Solar questions, answered.

Everything Filipino homeowners and businesses ask before going solar — from how panels work to what it costs and how Net Metering pays you back.

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells. These cells generate direct current (DC) electricity when exposed to sunlight, and an inverter then converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity for use in your home.
Yes — solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, although their efficiency may be reduced. They capture diffused sunlight and continue producing power even when the sun isn't shining brightly.
It depends on your energy consumption and the efficiency of the panels. On average, a 1 kW solar panel system requires about 100 square feet of roof space.
A solar inverter is essential — it converts the DC electricity generated by your panels into the AC electricity used in your home, ensuring compatibility with your existing electrical system.
Solar panels generally last 25–30 years, and many come with warranties for at least 20 years. Regular maintenance can help extend their longevity.
Yes — by adding a battery storage system, you can store excess energy generated during the day for use at night or during power outages.
The cost varies based on system size and components. On average, a 3–5 kW system can cost between ₱200,000 and ₱500,000. Government incentives and financing options can help reduce costs. For an instant estimate, try our savings & payback calculator.
In the Philippines, the Net Metering Program lets you sell excess energy back to the grid, reducing your electricity bill. The government also offers tax incentives and rebates for solar installations.
While it's possible for DIY enthusiasts, it's recommended to hire a professional installer. They ensure proper installation, compliance with regulations, and eligibility for government incentives.
Regular cleaning, checking for debris, and occasional professional inspections are usually sufficient. Cleaning can be done with water and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive materials.
