transition journeys but for us Filipinos, the solar revolution is just getting started.”

CASE STUDY: ANALYZING THE SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS OF CAR DEALERSHIPS IN BATANGAS AND CAMSUR

CASE STUDY: ANALYZING THE SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS OF CAR DEALERSHIPS IN BATANGAS AND CAMSUR

How Solar Beats the Economics Just Because of Benefits

Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
April 22, 2019

The nation first engaged itself with the solar trend through end consumers: the homeowners. Then, the commercial and industrial sector followed suit, recognizing and internalizing the economics of rooftop solar systems in the Philippines. These two case studies showcase car dealerships in two different provincial cities in the Philippines. Both facilities installed a 99.9 kWp solar panel system.

 

Car Dealership in Batangas City

In June 2017, a global car dealership’s 99.90 kWp solar system installation was energized. The system cost Php7.3 Million. Installation was performed in the course of 30 days. Annual savings were estimated at Php1.28 Million per year, with a projected ROI of 5.72 years. Analysis of its solar harvest in the last two years indicate that the system has harvested a total of 219.3 MWh (or 219,300 kilowatt hours of electricity). At today’s rates and economy, ROI may be achieved in five years or less.

 

Batangas City Environmental analysis

This is equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from 33 passenger vehicles driven for one year. It translates to carbon dioxide emissions from 17,450 gallons of gasoline consumed. It is equal to 359 barrels of oil consumed. That is 169,536 pounds of coal burned. That power can charge 19.7 Million smartphones. That same amount of power can provide the electricity of 27 houses for one entire year.

 

Car Dealership in Camarines Sur

In November 2017, a global car dealership’s 99.96 kWp solar system installation was energized. The system cost was an outright purchase of Php8.056 Million. Installation was performed in the course of 30 days. Annual savings were estimated at Php1.3 Million per year, with a projected ROI of 6.2 years. Analysis of its solar harvest in the last 21 months indicate that the system has harvested a total of 181.57 MWh (or 181,570 kilowatt hours of electricity).

 

Camarines Sur Environmental analysis

This is equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from 27 passenger vehicles driven for one year. It translates to carbon dioxide emissions from 14,448 gallons of gasoline consumed. It is equal to 297 barrels of oil consumed. That is 140,367 pounds of coal burned. That power can charge 16.4 Million smartphones. That same amount of power can provide the electricity of 22 houses for one entire year.

 

It’s all about protecting the planet

Homeowners, entrepreneurs, and business executives enjoy solar not just for its financial rewards, but also for the environmental pay-off. Switching to solar generates local and global environmental benefits.

There is enough mercury in multiple bodies of water to contain safety hazards. Most people do not realize that the primary source of mercury pollution is coal-fired power plants. With the dawn of solar power, there will be less mercury pollution because solar results in zero mercury emissions.

Solar is clean and safe, and does not cause air pollution. It doesn’t come from coal-burning power plants that emit gases that cause air pollution and smog. No harmful particles invade the air we breathe. Solar also does not cause thermal pollution.

Conventional power plants are cooled by bodies of water, such as lakes and streams surrounding it. This water thus gets heated, raising the temperature too high that it becomes destructive to aquatic ecosystems.

Solar has none of these results, effects, or consequences. Solar panels have no emissions. The systems are clean, safe, healthy. They do not contribute to any environmental problems, thus protecting the planet.

 

In a nutshell

To sum it up, both car dealerships in both provincial cities will be achieving ROI in an average of five years, making both investments wise, sensible, and feasible. Additionally, the environmental benefits are endless, making the investment a win-win for the planet.

2019 IS THE YEAR OF SOLAR DISRUPTIONS

2019 IS THE YEAR OF SOLAR DISRUPTIONS

Solaric Unveils the MACHO Box and Starts Talking

Unboxing the Macho Box

Unboxing the Macho Box

Solaric caused another mind-blowing disruption in the Philippine solar system spectrum this week when they unveiled the MACHO Box. What is it? It is the Mobile All Conditions High Output Box. In essence, it’s Solaric’s newest portable power solution, good for disaster management, military uses, electrification, and power support. There are three models: Macho 1000, Macho 2000, and Macho 3000, with variations in wattage output, battery capacity, watt-hour rating, size, dimension, and weight. The Macho Box is rugged and can withstand all types of outdoor conditions. “Any respectable man would want to own one of these,” says Solaric Corp.’s President Mike De Guzman (MDG). He subjected the Macho 3,000 to various tests as the audience watched in awe. The box managed to power an espresso machine, a refrigerator, and an aircon. MDG took it a step further. He left the aircon running, attached only to Macho Box power, as he sat there and entertained us during the interview.

 

What’s in store for us

MDG shared his vision for his company’s immediate future – and it was, as usual, filled with monumental disruptions. “I’m absolutely certain that 2019 will be the year of solar disruptions,” he told the audience. “All signs are clearly pointing towards the future that we don’t just envision, but one that we NEED. We need to realign our goals and create a fully sustainable and renewable future.”

 

It’s a lifestyle

It’s a lifestyle

MDG went on to tackle some current issues and concerns among the homeowners and citizens. “Everything is falling into place. Let’s just pray that Net Metering because easy and hassle-free. Let’s count on the policy makers laying down ground rules that make sense. I imagine a tomorrow in which every single Filipino will join the clamor for solar and make it their lifestyle – because of two simple reasons: you save money and you save the planet. Why would you need any other reason to turn on the sun?”

 

All about the sun

“Solaric is definitely not just about installing solar panel systems and delivering solar solutions. We promote a clean and renewable lifestyle. We advocate clean energy. Today, we spend as much time devoting ourselves to massive community outreach projects as we did when we first started.”

 

When asked why, MDG shrugged and replied, “The way I see it, in theory, we all live under one roof. So every night I go to bed and I dream of a sustainable future because it is the only thing that matters.”

SOLARIC DELIVERS THE ZERO BILL PHENOMENON

SOLARIC DELIVERS THE ZERO BILL PHENOMENON

The Solar Gamechangers Talk About How They Deliver the #ZeroBill

 

Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
March 21, 2019

 

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.
