Solar Powered Home

[NightRock]

Anyone have done this on thier own house?? I saw in the news that SM North is now powered by SOLAR..(Anak ni Loren Legarda yung Founder)..

I'll been dreaming of this business to start more than a decade ago in Philippines, when I was incharged of installing thousands of solar panel in our Oil Wells in middle east for powering our data communication and transmission. During that time most of my staff are pinoys and they explain it to me how good it is but it needs a huge investment. Now I don't know where they are. I'm thinking to power my house thru Solar. I have 125 sqm garden and I'am planning to install Solar Panel on that area to cover the whole garden and it can also served as a roof (rather than putting the solar panel in the house roof).

Any one have tried this in philippines I have seen a lot of this in UK. Any one knows a good contracting company that can do this Job.

Search solaric philippines. May prices sila

Meron sa cavite, i forgot the name.

I think it's better if you find out more about which type you really like. Do you want it on-grid or off-grid?

Sayang, sa ibang countries like australia, pag may excess electricity ka from solar array mo, pwede mo sha isauli sa power companies (distributors) - they either pay you like they do power producers, or at least give you a rebate sa electric bill mo.

Yung renewable energy law natin meron nang provisions for that - wala lang talaga kwenta implementation ng executive department natin.

Imagine kung lahat ng bahay sa mga first class subdivision or village i required na mag installed ng Solar malaking tulong sa goverment yon nama bawas ng load sa power grid.

On my requirements I think it is better to have options on/off grid so during rainy days na mahina ang sikat ng araw I can still use normal power from Meralco.

Mahal kasi sir ang gumawa ng solar array eh. And usually talaga pag residence on-grid gamit.

Eto sir mahahalikan moko sa matutunan mo dito:

maraming episode yan.

Nagresearch na rin ako jan dati - pinakamura yung gawang china. In a few years pakiramdam ko magmumura cost ng solar energy system components. lalo na't nagkikick in na mass production.

[crosswind]

di na kailangan niyan
sabi nga diba ni Pnoy
Pano pag walang araw?

[NightRock]

nag kalat na nga ang mga Solar panel na made in China.. I think in few years time mag boom na din yan at marami na mag kaka interest na pasukin ang business na yan like CCT installer nag kalat na so pag dami ng demand and supply mag mumura din yan.. But for now I am considering investing on it but I prefered off grid nag research pa ko magkano ang preso ng mga good quality battery.. If only I can take those battery I have from my contractor hehehe kaya lang ayoko mawalan ng work better pay it on my hard earned money rather than stealing it from the company and lossing my job.

Hindi naman wise investment ang solar... how much investment nyo? And savings nyo? 20-30% Lang ang efficiency ng solar... If you set up a 5kw grid tie, and your monthly bill is around 4.5-8k per month ang savings mo nasa 1.5k Lang per month... Lalo na kung ang set up mo sa bahay Lang... Usually sa gabi ang mataas na load mo..

A 5kw set up will cost at least 400k, at 1.5-2k savings per month ilan years mo before mabawi yan.... Paano pa maintenance mo?

Mas malaki pa kikitain ng sari sari store na ang puhunan 30k..

Solar is only advisable sa areas na Walang power....

And is not a reliable source of power at night....

You need pa a lot of space.. For your panels.. And space and GREAT ventilation for your batteries... Delikado pa fumes ng batteries mo.. It could could cause cancer pa...

[glenn manikis]

Another sample.. How much is a solar lamp post? Ilan watts Lang ang pinapatakbo nyan? 3watts...
How much naman kaya ang cost ng kuryente mo in a month? Sa Isang 3w na bulb?

With investments or purchase like these, cheap shouldn't be a major factor in decision making.

Don't go for off grid with battery system. Go for on grid and apply for net metering from power company. With net metering, your excess electricity is passed onto the grid and credited to your monthly bill. This way you earn income from your investment. Remember, don't get a cheap system.

[glenn manikis]

Net metering Meron min. AFAIK may min. Load allowed.. Imo dapat 1Mw..

Minimum is 5,000 pesos worth of electric bill. It's required by law, I think. Different requirements for residential.

[L1quid]

Oh yeah! Good catch Glenn. May minimum ngapala net metering. A few months ago kasi bills namin were consistently in the 5 digit range. Pero when i switched yung mga aircon to those inverters types laki ng binaba. So instead of getting those 5kWp kits before, naisip ko siguro 1.5kWp then net metering sakto na. But now napaalala mo yung requirements sa net metering, it doesn't make sense for me any longer na ituloy yung balak ko.

And yes *walter, my plan was to get grid tie then net metering.

Thanks for the input guys!

[L1quid]

Teka yung may minimum ata na nasa isip ko is yung peak off peak program ng meralco instead of the net metering.

[Newcomer123]

Nasa 100 pesos per watt pa rin kasi. To power a mid-sized house, mga 350thou din kailangan. Tapos 10 oras lang mapakinabangan. Talo pa rin sa patuloy na maintenance...

Meralco pa rin talaga ang lamang. Kung gusto mo makatipid, ibaba na lang ang switch

[badkuk]

Me marecommend ba kayong locally available off-grid 100W solar power kit? i'm particularly concerned about the quality of the charge controller/inverter; OK lang ba yung China OEM?

[kagalingan]

Inggit much.

[kagalingan]

check yung video pinost ko dati. Yang battery powered homes.

sana talaga dumami magoffer nyan sa pinas para bumaba cost.

Kung madami na kayo kotse eh yan maganda next investment. The independence, the comfort.

Same tayo Sir Kags.. Na sana i-subsidize ng government.. kung feasible kaya yun.. Then sama sama naman tayo mag generate ng kuryente.. give back kapag may sobra sa kuryente na na-generate..

Checked prices recently at bumagsak na prices ng solar panel systems!
Any tsikoteer na gumagamit na sa house?
Planning to get from a QC company named Sungrow since affordable packages sila and mukhang reliable at quality installation. Any feedback din sa company?
