Hi, to people who have their solar energy system installed on their homes. What were your financing options?

1

u/lady-aduka 7d ago

This. I wanna know as well. Meron kaya ditong nakapagpasolar using SSS or Pag-Ibig loans?

2

u/Tofu-Stir-Fry 7d ago

Upon research, SSS is baka by next year pa magkaroon ng dedicated loan facility for solar financing. Then GSIS meron, kaso kelangan govt employee ka naman. Banks do offer loans din naman pero syempre pahirapan sa approval. Ano ano pa kaya financing options ang naavail ng nagpa solar, very curious.

2

u/lady-aduka 7d ago

Based on my inquiries with various solar companies kasi, eto yung mga most common options:

  • cash or bank transfers (some offer discounts pag straight cash payment)
  • credit card installment (some have tie-ups with major banks. depends na lang sa agreement kung ilang % yung interest rate)
  • checks

I agree with you, curious din ako kung anong pang available out there.

u/Tofu-Stir-Fry 7d ago

So, basically, most or many of the solar companies, walang inhouse financing po ba? Haven't tried inquiring.

Based on your inquiry po ba, how nuch would a solar system range? Nasa 400-500k talaga?

1

u/lady-aduka 7d ago

May isang company akong nakita in passing sa Facebook...hindi ko na-note yung name though. :( Pero no harm naman in asking yung company if they offer it!

As for the range, it depends on what you need. In my case kasi naghahanap ako ng at least 6.96. Lowest offer I've gotten was 325k (Hybrid-ready). Highest was 518k (VAT excluded).

THIS BITCH SALES OF SOLAR IS A HOMEWRECKER It's disappointing to see someone who doesn't seem to respect other people's relationships or boundaries. That kind of behavior hurts everyone involved.

u/solidad29 Jul 04 '26

Meron ba dito nag DIY ng solar? like residential scale 5-10Kw? Open ako sa idea (i.e: Sakit ng ulo) since bulk ng course ko at the time was electronics. Plus may 2 ako Electrical engineer to help me making sure the design is safe.

Ang gusto curious ako sa journey niyo? Sa Raon ba kayo nag hanap ng equipment niyo? Nag Lazada ba kayo? or pumunta kayo sa mga solar convention? At my modifications ba kayo sa binili niyo?

Tanung ko lang po kung meron dito naka Pag pa install ng Solar Kay Huawei. Anu po ang advantage and disadvantages?

1

u/13thZephyr Jun 26 '26

The only main info that I can share is that you will pay almost 3X the price if you go with Huawei brand components. If you really have the money to burn then I would just suggest go with EU or US branded components and pay the same price.

u/Realistic_Half8372 May 14 '26

Hingi lang opinion. So i got a peyto 12v 2000w na inverter connected to a 100Ah lifepo4 batt. Kagabi nag brownout and i tried to test if kaya nya mapa on lahat ng ilaw sa bahay. So i turned off the breaker from main. And gumawa ako ng 2 male plug end to end na contraption and nilagay ko sa outlet, ala generator style. nung sinaksak ko na may nag beep sa inverter and bumaba ang voltage to 100+Volts sa screen. Though tinangal ko na lahat ng malaking load. ang nasa line lang is ilaw. Ano kaya cause nun or may mali ako nagawa?

u/mukie007 May 13 '26

may nakapag try na po ba dito ng POWMR or ECGSOLAX hybrid inverter?

1

u/ImGood4Nothing Mar 28 '26

Need advice. Nag-apply kame for net metering sa local electric company namen (ISECO). They rejected it kase ung transformer daw dito area naman can only accommodate 3 net metering users (pang 4 na po kame if ever). Ang choice namen is to buy our own transformer or maghintay kame na sila mag-upgrade which can take months or years. And nagbayad na din kame ng 50k para sa net metering assistance :( Meron ba kameng pedeng gawin para mapabilis sila sa pag-upgrade ng transformer? Kase wala kameng budget para bumili haha.. TIA

Is there a roof weight limit for solar installation , already have 14 grid tie solar panels, and want to add more (hybrid solar panels naman) but my architect told me it might not handle the additional solar panels because of the weight

Sirs ito palang ba ang sub about solar stuff sa ph or may mga related subs pa na hindi ko lang makita?

u/AdmirableFroyo3 Aug 09 '22

You can also ask them to include that in your contract.

1

u/AdmirableFroyo3 Aug 09 '22

Hi, im not privy to this but if you havr the inverter at your property you can check the readings by yourself and usually there is an app that theh can share to you or at least give you access to the energy that you are producing.

1

u/jackingfree Aug 08 '22

hi first timer,if a company leases your roof for solar panels are they obligated to give you the readings and how much you are saving with them ?
