up ko lang ito, baka lang someone else has further input.

Currently looking into the kits/packages ng Solaric for grid tie, primarily because it's the cheapest i found online, meron pa ba ibang providers that have better offers?

Please forgive me pero initial research ko palang ito and i don't think i know what i'm talking about yet hence the preference to contractors versus bulding one.

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...

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.

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

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!

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

it's still my dream to have it but at current price medyo intay muna ako bumaba. last ng mag pa quote ako 700K for our home use, siguro in 5 years time baka pwede na i consider. Since our monthly bill is about 12K per month max.. and min of 8K

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

Ano capacity nung qinoute sayo dati paps? And was it already converted to AC? Or DC capacity qinoute nila? Para ba magkaidea ako if cost per watt has improved since you started this thread.
