Grid Tied System for 5 kW from Solaric

Grid tied system from Solaric







This 5 kW system costs P463,000 system from Soloric (excluding  installation of P28,000.  Grid tied means it is connected to the power supply from the utility and does not have batteries.  The system consist only of solar panels and an inverter.  When there is a brown out, there is no power.   It works only during daytime

This is  competitively priced system since the benchmark price is $4.17 per watt installed for off grid. So a 5 kw would cost about a million.  But the drawback here is that the payment terms is 50% down and 50% upon installation.

That is where solar financing comes in from Majorem Lending

The 5 kW system gives a net savings of about P8,000  per month.  and recommended for homes with electric bill of P15,000 to 20,000 per month.  Total electric production would be about P2.4 million over a 25 year period (600% return.)

Solaric portable power system

Their power generator consist of an inverter and battery and can run led lamps and an electric fan.  Costs only P8.000

SM North Went Solar - How about you?


The green switch at SM


The post featured the ground breaking move by SM to go solar.  They installed a 1.7 mW at the rooftop of SM north which is the largest so far for rooftop installation in the Philippines.  This would have entailed a huge cap ex.  That would be about $4,000 x kW and would have cost $6,800,000 x 45 or P306,000,000 a rather hefty investment.

The installation is enough to power 1,000 homes and consist of 5,760 panels installed atop the multilevel parking of SM North.

This is SM contribution to help avert power shortage in 2015, save electricity bills, , and contribute to green environment

SM Dasmarinas and MoA will be next. (If you are SM and you have huge power bills, you will employ the same strategy)  SM Marikina and Masinag will be redesigned too using Solar Energy

The supplier is Solar Phil, headed by Leandro Leviste, a 21 Yale student, son of Loren Legarda.

8 malls to be solar powered before end of 2014

Affordable power for the people

Rizal  Philippines  |  December 1, 2014



More and more commercial establishments and home are realizing the value of solar as a wise investment.  We invest only if the thing bought does two things:   increase output and reduce expenses.  Solar panel does both.

So it wa featured in Rappler that 8 malls will have solar power by year end of 2014.  These are:

How much can be saved from Renewable Energy system?

From the various literature and research this much can be saved:

1.  LED lamps  - 70 to 80%

2.  Solar panels  - 25 to 30%

3.  Solar aircon  - 40%

4.  Aircon with inverters - 30%

5. Solar panels with inverters, battery 48 VDC -  70% this is surefire way to save most on the aircon but is the most expensive.  A 1 hp unit could cost as much as P100,000 ( this could be explained by the added cost of batteries and solar panels for l hp - 700 watts)

      Solar panels  -  P60,000
      Batteries             20,000 each Germany made
