Absolutely! Unlike traditional energy sources like coal, renewable energy is sustainable, because it is derived from naturally replenished and occuring sources, ensuring a continuous supply.

Solar energy can reliably power an entire household with a properly sized solar system. While your location is a factor, consider adding batteries to your solar system to maximize the solar energy you capture. Read more about battery energy storage systems (BESS) here.

The Philippines is a great place to go solar! The country receives an annual average of four to five sun hours daily, so solar panels can work efficiently in this climate.

Any potential savings on your electricity bill depend on factors such as the size of the installed solar system, participation in net metering, local utility rates, your consumption habits, and the quality of the system components like batteries and panels.

Maintenance costs depend on product warranties and your installation contract. Generally, if the system and its parts are in good condition, routine cleaning that can be done by users on their own so it can incur minimal or no cost at all.

Households can benefit from net metering, which allows them to sell excess solar energy back to the grid, reducing their electricity bills. Commercial and industrial users can take advantage of the Green Energy Option Program, which lets them choose renewable energy sources for their power needs.
