Why Choose SolarSwitch?
Why Solar?
Renewable energy comes from natural resources — like the sun — that are replenished continuously and never run out. For Filipino homes and businesses, that makes solar one of the smartest long-term investments available: reliable, clean power drawn from a resource the country receives in abundance all year round.
At SolarSwitch we make the switch straightforward from start to finish. We design a system sized to how you actually use electricity, handle the installation and permits, and give you a smart monitoring app so you can see how your system is performing any time. Every installation is backed by 5 years of after-sales maintenance — and we're here for the years beyond that, too.
The case for solar
Why Filipino homes and businesses are switching
Substantially lower bills
Generate your own electricity during the day and cut a large share of your monthly Meralco bill — for decades, not just a few years.
Protection from rising rates
Philippine electricity is among the most expensive in Southeast Asia and keeps climbing. Producing your own power shields you from future increases.
Backup during brownouts
Add battery storage and keep your essential appliances running when the grid goes down — a real advantage in areas with frequent outages.
Energy independence
Rely less on the grid year after year with clean power produced right on your own roof.
Clean, renewable energy
Reduce your carbon footprint using the abundant, year-round sunshine the Philippines receives nationwide.
A long-term asset
A quality solar installation is a lasting investment that can add value and appeal to your property.
Solar Potential in the Philippines
The Philippines receives strong, consistent solar potential nationwide — a typical 1kWp solar system here produces approximately 1,435 kWh per year on average, making solar a reliable investment regardless of exact location.

Net metering
Turn your extra daytime power into bill credits
Under the Philippines' net metering program, a grid-tied solar system can export the energy you don't use during the day back to the grid, earning credits against what you draw at night. It's a key part of what makes solar pay off here.
The application is filed with your distribution utility. Most customers apply themselves, and we're glad to point you in the right direction — or, if you'd rather not deal with the paperwork, we can prepare and file it for you as an optional service.
- Export unused daytime energy for credits
- Offset your nighttime and cloudy-day usage
- Most customers apply directly with their utility
- Optional: we can file the application for you
