About Solaric
Solaric was an offshoot of our previous business which was providing back up power solutions to the
US Federal Government, one of our more notable projects was the battery backup system for the
Kennedy Space station data center in Florida. We first started experimenting with Solar PV in early
2010 but it was too expensive to do it without subsides.

About
Solaric Corporation
Our focus is to provide clean sustainable energy systems and energy conservation devices and appliances that are economically sensible and environmentally sound. We select and build our systems with the following criteria:
01
Must be affordable and provide best value to our clients. If our systems do not save you money on your energy bill, it has little value to our clients. Our aim is to reduce your power bill by using proven PV technology.
02
Must be affordable and provide best value to our clients. If our systems do not save you money on your energy bill, it has little value to our clients. Our aim is to reduce your power bill by using proven PV technology.
History
Solaric was an offshoot of our previous business which was providing back up power solutions to the US Federal Government, one of our more notable projects was the battery backup system for the Kennedy Space station data center in
Florida. We first started experimenting with Solar PV early 2010 but it was too expensive to do it without subsidies. In the past 3 years, the price of Solar and improvements of technologies have allowed Solar, in general, to be cost
competitive against Utility power.
We proved that the price of solar power makes economic sense by decimating our own electric bill with an aggressive amount of Grid connected solar power back in 2013 and worked with MERALCO to get the pioneer systems running
and done to world standards.Friends and close associates wanted our Grid tie system, so we did several installs, then Typhoon Yolanda happened. We heard horror stories of infants dying because of black outed incubators and
nebulizers. Our startup business was called to duty, all our inventory reallocated to relief efforts with no expectation of getting paid. We were tasked to energize schools, churches, homes, and relief centers in places such as Tacloban and
Malapascua with no grid, no diesel, and no government support. We delivered power when others would not or could not, and in the worst possible operating conditions. After coming back and installing truck loads of Off grid power
solutions that were used by thousands of Yolanda survivors, we came back tempered and hardened but our goal is the same - to provide COST EFFECTIVE power with free and clean renewable energy to be enjoyed by future generations.
Currently we are found in rooftops all over Luzon Visayas and Mindanao with more than hundreds of happy clients and installations. Megawatts of renewable energy power are now available for the common housewife, business owner or
factory owner to utilize.
We are now a recognized leader in rooftop PV installations around the Philippines by sheer number of installations, and pioneered Meralco's "Peak/ Off Peak + Net Metering" program.

Solar 101 Seminar
https://solaric.com.ph/solar101/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 6:59:25 AM

Capitalizing from years of installing solar systems in the Philippines, Solaric has developed an industry renowned weekend course on Solar Energy called Solar 101. It is a semi technical course that allows a lay person or engineer to understand the practical
aspects of solar systems and how it can economically bring down electricity bills, replace diesel generation and most importantly teach the average consumer or policy maker on what type of solar system to install in a no nonsense non biased manner. From
Housewives, business owners, Energy managers, and even other solar companies have made this a very popular course over the past 3 years as every chapter and page of content of this class is based on practical or actual experiences in solar projects in
the Philippines. It is uncommon for a company to divulge trade secrets in solar installation but our view is that quality fundamentals and techniques are needed to make renewable energy grow in sunny Philippines.
Please note this 1 day seminar does not teach you how to install. If you would like to get your hands dirty and learn how to do basic solar planning, design, and installation – then we would highly recommend our SOLAR 202 WORKSHOP which is held the

Hi Jade, Mike and the rest of Solaric Team,
Allow me to say thank for the opportunity to be one of the lucky participant of your Solar 101 and 202 workshop. The compressed 2-day workshop gave me head aches because to info
overload :) however it is one of the most amazing and fantastic workshop experience i had in years. I have learned a lot from Jade, Mike and Aris on the concepts, benefits and commercial
applications of harnessing the solar energy.
Overall, my assessment was you provided a well planned, researched and engagingly fun training. The bonus part was that I made new friends, expanded my professional network, met famous
people such former Senator Heherson Alvarez and award winning Coach Siot Tanquingcen.
Once again, a million thanks to Solaric! Continue the advocacy on knowledge sharing!! More power :) !!!

First of all, my hats off to your Solaric Group, through your great Leadership, for a JOB WELL DONE! the July 1 & 2 Seminar/ Trainings are more than just an eye opener to those who
wanted to further there curiosities with Solar Systems, they were also HIGHLY Informative and Educational. For myself, the seminars became an added fuel to my, already burning desire to
plunge into Solar Systems... for my personal use and ADD to my business.
The delivery of the presentations by you, Mike and your expert Engineer were perfect. Trainees Interactivity was alive, resulting to more understand-ability of all subjects.
Your forever smiling and very friendly staff, were very accommodating and attentive to everyone's questions, thirst for information or simply just to chat.
Not to be outmentioned :)... the FOOD were really good. I think I gained a kilo from the 2 days of pampering.
Congratulations po. Monies spent for this Seminar were ALL WORTH IT!!! and thank you, for all the Dealer Pricing, Reynaldo's and Andrew's brownout proofed calculations and the pictures, you sent.

Every Country in the World is Racing Towards a

Nation with 100% Renewable Energy. What About the
Philippines?
REGINA ROME
Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
September 15, 2018
All over the world, the race for clean, safe, renewable energy is on.
In the Philippines, the Renewable Energy (RE) Act of 2008 has led to the development of more energy resources such as a solar
panels priced in the Philippines. The law encourages the Philippines to increase energy sustainability and reduce its dependence
on fossil fuels. The goal is to shift to using clean and renewable energy. However, ten years later, we are still lagging far behind
from the rest of the world.

Figures on renewables
As renewable experts examined the globe in year 2017, they detected that renewable energy investment growth did not
matriculate from Europe or North America. Surprisingly, the renewable energy leaders originated from developing nations, such as
China, Brazil, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, and Argentina. Reports indicate China as the top of the list, with an increase in its
investment from 17% to 36% globally, which equates to a whooping $126.6 Billion in renewable investment. China is, after all, the
backyard to half of the world’s solar energy capacity.
What are the goals?

In California, the goal is clear and simple: all energy in the sunshine state should be from renewable sources by year 2045.
Although initially ambitious, the state is fast approaching its goal, with 44% of its energy already from renewables.

Solar power for homes

Let us explore the sunshine state’s strategy on their transition to the top of the list in renewable energy. How did California make
that leap and become the leader and trendsetter in clean energy?
Well, the state clamored for clean, safe, renewable energy. California was the first state to require all new homes to have solar
power. They brought solar power to mainstream and made it the trend, bringing sunshine into the limelight like never before.
Clean energy and solar power advocates emphasized that the reduction in power bills or electric bills actually made the investment
wise and sound. What people do not realize is that a solar powered home is worth much, much more, because it represents two
elements: lower energy bills and clean, safe, renewable energy. Perhaps the rest of the world should now embrace solar in the
same way.
Is it trending?
Well, Australia also launched a plan for its public housing pool, which involved the installation of solar panels and batteries in
50,000 homes within four years.
Solar panel prices in the Philippines and in other countries have dropped by 90% in the last decade and 50% in the last three
years. With the rates of solar systems at an all-time low, homeowners are now making that household switch to solar, along with
establishments such as schools, factories, malls, farms, and more. What makes the solar switch even better is the fact that
homeowners can benefit from the net metering program, wherein they are credited for their excess power.
With solar power as the cheapest source of renewable energy, it only makes sense to harness this sunshine and turn on the sun –
especially with today’s low-cost solar panels and affordable solar power for homes. The investment is a win-win, for homeowners
and entrepreneurs alike.

Solar Energy vs. Fossil Fuels

Solar energy through the use of solar panels is being used not only in the Philippines but also across
the entire world. People are now turning to renewable energy in an effort to save the environment from
global warming.
However, there are still some individuals and industries that prefer to use fossil fuels to produce the energy
they need for their daily activities. If you are unsure about which one to turn to, then you may want to
continue reading below as this article will compare and contrast solar energy from fossil fuels.
What is Solar Energy?

Solar energy is an important source of renewable energy. Basically, it comes from the heat and the radiant
light the sun produces. A wide range of technologies including but not limited to artificial photosynthesis,
solar architecture, solar thermal energy, photovoltaic, and solar heating are able to harness the sun’s
energy and turn it into solar power.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/solar-energy-vs-fossil-fuels/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:03:01 AM

The International Energy Agency supports the use of solar energy for it can aid the efforts to decrease the
causes of a worsening global warming.
What are Fossil Fuels?

These fuels are made through natural means; anaerobic decomposition of dead organisms is one of them.
Anthracite coal, petroleum, and methane can be classified as fossil fuels. These materials can be both
volatile and non-volatile.
They are not considered as a form of renewable energy because they take at least a mega-annum to be
formed and created. Fossil fuel reserves are also being exhausted much faster than new reserves are being
created.
Fossil fuels have high percentages of natural gas, coal, petroleum, and carbon contained in them. Burning
them results in a huge amount of carbon dioxide being produced in the environment. This chemical
compound heightens climate forcing which then leads to global warming.
Why Should You Use Solar Energy rather than Fossil

Fuels?
By now, you have enough information to support renewable energy like solar power than fossil fuels. You
could truly save the Earth from global warming and climate change. But if you need more convincing, then
here are more reasons why you should make this effort.
● Investment – There is a high possibility that you will see an economic shift from fossil fuels to clean or renewable
energy. HSBC is predicting that stricter regulations regarding the climate can be put in place. This would mean that
companies producing fossil fuels can be restricted from getting unused fuels that can be found underground.
Ultimately, this may result into their fall.
● Cost and Capacity – Solar panel installations are slowly escalating at a thrilling rate due to its cost drastically
dropping. It is expected that this development will continue in the future. On the other hand, the cost of coal and other
fossil fuels are rising because of the implementation of sterner environmental regulations.
● Jobs – In the United States, the solar energy industry is able to hire more and more people. A total of 20,000 new
jobs were handed out in 2013 by the various solar companies across America whereas the industry for fossil fuels is
slowly but surely cutting jobs since 2012. This could be another result of stricter regulations being put in place.
All the reasons discussed above should really be enough for everyone to at least consider using solar
energy (and other forms of renewable energy). Each and every individual has a responsibility towards this
Earth. All of us can work together to produce a cleaner and brighter future not only for the next generation
but also for the current one.

Understanding Solar Panels
Understanding Philippine Solar Panels

It’s great that the Philippines only has two seasons, the wet and the dry. Some people
would like it if the weather were more in between, but most of the time, it’s either a searing
hot day or a gloomy, rainy one.
The dry season happens from March to May, when students are on summer vacation and
people are out and about doing outdoor activities and hanging out at the beach. The wet
https://solaric.com.ph/solar-panels-philippines/ (1 of 8)10/4/2018 7:03:33 AM

season or the rainy season, on the other hand, happens from June to November; when it
rains almost non-stop and about 20 typhoons enter the country.
However, the sun never fails to shine on the Filipinos. This is why solar panels in the
Philippines are a great investment. The tropical climate allows for a lot of sunlight, which
automatically means that there will never be a want for a source of solar power. This has
its perks – not only will electricity bills drop, but solar power adapters can even sell the
power they generate, provided they have a surplus.
What are solar panels?

Solar panels (found in the Philippines and across the world) are also called photovoltaic
cells or PV panels. What these grids do is that they convert sunlight into electricity.
Basically, the sunlight is made up of particles of energy called photons, hence when the
sunlight shines on the panels, they absorb the cells, and chemical and physical changes
that happen to make sunlight turn into electricity. The electricity, then, travels to a battery
or the home’s electric grid for it to be consumed.
Consequently, the more light the cells or photons acquired, the more electricity is
produced. This is also the reason why the architecture of spacecraft include solar panels
so they can have enough electricity to consume – given that the sun is always up to
provide them light. Aside from spacecraft and home electricity, one can also use
Philippine solar panels for remote and commercial electrical systems.
How do Philippine solar panels work?

As mentioned in the earlier part of this article, solar panels convert sunlight into usable
electricity. These panels consist individual solar cells that are composed of different
layers: the phosphorous, silicon, and boron. The phosphorous layer provides the negative
charge, while the boron layer provides the positive charge.
Most likely, the solar panels in the Philippines work in accord to the photovoltaic effect. It
was founded by Edmond Becquerel in 1839. He experimented on damp cells, wherein he
found out that the voltage of the said cell increased when exposed to the sunlight.
The process in which the panels absorb the photons joining both the p-type and the n-
type semiconductors and forms an electric field is called the photovoltaic effect. As a
result, the negatively charged subatomic particles – also called electrons – are released
from their atomic orbits and into the electric current – thereby, pulling them to move in one
direction along with the positively charged subatomic particles, which moves to the
opposite side.
In residential infrastructures such as homes, the roof area can provide more than enough
room for the necessary solar panel energy that is needed to supply the electric
consumption of the residents. More so, it is capable of storing enough power supply for
electricity usage during night time from the unused supply during the day.
Currently, a number of homeowners have already shifted to net metering programs, which
promotes the usage of alternative energy sources such as the wind, biomass, and of
course, solar. Furthermore, it allows the owners to sell the excess energy supply, as
produced by their panels, to their distribution utility (DU), which for the case of many is the
Meralco in the Philippines.
This entire process is very much practical, given that not all Philippine solar panel
generator owners can consume the energy produced by the panels – eventually allowing
them to sell their surplus and contribute to the overall distribution of utilities to extend the
energy supply.
Where did the Philippine solar panels originate?

Way back in 1839 – precisely Edmond Becquerel’s discovery of the photovoltaic effect –
solar panel energy started to emerge. His discovery of converting sunlight into electricity
has allowed yet another discovery in regards to solar cell to happen; enter Charles Fritts.
He made the first genuine solar cell from coating selenium with a thin layer of gold. This
resulted to a conversion of cells into electricity by 1% – regardless, it started the
experiments on solar panels.
By the year 1941, the American inventor, Russell Ohl, registered patent over the
development of the first silicon solar cells. Fast forwarded to 1954, his invention led to
producing the first ever solar panel along with Bell Laboratories (the company he’s
working with). From there, the first application of the renewable energy source was the
space satellites, then followed by solar calculators by the ‘70s.
What are the parts of solar panel?

Philippine Solar systems include hardware parts that support and maintain its durability,
among these parts include:

● Panels
The panels make the most crucial and important part of the solar panel system,
hence, it is the most expensive among all parts. Usually, they’re the most
familiarized part of the system, and are often installed outside the home, most likely
on the roof area for direct access to the sunlight.
These panels are rated in watts. This is to measure the maximum energy produced
by the solar panel under particular circumstances. It may be between 10 to 300
watts, but the common configuration should be by 100 watts.
● Mounting racks
To put the solar panels in place, one would need the use of mounting racks. There
are three places people usually mount their Philippine solar panels; these are the
following:
a. On the roof area – the most common way for residential installations.
They’re efficient given that sunlight is easier to access, more so, it doesn’t
ruin the look of your home. The only downside in installing them on the roof
is that when its height is too high, then maintaining and repairing the system
can be a problem.
b. On the ground – mounting your solar panels on the ground itself can be
super accessible. However, there is a drawback especially if the area is
prone to flooding (or snow for other countries). Also, it won’t help to know
that there might be only a limited area to allocate the panels.
c. On a pole – some solar panel owners prefer placing their panels on a pole
for free standing setup, allowing them to adjust the height of the pole for easy
access during maintenance.
Regardless of where the solar panels are installed, it’s important to make sure that
the mounts are able to catch up with the movements of the sun – given that its
angle changes over the year.
● DC-to-AC inverters
Generally, inverters convert the direct current (DC) power from the batteries into
alternating current (AC) that standard home electronics and appliances use to
function. They can be off-grid, straight grid-tied, grid-capable, or stand-alone
inverters.
a. Off-grid type – these inverters need batteries for storage purposes.
b. Straight grid-tied type – unlike off-grid inverters, this type does not need
batteries to work.
c. Grid-capable type – this type is a combination of the first two inverters, it
can work with or without batteries; though, it depends on its system design.
● Disconnecting switch
The disconnecting switch allows the owners to turn the solar power system off –
under circumstances that are deemed important and requires safety precaution.
Most importantly, the switch should be implemented within the owner’s reach for
easy access.
● Fuse box and wiring connections

In order to connect all the main components of the solar power system; cables,
conduit, connectors, and fuse box are needed. These should be properly
connected to secure the system and of course, to ensure its performance efficiency.
● Power, utility, and kilowatt meter
These meter equipment help measure the amount of energy used and maintain an
accurate metric system in measuring the energy that the owner wants to sell to the
distribution utility company.
● Backup power generator
For solar power systems that are not connected to the utility grid, it is
recommended to keep a backup power generator. This is in support to occasions,
when the energy produced by the panels is low and cannot support the electricity
load.
What types of Philippine solar panels are

applicable for homes?
Basically, there are three primary types of Philippine solar panels that are applicable for
homes or residential areas, these include:
1. Grid inter-tied solar power system

This home solar power system allows owners to take the best out of both worlds,
given that the system is connected to the conventional electric utility grid.
Technically, what happens in this type of system is, whenever the system provides
more power than the electricity that is being consumed, the excess power can be
sold directly to the distribution utility company, which is also known as the net
metering program.
On the other hand, if the power that the system is producing is not sufficient to the
needs of the home, then the owners can always switch back to the utility grid.
2. Grid inter-tied solar power system with battery support
This type of home solar power system is the premium version of the first type.
Aside from the utility grid, it also includes batteries to back up the system. This
mainly protects the system from power insufficiency by charging the batteries with
the excess power that the panels produce, thereby storing electricity for emergency
purposes.
3. Off-grid solar power system
This type of home solar power system is disconnected from the utility grid, primarily
because the place is out of coverage. In this case, such system is often added with
batteries or power generators to back it up in case of shortfalls.
What can you get from Philippine solar panels?

Solar energy is important to mankind because the sun is a sustainable, green, and
reliable source of energy. With its power, it is a great source for homes and businesses
worldwide.
Fossil fuels are finite; hence, the reason why people should start embracing alternative
energy sources like the water, wind, and of course, the sun. Research also indicates that
fossil fuels are one of the main causes of global warming thanks to the harmful emissions
they produce that deplete the Earth’s ozone layer, which further encourage more people
to move away from them.
Using Philippine solar panels has proven itself to have many benefits. Some of them can
be seen below:
● It is a fact that there are remote areas that are not being reached and serviced by
DU. Therefore, they have to rely on renewable energy – such as Philippine solar
energy – to supply them with power. Through the installation of solar power
systems, costly installation and cabling fees of regular electricity distributors can be
avoided.
● The energy that solar panels harvest is sustainable and renewable. This means
that we will not run out of it anytime soon. According to science, the sun will
eventually burn out, but it is not due to do so for the next 5 billion years. This
indicates 5 billion years’ worth of renewable energy, enough for the next
generations.
● Solar panels don’t require a lot of maintenance. Once they are installed, all they
need is a checkup every year to ensure that they are in working order. If they are in
maximum condition, solar panels are known to last until 25 years and, depending

on the company, have at least 20 years of warranty.

● Solar panels produce no noise when converting solar energy into electricity. You
can go on with your usual business and not be disturbed as the solar panels do
their job. Also, solar panels don’t produce carbon emissions. This makes solar
panels a part of the solution to global warming and climate change.
● With the continual advancements in technology, solar panels are more efficient and
cheaper. Since they can be bought at reasonable prices, more people can now turn
to the green way of living.
● Moreover, it helps the owner to generate income from saving power consumption –
given that distribution utility companies allow selling of excess power. Not only can
one save money, but also earn from their solar power system.
What is the future of solar panels?

Technology and innovation evolves and transpires with time. As such, there will always be
great advancements when it comes to the science behind reasonably priced Philippine
solar panels and its role in our everyday lives. Solar powered cars, bags, lights, and a
multitude of other gadgets are currently in development from different manufacturers
these days. The shift is palpable, and the possibilities are endless – so what are you
waiting for? You can join in and invest in this technology today. Solaric is a company in
the Philippines that has taken part in this advancement. We ensure that we provide our

All About the Solar Panel System
All About the Philippine Solar System Panels

Human life has – and always will be – dotted with amazing feats of ingenuity and
adaptability through technological progress. One of their most innovative inventions is a
Philippine solar system. Their innate capacity for understanding and decoding the world
around us have allowed us to harness the resources around us to a significantly efficient
https://solaric.com.ph/solar-system-philippines/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:04:02 AM

degree; the Earth’s waters, its lands, its winds, and its exposure to the sun have all been
utilized in order to create power for humanity to enjoy.
A standout from the others, solar power has always been an august testament to
science’s talents; through photovoltaics we have unlocked the capability to turn the sun’s
energy directly into electricity. Know more about how this is done here – it is via solar
systems, (particularly those in the Philippines).
Energy from the sun

The sun’s rays are harnessed through Philippine solar panel installation. It is made of
photovoltaic cells, which are then made of a sandwich of two pieces of silicon. When the
sun’s rays – photons or particles of light – “hit” its surface, it manipulates electrons to
leave their atoms, thus generating a flow of electricity.
Function of Philippine solar system cells

The main purpose of Philippine solar system cells is to convert the energy of sunlight into
electricity. Photovoltaic (PV) is another term used for this. It is derived from “photo”, the
Greek word meaning light, and “voltaic” by the Italians meaning electricity. A group of
solar cells are called solar modules, and then the bigger portions are called solar panels.
Indicated below are two parts of solar cells.
● Inverter – turns the direct current electricity into 120-volt alternating current to
connecting to a circuit breaking in the electrical solar panel (in the Philippines).
Inverters should be placed on the exterior walls of the home near the sub panels or
electrical mains. Inverters produced by the solar electric system shall be consumed
by electrical loads currently in operation. During electricity generation from the solar
system, the electric utility meter will turn backwards.
● Net meter – can lessen the demand for power from the utility during the generation
of electricity by the solar electric system from the utility grid therefore decreasing
the utility bill. This type of solar-powered electric system are “on grid” or “battery-
less” making up the majority of the solar power systems currently installed.
Solar system panel information

The structure of solar panels contains different systems which adjust according to its
distance or location in regards to the sun. The peak hours range around 9 AM until 3 PM
where sunlight usually provides the strongest brightness, however, there are also days
when the sun is not as present due to weather differences. To combat this, some solar
systems are designed with revolving panels.
● Grid-tied solar system – is usually linked with the utility power grid of surfaces
that are situated on the grid intertie and are efficiently shared with renewable
energies. Equipping a grid-connection will enable you to save financially due to the
decreased rates, affordable materials and installation fees, and the net metering
which only requires low maintenance. The only requirements for this type of solar
system are the Grid-Tie Inverter (GTI) or Micro-Inverters and a Power Meter.
❍ Grid-Tie Inverter – affordable, low equipment and installation cost, virtual
battery

❍Micro-Inverter – located on the back of solar panels, expensive, efficient

❍Power Meter – can go to two directions (grid to house and vice versa,
requires consultation with local utility companies before installing.
● Off-grid solar system – used as an alternative for a grid-tied system because they
require battery storage and backup generator. Cheaper compared to other power
lines and is self-sufficient. The requirements of this solar system are solar charge
controllers, battery bank, and an off-grid inverter.
● Hybrid solar systems – the last type of solar system might be considered as the
best, combining the other types of solar systems creating a guaranteed efficient
solar system. To add to this, it is much cheaper than the previous two. Charge
controller, battery bank, battery-based grid-tie inverter, and a power meter are
needed for hybrid solar systems.</li>

system panels, you know have the choice to contribute to the environment by installing
one in your homes or businesses!

Solar Power
The Power of the Sun: The Inception, Evolution, and Impact of Solar Panel
Installation in the Philippines
Since the dawn of Industrialization, there have been various inventions that have made significant contributions to the world of modern man. As early as the late
19th century to the early 20th century, they have been introduced to inventions such as the solar panels and its installation in the Philippines, the steam engine,
the telephone, the locomotive, the automobile, various firearms, and most notably, the light bulb. The latter invention has helped change the course of livelihood
due to the one thing that serves as the foundation for modern innovation: electricity.
Electricity has helped power the world known by many. It serves as a catalyst for anything that has to do with people’s basic needs and convenience. However,
https://solaric.com.ph/solar-panel-installation-philippines/ (1 of 11)10/4/2018 7:04:49 AM
nowadays, it comes at a high cost. Since the dawn of the new decade, electricity costs have risen to high prices. With a vast number of electronics available for
use, mass consumption of power is almost unavoidable. Electricity has powered people’s lives to the point of it being a part of any household and industry, which
in turn can cause massive increases in electricity costs worldwide. Not only that, electricity has helped in the progression of machineries across the world, which
unfortunately is affecting the environment negatively. This matter has then been the subject of debate for a number of years.
It is true that industrialization has helped shape the world into what it is today. However, while there are massive amounts of progress for people all throughout,
there is just as much repercussion for the environment. Since the dawn of industrialization as a whole, numerous factories and machineries that elicit the use of
non-renewable sources of energy has introduced another thing that’s all too familiar to the masses: pollution.
Pollution has proved to be a pain in the world. It is ruthless against all forms of plant life; and humans are of no exception as well. When somehow consumed –
particularly air pollution — the results can be disastrous and devastating. Luckily, with the ever-changing needs of every citizen of every country, numerous
alternative sources of energy have been introduced, one of which is the ultimate focus of what you’re reading: solar energy or ‘solar power.’

What is Solar Power?

For as long as one can remember, every notion about power and how it works for others has been a matter of concern for so long, with it not getting any easier
due to other concerns raised by pollution. With solar power, however, all those concerns can certainly be put to rest.
Solar Power, in its entirety, is energy harnessed from the sun. The sun is considered a major catalyst of energy as it provides two components of power: heat and
light. The former focuses on how energy runs, while the latter gives emphasis on how it is produced. Without heat, there would be no friction, which in turn can
lead to no light being produced.
Take for instance a campfire. To start it, heat will be a key issue as you’d need a firestarter and something to serve as kindling. When you apply heat, light will be
produced, therefore illuminating the area around you.
That is a notable example of what solar power is and how it works. With heat and light converted into energy, a pollution-free world is certainly in the works.
Now that you have an idea of what solar power is and how it works, let’s go ahead and move on to how it came to be.

The Inception of Solar Power

The notion of converting heat and light into energy may seem like a new idea, but truth be told, it’s an idea that’s been presented many generations ago. In order
to trace back its earliest known instance, one must date it back to the mid-19thcentury.
As early as 1839, a certain somebody known as Alexandre Edmond Becquerel discovered an effect known as the “photovoltaic effect.” This effect allows the
process of converting solar rays into energy by combining two dissimilar objects to produce an electrical voltage when struck by light. This method remains as a
core foundation to modern solar power to this day.
Anyway, that discovery was later put into practice and eventually came into light in the year 1876, when William Grylls and Richard Day discovered that when
selenium was exposed to light, electricity was produced. With Thomas Edison’s contributions about to take the stage, Grylls and Day’s discovery would eventually
fall in tandem with Edison’s accomplishment. Though the selenium cells were not as efficient, Grylls and Day has shown that light can be converted into electricity
through this mean.
Fast-forward to 1953, three men known as Calvin Fuller, Gerald Pearson, and Daryl Chaplin has made their own discovery that would eventually become another
key component in accessing solar power: the silicon solar cell. This cell was powerful enough to produce electricity to run small electrical devices. With technology
gaining advancement during that era, the power of the sun was soon to be unleashed for mankind to utilize everywhere.

The Evolution of Solar Power

It wasn’t until 1956 when solar cells became available for commercial distribution and sales. At that time, everyone had a chance to avail for this innovation in
energy consumption. However, a 1-watt solar cell was being sold at $300, meaning there were only a select few who could afford it.
Also in the ‘50s to the early 60s, significant changes have been observed since its inception over a century ago. Space programs from the USA and the Soviet
began utilizing the power of solar cells to power their numerous satellites, which became a staple method by the late 1960s.
By the 1970s, the price of solar panels (in the Philippines and across the world) saw a dramatic decrease. From the standard $100 per watt to just $20 per watt. It
was then that solar power, after years and years of development and setbacks, was on its way to becoming one of the world’s most well-known branches of
utmost innovation. Also, at this time, numerous plantations and corporations began availing for this source of energy.
From then on to the 1990s, the use of solar cells began to spread worldwide. Numerous oil rigs began using solar cells to power their warning lights, further
making it more convenient and safer for practitioners in the industry to perform well in any field. Numerous neighborhoods in that era also began utilizing solar
cells to provide power to numerous homes in remote places. Telecommunications were also strengthened by solar cells and, little by little, places where line
connectivity wasn’t an option began to gain access to electricity thanks to this innovative approach to power. It just goes to show that with the evolution of time,
there is bound to be change and progress.

The Impact of Solar Power

Since its inception numerous generations ago, the impact that solar power brought has been astounding. Not only has it become widely available for use, but
many have chosen to avail for solar power due to its efficiency and safety to the environment.
Nowadays, you’ll never have a hard time looking for this kind of technology, since solar panel can now be found everywhere. In fact, numerous individual homes
have begun to avail for panels of their own. Because of this, residents of any neighborhood also began to notice a drastic change in their monthly electrical billing
statements, with almost a 50% reduction in their power expenses.
The impact of solar power is nothing short of profound, especially through the years. In fact, the first signs of impact towards the masses were the installation of
these power modes on small objects such as toys and radios. As time goes on, more and more objects of increasing size became the subjects of solar power
installation (in the Philippines and across the world), eventually making its way into people’s homes. Solar power has also made its way to the world of
automobiles and technology as many of their products and other offerings have been installed with solar panels, further cementing the worldwide impact
of Philippine solar energy.
Particularly in the Philippines, solar panel installation has become a common occurrence with its citizens. Numerous electrical companies and plantations (e.g.
Meralco) have also begun to adapt to the growing demand of alternative sources of energy. Not only that, but the government has also begun to further implement
certain policies that entail the contributions of solar power, while, in the process, also working to completely discard the use of old and outdated sources of energy.
An example of this is the country’s current situation on public transportation. Recently, with the introduction of solar power and newer and safer models of
vehicles, the government is now working to call for a total replacement for these vehicles, which has been met with mixed reactions from both citizens and those
involved with the transportation industry.
Solar power is indeed one thing that will continue to meet the demands of every citizen of the country. And with its prowess in providing electricity to every home,
infrastructure, and device for everyone’s needs and convenience, it will be of no surprise that solar energy will be here to stay for generations to come.

Advantages of Solar Panels Installations in the Philippines

Now that its inception, evolution, and impact have been discussed, it is now time to weigh in the advantages and disadvantages of solar power.
Starting with the former, it has provided an abundance of benefits for everyone who uses them. From low cost to energy saving, here are some other advantages
that one can gain from solar power:
● Flexible Applications
When one thinks of applying solar panels, the first area that would come to mind would be the roof or any area of a slightly higher height or altitude. While it
may be ideal, there are other areas that you can apply Philippine solar panels too. As long as they are exposed to the sun, the panels will do the rest.
● Unlimited Supply of Energy

While other sources of energy have been stipulated as just as effective, they are also known to eventually run out as time goes on. With solar energy,
however, you won’t have to worry about running out of it for a long time. As the sun shines, so does your world.
● Long Lasting
The most notable advantage of solar power is that with its limitless capacity and endurance against any elemental condition, there is no doubt that solar
power will continue to power generations after generations.

Disadvantages of Solar Power

For the latter, while solar power can provide you with an abundance of benefits, there are an equal number of disadvantages that can befall on you in any
situation. Here are some of them:

● High Costs
While availing for it can be simple, it’s the matter of being able to afford it that’s proven quite difficult for many. Solar power is becoming a fast commodity for
everyone that it is no surprise that it has helped others gain a huge advantage in profit. With varying expenses to be paid at reasonable prices, solar power
certainly does not come cheap.
● Risk of Damage
Like any other item of possession, solar panels are also at risk of damage. When not taken care of properly, it can lead to various amounts of damage to
certain degrees.
● Issues on Space
While applications for solar panels can be as flexible as you wish, there’s always the matter of space and its limits. While solar energy is unlimited, spaces
and dimensions for your solar panel installation in the Philippines aren’t.
Key Takeaway
So there you have it. Everything you need to know about solar power. With its origins dating back to the late 19th century and its advancements towards modern
society, there is no doubt that solar power has left a lasting impact on society.

Fighting Global Warming With

[Reasonably Priced] Philippine Solar
https://solaric.com.ph/solar-panel-price-philippines/ (1 of 7)10/4/2018 7:05:19 AM
Panels
The green movement has now become more prevalent than ever. Various governments
and authoritative bodies are putting all they can in an effort to save the planet and
everyone in it from the heavy environmental disasters that have devastated the world
(which have been prevalent in recent years). Many countries have been affected by them
– including the Philippines. Because of this, the price for solar panels, environmentally-
friendly materials, and energy efficient electrical equipment is reaching its best point. This
is the main reason why prices of Philippine solar panels have become reasonable.
What is Global Warming?

Both global warming and climate change are effects of man’s nonchalance to the
consequences of their actions in the name of advancement and progress. The effects of
using coal, oil, and gas power plants to power the cities, and of course the emissions of
the millions of cars used by people around the world, are no longer insignificant as these
continue to deposit greenhouse emissions that only continue to warm the Earth.
Global warming is the effect that comes with the atmosphere having considerable levels
of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), or nitrous oxide
(N2O)) – an abundance of which results in the average temperature of Earth’s surface to
increase.
On the other hand, climate change is more geared towards the long term – it is the
permanent side-effect of global warming, wherein the climate of the Earth in some region
changes permanently. Both of them are what’s causing the alarming changes in the
Earth’s environmental behavior, most of which have turned for the worse.
On the other hand, climate change is more geared towards the long term – it is the
permanent side-effect of global warming, wherein the climate of the Earth in some region
changes permanently. Both of them are what’s causing the alarming changes in the
Earth’s environmental behavior, most of which have turned for the worse.
The term global warming was first used in 1975 in a science article by Wallace Broecker,
a geochemist from the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory of Columbia University.
The title of the article was “Climatic Change: Are We on the Brink of a Pronounced Global
Warming?”
Short History of Global Warming

Various studies and research have been done about climate change since the late 19th
century. During this period, until the 1970s, scientists have begun to look further into the
various matters regarding climate change. These matters include the use of gases,
emission of carbon dioxide, the industrialization of various countries, deforestation,
urbanization, and the possibility of the world’s ice melting.
As pollution began to rise over the course of the 20th century, various groups have raised
awareness, which led to the celebration of the first Earth Day in 1970. This day is not only
dedicated to the preservation of the environment, but also to spread the word regarding
the change needed to help the earth’s environment.

In the period of 1972-73, countries like India, Ukraine, and the continent of Africa
experienced famine and drought, while the oil-producing countries experienced an energy
crisis due to the increasing demand and price. During this decade, scientists and
researchers saw climate change, specifically global warming, as something that may
become a threat to the world in the following decades.
As a response to this global issue, countries and governments all over the world began to
establish organizations and hold conferences that would not only help prevent the rise of
climate change, but also find ways to preserve the environment, and look for
environmentally-friendly solutions.
In 1971, scientists across the globe held the SMIC Conference, which called for the
increased effort to do further research on the effects of climate change. In 1979, the World
Climate Research Program was established to give a more in-depth look at the causes
and effects of climate change to different parts of the world.
In 1987, the Montreal Protocol, which was a part of the Vienna Convention, called for
international restrictions on the usage and emission of gases that damage the ozone layer
of the earth’s atmosphere. Another conference, which was held in Toronto, also called for
the limiting of greenhouse gases. In the same year, the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change was created, which helped increase awareness in regards to climate
change.
Their first report, which was released in 1990, found out that the world has been warming,
with the possibility of this continuing in the future. A second report done in 1995 detected
the signature of human-used greenhouse gases.
In Asia, the Kyoto Protocol established in 1997, which asked industrialized nations to
lessen their emission of greenhouse gases. In the following year, most of the world
experienced the “Super El Nino,” which became one of the warmest years on record.
Further reports by the IPCC during 2001 and 2007 indicate that the world is feeling the
adverse effects of climate change as time passes, and that further damage might be done
in the future. By 2005, the effects of the Kyoto Protocol have been put into action, with
various industrial nations lessening their use of greenhouse gases.
While these efforts have been effective in cutting down the usage of greenhouse gases,
global warming is still happening, and a global-scale solution was needed. In 2015,
nations around the world met and joined in the Paris Agreement. All participating nations
in this event have pledged to lessen the usage of greenhouse gases, while also reporting
their progress.

What are the Cause and Effect of Global

Warming?
During the early years of climate change research, people did not catch on because even
though scientists believed that humans could cause climate change, they didn’t know
what direction it would take and which would overpower the other. For one, aerosols from
industrial emissions might cause some cooling, while greenhouse emissions might cause
warming. It was also known as “inadvertent climate modification,” but that term was
dropped in 1979 when the National Academy of Science published an article about the
impact of carbon dioxide to the climate, saying that if carbon dioxide levels in the
atmosphere continued to rise, there would be no reason for them to doubt that it will result
in climate change.
The change in temperature isn’t the only effect of global warming, either. Such natural
imbalance will also cause changes in the expected patterns of precipitation and sea
levels, and they have a more severe impact on humans. Global warming also affects plant
and animal life, as the changing temperatures may cause various species of plants and
animals to die out. This effect has already been experienced earlier by the earth as well,
as the world once experienced the Ice Age, which was a period when the world’s
temperature was at an all-time low. For the world not to experience an era of ice-cold
temperatures or massive droughts, it is now the time to embrace renewable energy
resources.
Since people all around the world are now taking active and preventive measures in order
to keep the potentially dangerous temperature rises at bay, green technology’s popularity
is definitely reaching new heights. Investments in renewable energy have skyrocketed,
which allows the world’s current scarce resources to stay itself for a little longer, while
renewable technologies such as solar, wind, geothermal, or hydro power pick up some of
the slack.
What is Renewable Energy?

With the rise of global warming, countries all over the world have sought for more
renewable energy sources. By definition, renewable energy is a form of energy that is

generated from natural resources. These natural resources include sunlight, wind,
geothermal energy, and water. Unlike most forms of resources, they can be renewed and
cannot be exhausted. Examples of renewable energy sources include geothermal plants,
wind turbines, hydroelectric power plants, bio fuels, and solar panels.
Today, most countries in the world still rely on traditional power sources like coal, oil, and
natural gases. These are resources that will dwindle over the next few years, and
acquiring these resources tend to damage the environment as well. Renewable
resources, meanwhile, can be procured in a more safe and clean manner.
Most of the world’s renewable energy resources rely on the sun. The heat of the sun is
what causes winds to happen, therefore being the main contributing factor in wind power.
The wind and the heat are also responsible for causing water vapors which create bodies
of water like rivers, which are the main source of hydroelectric plants. Sunlight also helps
plants to grow as well, helping create organic matter called biomass. Biomass is material
that can be used for organic fuels, chemicals, and even electricity. Finally, the heat of the
sun alone is also what makes solar energy work. This energy can be used for heating,
electricity, and much more.
Other forms of renewable energy include geothermal, hydrogen, and tidal energy.
Geothermal energy is energy that uses the Earth’s natural heat for heating and electricity
purposes. Tidal energy is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun to the
Earth. Tidal energy can also be caused by the winds, and the sun’s heat can also cause a
change in temperature, which can all be used to produce electricity.
The biggest advantage of using renewable energy is that the resources that are used to
make them work are reusable. And unlike traditional energy sources, you would not
compromise the environment. With these energy sources, you are guaranteed to not only
help the environment, but also have a reliable power source.

How to Utilize Solar Power and Reasonably

Priced Solar Panel in the Philippines?
One of the most popular and the easiest way to adapt to renewable energy is through
solar power, which utilizes the power of the sun and continually turns its heat into usable
electricity. It functions on the science of photovoltaics. With the continuous rays of the sun
always shining, people will never want for more. For tropical countries, this heavy amount
of sunlight really comes in handy. Many countries in the world have utilized solar power,
with a good percentage of their total power usage coming from it.
These countries include Germany, which is the world’s biggest user of renewable energy,
Japan, which was the first country to reach 10 GW in terms of renewable energy usage,
and the United States of America, which is one of the countries that have seen a rapid
rise in development when it comes to renewable energy. With these countries paving the
way for the use of green energy, it is now the best time for the rest of the world to follow.
One of the countries that have the potential to harness renewable energy sources, like
solar energy, is the Philippines.
The Philippines is situated near the equator and this means that it receives almost 12
hours of sunlight every day. With the country having a steady source of sunlight, it would
be a shame not to convert all of that sunlight into energy. It would be a great investment to
acquire solar panels to use for the home, as it can help control the energy consumption
and not rely on the expensive electricity provided by the national grid. Solar
panels produce no kind of harmful emissions, as there is no fuel being burned to generate
electricity.
It can also reduce the cost of energy consumption as the home is only connected and
consuming electricity from the grid at night, when there is no sunlight. Having more
Philippine solar panels installation will also help national power plants to save a good
amount of their energy.
With the many advantages that solar panels hold, even the national electricity provider
supports its usage. Meralco has also implemented a Net Metering Program, which means
that households that rely on solar energy to power their homes during the day can sell the
excess electricity generated by their solar panels. The excess energy put back into the
grid from the solar panels is credited from their bill, further lowering their energy costs.
This is to comply with the Renewable Energy Act of 2008. This is a Republic Act, which
promotes the use of renewable energy sources for many different purposes.
More and more people are looking into investing in solar panels, not just for large
companies, but also for homes. It’s a long term investment that will benefit the
homeowner, their neighbors, and the entire world. Along with the environmental benefits,
solar panels will also help you spend less on electricity. For those, who want to install
solar panels in their homes, can look forward to joining the fight to stop global warming,
helping the Earth become much cleaner, one panel at a time.

green movement
It is a political idelogy that celebrates the natural world. Its history dates
back to the medieval era in the European countries of England, France,
and Germany. However, it only gained more attention after the Industrial
Revolution, when pollution is quite rampant.
By this time, people have started to realize the implications of their actions
to the natural resources and began looking for ways to conserve them.

REGINA ROME
Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
September 15, 2018
Solar delivers Php5 Million in lifetime savings for the average Filipino homeowner. With a minimal investment, the benefits and
returns are not just financial – there is a legitimate and significant cause: saving our planet.
In selecting the right solar provider and choosing a solar system in the Philippines, the homeowner’s goal should be to seek one
that can manage the entire process efficiently and flawlessly, from start to finish – from site inspection to installation to solar
harvest monitoring to maintenance.

The Philippine market has declared a green light on solar

With the solar industry experiencing explosive growth in the last ten years locally and globally, solar power for homes is becoming
the number one solution to power. Solar PV installations have been taking the country to new heights in renewable power. As a
bonus, homeowners with solar are witnessing their properties increase in value aside from becoming more energy efficient.
Do you want to reduce your costs?

Efficiency is really the target bottom line. Is there a need to lower your monthly utility bills? Do you need to reduce the amount of
power your pay for? Are you willing to make that one-time wise business and environmental investment? Do you want to increase
revenue? As a homeowner, do you have a valid reason to install solar?

How to get started

The typical process begins with the homeowner requesting for a site inspection (or home inspection). The solar professionals now
examine the site, roof, solar capacity, surrounding area, and evaluate the solar project potential or capability. They analyze the
power bills of the past months. They determine the most appropriate solar panel installation for the home. They design a solar
system that could produce enough power to meet the home’s consumption or usage. The entire process is technical but direct.
How to choose the right solar provider

It is typical for homeowners to gather bids for their solar requirements. Through discussions with various solar companies, the
homeowner gains a greater understanding of solar and a wider perspective of its advantages in the long run. Homeowners are
also looking for the most cost-effective. It is most important to find the best value in the ocean of numerous solar providers. Yet,
although many solar companies offer exceptional engineering and design capabilities, what homeowners are truly looking for is a
long-term solar partner. Which solar company can deliver on a reliable, and quality solar system? Which solar company can
provide a turnkey solution, from site inspection to routine maintenance checks and customer support when there are concerns?
In addition to all this, project timelines are just as critical when selecting the best solar partner. Which solar company can provide a
substantial crew of solar installers? Who can complete the solar project quickly and efficiently?
With the right solar partner such as Solaric, the focus will be on the homeowner: to provide clean sustainable energy systems and
energy conservation devices and appliances that are economically sensible and environmentally sound. Solaric selects and build
their solar systems with the following criteria: affordable, energy efficient, reliable, cost-effective, and provides the best value to
clients.

Solar Home Economics 101

Every day, we get the question“How Much?” or “HM?” This is a very easy question and often is asked without the use of a vowel to
solve a once inescapable problem of paying high electric bills. “HM po?” goes through a systematic process for a proper answer.
There is no such thing as an ordinary house or a typical bungalow, so bear with us if we are makulit. We just want to make sure we
give you the right answers in regards to solar panel installation in your Philippine home.
Here is the step-by-step process on how we figure out the answer to “HM?”
Consumption
What is your consumption? The kWh used per month or the monthly bill would give you the gross consumption. We profile how
much energy or kuryente is used during daytime hours vs. nighttime hours. Of course, solar is very effective during daytime hours
because it can directly displace utility or “kuntador kuryente”.
Second is nighttime consumption. What appliances do you turn on during the night, how many air cons are on, etc.? For ethical
reasons, we would not suggest using your air con on lead acid batteries at night, since it is a false economy build;unless, of
course, if you live on an off-grid location or the Spratley Islands.
We then take this into account and start crunching numbers. For the old school people out there, we use Net Metering vs. batteries
to offset night consumption since it’s 3x cheaper to generate energy from solar than to store it. Batteries last a fraction as long as a
solar panel so we do not even use it for savings. We’d rather opt for banking surplus production during daytime hours via Net
Metering.
Net Metering
It is a special meter that the Utility Provider has to install to comply with National Law, specifically RA 9513 Sec 10. If your house
has surplus solar energy, the utility has to purchase the excess energy. The net metering process is complex for the average
homeowner to process, and even smaller solar outfits have a hard time on its documentary and rigid technical standards. Solaric
handles the Net Metering process and advises you on estimated costs as your home has to be updated to latest electrical codes.
Each job is wired differently, so costs vary.
We do not disconnect the Utility as they are there to give you power at night and buy your surplus power at day. We simply
integrate solar power with existing wiring. Solaric customers become Prosumers of grid power—consumers who also produce and
sell back their excess power.

Sizing
We look at the roof of your house, factory, or facility, either through Google maps or site survey; the only actual limiting factors for
solar are the amount of unshaded roof space and budget.
From our online tech survey or actual field visit, we can see how many solar panels we can fit and determine the best yielding
sides of your roof.
Our default strategy is to install enough solar to offset normal daytime loads (sub 5 year ROI) and if the client wants more
aggressive bill reduction, we can put more solar to cover night time loads. This will ZERO out the bill or result in a negative electric
bill—so you can buy that Tesla.
The most common concern is how much solar is needed to run the air con and the usual appliances, such as ref and fan. To
answer this question, that would be a 1.62 kWp installation at Php140K. To the industrial installation solar, we put in the Big Boy
Solar, the one that wipes out hundreds of thousands of pesos from a colossal electric bill.
Quotation
We do bill analysis of usage patterns: Day vs. night usage and available roof space, then suggest build sizes with approximate
savings. Our solar engineers will go over various build options (e.g. Philippines vs. China vs. Korea panels), installation locations,
and long term impact of electric bills. Solaric has the widest range of build options and, of course, we offer the best prices. From
there, we can come up with Return on Investment calculations. This can range anywhere from 3 to 6 years ROI or even faster if
electricity rates increase.
And that is when we can finally tell you “HM?” We will even tell you in great detail, using vowels, numbers, and all that.
Key Takeaway
In the Philippines, solar panels and their installation are not cheap nor are they for the financially impatient, but they will generate
returns that are easily 5x more than its initial investment. Solaric DIY packages for less than P30k make it an even better
investment than a smartphone.
Solaric has been systematically reducing electric bills and making the Philippines a greener place by enabling thousands of homes
and businesses to say no to coal by putting red hot high electric bills on the deep freeze and by showing global warming who the
real boss is.

Question: Why do I have to

tell you what I run during the
day and my monthly bill to
get a quote?
Answer: Our philosophy is that our solar has to give you maximum
benefits and financial returns and for that we would need to know how you
use electricity or any future needs
We custom build your personal SOLARIC power plant that will match your
daytime loads closely as this brings you the most return on investment,
under 5 years in most cases. Putting appropriate amounts of solar during
its time of use gives the fastest return as power storage requirements
aren’t needed, powering loads at night is twice as difficult because you will
either rely on batteries (power storage not cost effective if aircons are
involved) or Net metering credits ( utility credits you on generation charge
rate so it takes more power to offset evening use). Secondly we also ask
secondary concerns such as importance of backup power for your home
and any special conditions, IE :Elderly parent who needs vital medical
equipment on, Koi fish who will die in a prolonged outage etc.

What’s the real deal when it comes to Solar Panel Prices in the Philippines?
In 2018, the average price of Philippine solar panels, along with its installation, is Php 70/Watt to Php100/Watt.
There has been massive hype and buzz around solar. As of April 2018, according to the Department of Energy of the Philippines,
there were 20,515 megawatts of total installed solar capacity in the Philippines. This is enough to power millions of houses. But the
question that everyone really wants to ask is this: are solar panels worth it?

Solar Panel Price in the Philippines

Most of the energy utilized in the Philippines comes from non-renewable energy sources, which include coal, crude oil, natural gas,
or uranium. This type of non-renewable energy surges each year. It increases in terms of cost, for everyone, because it comes
from sources that we can never be replenished.
Solar energy, on the other hand, is a renewable and sustainable power source. Solar power is unlimited: the world will never run
out of solar.

How practical is solar power for PH home owners?

A Makati homeowner shares how he is able to cut his electricity bill by half using solar power:
Read more all about it here.
Renewable is Trending
When burned, fossil fuels are harmful. They create hazardous greenhouse gas emissions. This has contributed to the global
warming phenomenon.
The benefits to renewable energy for our planet are numerous and endless. Renewable energy is natural and clean. The carbon
emissions and greenhouse gases are increasing in our atmosphere, and have resulted in making our Mother Earth hotter. This is
what has caused a major shift in our climate. If we use renewable energy instead, this would immensely decrease the amount of
greenhouse gas emissions;, this would prevent the climate change devastation, and a future planet that is safe, clean, and green
would belong to us.
YOU can harvest solar energy and help save the planet
That is why the trend is solar. You can now harvest solar energy through rooftop solar on your house, or through solar panel
installations. That is how Filipino homeowners are now contributing to the community. You can actually help save the planet.

The 50% phenomenon

Homeowners all over the Philippines are now turning to renewable energy, and the number one choice is solar. The solar panel
price in the Philippines has dropped to its lowest figures now, compared to the last ten years. Solar panels are now low cost and
affordable. They can now guarantee significant savings.
Solar panels are now being installed to houses all throughout the archipelago as homeowners attest to the drastic drop in their
monthly electric bill. Solar panel prices in the Philippines are now affordable for the average household. Homeowners are noticing
the 50% reduction in their utility bill. Solar efficiency and effectiveness have been defined as facts, and the clamor to install solar is
ongoing. Every Filipino is trying to install solar, even the simplest of systems, just to help them reduce their electric bills. Those that
have installed solar systems Philippines, however, have a lifetime guarantee with their investments.

Maintenance is easy, simple, hassle-free

Residential solar is basically low-maintenance. There is little effort required once the panels are installed. They’re easy, simple,
and hassle-free. Solar installers usually provide lifetime warranties for the solar panels (10 to 25+ years) and furnish homeowners
with instructions on how to ensure that panels are working optimally. In addition, there are some solar companies that offer regular
cleaning and maintenance on their panels at no cost to their clients, such as Solaric.
A quick peek into solar power news globally shows that continual advancements are transpiring in the realm of science and
technology, in further reducing the cost of solar panel prices in the Philippines and making solar panels more efficient, cost-
effective, and affordable.
Rough calculations
For a 5kwp solar system, the savings usually average of more than Php8,000 per month. Each year, that accumulates to
Php100,000 in savings. Those savings can easily be used for other things, such as the children’s education, or insurance, or
recreation, or investments.
All in all, installing a 5kWp solar system in your home translates to about Php 2.5 Million in savings within a twenty five year period
for one customer without considering inflation yet.

Benefits in Energy: Peak/Off-Peak WITH Net Metering

What are the benefits of using a peak/off-peak system with net metering?
1. Solar PV owners have control over their electricity bills
2. It helps reduce consumption on the grid especially during peak consumption hours
3. It encourages participation in alternative energy production
You already know the benefits of an installation of a solar system on Philippine residential and commercial establishments as a practical
source of energy. Having a solar system in the Philippines is an efficient choice because there is plenty of sunshine to go around in this
country.
Net Metering is an efficient program that you can make use of and on a Time-of-Use or the Peak/Off-Peak program, it will generate
more savings and is a recommended system for most companies and homes that utilize a solar system. The solar industry makes use of
net metering and the peak/off-peak program because they are one of the most important and successful incentive programs that solar
panel users can have.
Here are some of the benefits you will receive when you utilize peak/off-peak with net metering:

Solar PV Owners Have Control Over their Electric Bills

Net Metering is an electric policy for consumers who own renewable energy facilities such as a solar panel installation which will allow
them to use electricity whenever needed while contributing their production to the grid.
Peak/Off-Peak allows residences or businesses to use cheaper power at night, and expensive power in the daytime. This means when
their solar installation is producing in the daytime, it is offsetting expensive power. At the end of the day – the majority of the used
energy will be “cheap offpeak power.”
Time-Of-Use program with Net Metering will enable you to produce energy just as much as you consume it. This will open up more
opportunities for you to generate savings on your electricity bills and it will help you cope up with high electricity prices.
These programs allow businesses and households to maximize their resources and produce energy for themselves and it is also notable
to mention that the load on the utility grid can also be reduced. Generating clean and efficient electricity will allow PV users to export that
power to the grid and reduce the amount in electric bills.
Helps Reduce Consumption on the Grid Especially During Peak

Consumption Periods
Using the time-of-use program helps you separate the credits you are given for energy exported to the grid.
Take note that this depends on the rate structures and peak and off-peak times of your utility. Talk with the local distributor of electrical
power on how to make this work and they would be your partner in expanding the benefits of your solar panel installation.

It Encourages Participation in Alternative Energy Production

By utilizing this program, PV owners can help protect the environment and preserve natural energy resources. There is a larger gain
when both private-owned residences and big corporations invest in a reliable solar power system instead of a polluting fossil power
generation.
This translates to cleaner air, a more resilient power grid for communities, and fewer harmful emissions for our climate. This will help
keep the environment clean and green and do its share in preserving renewable resources.
Key Takeaway
Knowing the benefits of using these programs for your solar panel installation will help you make the most out of it in a significant and
resilient way. This will spell huge returns of investment and it will champion renewable energy as a practical source for communities as
well.
With this, you will not only help the environment, but you can also help keep your savings in shape.

3 Reasons Why You Should Apply for Net Metering

Why should you apply for net metering?
1. You can save money or earn credits
2. It takes some pressure off the power grid
3. It leads to a cleaner environment
Solar panel prices in the Philippines can be intimidating at first glance. They are an investment—one with guaranteed returns in
the long run. The rate of solar panel efficiency in the Philippines is quite high since it’s a tropical country, making installing solar
panels an excellent decision.
However, with all the energy that solar panels are able to generate from the sunlight, it may be possible that some of it won’t even
be used. Now that summer has arrived, electricity consumption is at its peak. This won’t be much of a problem if you have solar
panels installed in your home and if you apply for net metering.
Here are reasons why you should apply for net metering:

You Can Save Money or Earn Credits

Net metering is pretty simple. Suppose your solar panels have generated 100 kWh during the day, and you used up 80 kWh during
the night. What happens is that the excess 20 kWh will be transferred to the power grid, and you will get credits for it. On the other
hand, if you spend an excess of 20 kWh, then that 20 kWh will be all you have to pay for. Either way is a good scenario because
you get to gain something from it.
Although, keep in mind that your electric power distribution company (Meralco) will not give you the money you earn for it. What
you can do to utilize the credits they give you is to maximize your “electric consumption” during the days when the sun is not out!
It Takes Some Pressure Off the Power Grid

The power grid is operational 24/7 as it supplies power to entire cities. This is why, occasionally, technical difficulties and blackouts
occur. With net metering, some of the grid’s load is removed from it.
Depending on the energy consumption, the energy generated by one house can potentially be enough to power three houses. This
means that the more households install solar panels and apply for net metering, the more likely it is to take some pressure off the
power grid and the less likely it is for disruptions to occur.

It Leads to a Cleaner Environment

Sadly, not everyone could afford solar panels priced in the Philippines. As a result, a number of households in the country are still
relying on fossil fuels to supply their electricity. However, since net metering takes the pressure off the power grid, the total number
of harmful emissions a community usually produces has been lessened—an important step to take towards a cleaner environment!
Key Takeaway
As you can see, applying for net metering brings about huge benefits. It’s not just a great way to maximize the energy generated
from your solar panels, it’s also a way for you to gain credits from your power distributor while also reducing your carbon footprint.
If you are thinking of installing solar panels in your own home or if you already have some, be sure to apply for net metering. Doing
so doesn’t only help you, but other people and the environment as well!

Here’s How Solar Panel Net Metering

Works
How does net metering works?
1. As solar panels produce a great amount of energy during daytime, the excess of it is delivered to the
utility grid.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/heres-how-solar-panel-net-metering-works/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:09:02 AM

2. Then at nighttime, which is when the solar panels cannot produce energy, the supply is being taken
from the utility grid.
3. Should the consumption at night be more than what is delivered to the grid from the previous day,
the excess amount will be billed to the homeowner.
4. However, if the consumption at night is lesser than what is delivered to the grid, the excess amount
will be credited.
5. All credits will build up over the year and can be used during critical seasons where the panels
cannot generate enough energy.
Have you ever heard of net metering? Today, more and more home owners in the
Philippines are using solar systems (a.k.a. solar power systems), and net metering is
among the programs that utility companies are now offering solar owners. It is indeed a great
thing that a person is able to produce his/her own source of energy during the day, but did
you know you could also store the excess energy?
What is Net Metering?

Net metering is a program among utility distributors (UD) such as MERALCO in the
Philippines that allows solar panel owners to sell their excess energy supply and be delivered
to the grid. In order to monitor the electricity generated by the solar panel system and the
electricity consumed by the owners, net meters are installed.
Of course, the electricity is used first at home. Whatever energy is not consumed is delivered
to the utility grid. This does not only help the home owners, but also the renewable energy
supply of the country.
What are the Benefits of Net Metering?

Aside from the home owners being able to sell their excess energy to utility distributors, here
are other benefits of net metering:
● This program allows businesses and home owners to maximize their resource and produce energy
for themselves. This becomes most essential during the summer season where electricity is at peak
consumption.
● This goes way back to the first benefit, given that businesses and other home owners can already be
self-reliant during periods of time where energy consumption is at its peak, the load on the utility grid
can be reduced.
● Net metering also helps in promoting the green advocacy to consumers, and encourage them in
taking part of the campaign. Not only are they able to keep the environment clean and green, but
also help in preserving the renewable resources such as the solar.
● More so, it promotes discipline and awareness on energy consumption to the public.
How does Net Metering Work?

Typically, solar panel systems produce a huge amount of energy during daytime hours in
contrast to the amount of energy consumed at home. With net metering, this excess then is
delivered to the utility grid, in which it may be stored for extra supply. It may also be used to
equip other homes with the electricity that they need.
In the night time, your solar panel system obviously would not be able to produce energy.
Hence, your energy supply will be taken from the utility grid (this scenario is just the same as
how you use energy before you installed solar panels). At time of usage, which is during the
night, your energy consumption billing will start at a negative balance. This is because you will

only be charged with the amount of energy that exceeds the amount of energy you have
contributed to the utility grid the other day.
Take this for example, if your solar panel produced and delivered a good 90kwh of energy to
the grid during the day, and you have consumed a 110kwh during the night, you will be paying
for the 20kwh that you have exceeded. However, if you have produced 90kwh and have only
consumed 50kwh, then you will be credited for 40kwh.
These credits will build up over the year, and it will be very helpful for you at times that your
solar panels wouldn’t generate much energy.
Net metering is among the most efficient programs in the Philippines that one can use to
maximize the energy generated by solar panels. Not only does this help home owners, but
also businesses and utility distributors alike. With how it works, definitely, you wouldn’t need
to worry about blackouts and peak consumptions anymore.

Paving the Way: 5 of the Most Solar-

Friendly Countries
Which countries in the world are the most solar-friendly?
1. Germany – The current leader in solar power usage, Germany has over 30GW worth of solar power used to power
up most of the country.
2. Italy – The country has seen a rise in solar power usage after years of using imported natural gases.
3. China – The largest solar panel producer in the world has increased their solar power usage over the years.
4. United States – With a number of businesses and government projects using solar energy, the United States aims to
increase their usage in the upcoming years.
5. Japan – Once the world leader in solar energy, the country aims to develop more solar panels after disaster

devastated their nuclear program.
The prices of solar panels in the Philippines are becoming more and more affordable, making a transition to
using renewable energy a more variable option with every day that passes. With the ability to convert the
sun’s rays to electricity, solar energy is being now being seen as a major energy resource around the globe.
While a lot of countries are just scratching the surface on the use of solar power, these countries listed
below have been paving the way when it comes to integrating solar energy into their respective power
supplies.
Germany
Germany has become the world leader in solar power usage. In terms of total usage, Germany has over 30
gigawatts of installed solar capacity. In May 2017, Germany was able to generate 85 percent of its power
from renewable energy sources such as wind, biomass, hydroelectric power, and solar energy. This was
made possible by the country’s commitment to turning renewable energy as their primary energy source.
Non-renewable energy sources such as coal and nuclear energy are slowly being phased out, with the
intention of completely shutting them down.
Italy
Being a country with no fossil fuel resources, Italy has steadily increased their solar energy usage over the
past few years. This is a practical choice after years of relying on imported natural gas as a major power
source. The government of Italy has also implemented various incentive schemes to further encourage the
development and use of renewable energy.
China
The country with the largest population in the world is also one of the countries that has seen steady growth
in the number of solar power installations in the past few years. The increase of solar panel installations can
be attributed to their low cost and availability in the country. Being the largest producer of solar panels in the
world, China aims to increase their renewable energy supply in the near future.
United States
Granted, the United States has been the world leader in the usage in non-renewable energy. However, the
powerful country has reached a number of solar power milestones and an increase of renewable energy
usage. Various companies, along with the government, have transitioned to installing and relying on solar
panels. With the number of solar panel projects increasing in the country, the United States aims to catch up
and become one of the biggest users of this sustainable energy.
Japan
Japan was the first country in the world to reach 1 GW, and became one of the leaders in solar power
during the 90s and the early 2000s. This slowed down for several years due to the expansion of nuclear
power. In 2012, Japan renewed their focus on solar energy plants after the devastating 2011 earthquake
caused damage to their nuclear power plants. Once a world leader, Japan looks to become one again in the
future.
Key Takeaway
With many of the world’s most powerful countries turning to the use of renewable energy, the practice is
slowly making its way to other countries. For third-world countries like the Philippines, solar power is at its
early stages but has the potential to grow at a steady rate. Have you made the transition yet?

Types of Renewable Energy
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/types-of-renewable-energy/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:10:00 AM

Climate change is one of the alarming situations the Earth is facing. The country has been experiencing various effects of
climate change, such as floods, droughts, stronger typhoons, and rising of the sea level that directly affects the
environment and the economy.
Fortunately, several establishments and households are now embracing the sustainable lifestyle, especially through the
use of solar energy since there are many reasonable prices of solar panels in the Philippines. Solar energy has been
one of the most popular and fastest-growing sources of renewable energy not only in the country but in different parts of
the world as well. Apart from the solar energy, there are other forms of renewable energy that can be used as an
alternative source of electricity. Read on and let’s take a look at the different types of renewable energy.
Biomass Energy
Biomass energy is one of the most used renewable energies in the world. Biomass refers to the use of organic materials
and converting them into their other forms that can be used as energy. One of the largest sources of biomass energy is
wood and other forest residues, such as branches, dead trees, and tree stumps. The burning of woods has been the
oldest form of biomass, however, there are newer methods that do not produce carbon dioxide. With this, utilizing biomass
energy is definitely clean and reduces the carbon dioxide emission. Moreover, sustainably grown biomass can produce up
to four times the global electricity needed by 2050.
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy is a thermal energy gathered from the heat found underneath the Earth’s surface, commonly from hot
springs, magma conduits, and hydrothermal circulation. Geothermal hot water is often used to dry out fish and crops, heat
buildings, and raise plants in greenhouses.
In the Philippines, Leyte is one of the provinces that produced geothermal energy. There are also geothermal power
plants in Luzon, Negros, and Mindanao. With this, geothermal energy provides the country with almost 27% of its total
electricity production.
Hydrogen Energy
Water is about 800 times heavier than the air, making it capable of producing considerable amounts of energy. There are
many forms of water energy, such as hydroelectric power, small hydro systems, and run-of-the-river hydroelectricity.
Wind Energy
Did you know that wind technology can provide 9% of global electricity by 2030? Wind energy is a clean and non-polluting
source of electricity. It uses a wind turbine, a device that can convert the wind’s kinetic energy into electrical power. Wind
turbines rotate either by horizontally or vertically and typically place in areas with higher wind resources, such as offshore.
Bangui Wind Farm and Burgos Wind Farm in Ilocos Norte are some of the big developments of wind energy in the
Philippines.
Over the years, people have relied almost entirely on coal and natural gases for energy. Today, there are many
alternatives in which we can get electricity. In fact, our country has several possibilities of getting clean yet cheap energy.
Good thing, various environmental organizations and even the government are utilizing such possibilities to finally switch
to the sustainable lifestyle and make the world a better place to live in.

4 Energy-efficient Alternatives to Your

Home Appliances and Gadgets
One way to play a part in conserving and protecting our environment is by consuming less energy
daily. In relation to this, using a solar panel is highly encouraged. It is common misunderstanding
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/4-energy-efficient-alternatives-to-your-home-appliances-and-gadgets/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:10:24 AM

that purchasing a solar panel is costly – what they fail to realize is that there are various
affordable prices of solar panels. In the Philippines, various environmental organizations are
consistently placing effort to convince citizens to switch into the sustainable lifestyle. Another way
to do this is by investing in energy-efficient appliances.
Join the movement and make your humble abode a more environment-friendly one. Ditch the
energy-guzzling appliances you may currently have for these highly energy-efficient appliances
that only use energy up to two to ten times less.
Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL) and Light

Emitting Diode (LED) Bulbs
Did you know that electric lighting makes up 25% of your household’s monthly energy
consumption? Cut this down by replacing your incandescent bulb with CFL and LED bulbs.
Compact Fluorescent Light or CFL is a small version of the standard fluorescent. This kind of bulb
was designed to replace incandescent bulb and save more energy. Switching to CFLs will save
up to 409 terawatt-hours per year and will minimize your carbon footprint.
On the other hand, Light Emitting Diode or LED is another type of an energy-efficient bulb. LED
bulbs can last up to 10 times longer compare to CFLs, making it a far more practical choice. This
bulb only uses 2 to 17 watts of electricity. Before buying your LED light, estimate your desired
brightness and choose between cool or warm light.
Ceiling Fan
A ceiling fan is a great choice as it has a wattage of 65 to 175. In comparison, the average electric
fan has wattage of about 2000 to 3000, so it definitely consumes a lot more energy!
Laptop
Instead of a desktop, opt instead to use a laptop. It consumes 85% less electricity than desktop,
making it the most energy-efficient choice. To save even more energy, turn off your laptop when
not in use. You could also use one large power strip with individual switches, so you can plug the
laptop and other appliances in there and turn it off as needed. This tip could save you up to 200
kWh per year.
Single Door Refrigerator

The refrigerator is essential in every household. Storing your food in a cold place will slow down
the growth of microorganisms and prolong the life of your food. However, refrigerator takes up a
huge portion in your monthly energy consumption. Consume less energy by opting for a single
door refrigerator.
Since it has a smaller freezer compared to a double door refrigerator, single door refrigerator
consumes around 30% to 40% less energy than its two-door counterpart. Moreover, a single door
refrigerator is much cheaper than the double door refrigerator. Hence, choosing a single door
fridge will not only you save energy but money as well.
The electricity consumption in every household is quite different from each other. Be aware of
how much energy each appliance and gadget in your home consumes, and consider replacing
them.

The Biggest Energy Consumers in Your

Home
Photo
by Piotr Miazga
Each modern house is different, but what makes them similar is that they are considered home by
its residents and they need electricity. Some people opt to save money when it comes to electric
consumption and are happier with solar panel prices in the Philippines and using renewable
source energy for their home.
That aside, have you ever looked at your electric bill and wondered which appliances consume the
most energy? Listed below are every home’s biggest energy consumers.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/biggest-energy-consumers-your-home/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:10:59 AM

Lighting
The house lights are diverse and distributed to each room. An estimated range lights consume per
month is 100-150 kWh per hour. There are energy-saving bulbs and are even environmentally
friendly to use, such as LEDs and CLFs. Remember to turn off the lights when a room is empty,
except when it’s only going to be empty for a couple of minutes to save energy.
Refrigerator/Freezer
It is fairly unavoidable to unplug freezers or refrigerators because if you do, the food inside will
spoil! The average energy range of this appliance is from 200-400 kWh per month. Refrigerators
that are already more than 10 years old tend to consume more energy, so in the long run it’s better
to buy a new one. New refrigerators nowadays have a power saving option recommended to be
used during the nighttime.
Water heater
Water heaters are used in the showers, cleaning or ironing clothes, and washing the dishes.
Studies in the U.S. show that they consumes about 12% of the overall energy used in a home. The
average consumption per month is estimated around 400-600 kWh, which is even higher than the
refrigerator!
Air-conditioning
Air-conditioning units are notorious for being consuming the most energy, with an average
consumption of 400-800 kWh per month. An AC with inverter are the best electricity-saving AC
units in the market, as the power they consume depends on the temperature of the incoming air as
well as the level set in the thermostat. Setting the thermostat to 25 degree Celsius is highly
recommended to save energy. Each degree you adjust will increase the cost!
The items on this list probably didn’t come as a shock, but it’s still a good reminder. Unplug
appliances when they’re not in use (with the exception of the refrigerator of course). When an
appliance is nearing replacement, do your research in advance and find out which units consume
the least energy. You may even find alternatives that are solar-powered!

All About the Sun: Earth’s Main

Source of Light
All About the Sun and Solar Energy in

the Philippines
Ever since the beginning of time, the Sun has been an important part of life. It is a
https://solaric.com.ph/solar-energy-philippines/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:11:27 AM

constant sight that is rarely acknowledged except when it is burning hot and we complain
about the unbearable heat. Despite that, the sun is actually one of the primary reasons
why there is life on earth. It is not just a huge ball of energy that we see from space; it
offers plenty of benefits for mankind. In countries like the Philippines, solar energy is
harvested from Philippine solar panels to as an alternative energy source. Indeed, the sun
is definitely important to Earth and mankind.
More than Earth’s Giant Lamp

The center of the Solar System, the Sun accounts for 99.86% of the mass of the Solar
System. Its gravity is what keeps all of the planets in order as well. Humans have long
understood the Sun’s importance to the planet, the diurnal cycle, and the seasons. It also
has been the center of many mythologies as well as systems of worship. Among these
cultures were the Mayans, Ancient Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. The Sun
was considered as a central deity mainly because people see it as the bringer of light and
life. However, as the time passed, our understanding of the Sun changed. We may no
longer be worshipping the Sun as a god but its significance did not recede.
Thanks to the Sun, plants can perform photosynthesis, a process where plant cells
convert sunlight to food energy. A plant will capture the sun’s rays in a chloroplast and a
conversion happens that gives plants the ability to be a source of calories to any life form.
These plants are then consumed by herbivores like cows and then humans feed on the
cows. In addition to that, humans can get Vitamin D from the sun. Vitamin D is important
for the maintenance of bones. It is also involved in the body’s use of calcium as well as
reducing bone-related diseases and even depression.
A Ball of Warmth and Happiness

According to science, the light of the Sun takes eight minutes to reach us. We would be
nothing if it wasn’t for the Sun’s light. Aside from the environmental benefits, we use the
sun’s light to do the things we enjoy the most. Can you imagine taking pictures of scenic
spots without the natural light coming from the sun? That being said, all life forms won’t be
here on Earth if it wasn’t for the Sun.
The warmth of the sun is also responsible for the existence of life on Earth. Mercury and
Venus are so hot that most earth organisms will die there. Water will not be able to thrive
on these planets because it will quickly turn into steam. Mars, the planet next to Earth, is
so cold that it is impossible to live there. If water is present in Mars and the planets
beyond, it will turn into ice. The moon gets some of the sun’s rays but it still cold
compared to Earth. Thanks to the radiant light and Earth’s atmosphere, the heat is evenly
distributed, allowing plants and animals to live on this planet.
Studies also show that the sun affects moods. During the rainy season, days are shorter
and the Sun does not make an appearance much. Some people experience Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD), which is a depression associated with seasons when there is
lack of sunlight. This can be alleviated by light therapy and psychotherapy. Aside from
that, the sun also stimulates the pineal gland. This is the gland that secretes melatonin,
the hormone that is responsible for a person’s sleep patterns.
The Sun: Philippine Solar Energy To Infinity and

Beyond
With the ongoing developments in technology, man has learned how to harness the gifts
of Mother Nature to make daily life easy. One of these gifts is the energy sources like
water and wind. These energy sources are renewable, natural and sustainable. The Sun
has proven to be a reliable source of energy as well. Ever since the discovery of the
photovoltaic effect by Edmond Becquerel in 1839, man began to utilize the Sun’s heat to
power machines and light up infrastructures. Over time, the Sun showed that it is a much
better energy source compared to fossil fuels because the former is cleaner and the
equipment needed requires only minimal maintenance.
Indeed, the Sun is an important part of our daily lives. It will continue to be a necessity in
our lives until the end of time.

becomes FIRST PRIORITY in your home or business, when the sun is

shining. NO NEED FOR BATTERIES! Here’s a scenario:
You have 5kWp of solar panels on your Philippine home. It’s 10AM on a
hot summer morning. Your system is harvesting 3,500W right now.
However, you’re running 4hp of aircon, your electric dryer, and a water
pump; and you actually need 7,500W. Well, the first 3,500W is already
being supplied by your rooftop. The remaining 4,000W will be supplied
by Meralco/your power company. This is all automatic. The grid tie
inverter that Solaric installed automatically synchronizes with the grid
(Meralco or your local power company). All of this would entail that there
will be no flickering, no switching, and best of all – no batteries!
Here’s another scenario:
You have 3kWp of solar panels on your homes in the Philippines. It’s
harvesting 2000W right now. Nothing is on except a fridge and a
computer so only 300W is being consumed. Where does the extra
1700W go? Well, if you signed up for NET METERING with your Power
Company, your meter will actually reverse and they will credit you for
the kWh you exported. You can use this at night. Right now, they only
credit for blended generation charge, not 1:1 value. But it’s just as good
as batteries. Why? Because:
BATTERIES COST A LOT OF MONEY – Batteries need to be

maintained; they can only be drained 30% to have a decent service life.
Apart from that, batteries take up space and they experience losses. So,
if you put 1000Wh into a battery bank, do not expect to get 1000Wh out
of it. There’s about 15% chemical and heat loss, then there’s about 10%
in inverter losses when LOW VOLTAGE DC becomes AC. This is why
we advise GRID TIE with NO BATTERIES, if your primary goal is to
SAVE MONEY. Our main tip would be to cut out all your DAYTIME
loads, and let the sun power your DAYTIME loads. At night, use
Meralco/your power company. What are you waiting for? Apply for net
metering, if you have excess power.
The usage of batteries in everyday solar builds for bill reduction

purposes is “old school.” I know what you’re saying: “but, but, but….
nobody is home in the daytime, and I want to use all the solar energy I
harvested in the daytime at NIGHT, when I’m actually home!” However,
it would actually be better for you to apply for NET METERING, so you
never have to deal with battery acid again.
Now, if your problem is brownout and you need power backup, then that
is when battery use becomes essential and recommended; although,
we highly suggest for you not to run your air conditioner—that’s not
economical at all.

SOLARIC LEADS SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION IN

https://solaric.com.ph/blog/solaric-leads-solar-panel-installation-philippines/ (1 of 5)10/4/2018 7:12:23 AM
THE PHILIPPINES
How far behind are the other solar companies?
REGINA ROME
Solar Digital Squad
Manila, Philippines
August 25, 2018
In the last six years, Solaric has invested and nurtured its way to explosive growth, becoming the top provider for solar panel
installations in the Philippines. As the race for solar panels soared in the country, the clamor for rooftop installations surged,
Solaric rapidly climbed its way to the top as the leader in rooftop solar for the Philippine residential solar market as of mid-year
2018.

Looking at the Numbers

According to solar research Philippines data, to date, Solaric has installed or done EPC work for over 35MWp in the residential,
commercial, industrial, and military markets. Solaric has accomplished over 1,000 rooftop installations nationwide.
Startup solar businesses are also sprouting from all over the nation with the intent of entering the country’s booming solar space.
Yet, Solaric remained standing on solid ground, steadily turning on the sun in the residential solar industry with consistent
deployment of solar installations nationwide, and by keeping up with industry trends and forces. As it became the household brand
for solar, Solaric surpassed all other solar panel installation in the Philippines providers based on: number of installations, net
metered market share.
A Closer Peek
There are Philippine solar companies that have deliberately catered to specific projects, such as government funded solar. The
other solar companies tap into new sales channels and finance offerings but endure the short-term effects of increased customer
acquisition costs and profit declines. Almost every other solar panel installation in the Philippines has struggled to grow in the last
three years, but Solaric has stayed out in the sun by constantly investing in research and development and increasing its network
of competent installers and dealers nationwide.

Analyzing the Core

Solaric services the market through tailor-fit solar system solutions delivered by its vast network. How does it have such an
extensive network? Solaric cascades its knowledge on solar power and solar system installation in the Philippines by conducting
monthly Solar 101 and Solar 202 seminars.
Capitalizing from years of solar panel installation in the Philippines, Solaric has developed an industry-renowned weekend course
on solar energy. These semi-technical courses allow both the laymen and the engineers to understand the practical applications of
solar, and how it can reduce electric bills, serve as profitable, and prove to be a wise investment.
People from all over the Philippines have flocked over to the Solaric Headquarters to attend these certificate courses: housewives,
business owners, energy professionals, and even other solar companies.
Every module of the course is based on equivalent actual experience gained by Solaric as the nation’s experts in the field. The
sharing of the quality fundamentals and techniques have contributed to a cleaner, greener, and more renewable Philippines.
By creating a knowledgeable network of solar advocates and by training its own solar installers, Solaric has been able to grow
alongside its dynamic nationwide group of partners and installers. This has guaranteed Solaric its continued success, and, more
respectably, its own place in the sunlight as the leader in rooftop solar.

Carbon Footprint: What

Exactly Is It
Every single thing we do every day directly affects our environment.
Turning on the air conditioner, using the washing machine to do the
laundry, eating meat, and driving to work—these actions does not only
come with a price of your money but the precious price of the natural
resources as well. These withdrawals of natural resources from the Earth
contribute to the high amount of carbon footprint.
In the Philippines, solar panel installation are done by both residential and
commercial establishments to somewhat reduce their carbon footprint. Do
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/what-is-carbon-footprint/ (1 of 5)10/4/2018 7:14:05 AM

you have any idea what is carbon footprint? How it affects our
environment? Read on to know more about what carbon footprint is and
how we can reduce our own carbon footprint.
What is Carbon Footprint?

Carbon footprint refers to the amount of carbon dioxide emitted to the air

because of the consumption of fossil fuels. It also refers to the total

amount of greenhouse gases that were produced to support human
activities.
Carbon footprint is just one in the family of footprint indicators that

includes land footprint and water footprint.
What are the Ways to Reduce Carbon

Footprint?
Surely, there are various available ways on how to reduce your carbon
footprint. It is up to us what techniques we will use. Some of the common
methods used to reduce one’s carbon footprint are to Recycle, Reduce,
and Reuse. Start by recycling old bottles and jars at home. Reuse plastic
bags and bring it the next time you buy your groceries instead of throwing
it away. These simple habits will reduce the solid waste that goes into the
landfills.
In manufacturing companies, recycling packing materials is done to

reduce their carbon footprint. On the other hand, in every household,
reducing carbon footprint can also be done through the use of less energy;

by doing things like opting for LED and CFC light bulbs instead of regular
ones. Switching to renewable energy can immensely help this cause.
It would also beneficial to know that the engine of your vehicle burns fuel
when you drive and this creates a certain amount of CO2. The amount of
CO2 you generate depends on your driving distance and fuel
consumption. This is why your daily choices, such as opting for carpooling
to work or using the mass transit, can really help reduce your carbon
footprint.
Food choice also plays a huge contribution to one’s carbon footprint.

Heavily processed and packaged food as well as consuming protein-
sources animals, especially red meat are some of the biggest contributors
to a high carbon footprint. Instead, opt for a vegan diet and grow your own
fruits and vegetables at home. This simple ways will make a difference in
the long run.
Every human produces their individual ecological footprint, which is

determined largely by the country’s development and wealth they live in.
However, their choices and daily habits can lessen their carbon footprint.
Remember, even simple habits and your daily choices can really make a
difference. Do you want to take the first step in reducing your carbon
footprint? Join the annual Earth Hour on March 25, 2017. This one hour
event became a global movement ever since various cities around the
world have constantly participated in order to achieve a massive
environmental impact. Make a stand by turning off your light from 8:30 PM
to 9:30 PM.

https://solaric.com.ph/blog/3-ways-going-green-can-enrich-your-life/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:14:44 AM

Going Green Allows You to Save a Lot of Money

Many people think that going green will cost huge amount of money. On the contrary, choosing to go
green will enable you to live simple and frugal life. This could help you save a lot of money in the
long run. One example is by ditching your expensive chemical products. When you get rid of the
chemical products that you commonly use, you can make your own natural product—whether it is
home cleaner, culinary spices, or beauty products.
Another example is having solar panel installed on your roof. Yes, solar panels may seem costly at
first, but there are many affordable solar panels available in the metro. Once you install solar panels
at your home, you can reduce your dependency in electricity, which allows you to save in electricity
bills in the long run.
Going Green Can Improve your Mental Health

Did you know that going green can improve your mental health too? Since adopting a sustainable
lifestyle means living with less and avoiding unnecessary consumption, the absence of unnecessary
material things in your life will definitely enhance your mood and the ambience of your home.
The clutter in your home directly affects your mood and blocks your clarity. Decluttering your house
will result in a clean home and a peaceful mind.
Going Green Can Extend Your Lifespan

One of the simplest ways to go green is to eat healthy and locally-produced food. Opting for organic
products will certainly help you stay away from the different toxic and chemically produced food
being sold in the market. Such kind of processed food often possess different harmful ingredients
that are dangerous to your health. By eating only organic food, you spare yourself and your family of
toxic chemicals such as artificial ingredients and pesticides. You’ll feel healthy, and look healthy!
Going green is a way of life that’s slowly making its way back in our society. It’s all thanks to the
undying campaign and initiative of several environment groups not only in the country but around the
globe as well. Simple habits, such as composting, conserving water, and consuming less energy are
some of the easy ways to start going green in your home.

https://solaric.com.ph/blog/sustainable-diy-projects-at-home/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:15:12 AM

Composting
Composting is a method of using decayed organic material as a plant fertilizer, which will help in decreasing the landfill waste. It is a practical way to save the
environment and save money as well since you do not need to buy artificial fertilizers for your plants. Follow the instructions below to help you achieve your
composting goals!
1. First, distinguish what are the possible kitchen scraps that can be composted. Scraps, such as fruit and vegetable peelings, egg shells, coffee grounds, and grass clippings are
efficient soil enhancers. Processed foods, dairy, and meat are not appropriate for composting.
2. Before putting in the composting pile, make sure that the things you will compost are small and shredded.
3. You can keep your composting pile inside your kitchen. By this, you can fill it right away with scraps every after meal. Take it outside if it is already full.
4. Every now and then, slightly add water to your compost pile to maintain its moisture.
5. Also, make sure that your compost pile is on even level so that it will drain properly.
6. Maintain an even amount of green and brown scraps in your compost pile. Both types of compost are essential in maintaining the nutrients of your compost pile. The green compost
provides nitrogen while the brown scraps gives carbon to the compost pile.
7. Avoid including grass clippings or leaves that have been treated with pesticides and other chemicals into your compost pile.
DIY Household Cleaners

Reduce your exposure to various chemicals by using your own household cleaners. Majority of the ingredients in making such cleaners can be found in your pantry.
Ditch the chemical products and start using natural household cleaners instead!
Air Freshener
Mix baking soda and vinegar will help reduce the foul odor around the house. You can also use coffee grounds to keep your kitchen counter fresh.
Carpet Stain Remover

In a spray bottle, mix an even amount of water and white vinegar. Spray the mixture directly into the carpet. Leave it for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then, clean it with a
brush and soapy water.
Deodorizer
To deodorize your food containers and storage, soak them in baking soda and warm water. Leave it overnight. To deodorize an in-sink garbage disposal unit, grind
up an orange peel or lemon in it.
Oil and Grease Spot Remover

Use baking soda and wet brush when cleaning stains on the floors or walls in your house. Mix 3 to 4 tablespoons of baking and 1 cup of water.
Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Mix 1 cup of vinegar and ¼ cup of baking soda. Pour the mixture into a basin and leave it for few minutes. Then, brush the toilet bowl using the mixture and rinse off.
Window Cleaner
Mix 1 liter of water and 2 teaspoons of white vinegar. Use a cotton cloth when applying the mixture into the window glass.

4 Cool Solar Powered Gadgets

Solar power is known to provide cleaner and more sustainable electricity. Based on the
increasing number of solar powered objects in the market, it is obvious that its popularity
is growing. In fact, there are establishments that use solar panels in the Philippines and
all over the world. It might be a good time for you to start using solar power in your house
as well. Listed below are 4 devices that will help reduce your power bill and reliance on
fossil fuels:
Solar Powered Flashlight

A solar powered flashlight is extremely helpful especially if you don’t have spare batteries
nearby. All you need to do is charge the flashlight under the sun for a few hours—
depending on the instruction of the product—and then you can use it the minute there is a
power outage in your neighborhood. Truth be told, you may find having a solar powered
flashlight better than a battery-powered one.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/4-cool-solar-power-gadgets/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:16:29 AM

Solar Powered Charger

More and more people are discovering the perks of having a solar powered charger.
Since it can be charged under the sun, you can simply leave it by the window sill or any
sunny spot in your house. There are chargers that can store up to 5,000 mAh and most
phone batteries are approximately 1,800 mAh. This means you can have 2 full charges
from a single solar charge.
Solar Powered Backpack

There are a few companies who are making solar backpacks. Although they are rather
costly, these backpacks come in simple colors, clean lines and an unobtrusive solar
panel. They might not look too stylish but they do have a lot of perks. You can charge
your phone, tablet, camera or any electronic device while simply walking around in the
sun. They may look a little dorky but you can carry many things in these packs.

Solar Powered Cars

While it is not a gadget per se, these cars contain sports roof-top solar panels that
concentrate solar power and provide hybrid plug-in benefits. The first solar powered car
in the Philippines is called “Sinag”. It was inaugurated on January 27, 2007 at NBC Tent,
Fort Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Solar powered cars are not commercially available but
if the solar trend catches on, these vehicles may be ruling the highway before we know it.
Saving money is not the only goal of using solar power. It’s also about changing the world
by supporting solar energy producers so it shows that solar is important to consumers as
well.
Using solar power isn’t all about saving money. It’s also about changing the world by
supporting solar energy producers and showing the government and power providers that
solar is important to consumers. Some solar powered items may be expensive but that
does not mean you can’t start powering your home with solar energy. If you have the
devices above, you can charge your phone and gadgets, light up the dark, listen to
music, and carry around your things with solar power. That is a great first step to a
cleaner world.

Sustaining Progress: Benefits of a Clean Energy Shift

What are the benefits of pushing towards a clean energy shift?
1. Improves economic progress by aiding the labor sector
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/clean-energy-shift-benefits/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:17:24 AM
2. Significant ROI
3. Continuous innovation and milestones
Investing in a solar system in the Philippines is an achievement on its own. This indicates that you are finally ready for the global standard
for sustainability and economic progress. But more than that, investing and installing it in your home provides the opportunity for a clean
energy shift.
A clean energy shift happens when there has been a significant change in your lifestyle that promotes being environment-friendly. It could
be as small as committing to properly storing your wastes, or as big as choosing to install a solar system in your Philippine home and
business establishment.
If you are still deciding on the latter, then you might want to consider the benefits that come with it.
Improves Economic Progress by Aiding the Labor Sector

According to a report by Greenpeace, the integration of renewable energy to society can bring about economic progress because green
energy projects are responsible for 4 times more job generation as compared to oil or non-renewable energy investments.
The steady increase in jobs in the renewable energy combats those in the fossil fuel economy. In our country, fossil fuels are the primary
source of energy but the benefits of renewable energy should promote a change in that standard.
Fossil fuels have been proven as an outdated and environmentally hazardous source of energy, which is not suitable for industries in the
long run. The rise in renewable energy projects can exhibit more opportunities for people to secure jobs which will result in a significant
increase in revenues and investments.
Significant Return-On-Investments
There is a common misconception that renewable energy sources are insignificant investments because they are expensive and the
alternative energy source is cheaper. However, this statement is false.
Investing in renewable energy brings in new jobs to people that can boost a country’s economy. In addition, shifting to clean energy will
reduce the county’s costs of energy consumption. The significant impact of renewable energy development can be utilized by homes,
industries, and small-scale businesses in both the rural and urban area.
The misconceptions about clean energy shift remain assumptions because one must fully invest in renewable energy sources to come
across concrete testaments to its sustainable capabilities and potential.

Continuous Innovation and Milestones

The renewable energy production is experiencing continuous innovation. It is slowly turning to an affordable energy source. This effort
recognizes the demand for renewable energy even in third-world countries like the Philippines and Costa Rica. For instance, the latter has
98.53% usage in renewable energy production.
The Philippines is also moving towards it. The Republic Act 9513 (Renewable Energy Law) is the “act promoting the development,
utilization, and commercialization of renewable energy sources and for other purposes”. Basically, it pushes the country towards a clean
energy shift. Since its implementation in 2008, local industries saw a huge boom in the number of businesses using solar energy as their
power source. As a result, more foreign entities are showing interest in investing towards these companies.
Key Takeaway
The benefits listed above will be continuously received by the countries, organizations, and individuals who are moving towards a clean
energy shift.

pollution, effects of a company’s operation on the environment, and weather. He or she also studies and predicts atmospheric conditions and events, which enables him or her to understand the climate patterns and effects of the
pollution.
A bachelor’s degree in Atmospheric Science is the suitable course to take if you want to delve in this type of career. On the other hand, Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Microbiology, and Online Geoscience degrees are
also preferable courses to take if you desire to work as an atmospheric scientist.

Conservation Scientist
The promotion of the safe, ecological, and responsible interactions with the natural land is done by a conservation scientist. He or she manages the uses of the natural resources and makes sure that these are still maintained and
protected. A conservation scientist may choose his or her area of focus, such as natural forest protection and soil and water conservation.
An aspiring conservation scientist may take degrees, such as Agricultural or Environmental Science courses.
Ecotourism Guide
The growth of global travel has been seen in the past ten years. Good thing, most of these travel adventure promotes environmental awareness, low carbon travel events, and operates strong ecological theme. The specialist that
has the knowledge of sustainability and environmental issues in a travel organization is called ecotourism guide. The duty of the ecotourism guide is not only to join their guests to their travel destination but to inform them as well as
how local history and origin of the place relates to the ecology and environment.
There is no specific degree to be an ecotourism guide. However, relevant courses, such as tourism would be an ideal option. A deep understanding of the cultural anthropology, environmental studies, and sustainability is also
important to be an efficient ecotourism guide.

Sustainability Researcher
A sustainability researcher is responsible for conducting surveys and interviews about various economic or social factors, writing of reports that contain research findings, and finding ways to how companies can practice
sustainability.
A degree related to economic, environment, and social sustainability is an ideal path when you want to be a sustainability researcher.
We all know that we need to do our part to conserve and protect the environment. One efficient way to do this is to live sustainably. Switching to the sustainable lifestyle is a lifetime commitment. However, you can start small. Start
simple by encouraging ecological habits at your own home. And if you really want to make a difference, explore the environment and sustainable careers!

Simple Ways to Live Sustainably in the Philippines
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/simple-ways-live-sustainably-philippines/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:18:21 AM

If we want our children and grandchildren and our great grandchildren to still be able to enjoy nature and breathe comfortably,
we need to start acting NOW. Some people have been embracing the greener lifestyle by integrating green technology at their
home. Others reduce their carbon footprint by choosing to walk or commute instead of bringing their vehicles to work every day.
The use of solar energy is now more feasible thanks toprice of solar panels. In the Philippines, many cities now are adapting
different green practices to achieve a sustainable lifestyle.
As a citizen of the world, how can you live sustainably? Here are a few ideas to help you get started.
Create an Efficient Waste Management System

According to the studies conducted by the National Solid Waste Management Commission, a single person in the Metro Manila
can produce for about 0.5 kilogram of waste daily. This would generate 4,762,720 kilogram of trash daily if it is multiplied with
10.5 million people living in the metro. Because of this, solid waste is becoming one of the worst problems not only in the Metro
Manila but in the surrounding areas as well..
Creating an efficient waste management system would be the best way to prevent this growing problem from getting any worse.
Start by sorting your trash into organic waste, biodegradable, non-biodegradable, and residual trash. Homeowners like you are
also encouraged to practice the 3 R’s at your home. These 3 R’s are reduce, reuse, and recycle. This significantly reduces the
amount of trash thrown in the landfill. Simple habits such as reducing your consumption of certain goods, reusing shopping
bags, recycling bottles and jars, and repurposing old containers are quick steps to start living a sustainable life.
Consume Organic Food

Opting for organic food is not only beneficial for your health but for the environment as well. The production of organic food
keeps both animals and plants healthy since there are no toxic chemicals involved in producing such kind of food. Moreover,
this also helps the environment as no pollution and topsoil erosion occur when producing organic food. If the thought of giving
up certain foods already makes you want to skip this part, don’t fret. You can simply substitute at least some of your meals daily
instead of going cold turkey.
Opt for Alternative Energy

Our country has various sources of clean alternative energy. These alternative energies may come in the form of geothermal,
hydrogen, solar, and wind energy. Using alternative energy helps reduce the cause of climate change and people’s dependence
on the fossil fuels, which contribute to acid rain and formation of various harmful matters.
If you choose to use the traditional source of energy, you can still make a difference by utilizing appliances that consume less
energy. Examples are dryers and washing machines that can run on LPG and inverter-type of air conditioners. Switching to LED
and CFC bulb light also help reduce your energy consumption.

Create a Water Management Plan

Just like in solid waste management, water management should also be practiced at every person’s house. Things you can
implement on your household are:
● Taking shorter showers.
● When brushing your teeth, use a glass of water instead of letting the water run from the faucet.
● Have a regular check-up of all the faucets and toilets at your home. Leaky faucets and toilets can waste up to 182 liters of water every day.
● If possible, install a grey water system. It is a tank that collects rainwater and used water from drains.
Going green is quite challenging, however, it does not have to be difficult. With careful and organized planning, going green can
be just any normal routine.

All About Solar Panels

In tropical countries like the Philippines, solar power is abundant. More and more
Filipinos and businesses are turning to solar power usage because of the benefits it
presents. Solar power is natural, sustainable, and requires minimum maintenance.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/all-about-solar-panels/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:18:50 AM

What are Solar Panels?

We all know that solar energy comes from the sun. Solar panels, or PV panels, are
used to convert light from the sun into electricity that can be used to power electricity-
reliant devices and infrastructure. Solar panels can also be used for a variety of
applications. These include powering telecommunications equipment, power systems
for remote areas, and source of electricity for residential and commercial areas.
Before the development of solar panels, solar energy was mainly used for the
production of steam to drive machinery. In 1839, French physicist Edmond Becquerel
discovered thee photovoltaic effect, which was the operating principle of a solar cell.
The photovoltaic effect allowed the conversion of sunlight into electricity. With
Becquerel’s findings, Charles Fritts, an American inventor, created the first genuine
solar cell by coating selenium sheets with a thin layer of gold. What we know today
as the solar panel began with this simple invention.
Russel Ohl, another American inventor, patented the world’s first solar cell made of
silicon in 1941. His invention led to the production of the first solar panel in 1954.
Solar panels were then used in space satellites. It was in the 1970s when people
began to experience the first solar panel in their lives—in the form of their calculator.
Today, solar panels are used as power sources for many applications. Yes, they are
still being used in calculators but they are also being used to provide entire homes
and commercial buildings.

How do Solar Panels Work?

Solar panels collect sunlight and convert that light into electricity. Solar panels are
composed of several individual solar cells which are made of silicon, phosphorous
and boron. Solar panels absorb the photons from the sun’s rays, initiating an electric
current. This results into the energy from the photons hitting the solar panel’s surface,
allowing the electrons to be released into the electric field generated by the solar
cells. This entire process is known as the Photovoltaic Effect.
What Can People Get From Solar Panels?

Solar panels have proven themselves as practical ways of producing electricity. Off-
grid living, which means living in a location that the main electric utility guild does not
cater to, is being used by people who live in remote areas and/or in cabins. They
don’t have to pay for the installation of electric utility poles just to connect to the
nearest main grid. A solar electric system is arguably less expensive and can provide
power for a long time if properly maintained.
Another thing that people can enjoy from solar panels is that the fact that they can
enjoy the use of solar power. This type of energy is clean and renewable, making it
ideal as an energy source especially since global warming is rampant. It is essential
that mankind must do what it takes to reduce the degradation of the atmosphere from
the greenhouse gases’ emissions.
These are some facts about solar panels. Indeed, we should be thankful for the
invention of these devices as they allow people to harness energy without putting too
much damage on Mother Nature.

On-Grid/Off-Grid Systems
Suitable For Your Home
Many people have now made the choice to adopt solar energy in the Philippines due
to the abundance of sunlight all over the country, making it an extremely viable
choice when it comes down to it. Not only is it efficient, but using it also helps in the
world’s efforts in mitigating the effects of climate change.
When adopting this kind of technology, though, keep in mind that it can come in three
kinds: grid-tied, hybrid, and off-grid. Take your needs into consideration before
choosing which one you’d rather go with.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/on-off-grid-systems-home/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:20:19 AM

Take a look at their differences in the article below:
Off-grid
Off grid systems are those that can stand alone. To be able to have electricity all the
time, off grid solar systems should be connected to batteries that store the power, or
in case of an emergency, a backup generator. In order to keep the system in good
condition, battery banks that store the power harvested from the sun should be
replaced every ten years. Aside from batteries, you are also going to need charge
controllers, which will control the current of electricity going to the batteries and
prevent them from overcharging. When the sun sets, you’ll be running on the power
stored in the batteries.
Grid-tied
Grid-tied means that when you install your PV system, you use the electricity
generated from the PV system in the day, but use the electricity from national grid at
night. When your or any other homeowner’s PV system generates more electricity
that you consume, some utility companies buy that electricity. Better that that let it go
to waste, and better sell it than store it in batteries that you’ll have to replace every
ten years.
One of the good things about being tied to the grid is that if your PV systems fail, you

have back up and your house will immediately switch to consuming electricity from
the national grid. This prevents any sudden interruption of power.
One of the other things you’ll need for this PV system is a solar inverter or grid-tie
inverter. These regulate the current you receive from your solar panels by converting
the direct current your solar panels generate into alternating current which is what
electrical appliances utilize.
Hybrid
Hybrid means that you both have batteries to store your power in like off-grid
systems, but you are also connected to the national grid. However, you don’t have a
backup generator because you’re already connected to the national grid. If your PV
system generates more than you consume, the power is stored in the batteries, or
you can put it on the grid and sell it. You can also program your home to get off your
PV system or the grid during off-peak hours.
You’re going to need most of the components for the off-grid and grid-tied for the
hybrid except for the generator.
The type of system you want to install is ultimately up to you. So which kind of
system do you think is perfect for your home? Either way, investing in green tech is
never a bad idea.

Germany and Its Solar

Energy
Germany is one of the 177 countries (as of July 2016) that signed Paris
Agreement. In it, countries from all around the world have agreed to
actively fight global warming by reducing their emission of greenhouse
gases. These countries, quite literally, want to save the world. In order to
do so, we don’t have to turn to unrealistic solutions and extravagant
technologies; the simple way to do it is to juts use more renewable energy.
Renewable energy
There are many sources of renewable energy: solar energy, where energy
from sunlight is harvested and converted into electricity using solar panels;
wind, which can be harvested using wind turbines (or windmills); tidal,
which can be harvested by the turbines that spin from the movement of
waves; wave, where seawater movement compresses air and spins the
turbine; geothermal, where cold water is pumped into the ground and
comes back up as steam which is used to power the turbines to create
electricity; hydroelectric, where energy is harvested from the movement of
water through bodies of water such as rivers, and dams; and biomass,
where energy is harvested from chemically treating animal waste or
decaying organic materials, but is only considered renewable energy if
crops or organic materials are replanted.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/germany-and-its-solar-energy/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:21:34 AM

Advantages
One of the advantages of renewable energy is that it will never run out.
That’s why it’s called renewable – because the source of the energy is
sustainable which allows it to be used continuously. The energy that can
be harvested from nature is potentially infinite. Another is that when power
produced by converting the energy is used, there is no waste products,
unlike non-renewable energy sources that release pollutants or
greenhouse gases when burned through to be consumed.
Germany’s surplus of energy

On the 8th of May, all of the power suppliers of Germany, from solar,
hydro, biomass, and wind plants, were providing Germany with 55GW of
the 63GW, or 87%, of the power being consumed by the market. Because
of this overabundance of renewable energy, the prices went negative for a
few hours, which means that the power suppliers of the country had to pay
the people to use the electricity they were generating.
According to Agora Energiewende, last year, 33% of the power came from
renewable energy, and they hope that the number will rise when they
launch the wind turbines. Agora has also mentioned that every year, the
share of renewable energy rises every year, and 8th of May showed that
having a power system that supplies large amounts of power from
renewable energy works just fine.
Germany aims to achieve 100% renewable energy by year 2050.
Denmark is already generating so much electricity from their wind turbines
that they’re exporting the extra to neighboring countries such as Germany,
Sweden, and Norway.

Solar Flares: What Are They?

There is no shortage of solar energy in the Philippines since the sun is out
all the time. However, just because the sun is out and shining, doesn’t
mean we can actually look at it the way we admire the moon at night; and
just because we can’t actually see what’s going on on the sun’s surface
with our naked eye the way we can see the craters on the moon, it doesn’t
mean nothing is happening there. A lot is actually happening there.
One of the things that happen on the surface of the sun is a solar flare. In
other stars, these flares are called stellar flares
Solar flares
Solar flares happen when magnetic energy is built up and suddenly
released into the solar atmosphere which results in a flash of brightness,
like a whip cracking, on the surface of the sun. These solar flares are
made up of atoms, electrons, and ions, which are released into the
corona, the outermost layer of the atmosphere of the sun which can be
seen by the naked eye during solar eclipses. Solar flares are caused by
the interaction of charged particles with plasma. These charged particles
of magnetic energy move in loops, turns into kinetic energy, and is
released when the energy is built up. These flares usually occur on the
most active parts of the sun where magnetic fields are much stronger.
They also happen in all layers of the atmosphere of the sun. Plasma is
heated to millions of Kelvin, and the charge of ions can go as fast as the
speed of light.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/solar-flares-what-are-they-7-their-effects/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:22:01 AM

Effects of Solar flares on earth

When solar flares are released by the sun, the flares release clouds of
particles which reach Earth in about two days. Because the Earth is
protected by the atmosphere and magnetic fields, these harmful clouds full
of radiation can’t reach her children. These clouds from the sun are full of
charged particles and radiation, primarily x-rays. Other types of radiation
that flares produce are gamma rays, and radiation from across the
electromagnetic spectrum.
The atmosphere stops these clouds and radiation from reaching the
surface of the Earth, but they do disturb the ionosphere which also
disturbs the communication. These clouds also carry with them ultraviolet
(UV) radiation, which makes it more difficult for satellites to stay on orbit,
meaning their life is reduced.
These flares can also cause geomagnetic storms. Geomagnetic storms
happen when flares from the sun disturb the Earth’s magnetosphere.
These storms can cause errors in the information provided by global
positioning systems and cause disturbances and can change the
pathways of radio signals, and other navigational systems such as the
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and can harm power grids
that rely on geomagnetically induced currents. Even though these storms
sound quite frightening, they do cause some beautiful auroras.
Don’t underestimate the star closest to us! Sure the sun is beautiful and
helps life thrive on earth, but it can also be terrifying for he can take that
life, too. Remember to wear sunblock every day!

Three Major Benefits of Going Green
The availability of affordable solar panels in the Philippines is an indication that Filipinos are slowly
embracing what we call the ‘sustainable lifestyle’. Sustainable living refers to a healthy living that
uses fewer natural resources and reduces an individual’s carbon footprint to the environment.
Sustainable living may include consuming less energy, saving water, eliminating toxic products at
home, practicing the 3 R’s (reducing, reusing, and recycling), eating and growing organic food,
and practicing minimalism, among others. Such sustainable habits can give a quality life not only to
us but for the future generation as well.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/three-major-benefits-of-going-green/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:22:27 AM

If you haven’t considered joining this movement already, here are a few of the many benefits of going
green to help you decide. Read on and learn the advantages of living a sustainable life.
Financial Benefits
One of the obvious benefits of going green is that it will actually help you save money. It’s really not
that costly, as most people may think! Practice the green habits enumerated below to that help save
the environment and your financial assets as well.
● Switch to solar panels. These will benefit you in the long run.
● If solar panels are not your choice, opt for compact fluorescent light (CFL) or light-emitting diode (LED) bulb.
These types of bulb consume less energy compared to their counterparts.
● Replace some of your household items with energy-efficient appliances and solar-powered gadgets.
● Unplug home appliances, such as TV, computer, and air conditioner when not in use. This green habit will
definitely reduce your utility bills.
● Start composting. This will prevent you from spending money when buying commercial fertilizer. This will also
reduce the trash you send in the landfill.
A Healthier Life
Switching to sustainable lifestyle will definitely provide you a healthier life. Here are some green
habits that promote a healthier and sustainable life.
● Opt for organic food. Organically grown food does not have any toxic chemicals in it, making it a healthier
choice compared to conventionally grown food. Grow them yourself if the ones in grocery stores are too
expensive.
● Ditch toxic products and start using natural cleaners and beauty products. Doing this will lessen your
exposure to various toxic chemicals found in commercial products that are harmful to your health.
● When buying a certain home supplies, choose product that packaged in glass or bottle containers rather than
the plastic ones. Many types of plastic have been shown to have toxic chemicals that are risky to human’s
health.
● Opt for walking or biking to lessen the use of your vehicle. Such practice will reduce the air pollution and will
give you a clean and clear air to breathe.
A Sustainable World
All the mentioned sustainable habits will definitely result to the most important benefit of going green
—having a sustainable world. A sustainable world will have improved quality of air and water, less
solid waste, decrease in carbon footprint, reduced fossil fuel dependency, the right amount of food
supply for everyone, well-maintained natural resources, a balanced ecosystem, and a rich
biodiversity, among others.
These are only a few of the many benefits of going green. As a citizen, it is important that we do our
part in conserving and protecting our Mother Earth every day. After all, we are the ones who will
ultimately benefit from it.

Are Green Roofs Really Good

For You?
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/green-roofs-good/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:22:53 AM

Solar panels in the Philippines can be now seen on the roofs of various
establishments, farms, and even households. Another popular trend are green
roofs, wherein grass and plants are grown on the rooftops. Green roofs typically
consist of a waterproofing membrane, growing soil, and plants. These have
become a trend among architects and urban planners due to the various
benefits it brings to both private and public sectors.
Just how good are they for the environment and for the people in and out of the
establishment? Let’s consider the benefits they bring.
Decreases outside Noise

A green roof system can serve as a sound barrier against the exterior noises. It
provides good sound insulation, minimizing the outside noise coming in and the
inside noise getting out. This is especially useful if the house or building is
located in an urban area. 0041 green roof can reduce eight decibels of outside
noise compared to the traditional roof.
Energy Efficient
Since green roofs provide great insulation, it can reduce the needed amount of
energy to cool down the living space. It can help in the reduction of energy
consumption significantly during summer, when we tend to turn up the a/c just
to stay cool.
However, the outcome may vary depending on the climate condition, thickness
of the insulation, and type of the building or construction.
Improved the Quality of Air

The plants on green roofs clean the air by capturing the airborne pollutants and
atmospheric deposition. A green rooftop can also filter the noxious gases,
which are harmful to all living things. It also helps in reducing the hazardous
waste in the air we breathe in.
Increases Solar Panel’s Efficiency

The efficiency of solar panels will increase since green roofs can help them in
absorbing the heat easily, thus, making them more effective.
Reduction of Carbon Dioxide

Carbon Dioxide is one of the major causes of global warming. By creating a
green roof, you reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. Moreover, every
year, 1m2 of a green roof can absorb for about five kilograms of carbon dioxide.
Storm water Management

One of the major benefits of green roof technology is its ability to manage the
rainwater. A green space can absorb up to 80% of rainwater, thus, reducing the
chance of flooding. It also decreases the storm water runoff that flows to the
gutter and sewer, thus, reducing the stress on sewer system and peak flow
period. Moreover, the storm water becomes
Opportunities for Urban Agriculture

Urban agriculture is known to contribute in community building, food security,
and economic development. Creating a green roof can create more
opportunities for urban agriculture. Utilizing your roof as a farm or garden can
be a solution in reducing your community’s carbon footprint when creating a
local food system.
Are green roofs really good for you? Definitely yes! Planting your rooftops
definitely brings many benefits to private, public, social, and economic sectors.
Join the green movement, turn your house into a green home, and consider a
green roof!

How to Turn Your House into a Green

Home
Increasing the usage of solar panels in the Philippines is well and good, but that’s only the
beginning. There are even more adjustments you can make in your home that could decrease
excessive use of energy and decrease the rate of global warming. Join the green movement and
start building a green home by following the practical tips below.
For the Living Room

https://solaric.com.ph/blog/how-to-turn-your-house-into-a-green-home/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:23:21 AM
● Big Windows in your living room and other parts of the house will increase the insulation and optimize
sunlight throughout the room. It will also lessen the use of light and electric fans or air-conditioning.
● Replace Bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and light-emitting diode (LED) to save up to 66%
more energy. Switching to such types of bulbs will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of your house by
400 pounds.
● Unplug home appliances, such as TV and computer when they are not in use.
● Power Strips are great for plugging groups of home appliances and gadgets. It reduces power usage AND
makes it easy for you to unplug several electronics at once.
In the Bedroom
● Grow houseplants to improve the quality of air in your bedroom. In some cases this can also lessen your
usage of electric fans or air conditioner.
● Don’t overcharge your mobile phones, tablets, and other gadgets. You should particularly avoid charging
your gadgets before going to sleep as this will uses up more energy. You may want to start using solar-
powered gadgets as well.
● Use a ceiling fan instead of the regular electric fan. A ceiling fan uses only 2% of the energy compared to its
standing counterpart.
In the Bathroom
● Turn off the tap when you are brushing your teeth or applying facial wash, et c.
● Inspect for possible leaks, as leakage in your tap can waste up to 182 liters of water every year. Regularly
inspect your faucet and all other plumbing to ensure that it is free from any leakage.
In the Kitchen
● Switch to non-toxic cleaning products and ditch your regular cleaning products. Kitchen ingredients, such
as baking soda and lemon are some of the natural cleaners you can use.
● Compost kitchen scraps as this could serve as your instant organic fertilizer. You will also reduce the
amount of solid waste sent to the landfill.
● Avoid Plastic Containers when buying your toiletries or kitchen condiments. Instead, opt for glass
containers, as you can reuse the glass containers afterwards.
In the Laundry Area

● Hang clothes to dry instead of using the dryer, which could produce 2 to 3 kilograms of carbon emissions.
Hang your clothes on a clothesline instead to reduce the carbon emissions and save energy at the same
time.
● Use cold water for washing clothes (unless hot water is necessary) as heating water can use up as much
85% to 90% of energy.
These are practical tips and sustainable habits you and your family can apply in your own home.
Start doing the simple tips mentioned above and you’ll know you’re doing your part in making our
environment a better place to live in. After all, the environment is everyone’s responsibility.

What are the Benefits of Saving

Electricity?
Environmental organizations are urging everyone to play their part in conserving and protecting our
Mother Earth. One of the easiest ways to contribute to this is by consuming less energy daily.
Contrary to the popular notion that solar panels are costly, many affordable prices of solar panels in
the Philippines are available to urge the Filipino people in switching into an energy-efficient living.
Choosing to consume less energy will provide many positive impacts to both people and
environment. Now is the perfect time to join the conservation movement and start opting for energy-

efficient appliances. To convince you to make the switch to the sustainable lifestyle, here are the top
beneficial reasons to make your humble abode an energy efficient one.
Saving Electricity Saves You Money

One of the most appealing benefits of consuming less energy is the opportunity to save money. For
example, opt for light-emitting diode (LED) bulb because it only uses 2 to 17 watts of electricity. It
can also last longer than the other types of bulbs, so you don’t have to constantly replace your bulbs.
Making various energy-efficient home improvements will enable you to do your part in reducing
energy consumption and lessen your monthly expenditure as well.
Reduce
Fossil fuels are burned in order to produce energy, but it also has negative side effects to the
environment. The burning of fossil fuel produces heat-trapping gases, which is the primary cause of
global warming. When you consume less energy or install solar panels at home, you can reduce the
need to burn several fossil fuels. You may argue that it’s just one home against millions of others, but
it’s a start.
Reduces your Carbon Footprint

Carbon footprint refers to the environmental impact of a certain individual to the environment. Carbon
footprint has two types—primary and secondary. The primary footprint refers to all the carbon dioxide
emissions created when fossil fuels are burned. The secondary carbon foot print refers to the indirect
carbon dioxide emissions formed through manufacturing or breaking various products. Opting for
energy-efficient appliances, such as LED or CFL bulbs or simply unplugging home appliances when
not in use are simple steps in reducing your carbon footprint.
Conserve our Mother Earth

All the benefits mentioned above just boil down to one of the most important benefits of saving
electricity— the conservation of the environment. Consuming less energy or cutting back on the
electricity use will lessen the need for the production of energy. Then, there will be a lesser carbon
dioxide emissions that will contribute to the climate change. Thus, it will create a cleaner and
healthier air.
Doing more with less energy is definitely beneficial for people and environment. Starting to save
energy does not have to be complicated nor expensive. There are several easy ways to reduce your
carbon footprint without having to bend over backwards. Simple energy-saving habits, such as
turning off the lights when not in use and turning down a water heater are already big help in the
environment and for you as well.

The Many Benefits of Utilizing Solar Energy

Soaring solar panel prices in the Philippines are not stopping companies from trying to harness the power of the sun. Solar energy is abundant in the Philippines, and it would
be a waste not to take advantage of it. If you’re still not convinced that using solar energy is good for you, the people around you, and the environment, here are a few more
arguments that will hopefully budge you.
Solar energy is a renewable source of energy.

This means it will never run out. It is available all around the world every single day. It is impossible to run out of solar energy, and as long as the sun shines, it is available for
us to harness. We still have about 5 billion years before our sun dies, according to scientists, so that’s a lot of time!
Solar energy will reduce your electricity bills

Because you’re going to use the power generated by your installed solar power system during the day, you won’t be using the electricity from the grid and your bill will likely
drop. However, how much you save will depend on how much power and heat you consume. If you’re connected to the grid and you’re consuming more than you’re generating,
you’ll still be getting power from the grid. However, if you’re consuming less than you’re generating, the excess power is fed into the grid and you might receive payment for the
amount of electricity. You might even receive more if you sell more of your excess electricity.
Solar panels have diverse applications

Solar panels, or photovoltaics, are what’s used to harvest the power of the sun to generate electricity, while solar thermal is what’s used to heat water. Other uses are to
generate electricity for people who have no access to the national grid, or to treat and distill water in places where there isn’t much clean water, and even power the satellites
that are in space. Recently, they’ve been integrating solar panels into the materials used to put up buildings. Some time ago, a company unveiled a kind of solar panel that is
transparent that can be used for windows.

Solar panels do not emit pollution

Since you’re not burning anything while generating electricity from the sunlight that hits the solar panels, there is no pollution. This is very much unlike the other modes of
electricity generation, such as gas and coal plants which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and nuclear plants which release waste into the environment.
Solar has low maintenance costs

These systems don’t necessarily need that much maintenance since there aren’t many moving parts. All you have to do is to clean them a few times once a year and make sure
that they’re taking in as much sunlight as they can and no dust is reflecting the sunlight.
If we rely more on renewable energy sources, we can reduce the harmful gases that we’re releasing into the atmosphere and maybe even stop global warming. It’s time to go to
the right direction and save mother earth!

How Strong is the Sun?

In the Philippines, solar panel installations are not uncommon. With the sun’s ever
present energy beaming down on to the country on a near daily basis, it’s a truly
viable option for renewable power that many have now taken up.
That may lead one to wonder as to the true power of the sun. So, how strong is it,
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/how-strong-sun/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:25:02 AM

really?
General information
Even in science’s early years, the sun has always been pegged as a prominent
feature of our solar system. In fact, that’s not far from the truth – we can prove today
that the sun does compose a whopping 99.8% of our solar system. Comprised of
70% hydrogen and 28% helium, among other elements, the sun is a truly central
attribute of the space around us.
So much so that many stories, legends, and myths – most of which can be dated
back to centuries before – have been created with it as the catalyst for all life. That’s
not far from the truth, either, as the sun is has been a source of human power – one
way or another – for a very, very long time.
The Power of the Sun

The core of the sun is an extreme environment, with temperatures reaching up to
15.6 million Kelvin (27M °F or 15M °C) and a pressure of 250 billion atmospheres.
The power of the sun is around 386 billion mega Watts, formed by nuclear fusion
reactions. Its energy is also made out of 5,000,000 tons of gamma rays where each
second 700,000,000 tons of hydrogen gas are then turned into 695,000,000 tons of
helium.

The Parts of the Sun

There are three major parts of the sun: namely the photosphere, chromosphere, and
the corona. All have different ranges of temperatures because of its distance and
placement in the sun’s structure.
● Photosphere – this is the area where the sun’s radiation is seen as sunlight, with a
temperature of around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit or 5,500 degrees Celsius. The sunspots
are darker and cooler; their temperature lingers at about 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit or
4,000 degrees Celsius.
● Chromosphere – light from chromosphere isn’t that strong, but can be seen as a red rim
during solar eclipses. The temperature here is about 7,800 degrees Fahrenheit or 4,320
degrees Celsius.
● Corona – temperature is the highest in the corona, with it reaching scorching temperatures
of 3.5 million degrees Fahrenheit or 2 million degrees Celsius. It is visible during solar
eclipses as a plasma stream shaped like a crown.
The Sun’s Age

It stands at the old age of 4.5 billion years old, with only temperature changes to
show for its age. The general estimate for its lifespan is 5 billion, and once it reaches
that point, it will have lost all of its hydrogen fuel and, as a result, self-destruct from it.
It will become such a powerful event that it is highly likely to impact the Earth. Even
its position as the third planet from the Sun will not save it from burning when the

time comes.

Sun Gods of Different Cultures

More people nowadays are considering getting solar panel installations in the
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/sun-gods-of-different-cultures/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:25:56 AM

Philippines due to its convenience and efficiency when it comes to costs. The power
of the sun is abundant, after all, so installing a solar panel in one’s home or
establishment is definitely a worthwhile investment. But, have you ever wondered
how the world’s different cultures viewed the sun during the early years?
Different civilizations had beliefs that revolved around the worship or the importance
of the sun. As numerous cultures arose, diverse sun gods also emerged. Here are
some of the most popular sun gods during the time:
Apollo
There were two deities named Apollo that were worshipped – one was the patron god
of poetry, medicine, and mathematics; the other Apollo was the Roman sun god of
healing, light, and music.
Ama-terasu
Ama-terasu is the Japanese’s version of a sun god. In fact, the whole country loved
the sun – the early name for the place, Nihon, meant “origin of the sun”. This was due
to their location and the way that the sun rose within the country. When it came down
to it, they were so fond of the sun that they even incorporated it into the national flag
– that’s what the red ball against the white background symbolizes.
Liza
The African Sun Gods were namely Mahu and Liza, twins from Nana Buluku. They
symbolized balance between the sky and earth. Liza is known as the male who
brought power from the sun and skies while the female was Mahu who meant the
moon and earth who brought fertility in the African culture.
Maui
Maui is a Polynesian Sun God by the folk lore of people from the Pacific. It originated
from New Zealand that were mentioned in Tongan, the Maui Fusi-Fonua and
Tangoloa.
Ra or Re
Ra or Re was the Egyptian Sun God believed that it was the manifestation of god
with other names of gods as well. They said that men were born from the tears of Ra,
created from his image and flesh to give support and care for mankind.
The Ten Suns

Yang is a sun made of fire and the Yin is the moon originated from the Chinese Sun
Gods. They believed that 10 suns existed in the sky brought by the heavens by a
chariot drawn by dragons.
Utu
This was the Sumerian Sun God, the premiere sun worshippers. There were other
gods that were worshipped such as the triad of planetary great gods – the Utu.
Yhi
Many people believed that the Aboriginal Sun Spirit brought light into our world, the
sun spirit named Yhi. Baiame and Yhi were inseparable because of their warmth and
light contribution to the world.
As you can see, the sun has been a long standing symbol for humans everywhere,
no matter the time period. The mere fact that we are now able to harness its power
and turn it into electricity is truly a wonder. So the next time you look up at the sky,
remember that you’re looking at the same sun the ancient people did hundreds – and
even thousands – of years ago.

3 Ways to Protect Yourself from

the Sun
With the sun’s persistent presence in the sky and its ever-warming rays consistently
beaming down onto the Earth, solar energy in the Philippines remains abundant and
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/ways-protect-from-sun/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:26:27 AM

infinitely renewable. Here, where the weather is dictated by only two seasons (the
rainy and the summer), enjoying a bright, sunny day is the norm.
But be warned, as overexposure to the sun can cause problems. It can range from
something as small as wrinkles and sunburns to even skin cancer. That said, read up
on the following tips on how you can enjoy the temperate outdoors without having to
worry about its negative effects:
Use some sunscreen

Sunscreen can come in many varieties, but it’s usually a good rule of thumb to pick
ones that are SPF 15 and above. For those with sensitive skin, though, SPF 45 may
be more advisable. When picking, also make sure the check the bottle for the label
“broad spectrum”; this indicates that the sunscreen will be capable of protecting you
from both UVA and UVB rays.
Apply your sunscreen on all exposed skin about 20-30 minutes before exposure.
Reapply every two hours, especially if you have sweated or swam.
Fun fact: An average person’s body needs at least 45 milliliters of sunscreen to cover
all of their exposed skin – that’s about one typical shot glass!
Wear proper clothing

Those living in tropical countries, such as the Philippines, usually don’t’ cover
themselves up too much due to the heat. However, if you’re conscious about sun

exposure, then it’s the best option you’ve got aside from using an umbrella.
As much as possible, wear long sleeved shirts and long pants to minimize skin
exposure. You can also opt to wear wide brimmed hats – about 3 inches or more on
the rim – and sunglasses to ensure that you’re kept safe from the sun’s rays.
Go out at the right times

When going out anytime between 10 and 4pm, and especially at noon, make sure to
keep away from the sun whenever you can. That’s because the sun is at its peak
during these hours, and is more likely to burn you than any other time.
Equip yourself with an umbrella or a wide jacket, and seek shade whenever possible.
Even within your car you may still be prone to burns. That said, if you live in
particularly sunny areas, tint your windows. This will keep the rays out while also
keeping the insides of your car cooler. It also gives you a bit more privacy.
Remember that the sun, while a beneficial addition to the Earth’s environment, can
still be devastating when overexposure comes into play. When enjoying its warm
rays, keep in mind that moderation is key.

Benefits of Going to the Solar 101 and 202 Seminars

Start a new business or install solar panels priced in the Philippines at the least possible cost by doing it yourself.
At Solaric, we trained over a thousand people in our solar 101 and solar 202 seminars; and its starting to change the rooftop solar
landscape in the Philippines. Our independent dealers and installers can be found all over the Philippines, taking solar from fringe
to a mainstream source of energy.
In just one weekend, we share our know-how to build solar systems, help you avoid palpak builds, and sizing them to perfection.
You might be asking, why are we sharing our trade secrets? The answer is simple: here in Solaric, we want to jump-start the solar
industry, especially since climate change is now becoming more of a reality.
Our “trade secret” is our guiding philosophy: Design and build every system as if it’s our own money in the line; that’s how we
started, and that’s how we do it.
Sorry, but we do NOT do free “Sell-Me Na-rs.” We value your time and this is not a mindless seminar to sell you equipment, but
rather for you to make an informed choice over the many types of PV solar systems in the market and get you in the “know” how it
works before you make a decision.
Our serious clients always look for meaningful content and for that we have to give a quality seminar that has the consumable
equipment, textbooks, expert instructors, and plenty of real-world experience from our battery of engineers.
The event costs P5000 per day and is divided into two segments: Solar 101 and Solar 202. For more information when’s our next
seminar, click here!

For those on a budget, one free advice we could give is for you to make a quick trip to our showroom during weekdays.
You do not have to be an electrical engineer to comprehend this seminar, but you should at least be a high school or college
graduate as we are doing some high school math and a little algebra on some of our computations (aside from the usual business
math).
Our two-day Solar 101 and 202 covers the mechanics on how to integrate solar panels to any electrical system—from ice plants to
a small residential project. Salient details on how solar works, how to pick solar panels like a pro, computation for return on
investment, and things to watch out for when installing high powered solar systems are covered in length.
Who attends our seminars, you ask? We often have astute businessmen, energy executives, Solar farm designers, Energy
companies, homeowners, enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and solar companies, who want to be well informed, as our audience. This
means that you can expect meaningful, professional content.
Certificate of completion, hot meals, and chances to win great prizes on the raffle table are included.
There are discount vouchers worth more than the entrance fee, and attendees of the 202 workshop are privy to installer rates for
key materials if they decide to get into the business.
Our Solar 101 course was developed with input from experienced solar installers, who come from around the world, that have
practical experience in doing hundreds of rooftops in the Philippines. Although this does not mean they are not comprehensible to
the common man, businessman, and appreciable to even the most seasoned electrical engineer. In fact, it’s the other way around.
Solar 202, on the other hand, is for people who want to go to the next step and get into the boots of an installer for a day. They will
be wiring up live systems and watch the electric meter spin backward with our ERC-approved grid tie methods.
Graduates of 202 are then given full access to our arsenal of Solaric tested and approved materials such as Tier 1 solar panels, off
grid and grid tie inverters, lithium, and non-lithium batteries at industry insider rates to grow their business.

How successful is Solar 101 and 202?

We measure our seminars’ success through our attendees’ success, and they alone have installed thousands of Solaric products
and solar panels all over the Philippines.
Almost every day a new house or business somewhere in the Philippines goes online from Solaric-trained installers and dealers.
From Luzon to the farthest corners of Mindanao, we are turning the lights ON, lowering bills, and bringing smiles by using eternal
sunshine.
At Solaric, We Turn On the Sun and Brilliant Minds!

How to Safely Work on a Roof

Image by Andreas Weiland
With the constant heat, it is tempting to manually install solar panels in the Philippines but the price
people in doing so without safety precautions could be fatal. To get this renewable energy source on the
roof of your home safely, it’s best to have it professionally done. As for other work you need to do on the
roof, here are a few tips to stay safe.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/safely-work-roof/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:27:52 AM

Guard Rails
Guardrail systems are used to make removable guardrails on your roof. This can be attached to any type of
roof at any angle. It also has risers which can accept any standard 2×4 piece of wood. When connected to
each other, they create a stable rail system for your roof.
The rail system acts as the vertical bars that support the wood which act as the horizontal bars. These also
have holders at the bottom to hold 2×4’s that act as toe boards so that tools don’t fall off. Install this on all
the edges of your roof or, at least, on the steep parts of it.
Toe Board Brackets

Aside from the toe boards on the rail systems, toe board brackets are devices that can be used while
working on a roof to provide stable footing for on any part of the roof. This bracket is weaved into the roofing
to remain stable while being used. 3 are needed in order to hold up a 12 foot 2×6. This especially useful
because it can also act as a slide guard so you can bring along your tools with you to any part of the roof
without worrying that they will slide off and injure someone on a lower level. These brackets are easily
removed without damage to the roof.
Use a Good Ladder

And use it well. If you are on the ladder and it gives way, then the fall could be fatal for you and/or whoever
you might land on. To ensure that this doesn’t happen, a ladder is something you shouldn’t skimp money
on. You must also know how to use it properly.
First, the ladder must be tall enough to reach the edge of your roof and have a 3-foot allowance. Then, you
must know how to set it properly, a.k.a. the following:
● Use a flat surface.
● Set it at a correct angle; too steep could make it fall over; too angled could make it slide out from underneath.
● Screw in 2×4’s at the feet of the ladder to prevent it from sliding off.
● Secure the ladder either by tying it to the roof or using a ladder stabilizer.
Other Safety Measures

● Use bright warning lines to warn yourself of dangerous areas such steep parts of the roof, unprotected edges,
skylight holes, etc.
● Have safety signs and plans regarding where certain risks are in the roof and where to be extra careful.
● Wear a hard hat to protect yourself from falling items.
Being safe on the roof is all about the having the right tools, using them properly, and being responsible not
only for your own safety but for others. These are all good investments to ensure that you can improve your
house without risking your life.

Pros and Cons of Going Green in Your

Business
With large corporations being largely responsible for many kinds of pollution, concerned businesses have
become more conscious of their carbon footprint. Some are now putting more effort into going green.
Business owners make this decision for several reasons: to help save the earth, to become more appealing
to the masses, and for long-term cost-efficiency.
In the Philippines, the price of solar panels have dropped significantly over the last few years due to
cheaper materials and popular demand. This is why they are becoming ever so popular in residences and
businesses intending to go green. Here’s a quick comparison of pros and cons
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/pros-cons-going-green-business/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:28:26 AM

Pros
Save Money
The primary benefits of utilizing renewable energy and other efforts towards sustainability are efficiency in
energy consumption and reduced waste. Consequently, this also means you get to save a lot of money in
the long run. Your electric bill will be considerably lowered, and a substantial amount could be saved by
reducing the total number of paper that your company has to use.
Branding
Consumers are constantly looking for ways to ‘help the world, – in a way, it’s sad that many people only do
this by choosing products that blatantly announce being environmental-friendly. Branding your business as
being eco-friendly makes it more appealing to the masses – however, make sure that it’s authentic. Those
caught greenwashing, which is – claiming to be more eco-friendly than you really are, you will lose the trust
and respect of the consumers.
Boosting Company Morale

When people search for a job, one of the first things that comes to their minds when looking for a company
is its reputation. Having a reputation of being one of the few eco-friendly companies in a specific industry
will definitely increase the overall respect and admiration that you receive from the community. Similarly,
research shows that companies whose focus is directed at sustainability have employees that are more
committed and motivated. Many people want to work for companies that care about the world, and are more
than happy to contribute.
Cons
It Takes Time
Going eco-friendly is a process that takes up a considerable amount of time, effort, and money. The
decision can happen overnight, but actually implementing and maintaining it takes quite a while.
Consequently, choosing to make this decision will require you to put in constant effort to maintain and care
for the changes that you’ve integrated into the company.
Initial Costs are Higher

Initial cost is for eco-friendly alternatives tend to be more expensive when compared to their mass-produced
counterparts. Why? Because the production scale of eco-friendly products is still considerably small and
currently aren’t the norm. Take this for example: solar panels are cheaper now, but you’ll still need to pay for
purchasing the panels and installation. They don’t just come with a newly bought or rented office or
commercial space like a normal power supply. However, in the long-run, the amount that you will save will
eventually surpass the initial costs.
Eco-friendly household products such as those used for cleaning are far less toxic. You won’t be exposing
yourself, the staff, and the customers to poisonous chemicals each time you spray. Other items considered
to be friendly to the environment include solar-powered gadgets and sustainable products such as stainless
steel straws and reusable bags in lieu of plastic.
Going green might sound too much of a hassle at first, but if you read and hear testimonies from people that
are already in the “green” business, you’ll know that it is quite rewarding. Aside from benefitting your
business and the environment, it’ll also help you grow as an individual that contributes to a good cause in
the world.

4 More Solar-Powered Inventions Around the World

Various sustainable habits are being promoted around the world to help preserve the environment and the planet we live in. Such habits include opting for natural
household products and reducing solid waste through recycling and reusing. In the Philippines, the prices of solar panels have become affordable enough that
more and more people are using it.
Technology also plays significant role in both worsening and improving the condition of the Earth. Since the advent of technology brings various benefits to
humankind, creative minds maximize the availability of new technologies to developed innovations that will benefit everyone, including the environment. Here are a
few more incredible solar-powered inventions that are wonderful alternatives to their regular counterparts.
SOL Laptop
SOL, the world’s first solar-powered laptop, was developed by WeWi to aid education in developing countries. This laptop was designed with extreme durability and
detachable solar panels, making it efficient to use anywhere you go. It can last for about 8 to 10 hours without being plugged in and only needs to be charged for two
hours.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/4-more-solar-powered-inventions-world/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:28:58 AM
ZubaBox
An Internet café often uses more electricity since it has several computer units that need to be connected with the outlet, which results to more usage of energy. But
did you know that it is possible to build a solar-powered Internet shop?
ZubaBox was developed by Computer Aid International to provide computer solutions in a medical mission in Zambia. This Internet café was constructed using
shipping containers, low-power lights, and polycrystalline solar panels. Since then, ZubaBox was also installed in other countries, such as Kenya, Nigeria, and
Zimbabwe.
Solar Impulse Plane
Typically, an airplane uses a petroleum-based fuel, such as aviation fuel to power up. But for engineer Andre Borschberg and aeronaut Bertrand Piccard, it is
possible to fly an aircraft without utilizing fuel, which lessens green gas emissions. With this, they launched Solar Impulse.
Solar Impulse, a long-range experimental solar-powered aircraft project, created a single-seat aircraft that is powered by photovoltaic cells. In 2011, the first solar-
powered plane was able to fly its first international flight, which flew between Belgium and France. Solar Impulse Plane is considered the first aircraft to fly both the
day and night without fuel. Moreover, the Solar Impulse II finished an entire trip across the globe in July 2016, which lasted for more than 16 months.
Solar-powered Roadways
The first ever bike path was built in the Netherlands in 2015. The bike path stretches 230 ft. long and made up of crystalline silicon solar panels. The solar panels are
covered with tempered glass that is tough to withstand extreme weather and hundreds of cyclists that will traverse on it. On the other hand, France has plans, too, to
install solar pavers that will cover 1,000 km of the road.
There is no doubt that technology has been a great gift to people. Utilizing it in a good way will surely bring positive results to everyone just like the smart inventions
mentioned above. These new innovations will surely profoundly change the daily lives of people and help minimize worsening of the Earth’s condition.

4 Environmental Organizations in the Philippines

Let’s take a moment to appreciate various environmental organizations who are rallying against causes of climate
change, deforestation, pollution, and various other issues threatening earth. Their work is absolutely essential as we’re
now living on a planet where global temperature is significantly warmer than before (aka global warming) and our
forests are gradually losing the fight. To put it bluntly, we’re watching the world decay right before our eyes – and we
humans have caused it.
It’s a good thing that there are still good-hearted and concerned people who are addressing these problems. More
importantly, they concentrate efforts on remedying it and preventing further damage. That’s exactly why they’ve set up
these environmental organizations – to spearhead these efforts and promote sustainable habits such as consuming
organic food, recycling, and switching to solar panels. In the Philippines, you may have noticed some of their projects
such as Earth Hour and ROAD to 2020.
If you’re interest in helping out or at least learn more about them, we’ve provided a short list of the prominent
environmental organizations found in the country.
World Wildlife Fund

World Wildlife Fund is a worldwide environmental organization focusing on the protection of the Earth’s natural
resources. This includes our forests and oceans, among others. They are committed to preserving the biodiversity on
Earth and sustain life. WWF is the world’s leading and most influential conservation group, operating in over 100
countries and currently participated by five million people across the globe. They are responsible for Earth Hour, an
annual worldwide movement wherein lights are turned off in homes and businesses from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. This
event is conducted to celebrate sustainability. Since its foundation, Earth Hour has been supported by millions of
people and has been celebrated for nine years now.
Haribon Foundation
Haribon Foundation is an environmental organization that focuses on the biodiversity conservation of the Philippines.
Some of the their more prominent activities are mangrove restoration and tree planting. Another is the ROAD to 2020.
Rainforest Organization and Advocates (ROAD) to 2020 is a conservation movement that aims to restore the Philippine
rainforests by the year 2020. This movement intends to bring back the natural forests of the country by using native
tree species, such as apitong, lauan, and narra. You can participate in ROAD to 2020 by joining in tree planting, giving
a gift tree, or adopting a seedling.
Save Philippines Seas

Save Philippine Seas is an environmental organization focusing on the coastal and marine resources of the Philippines.
They conducts workshops and execute awareness campaigns, which aim to educate and encourage people to
participate in conservation activities and projects.
Earth Island Institute Philippines

Earth Island Institute Philippines concentrates on the conversation of wetlands in the country. They have been building
awareness about the conservation and restoration of the oceans and seas throughout the Philippines. In addition, they
also conduct coastal clean-ups and organize film showing about environmental issues.
These are some of the many environmental organizations in the Philippines that you can support to show your care for
our environment. Start volunteering, get involved, and take action in preserving and enhancing the current state of
Earth. After all, it is our responsibility to take care of it and make it sustainable for the next generation.

The Many Ways Climate Change

Affects You
Climate change has constantly been affecting every part of the world, slowly but surely. There
has been increase in the average global temperature, extreme rising sea levels, contaminated
water, floods, droughts, and increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Such changes are not only harmful to the environment but also for the health of all living
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/the-many-ways-climate-change-affects-you/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:29:51 AM

things in it.
Fortunately, the availability of affordable prices of solar panels in the Philippines is an
evident that the country is doing its best to fight the climate change. To convince you to join
the green movement, note these negative effects of climate change to the health of your loved
ones.
On the Air We Breathe

The extreme changes in our environment directly affect the quality of air that we breathe—
both indoors and outdoors. The rapid changes in temperature may worsen the condition of the
air quality and bring about various diseases. For example, frequent rain can increase the
presence of fungi, mold, and other indoor air pollutants. The chemical air pollutants from
various power plants and from burning fossil fuel could cause several respiratory conditions,
such as asthma, lung cancer, pulmonary disease, and emphysema, among others.
On the other hand, air pollution can also be obtained through various household chores, such
as cooking and heating using solid fuels. Hence, it is a more sensible choice to opt for
sustainable alternative of solid fuels.
On the Water We Drink

Contaminated water is definitely harmful to humans for obvious reasons. The changes in
climate could increase the temperature and will lead to frequent rainfalls that cause the water
level in oceans and seas to rise. The rising sea levels could lead to saltwater intrusion into
groundwater drinking supplies, resulting in contaminated water
On the Food We Eat

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can directly affect the food safety and its
distribution to the people. For example, the exposure of the ocean to various chemicals can
affect the contamination of seafood, such as fishes and shrimps. Frequent droughts and
floods also affect the agricultural and yield production that may compromise the food supply.
Changes in Temperature
Did you know that for every degree centigrade that the temperature raises, the death rate can
increase by 2% to 5%? Either extreme heat or cold is harmful to humans. Whether there is
higher humidity or hotter temperature, both conditions could encourage the reproduction of
more ticks, a bloodsucking insect, which spreads infections.
Climate change is definitely changing the way we live in this world. Various negative effects
are evident with the continually increasing of air and ocean temperature around the world.
Climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century.
Fortunately, several preventive measures are being promoted by various environmental
organizations to inform and persuade people to join the movement in saving and protecting
our environment. How well we survive will only depend on how well we adapt on these
changes and how well we are doing our part to stop such destructive changes. Get involved
now and start living a sustainable life.

Re-evaluating Solar Design

When it comes to rethinking the household’s solar panel design, a trending approach is going with wall-to-wall solar cells for the exterior. There are some solar panels that you can utilize to blend beautifully with standard
asphalt roofing materials.

Source: we-ha.com
Use It as a Shade
High-temperature areas (like the Philippines) are ideal locations for solar porches; the shade provided through solar filtered daylight makes for a dreamy view of the skies accompanied with a protective performance. Solar
skylight and solar shade are greatly utilized with see-through modifications integrated on exterior planes.
However, a common concern about spaces like these is the roofing since it is not part of the main structure; meaning, the area is not under the main roof.
One great way to make use of the airspace is by installing a small roofing system with solar panels.
This technique is more advisable for homeowners, who do not want to conduct a large-scale installation.
Different homes have varying porch sizes. While porches may have a significantly smaller floor area compared to the main body of the house, the floor space it occupies is sufficient enough for solar panels to be installed
on top.

Go for Black
Solar panels priced in the Philippines can either be in color blue or black; if you are torn about which one to choose, pick the black one.
In general, positioning black solar panels over a black roof can provide a seamless look not only for your roof, but for the overall curb appeal of the house.
You don’t have to worry about the color scheme of the house’s exterior because a black roof can blend well with dark-toned paint. If you prefer lighter tones for the main body of the house, having a black roof can make the
lighter shade pop and appear more vibrant.
Black solar panels are more aesthetically pleasing and go well easily with any exterior design—its components also absorb more solar power for the home.
They appear black due to the unique way sunlight interacts with the silicon layer of the panel. Unlike the silicon found in the blue solar panels, the ones in the black variants have a high purity level.
Key Takeaway
Navigating your way through the different solar panel prices in the Philippines is an exciting venture, when it comes to upgrading your home. It is indeed possible to have a home that directly has a positive impact on the
environment as well as look absolutely stylish.
Switching or converting your homes to use solar power does not mean that these households will look bland and robotic. There are many ways to tweak and re-design a solar powered house in order to achieve the most
luxurious of architectural peaks—just follow our tips above!

Purify Your Own Water

Sadly, the tap water in the Philippines is not clean. A number of households in the country get their drinking water from water purifying
stations near them. However, this option is not viable—because it means you have to pay every time to get access to crystal clear
water. Instead of doing this, you could invest in a water purifier to do the entire purifying process in your own home. By doing so, you
could just turn it on and drink the water there.

Plant Your Vegetable Garden

A vegetable garden is perfect for homes that have seniors living in them. Why? Well, there are a few reasons as to why it is perfect for
them. Let’s discuss some of them below.
● For obvious reasons, a vegetable garden provides people with the produce they need to live a healthy and nutricious life. The seniors living in your
home will surely benefit from all the vegetables you get from your patch of land.
● A vegetable garden also provides senior something to do during their spare time. For sure, they would love to tend to the produce available in your
garden so they could grow into something that they will enjoy on their plate someday; it’s the perfect pastime for them!
● Lastly, a vegetable garden is a nice addition to your own healthy home because it could be a source of income. This would be especially true if you
have a beautiful, flourishing garden.
Key Takeaway

3 Easy Hacks for Boosting Solar Cell

Efficiency
How can solar cell efficiency be improved?
1. Invest on a quality solar panel.
2. Make sure the panels get enough sun exposure.
3. Orient the solar arrays in the direction and angle that it can receive sunlight better.
Common solar cell efficiency may vary from around 10% to 20%. More and more people are installing solar
panel system in order to minimize their electricity bills. A common concern is whether the price of a solar
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/3-easy-hacks-boosting-solar-cell-efficiency/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:32:01 AM

panel in the Philippines affects its efficiency.

So, how do you make sure that your affordable solar panels are working efficiently, and are producing
maximum output to meet your needs? Here’s a few hacks to help you achieve that.
Make sure you’re investing on a quality solar panel.

Similar to buying the best meat for your family dinner, purchasing a panel for your solar PV system needs a
bit of canvassing. A lot of research and thought needs to be put into it before deciding first, whether a solar
panel system is right for you, and second, which is the best one. You can start by asking those in your
network who already have solar panels installed. You can also browse the internet to find a ton of
information on which particular panels are high-quality yet affordable.
Most solar panels today are made of silicon. This information can help you narrow down your options, and
get directly to the types of silicon solar panels. There’s crystalline, monocrystalline, and polycrystalline –
they differ on how silicon is used, its purity, and of course, the price.
For some, monocrystalline solar panels are better than polycrystalline as it is more heat tolerant and has a
higher efficiency level especially in the tropics.
Beware of shades
Sun exposure plays a huge role to your solar panel’s efficiency and output. Because efficiency refers to the
total percentage of the sun’s energy that solar cells accumulates to convert into electricity, it obviously relies
on direct sunlight. Output, on the other hand, is the electricity that the solar array generates from the
sunlight. The lesser the sun exposure, the lower the efficiency level.
This is particularly important in solar cells that are connected in a series. This is because when a single cell
is shaded, it can decrease the output of its neighboring cells in the series.
In order to prevent such situation, make sure you install your solar PV system in a spot where absolutely
nothing will block the sun rays.
Direction and angles matter.

When installing solar PV systems, it’s important to take the direction and angles of the panels into account
as this can affect the efficiency of the arrays. If you get to orient the panels in the right direction and angle,
there’s no more need to worry anymore about the sunlight that it receives in a day.
Additionally, the position and location of your home matters to the alignment of your solar system. Expert
solar installers will know how to mount your solar arrays, hence, make sure to purchase your solar panels
from a quality company that offers the instalment of the unit.
Key Takeaway
Increasing efficiency ensures that you get the maximum output from your solar PV system. Through these
simple ways, not only can you make sure that your solar arrays are efficient enough to produce more than
enough energy for your household needs, but that they can also be relied on for a longer time.

It’s not just technology that can get energy from the sun. We could benefit from basking in a some sunrays
too! Here are some reasons why getting some sunlight is good for your body.
Getting some Vitamin D
Solar panels harness energy from the sun to produce electricity. The human skin, meanwhile, gets a nice
dose of vitamins with just enough sunlight. Getting the right amount of sunlight give your body Vitamin D,
which is an essential element in your body’s nutrition. Vitamin D provides several health benefits, including
bone health, lowering blood pressure, and increasing brain activity. Getting some vitamin D also lowers the
risk of getting diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
body.
Gives you energy
Other than getting a healthy dose of vitamins, getting sunlight also energizes your body. Melatonin is the
hormone in your body that regulates your sleep cycle. Getting sunlight signals the brain and the pineal gland
to stop the production of melatonin. This will normalize a person’s sleep cycle, while also giving them a nice
energy boost during the day. With this in mind, going out to get some sun on your work or school break
gives your body that needed energy boost to get you through the rest of the day.
body.
Improves fertility

Melatonin is not only a hormone that regulates the body’s sleep cycle, but it also boosts fertility. Getting
sunlight is helps increase the overall length of being fertile by a number of years. For the males, sun
exposure boosts testosterone levels. This is one of the reasons why the summer season is a great time to
start a family.
Mood Lifter
Not getting enough sunlight can cause your body to have SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder. SAD is a
form of depression caused by the lack of sunlight, and is very common for people who work long hours
inside an office with no natural light. If you notice you’ve been feeling down and sluggish lately, try going
outside during the day to give your body a healthy dose of serotonin, a hormone that lifts up your mood.
Even with all the benefits above, it is important to protect your skin when going out for long periods of time.
Applying sunscreen on your skin protects you from UV rays which can harm your skin. The best times to go
out and get sunlight without risking skin cancer are during the early hours of the morning.
Just like how solar energy can power a home or business, sunlight gives a good amount of benefits to your
body. Normalizing your sleep schedule, getting an energy boost, increased fertility, and boosting your
overall mood… the benefits make it really worth it to get out and get sunlight every now and then. Don’t
forget the sunscreen!

Ever heard of the term ‘green technology’? Green technology refers to machinery and equipment used to
reverse the negative effects of human activity on our natural resources. It is closely associated with the use
of renewable natural resources such as sunlight and wind. Common examples of green technology include
wind turbines and solar panels. In the Philippines, the prices of green technology are slowly becoming
more and more affordable to encourage everyone to move into a sustainable lifestyle.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/future-green-technology/ (1 of 2)10/4/2018 7:34:00 AM

The Goal of Green Technology

Just like in any type of innovation, green technology has also was created with particular goals in mind. Its
primary purpose is for humans to be able to maximize the use of new technologies without compromising
our natural resources. This largely depends on being able to successfully introduce sustainable living to
people.
Sustainable living means living in a way that attempts to lessen the use of Earth’s natural resources and
reduce one’s carbon footprint. For example, electric cars are an ideal form of private transportation. Unlike
in a typical vehicle, an electric car uses rechargeable batteries that stores electrical energy. This means
there is no need to use fossil fuel to keep the car’s engine running, which lessens the greenhouse gas
emissions.
There are other several simple ways on how to live sustainably, such as eating organic food, making less
waste by practicing recycling and reusing, driving less, and opting for environmental-friendly products,
among others.
Future Trends in Green Technology

Here are some of the green technologies that will enhance the condition of the environment by making it
sustainable and efficient to live in.
● Alternative Energy – Countries such as Sweden and Denmark are already utilizing alternative energy to lessen the
dependency on fossil fuels. The availability of sunlight and wind makes it easier for people to switch to renewable
energy. In the Philippines, solar and wind energy are two renewable energies that are being utilized in both
residential and commercial establishments.
● Vertical Farming – Vertical farming is a modern take to traditional farming. Food is produced in vertically stacked
layers, to save space. It also aims to lessens the use of water and use of toxic pesticides.
Green technology is all about being practical and sustainable — being able to conserve and protect our
natural resources so we can have a better future and preserve enough resources for the future generation
as well.

How Coal Tax will Affect the Cost of Power in the

Philippines
A friend came to me saying that the coal tax is going to increase the cost of power in the Philippines, I said for cheaper energy its better we kick the coal habit
and take a look at the pro oligarch laws that limit RE. There are 450 government agency signatures to put up a solar plant and 3 years permitting for solar farms
and for home owners and business owners; arbitrary limitation of how many solar panels or how large of a solar system a Philippine factory or a school can put
on their roof and utility compliance hurdles from local and national government for a home setup.
We are after lower cost of energy; it’s the prime reason why people hire us to install solar panels. Half to total electric cost reduction is our goal and some of our
clients no longer have an electric bill.
Saying No to coal however is not easy. For years the Philippines was addicted to “cheap power” from coal generation and little after thought was given on
burning millions of tons of coal with no end. In 2008, about 24% of the energy needs came from coal plants and we are now edging at 50% coal power. This
addiction has caused massive poisoning of our lands, air, and even ground water for host communities, not to mention Global warming contribution.

While other forms of polluting fuels are taxed by the government, Diesel and Gasoline which is mainly paid by working class Filipinos at six pesos per liter, Coal
the million ton dinosaur was only taxed a mere ten centavos per kilo at a fixed rate set in 1977 benefiting the privileged few who own a coal plant or mine.
Now the Philippine Senate voted to tax it to a more defensible P300 per ton by 2020. Why we hate coal so much, there is no man made structure that is more
efficient in polluting than a colossal coal power plant.
While other countries have found out that burning coal will spell ruin to their citizens’ health, the Philippines Energy plan is to use more coal generation like an
unrepentant drug addict with 30 more coal plants planned in the near future.
With the 80% drop in solar panel prices the past 5 years, Coal is no longer the “cheapest” form of energy and they may be stranded assets before they even
operate.
Coal generation like all fossil fuel plants has pass through cost provisions that guarantee profits for coal plant owners that Juan De La Cruz would either pay
through pocket book or medical bills for affected communities.
So next year, yes power rates are going to go up. Perhaps the wise men of energy policy can just give renewables a chance by removing red tape roadblocks
as increasing energy supply decreases prices.
Nonetheless, we realize that many of us are not sheep. Solaric is about empowering people to say No to coal and give economically viable options, solar on
rooftops that produce power less than P2 a kWh.

If you want to save more energy with less money or simply a fan of clean environment, put a solar system on your roof. We give you a choice of paying for an
electric bill or owning your own mini solar power plant.

The Impending Fall of Non-Renewable Energy

Sources

With the introduction of alternative energy sources and the reduction of solar panel prices in the Philippines, our
country is on its way to being powered by renewable energy. In fact, several establishments in our country have become
green businesses in many ways, including in terms of their source of energy. As they should.
You may ask why so. While fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas) help power the world, they are extremely harmful in
many ways. Extraction alone through drilling and mining negatively impact not only the environment, but also the health
of workers and those living in the surrounding areas. Waters around the world are extremely polluted from the numerous
oil spills to the point where a large portion of marine life is severely affected.
Another big concern are the greenhouse gas emissions when fossil fuels are burned. In our country, air pollution is
extremely evident in the Philippines as smoke emitted from vehicles, public transportation, and factories make it difficult
to breathe. It also pollutes rain water and creates something known as ‘acid rain’. In China, a thick layer of smog would
sometimes cover the country’s capital due to coal combustion. Unbelievable!
These are just a few of the reasons why renewable energy such as wind, solar, geothermal should replace fossil fuels in
time. Here are other reasons why it’s bound to happen sooner or later.
They’re Running Out Fast

Because we use so much energy derived from fossil fuel, plus the fact that they are non-renewable, these sources are
finite. As of late it’s already getting harder and harder to new reserves of fossil fuels. While it’s unlikely to run out within
the next couple of years, it definitely will not last us forever.
They’re Extremely Harmful

As mentioned before, many of these non-renewable sources of energy emit harmful and toxic gases that can affect
one’s surroundings and health. For example, not only can smoke belching from the city’s public transportation prove to
trigger asthma attacks, but prolonged exposure to these gases can trigger symptoms akin to being exposed to
secondhand smoke. In certain parts of the Philippines, old jeepneys and buses are starting to be replaced by electric or
solar-powered vehicles. The reason why is that many of these modes of transportation are old and outdated and emit
harmful gases for the environment and its people.
That being said, renewable energy still has a long way to go before it becomes the primary source of energy of people
all over the world. The important thing is that sitting around and waiting for the planet to save itself won’t do any of us
any good. You can start with small things like refraining from using plastic if there are other alternatives, recycling to
minimize trash, using energy-efficient alternatives to various items, and patronizing green businesses.

Solar-Powered Cars vs. Gas-

Powered Cars
Saving the environment and minimizing the effects of global warming remains a
daunting task even today. More and more people have been turning to renewable
energy, and sources such as geothermal, wind, and solar have seen a significant rise
in usage. Even here in the Philippines – where solar panel prices remain viable –
renewable energy has established itself as the solid go-to alternative. Solar
especially, considering the Philippines is a tropical country with sunlight in spades.
However, solar panels are not solely used for home power. Nowadays, technologies
are being developed so it can replace the role of gas in your cars and vehicles. In
fact, solar-powered cars are being refined so that it may eventually compete with the
cars of today. Those that are powered by fossil fuels, in particular.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/solar-vs-gas-cars/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:35:53 AM

Gasoline-Powered Cars
Gasoline is being used to power vast quantity of internal combustion engines
throughout the world in various industries particularly the transport sector. Several
grades of octane rating produce gasoline. It is known to contain benzene and other
carcinogens.
Today, most cars are being powered by gasoline and petrol. Diesel is one of the most
commonly used gasoline to power a vehicle, as designed by car manufacturers from
across the world. Unfortunately, both these fuels are causing air pollution and directly
being blamed for contributing to global warming and climate change. One specific
negative cause of these emissions is smog, which can be seen in places that uses
high amounts of fuel like China.
The need for a more environment-friendly car has been expressed due to the
dangers being brought by the harmful effects of petrol and gasoline. Currently,
several vehicles have been manufactured using alternative fuels like ethanol and
natural gas in order to answer this need.
Solar-Powered Cars
Makers of solar cars combine the technology being used in the automotive,
alternative energy, bicycle, and aerospace industries.
Furthermore, these vehicles highly depend on a solar array which utilizes
photovoltaic cells to be able to convert the light coming from the sun into electricity.
There are different kinds of solar arrays which can be used on a car; they include
horizontal, vertical, adjustable, integrated, trailer, and remote. An optimization
between vehicle mass, aerodynamic resistance, power output, and practical
considerations need to be considered in choosing the solar array geometry.
More is being done for the development of solar arrays in the future. For example,
they are being made to be thinner and more flexible.
Other solar-powered cars are using gallium arsenide solar cells or silicon solar cells
instead of solar arrays.
Examples of Solar-Powered Cars

Most solar-powered cars today have been built and invented for the purpose of
various solar car races around the world; although, there are some of them which
have been designed for public use.
Solar Spirit 3, Solar Spirit 3, PowerCore SunCruiser, SolarWorld GT, PowerCore
SunCruiser, Kaiton II, OWL, Stella, Stella Lux, UltraCommuter, and Apollo Solar Car
Team are only a few examples of the solar cars from all over the world today.
It is true that only a small part of this technology have been made available for public
and commercial use but this is a mark of what is to come in the future. After all, solar
is a much cheaper option compared to gasoline.

6 Fun Facts about the Sun

What are fun facts about the sun?
1. It makes up for 99.86% of the mass of the solar system; 330,000 times that of earth.
2. Its mass is 75% hydrogen and 25% helium.
3. 960,000 spherical earths can fit inside a hollow sun; 1,300,000 earths can fit if it’s grinded into fine powder.
4. It has 11,900 times the surface area of the earth.
5. 130 million years after it has consumed all its hydrogen, the sun will start consuming its helium, which will cause it to grow large enough to
consume Mercury, Venus, and Earth. It will also turn red during this time.
6. The energy of the earth’s core is nuclear fusion.
7. The sun is almost a perfect circle; the difference between the polar and equatorial diameters is only 10km.
8. The sun travels around the Milky Way at 220 kps (kilometers per second). It takes arons 225-250 million years for it to make a full
revolution.
When you live in a busy country like the Philippines, the solar system and its vastness may not come to mind all the time.
Especially when you’re caught up dealing with big tasks, it’s easy to forget just how big the universe really is. However, just
feeling the heat outside or looking up to the sky could quickly remind us of that.
The sun is natural wonder that gives us so much solar energy for our life on earth (and renewable energy) to flourish. With such
benefits to the earth, it’s a shame that it’s existence is often taken for granted. Here’s a list of fun facts about the sun that you
probably didn’t know… or just forgot about.
The Mass of the Sun

The sun accounts for 99.86% of the mass of our entire solar system. Being that it’s 330,000 times the mass of Earth, this is not
hard to believe. Of this 99.86%, 75% of the sun is hydrogen and 25% of it is helium.
Almost One Million Earths Worth

While putting into numbers the mass of the sun may come as a surprise to you, you can at least admit that it’s pretty obvious
the sun is pretty huge. But how big is it exactly? Well, if the sun were hollow, then you could actually fit almost 960,000
spherical earths inside of it.
But of course, with spherical objects, there will always be spaces in between. If you could squash an earth into fine powder,
then you could actually fit 1,300,000 Earths inside of the sun! Wow! Since the sun has 11,900 times the surface area of the
earth, it’s not hard to see why fitting so many earths inside the sun is possible.

The Sun Will Consume the Earth

The sun is 75% hydrogen, so it will take several millennia for it to burn through it all. Even after all the hydrogen is gone, it will
start to burn through the helium. This will take about 130 million years to do. When the time comes the helium will cause the sun
to expand to a size so big that it will consume Mercury, Venus, and even the Earth! Luckily, we and our close descendants will
be long gone from this life when this happens. The sun will also turn red during this time.
It’s Nuclear
Well, not the sun per se. The nuclear part of it is energy of the Sun’s core which is nuclear fusion. This is produced when 4
hydrogen nuclei combine and form into 1 helium nucleus.
A Perfect Circle in Nature

The closest thing to a perfect circle in nature is the sun! The difference between its polar and equatorial diameters is just
10kilometers. Considering that the sun is huge, 10kilometers is a veeery small difference. That makes its shape a very slight
oblong; but more towards a perfect circle.
It travels at 220 KPS

Believe it or not, the sun is actually travelling at 220 kilometers per second. It may appear to be still but that’s because the earth
and everyone in it (you and me included) is travelling along with it. While the earth revolves around the sun, the sun revolves
around the Milky Way. Although 220 kilometers per second may seem really fast, it actually still takes the Sun and the entire
solar system 225-250 million years to complete one full orbit.
Key Takeaway
While not all the bases were covered in this article, these fun facts show that the sun truly is a natural marvel. It makes you
wonder how it came to be! Regardless of how this happened, we should all be thankful that man was ingenuous enough to
learn how to harness its energy. You can see it with the prevalence of solar systems in the Philippines. With such a renewable
energy system, several countries have already saved money and contributed to making the earth a more sustainable place.

The History of Solar Energy in the Philippines
Photo
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/history-solar-energy-philippines/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:37:03 AM

from Solar Philippines’ website

The renewable energy industry in the country has recorded an incredible growth in the last few years, evidenced by the
availability of affordable prices of solar panels in the Philippines. There has also been an increase in the number of solar
farms in the country.
Did you know that Philippines can receive an average of 5.1 KWh per square meter per day? Because the country lies near the
equator, solar energy resources in the Philippines are significantly large. With the given high amount of sunlight, utilizing solar
energy would not be difficult for both public and private purposes.
Many Filipinos may not realize it but the country already has several milestones with regards to the use of solar energy.
2014
In 2014, SM North Edsa (Quezon City) became the world’s largest solar-powered mall. This gigantic mall has 5,760 solar
panels and 60 inverters outfitted on its parking building, enough power to energize 1000 households. The 1.5-MW plant’s
capacity is expected to operate for the next 25 years and predictable to offset an approximated 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide
emission, which is about equivalent to planting 200,000 trees.
Manuel L. Quezon University (Quiapo, Manila) also begun using solar power by installing 320 solar panels on its rooftop. The
solar panels can produce about 96 kilowatts of electricity. The solar project can lower the school’s electricity consumption by
20% for its continuous operation. Moreover, MLQU is the Manila’s first solar-powered university.
2015
Currently, Robinsons Palawan runs its elevators, escalators, and light fixtures with the 4,710 solar panels installed on its
rooftop. The solar panels can cover about 20% of the mall’s electricity consumption. Apart from its Palawan branch, Robinsons
will also set up solar panels on three of its branches in Visayas.
2016
The Calatagan Solar Farm has been starting to generate power last March 2016. The solar farm is a 63.3 MW solar power
plant located in Calatagan, Batangas. It has 200,000 panels and has a 160 hectares (500 acres) land area. Instead of being
used for growing crops such as corn or rice, the land was converted to a large solar farm to generate enough energy to provide
power to the whole western Batangas. With continuous operation (over three decades), the solar farm is expected to offset
beyond 1 million tons of carbon dioxide emission. This is equivalent to planting over 5 million trees! Calatagan Solar Farm is
considered to be the largest solar facility in the country to date.
On March 2016, 3 more solar power plants have begun to be operational. These are the 135-MW solar power plant in Negros
Occidental, 50-MW solar project in Tarlac, and 29-MW solar project in Davao. This will add 214 MW to the country’s
electrical supply.
Solar energy and other renewable energy projects have been around for many years. Fortunately, many households and
establishments are embracing the green revolution by using various renewable resources, such as solar energy.

4 Intangible Benefits of Solar Energy

What are the intangible benefits of solar energy?
1. Solar energy reduces pollution.
2. Solar energy can mitigate climate changes.
3. Solar energy helps preserve our resources.
4. Solar energy leads to better health outcomes.
Many have looked into solar panel installation in the Philippines and many more have considered switching to solar energy. The reason
for this is the many financial benefits it offers.
Solar energy has been known to reduce a single household’s electric bill by a significant amount. There are also instances when a
property’s value increased due to it being equipped with panels. When you factor these benefits in with the current price of solar panels,
you can see why they’re worth the investment. Not only does it save you money, it also helps you profit in the long run.
However, solar energy has more benefits beyond these monetary ones. Benefits that people rarely talk about because they’re hard to
quantify and no one can put a price on them. If you wish to know about these intangible benefits, then we suggest you continue reading.

Solar Energy Prevents Pollution

The energy sector is responsible for emitting a ton of harmful gases in the atmosphere. These emissions occur when they burn fossil
fuels to generate electricity. A lot of these gases are key air pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrous oxide, and Sulphur dioxide.
Solar energy, on the other hand, can produce sufficient energy with practically zero emissions.
Another type of pollution that solar energy can prevent is water pollution. The ability to lessen and prevent water pollution is one of the
biggest environmental benefits that solar energy has to offer. Unfortunately, it is also the one people talk about the least. Solar energy,
unlike traditional biomass and geothermal power plants, does not pollute local water supplies resources nor does it strain local water
supplies.
Solar Energy Can Mitigate Climate Change

As said before, greenhouse gases and air pollutants aren’t produced when solar energy is used to generate electricity. Although small
amounts are emitted during the installation and manufacture of solar energy systems, it is ten times less than what standard coal-fueled
power plants emit.
Studies have also indicated that switching to solar energy could cut 100 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions yearly. And you can
only imagine how good this would be for our ecosystem and how big of a weapon it is in our fight against climate change.

Solar Energy Helps Preserve Our Resources

Our natural resources are slowly but surely depleting; that is the reality we are facing today. It may look like we have an abundance of
fossil fuels, which are non-renewable, but we will eventually run out. And by the time we’ve run out, we’ve damaged our environment
and financial infrastructures beyond repair.
This is where solar energy comes in. Solar energy, unlike fossil fuels, is a renewable resource, meaning we have an infinite supply. The
sun produces 173,000 terawatts of solar energy every second and that is ten thousand times the amount of the world’s total energy use.
Solar Energy Leads to Better Health Outcomes

When you combine all the previous points, it results in a better, less polluted environment, which will undoubtedly improve the health of
each and every individual. We’ll have fresher air to breathe, safer water to drink, and on overall healthier environment.
Additionally, by using solar energy, we can stop depending on fossil fuels which is the root cause of most types of pollution.
Key Takeaway
When you’re considering solar panel installation in the Philippines, it’s so easy to think about its tangible benefits and use that to weigh
things out. In fact, your first thought is probably how solar energy can ease your finances and how can you make your money back after
switching to solar energy?
While that’s all good and wise, solar energy offers far greater benefits than that. Beyond these tangible and quantifiable benefits are
intangible ones that most people fail to recognize. And most of it affects our environment and health—things that are far more important
than money.

3 Different Ways on How Industries Can Utilize Solar

Panels Priced in the Philippines
What are some applications of solar panels for industrial purposes?
1. Solar Photovoltaic technology for major power generation.
2. High quality solar lighting and pumping for industrial operations.
3. Solar powered network towers and remote terminals.
Industrial solar applications are now becoming the plan for the future. Major corporations see the huge possibilities they could do by turning
to the sun to run their daily operations. In fact, some of them are already purchasing solar panels priced in the Philippines instead of relying
on coal. Furthermore, they are also becoming more aware of their responsibilities to take care of Mother Nature.
There is an incredible amount of both electrical and mechanical optimizations from the rapid development of solar panel efficiency. Here are
some of the major industrial applications of solar energy along with some interesting examples:

Solar Thermal Power Plant

Solar Photovoltaic is the technical process that converts energy for major industrial applications. The solar power provided can go from 100
Watts to powering 100 MW Power Plant. The two types of solar energy systems are the on-grid and off-grid. Off-grid units essentially have
no link to utility grids. On the other hand, on-grid systems are more commonly used, with a bi-directional meter.
The Philippines is a nation that is pretty new to solar energy (especially when compared with other countries). However, you will be glad to
know that the number of local businesses utilizing solar panels priced in the Philippines is growing slowly but surely. For instance, you can
be sure the major malls in the metro actually have solar panels installed on their roofs.
Solar Lighting and Pumping

The solar lighting provided by Solar Photovoltaic is enough to power street lights, flood lighting, and even a simple garden lighting. Solar
Photovoltaic has the ability for both DC pumping and AC pumping. These motors are incredibly reliable and cost efficient irrigation systems
for both domestic and major operations.
This kind of technology will be definitely helpful for Filipino businesses. The possible problems they may encounter with their water
companies will surely be lessened with the help of solar pumping. Lighting also won’t be a problem—particularly for those located in remote
areas—because the sun is everywhere!

Source: PR Newswire
Solar Powered Telecommunication Lines and Surveillance

Solar Photovoltaic can provide enough voltage for BTS (base transceiver station) Towers. The power costs and requirements of Diesel
Generators are incredibly high in contrast to that of solar power, although both can be applied into a solar and wind hybrid.
Telecommunication operators have stated much contentment with the purchasing as well as installation of solar energy systems in the
overall telecom processing and planning.
Oil and gas are typically used for terminals in processing plants, but the remote computerized systems as well as monitoring units can be
converted to using a more effective and frugal solar generated power source.
Key Takeaway
The environmentally friendly impact of solar energy is clearly not the only reason to be pro-solar power. With the many advancements and
developments of solar energy, and the wide choices in solar panel prices in the Philippines, it would be a great investment to utilize solar
energy commercial, home, and industrial purposes.
Solar panel efficiency is seeing more and more of a rise in the major economic sectors. The clear and evident abilities of solar power for
heavy duty operations are a monumental testament to improving its place in the market.

7 Technological Innovations in Solar Power

https://solaric.com.ph/blog/technological-innovations-solar-power/ (1 of 6)10/4/2018 7:39:18 AM
What are the 7 technological innovations in solar power?

1. The world’s first solar panel road
2. Solar panels to fuel trains
3. Camouflaged solar panels
4. Almost invisible solar panels
5. Printable solar panels
6. Solar panels that extract water from the air
7. Carpet-like solar panels
Humans have been harnessing the power of the sun for centuries. It helped our predecessors build several civilizations, and since then, it has been sustaining our day-to-day
life and fueling our energy needs.
Along the way, we have devised another way of using sunlight—that is, through solar power.
Our country is no exception; in the Philippines, solar panels can be pricey. This technology, however, is an investment that goes a long way.
Aside from integrating this system into homes and establishments, brilliant scientists and engineers are also coming up with ways to even advance this technology. You think
the whole solar panel system is already quite sophisticated? Think again.
This article will explore 7 technological innovations in solar power.
Source: archdaily.com
The world’s first solar panel road

Last December 2016, the world’s first solar panel road was finished in Normandy Village, France.
It will undergo a 2-year testing period to see if it can actually produce the necessary amount of energy to fuel street lighting in a village consisting of more than 3,000 residents.
It’s worth noting that Normandy is not known to have excess sunlight. In fact, it only has 44 days of consistent sunshine.

It’s curious to see how these solar panels would be used in the Philippines, and how much the price and costs will be.
Solar panels to fuel trains

Imperial College London has joined efforts with climate change charities to study how solar panels can be utilized to power trains.
These solar panels will be placed on the tracks, and they could immediately provide fuel to the train. This can handle the immense power demand from trains.
Aside from addressing issues such as diesel fuel and curbing costs, this innovation can also alleviate a number of environmental concerns, such as air pollution and
greenhouse gas emission, among others.
Plus, railway companies can now veer away from electricity grids. More and more people are considering to run UK’s railways in electricity, but doing so doesn’t really deal with
the trains’ massive demand for fuel.
In fact, the areas that employed electricity grids are facing exactly this predicament—that is, they can’t reconcile energy generation and supply sufficient power to trains.
The production of track-side solar panels can hopefully handle these issues.

Camouflaged solar panels

This new innovation can be dubbed as solar tiles.
These solar tiles are impossible to tell apart from the usual tiling. Just with one glance, you’ll conclude that they’re just your typical roof tiling. After all, some of their appearance
replicates actual tiles, like textured slate and terracotta tiles.
How is this possible?
These solar tiles are covered with a special coating that renders the solar panels almost transparent, especially on certain angles.
Almost invisible solar panels

Yes, there’s actually something even more advanced than camouflaged solar tiles.
Researchers at Michigan State University are developing these next generation solar panels, which will be almost invisible to the naked eye.
These solar panels channel solar energy using organic molecules. These molecules glow when they’re under direct sunlight.
These panels make use of infrared light; plus, there are small photovoltaic strips attached at the borders of panes. You can think of them as miniature versions of the usual
solar panels.
What makes them nearly imperceptible?
The infrared light the researchers use are invisible to the naked eye, which consequently renders the panel transparent.
Source: inhabitat.com
Printable solar panels

Australian scientists have almost wrapped up this new advancement—that is, printable solar panels.
They’re relatively cheaper compared to your standard solar panels. They’re also lightweight and flexible. The possibilities of these new solar panels are, needless to say, infinite.
It could wholly alter the way electronics are charged. Furthermore, other gadget paraphernalia (such as tablet covers, laptop bags, smartphone skins), won’t merely be casings.
They could power these gadgets too.
Aside from this, these printable solar panels can also be used to package certain products; or they can be incorporated in homes, such as in your windows.
Solar panels that extract water from the air

This stunning innovation was developed last November 2017 by Cody Friesen, a professor at Arizona State University.
This system, called the Source Hydropanels, is situated on a house’s roof. There’s also a pipe that connects the solar panels to a drinking fountain inside the house.
This technology pulls out water from the air, and can produce as much as five liters a day.
Imagine its possibilities—it can supply drinking water to homes, schools, and other establishments. In the course of its lifetime, it can eradicate as much as 70,000 plastic
bottles.
It has already been installed in 8 countries, including the Philippines, although these solar panels come at a price. It will take around 5 years for you to pay back its costs.

Source: inhabitat.com
Carpet-like solar panels

John Hingley invented these portable solar panels, which can be rolled and unrolled like a carpet. These solar panels are extremely lightweight, which means you can bring
them anywhere with you.
Hingley declares that it could generate the energy needed to charge phones, cameras, and computers.
But more than being used for personal reasons, this technology is also beneficial in several other situations, such as: during disaster relief (where there’s no electricity), for
military men on the move, and for mining sites in areas without power.
Key Takeaway
We have been relying on the sun’s power for eons. Along the way, humans have discovered another method to channel its power—that is, through solar energy. In many
countries, including the Philippines, these solar panels come with a price. However, they’re an investment that will be beneficial to you in the long run; and the benefits clearly
outweigh the costs.
This technology, however, is ever-progressing. In fact, more and more solar power innovations continue to arise from brilliant researchers.

Types of Solar PV Panels
With all the available low-cost solar panels in the Philippines, going solar is definitely within reach. There
are different types that cater to different preferences of people. Knowing which of type of solar panel suits
your need will enable you to choose the right solar panel for your home and can make the most out of it.
Here are some of the types of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels to guide you on right type of solar panels that
you will install on the roof of your house.
Amorphous Silicon Solar Cell

Among all the types of solar PV panels, amorphous solar cells are the cheapest and easiest type of solar
cell to produce. Amorphous solar cells are often used for low power equipment, such as pocket calculators

and watches since it produces less efficient solar cells. However, with recent innovations in manufacturing
this type of solar cell (called stacking), amorphous solar cell can produce high efficient solar cells by
combining several layers of silicon cells. The advantages of using an amorphous solar cell are 1.)
it’s flexible since the layer of its silicon is thin, and 2.) they are effective in low light levels.
Hybrid Solar Cell

Hybrid solar cell is not a natural type of a solar cell rather than a combination of amorphous silicon solar cell
and monocrystalline solar cell. This type of solar cell is the recent development in photovoltaic, which
composed of a high electron transport material and an organic material. The combination of these two
materials makes the power conversion efficient and generates better output. Moreover, hybrid solar cell
perform its best when place in sunnier climate, which temperature can reach up to 25 degree Celsius, thus,
producing more electricity.
Monocrystalline
Monocrystalline solar PV cell is the most efficient type of solar PV cell because despite its small
appearance, it can produce the same amount of electricity that is produced by its counterpart solar cells.
This type of solar PV cell is made from thin wafers of silicon, which is cut from an artificially grown crystal,
thus, making it the most expensive among all the types of solar PV cell.
The monocrystalline rod is removed from melted silicon and it is sliced into thin plates, producing smaller
solar cells. The production of this solar cell type guarantees to produce high efficient silicon. Moreover, a
monocrystalline solar PV cell works best in bright and cool condition.
Polycrystalline
Just like the monocrystalline solar cell, a polycrystalline solar cell is made from thin wafers of silicon, which
is cut from an artificially grown crystal. However, this type of solar cell is made from several interlocking
silicon crystals, thus, making them cheaper to produce compared to its counterpart. Moreover,
polycrystalline solar panel has been the most popular choice among consumers.
Whether your reasons for going solar are economic, environmental, or personal, going solar is definitely a
good move. Spend some researching and learning which types of solar PV panels will suit your needs
before buying your solar panels.

5 Ways to Make your Business Environmentally

Friendly
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/5-ways-make-your-business-environmentally-friendly/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:40:50 AM

Being a business owner carries different responsibilities, may it be for their employees, society, and the environment. One of the
essential things that business owners should focus is to have an enterprise that is beneficial for the nature. Entrepreneurs can
integrate a wide variety of eco-friendly ideas into their companies, such as installing solar panels. In the Philippines, several
methods in making businesses more eco-friendly is becoming widely popular. Here are some of the simple ways on how to
make an environmentally-friendly business.
Encourage Communication by Email

Communication has definitely come a long way, and paper-free is the way to go. Email and messenger apps are often used to
communicate with co-workers and clients, even if they’re just right acros the room. Have your company announcement done
through your email instead of printing hard copies. Communicating online is also best to keep those who work from home in the
loop.
Consider Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is one of the greatest innovation in the past few years. This technological advancement is absolutely beneficial
to both people and the environment. Since cloud computing allows people to access their data and files through mobiles
devices, businesses do no need to purchase large server equipment, which uses more electricity. Cloud computing also
enables your people to access and share information anytime and anywhere. With this, it reduces the need to print hard copy of
their documents and reports.
Impose a Work-from-Home Policy

One of the many benefits that employees fully enjoy is the work-from-home policy. This is not only beneficial for your employees
but for the environment as well. How? When you allow your employees to work from home even just a few times a month, it will
reduce the electricity consumption of your office. It also saves employees from having to go through traffic, which decreases the
use of vehicles and reducing their contribution to the greenhouse gas emissions and their carbon footprint.
Promote Organic Food in the Canteen

Eating organic and naturally grown food is one way to have a sustainable lifestyle. As much as possible, advice your cooks to
only cook organic and natural food. You can also practice meatless Monday in your office because eating less meat can be
beneficial to the environment, as animal agriculture largely contribute to the production of the greenhouse gases worldwide.

Set Up a Recycling Program in the Office

Recycling is definitely the first one that comes to mind when you think of switching to sustainable lifestyle and be an
environmentally friendly citizen. Simply put up recycling bins in your office to encourage people to start disposing biodegradable
and non-biodegradable trash properly. You can also launch the 10-step recycling plan to fully develop and execute an effective
recycling program in your office.
Being environmentally friendly means living a life that is better for the environment. Making your business environmentally
friendly is absolutely a good contribution in making the world a better place to live in.

Ocean Pollution and How It Affects Humans

It is no great secret that the world is experiencing a huge crisis – namely climate change, which is caused by air pollution.
Ocean pollution is extremely rampant as well. For this reason, a number of pollution awareness campaigns have been
created and conducted by the government to prevent pollution. In the Philippines, solar panels, induction cookers,
rechargeable batteries, reusable water bottles, and other green products are being generated in order to resolve pollution
gradually.
Here are some facts that tackles about how bad pollution is, especially ocean pollution, and how we can prevent and stop
it completely.
What is Ocean Pollution?

With the ocean being the largest body of water on earth, it is home to innumerable cephalopods, crustaceans, shellfish,
corals, marine mammals, fishes, sharks, and turtles. Sadly, the superfluous activities of humans have ruthlessly affected
the marine life.
Ocean pollution, or also known as marine pollution, is the dispersal of destructive elements such as plastic, oil, industrial
and agricultural waste, and chemical specks into the ocean. Proof of its negative effects on marine life include carcasses
of beached animals with stomachs full of plastic, turtles whose shells were deformed by ordinary objects (such as six-pack
rings), and many more.

Sources of Ocean Pollution

There are a number of reasons why the oceans are polluted, one of which is mining for materials such as copper and
gold. Mining can greatly contaminate the ocean since it can interfere with the life cycles of the marine organisms and life.
Aside from mining, here are some of the main sources of ocean pollution:
● Illegal release of untreated raw sewage from households and factories

● Chemicals that are dumped from big and small factories
● Agricultural run-offs that goes into the rivers, streams, and groundwater sources
● Urbanization
● The increasing utilization of artificial organic substances
● Oil spills
● Acid rain that is caused by the burning of fossil fuels
● Human littering in rivers, oceans, lakes and other bodies of water
● Human waste thrown into bodies of water such as plastics, aluminum, glass, and Styrofoam.
What is alarming with the list above is that almost everything man-made is a harmful product or element that is greatly
polluting the Earth’s water. Though there are several environmental organizations dedicated to marine conservation, it is
undeniable that the Earth’s oceans are severely contaminated.

Effect of Water Pollution to Humans

For land creatures, humans spend quite a surprising amount of time in ocean waters. Swimming in contaminated water
can lead to a wide variety of infections. Accidentally drinking the water may cause a stomach-ache, or worse – it could
expose you to diseases such as typhoid, cholera, paratyphoid fever, dysentery, jaundice, amoebiasis, and malaria.
Consumption of contaminated seafood, even when cooked, is also harmful for humans and other animals.
General Effects of Water Pollution

As ocean pollution is getting more rampant today, the marine life is also getting more and more endangered. Oil spills in
the ocean can directly get on the gills of marine animals and feathers of seabirds. As a result, they find it hard to move and
fly properly. In addition, it can also be difficult for them to feed their children.
The long term effect of pollution on marine life can ultimately lead to them in acquiring diseases such as cancer,
behavioural changes, failure in their reproductive system, or worse – death.
Cleaning the Ocean Little by Little

As stewards of the Earth, we humans must do our part in cleaning the planet’s bodies of water. For this reason, we should
do these things little by little.
● Throw your garbage in designated trash cans. Even those you leave on the shore are likely to get washed up into the ocean.
● Don’t dispose harmful chemicals and substances in the ocean.
● If you see anyone that is throwing litters garbage into any body of water, give them a gentle warning.
● Even when on vacation, do not partake in activities that will ultimately pollute the water.
● Educate your children, friends, family members, and colleagues about the current state of our oceans. By doing this, you are helping
spread awareness of our oceans’ plight in your community.

Solar Energy Plants Around The

World
Saving the earth is a will literally take a worldwide effort, meaning more and more countries
are urging their people to do their part. One way ordinary people can contribute is
through solar panel installation. In the Philippines, the sun never fails to shine, so maybe
it’s time for our countrymen to also invest in clean energy. To show you just how much the
people of earth are trying to save it, here are some solar energy plants around the world.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/solar-energy-plants-around-the-world/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:42:46 AM

Solar Star Projects, California, USA

This is the biggest solar plant in the world and it’s in California. It produces an amazing 579
megawatts of power and it supplies that power to a staggering 255,000 homes and over 13
square kilometers big. The plant uses Oasis Power Plant Technology which means that the
panels follow the sun to maximize the sunlight. It’s estimated that the plant displaces 570,000
tons of carbon dioxide emissions, which is equivalent to removing roughly around 108,000
cars from the road every year.
Cestas Solar Farm, Bordeaux, France

This solar farm located in Bordeaux, France, is the biggest solar plant in Europe and is
producing 300 megawatts of power to supply about 300,000 homes. Chinese manufacturers
supplied the plant with its solar panels. It was put up by Krinner, Schneider Electric, and
Eiffage and was opened in October 2015, and is connected to the grid that provides electricity
to the whole of France, Réseau de transport d’électricité.
Charanka Solar Park, Gujurat, India

21 companies worked hard to make this 345 megawatt solar plant a reality. It’s part of another
solar plant that as a whole, they make an amazing 600 megawatts of electricity. It’s on a 20.2
square kilometer piece of land in the North of India in Gujurat. A solar park at Charanka which
is on 5000 acres of land can produce up to 500 megawatts of electricity from solar and wind
power.
Agua Caliente Solar, Arizona, USA

This solar plant sits in Arizona in the city of Yuma. It produces 290 megawatts of electricity
that powers a 100,000 homes. The plant is owned by NRG Energy and MidAmerican solar,
and is remotely operated by First Solar. The features of First Solar’s grid allow this to happen.
The technology involved in the solar panels used and the operation of the plant led to the
USA’s Department of Energy to grant them a loan of $967 million.
Golmud Solar Park, Qinghai, China

This Chinese solar plant which was built in 2009, produces 500 megawatts of power. It is still
under construction and when finished, another 60 megawatts of power will be added to its
capacity.
These huge solar plants all around the world proves that countries are serious about their
oath to reduce greenhouse gasses, postpone climate change, and are well into the movement
of saving the earth. The plants are scattered over huge patches of land, using technology
we’ve never seen before, using the most of the most abundant and infinite thing on earth:
sunlight. The amount of carbon dioxide that these plants displace might not be much yet, but
if every country invests in clean energy, imagine the clean air available to every person,
reducing not only the destruction of earth, but also the risk of diseases.

your solar panels.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/cleaning-maintenance-tips-solar-panels/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 7:43:13 AM

Cleaning Hacks for Solar Panels

Purchase solar panels cleaning kit
The process of cleaning solar panels is not the same as cleaning other home furniture. You’ll need to
use a specific cleaning kit for these things! The kit should contain liquid soap, a wiper, and different
size of brushes (some may come with longer handles.) If the need is urgent and you know what
you’re doing, then car cleaning tools may do.
Combine the liquid soap with water
Mix the liquid soap and water in a bucket. Refer to the liquid soap’s label on the amount that you
need to mix in with water.
Soak the brush into the mixture and rub it on the solar panels
Dip the brush into the mixture so it absorbs the soap. Rub this gently on the solar panels. If your
solar panels have smaller arrangements, use smaller brushes. If you have a larger one, use brushes
with longer handle.
Wipe the solar panels
Once done brushing the solar panels, use the wiper to get rid of the excess liquid. Doing this will
prevent the soap from drying on the solar panels, which can block the amount of the sunlight that it
can absorb.
Don’t use harsh cleaners
Do not use cleaning supplies other than the recommended solar panel cleaning tools. Abrasive
scrubbers and pressure washers can damage your solar panels.
Hire a professional solar panel cleaner
If in any case that you can’t clean all the areas of the solar panels or are unsure of how to go about
it, you can seek the help of a professional team. You may also contact your solar panel company to
ask if they offer cleaning services. This is the safest bet as you can be sure they can handle your
solar panels properly and safely.
Maintain and Monitor the Performance of your Solar

Panels
Install a monitoring system
A monitoring system keeps you regularly on the loop regarding the performance of your solar panels.
The monitoring system can alert you if there are any areas of the solar panel system in need of
repair.
Log the solar panel’s everyday performance
Develop the habit of regularly checking the performance of your solar panels. Every day, list down
what the solar panel system has produced.
One of the many advantages of solar panels is its durability. Typically, a solar panel system has a 20-
year warranty and can last up to 40 years. Having a regular cleaning and maintaining routine can
help extend the life and efficiency of your solar panels. Make yours last long by following the easy
cleaning and maintaining tips above.

3 Different Kinds of Solar Cells

What are the 3 kinds of solar cells?
1. Monocrystalline silicon solar cells
2. Polycrystalline silicon solar cells
3. Thin-film (TF) solar cells
Solar panels have been an effective and eco-friendly means of manufacturing energy for a while now. While
solar panel prices in the Philippines can be quite expensive, solar panels are a great investment and can be a
potential source of income.
The effectivity and efficiency of solar panels are determined by the solar cells it is made of. All types of solar
cells can absorb sunlight and generate electricity, but each one has its advantages and disadvantages, as well
as the ideal situations they should be used in.
Here are the 3 kinds of solar cells:
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/solar-cells/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:43:42 AM

Monocrystalline Silicon Solar Cells

Monocrystalline (mono-Si) solar cells have been around the longest, and are thus the most developed
technology among the three types. They are produced through a process known as the Czochralski method.
Advantages:
● Monocrystalline solar panels are made of the highest-grade silicon, resulting in them having the highest efficiency rates
(15% to 20%).
● They are space efficient. Since they output the most power, fewer panels are needed to generate energy compared to
the others.
● These solar panels provide a better aesthetic for homes because their cells are darker and evenly colored.
Disadvantages:
● Monocrystalline solar panels are the most expensive among the types of solar cells.
Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cells

Polycrystalline (poly-Si) solar cells were thought to be inferior to monocrystalline, but because they are
cheaper to produce, they have become the most commonly used type of solar cell in commercial settings over
time.

Advantages:
● Polycrystalline silicon costs less and is easier to produce—there is less waste silicon compared to monocrystalline.
● Polycrystalline solar panels have slightly lower tolerance than monocrystalline panels. Solar panels generate more
energy with more sunlight, but heat can affect the performance of a panel and affect its lifespan.
Disadvantages:
● They are not as efficient as monocrystalline solar panels (poly-Si cells have efficiency rates of 13% to 16%).
Polycrystalline solar panels have lower silicon purity compared to monocrystalline, which means that a larger area will
need to be covered to produce the same amount of power that a smaller number of monocrystalline solar panels can
generate.
Thin-Film (TF) Solar Cells

Thin-film solar cells are produced by depositing thin layers of photovoltaic material or thin-film photovoltaic
cells (TFPV) onto a substrate. They are commonly used in solar farms.
Advantages:
● Mass production of thin-film solar cells is simple.
● High temperatures affect them less than mono or polycrystalline solar cells.
Disadvantages:
● They aren’t suited for residential situations. Due to having less efficiency (7% to 13%) than both crystalline-type cells,
thin-film solar cells require a considerably large area to operate on.
● Larger costs on PV equipment such as support structures and cables.
● Thin-film solar cells tend to degrade faster than mono or polycrystalline solar cells.

Key Takeaway
Solar panels are excellent in generating energy and cutting down electricity costs, but there is a right type of
solar cell for different situations. When buying solar cells, you must make sure to consider all of your
concerns, such as budget and location, in order to avoid wasting precious time and resources.

Along with the development of renewable energy, manufacturers and researchers all over the world have been able to create materials that would coincide with being
environmentally-friendly and safe to use. This means using recyclable and reusable materials, which can take the place of the traditional materials that are being used in regular
manufacturing. The goal of using renewable energy is to make it portable and lighter, and the materials being developed for the future would help achieve that vision.
Fresh and Dynamic

Each century of human history has seen major trends and changes towards design. This can be very evident with the architecture and engineering of various structures over
the past few years, as you would be able to see the many different variations and intricacies of each design. These changes are not only cosmetic, but they are also helpful in
making them more efficient and dynamic. With the era of renewable energy arriving in the next few decades, expect another design revolution arriving, which will see more
focus on being practical, while still having some elegance.
Automation in Design
With the many advancements in technology during the past few years, design has become more automated, as computer programs and applications are able to assist
designers with creating better designs. This level of design automation has not been seen before, and is something that the next generation of architects and engineers would
be able to utilize in the upcoming years.
Key Takeaway
With advent of renewable energy sources like solar energy, the world would be able to see major changes in design that would coincide with it in the future. The design trend of
the future aims to apply the efficiency of renewable energy sources, which means we would be seeing sleeker and smoother designs in the next few years.

Solar Panel Price Philippines: Costs that You Have to Include when You
Go Solar
What are the costs you need to consider if you want to go solar?
● The cost of solar panels
● Installation fees
● The cost of roof maintenance
● The cost of connecting them to the power grids
● Electricity costs
In a world where going green is the growing trend, solar energy aims to become the next great energy source that would power the future. Along with other renewable energy
sources such as natural gas, wind power, hydroelectric power, and geothermal energy, solar energy is a green phenomenon that is spreading throughout the world.
Other than being very efficient and effective, solar energy is also now more affordable than ever before. In fact, the solar panel price in the Philippines is at its lowest today,
which means it is possible to go solar in your own home. While going solar is a very effective investment, it is best to make sure that you have all the important costs calculated
as well.
Here are some of the costs that you have to include when you go solar:

Solar Panels
Starting off are the solar panels themselves. The cost depends on how many panels you would like to install in your home or business. As usual, purchasing more solar panels
for sale in the Philippines would mean spending more, but since this would help give you a more efficient energy source, then this is one investment that would work in the long
term.
Installation Fee
One of the things that you need to do after purchasing the solar panels is having them installed on your roof. The installation fee depends on the size of the solar panel, which
means the more solar panels you get, the higher the installation cost.
Installation is a process that requires precision and good positioning, meaning you wouldn’t be wasting the money that you are paying.
Roofing
Before installing some solar panels on your roof, it is best to check if your roof can handle all the weight that would be put on it. Should there be issues with your roof, it is best
to have it fixed and ready for the solar panels. This can also double as house maintenance as well, as you have new roofing to go along with your solar panels.
Connection
After having your solar panels installed on your roof, it is now time to connect them to your main power grid. Connecting them to your power grid requires the right personnel
and equipment, which means you have to hire some skilled electricians to do the job. This makes sure that the integration of the solar panels in your home would be seamless
and smooth.
Electric Bill
While this may be something that you would be paying regularly even before having solar panels, you would be able to notice how much solar power would help you save
energy costs by a significant percentage. Solar energy helps you save more electricity by being able to generate your own through solar energy. This helps lower your electricity
costs, and help you save more money in the long run.
Key Takeaway
Solar panels are the most affordable renewable energy source around, which means you would be able to save more energy costs in the long run. Although it might look like
you are spending too much on installing and purchasing the solar panels themselves, it is an investment that would surely be worth it.

How to Judge the Price of a Solar

Panel
How do I judge if the price of a solar panel is worth it?
1. Ask your friends how much they paid for their solar systems.
2. The warranty must last for around 25 years.
3. Search for test and wind certification.
4. Consider how much space you have on your roof. The less space you have, the more
efficient the panel you buy must be. Thus, you may have to pay more.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/judge-price-solar-panel/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:45:11 AM

5. The inverter must be efficient.
There are many homes and buildings that use solar panels in the Philippines. The
price for these systems is worth it when you can harness the powerful energy of the
sun and turn it into electricity for, say, your air conditioner. Talk about turning the
tables around!
However, it’s important that you know the just price of a solar panel in the country.
That way, you won’t let the heat cloud your judgment when you’re buying a solar
system. If you’re not sure how judge the price of solar panels in the Philippines, then
keep these following guidelines in mind when you start canvassing.
Ask Around
This one is a very simple tip: you can simply ask your friends who have solar systems
installed. They have gone through the rigorous process that you will be doing through
and they would know the just price of a solar panel. Philippine residents can definitely
use this tip because the climate has already prompted many to install their own solar
system.
25-Year Warranty
With any big investment that promises it will last a long time – such as a solar panel –
you need a guarantee that this will be seen through. This comes in the form of a
warranty. For solar panels and systems, this should last for roughly around 25 years.
But you must also keep in mind that for a warranty to be honored, the manufacturer
must still be operating. Thus, you shouldn’t buy a solar panel if its manufacturer has
gone out of business or it doesn’t have a good track record.
Test Certification
Solar panels are tested in different ways. If they pass these certain tests, then these
panels also get certain certifications. Look out for these certifications so you know
exactly what tests a panel has passed. This is important because some are thorougly
tested by a third party while some are just self-assessments. An example of the
former is a TUV IEC 61215 certification, which indicates that an independent
laboratory has tested the panel and it has passed their specifics. Look for these kinds
of assurance to gauge whether the solar panel you wish to buy is reliable or not.
The Size of Your Roof

This is very important when deciding what type of panel to buy. The smaller space
there is on your roof, then the panel will also have to be smaller. At the same time, it
has to perform better than regular panels to be able to provide your home with power.
Thus, you may have to spend more for such a unit. Even with a big roof, you have to

consider the pros and cons of buying many inefficient panels versus a few efficient
ones.
Wind Certification
Another certification you need to look at is the wind certification, especially you live in
an area with many strong gusts. The panels with this proven assurance have
mounting systems that are built to withstand cyclones. This will certainly be worth the
price of the solar panel since the Philippines is prone to storms.
Inverter Efficiency
Finally, you need to check the inverter. Basically, this is the device that converts the
energy from the panel into usable electricity. Thus, this absolutely has to be efficient
so you can quickly get your investment back.
Key Takeaway
The truth is, the price of solar panels in the Philippines – or anywhere else – will be…
well, pricey. After all, you will be investing in a complicated system that will save you
tons of money in the future. What you need to look for is the solar panel that will
return your investments back to you quickly, so you need to find that ones that are
efficient and reliable. Follow the guidelines above and you surely will.

Proudly Pinoy: Solar Cars in the Philippines

What are examples of solar vehicles in the Philippines?
1. De La Salle Solar Car Project – The De La Salle University created the first solar car in the country, and is continuously
undergoing development
2. Bangkarwayan – The uncanny creation of a university Professor is a solar car that, in theory, can traverse land and water
It might not be apparent, but there has been a gradual increase in the number of active solar panels in the
Philippines. In addition to solar power becoming an increasingly popular energy providing alternative in the
country, there are also several other solar projects that have come to form.
One of the more well-known projects has to do with making vehicles that are powered by solar energy. Some of
these sustainable projects have gained recognition and praise internationally. Here are two of the most well-
known solar vehicles that are proudly pinoy.
De La Salle Solar Car Project

Since 2007, the De La Salle University has had 3 solar car projects (with a fourth one coming in 2017). These
cars were made by students and faculty from the university’s mechanical engineering department. The first
solar car of the university SINAG (a Filipino word which means “sun rays”), introduced in 2007. It was the first of
its kind in the Philippines, and represented our country at the World Solar Challenge in Australia in the same
year. They landed 12th place out of 40 competitors. The competition pits various solar cars across the world
against each other in a grueling 3,000km course which aims to push the vehicles performance to the maximum.
The second project, named Sikat (“sunrise”), was completed in 2009. It was used in promoting the country’s bid
to host the World Solar Challenge, but it did not compete. The 3rd project, named Sikat II, was completed in
2013. It competed in that year’s edition of the World Solar Challenge in Australia, where it placed 3rd in the
Adventure class. With the success of these solar car projects, the university aims to create a 4th project, which
may compete internationally again.
The Bangkarwayan
Perhaps one of the most unorthodox vehicles to be ever created, the Bangkarwayan is a solar powered vehicle
created and owned by UP Professor Benjamin Mangubat. The car was made out of indigenous materials like
rattan and bamboo, and had a dark brown color scheme to make it look more “retro”. It harnesses power from
the solar panels installed on the roof. The unusual car was made to be able to navigate on land and water, due
to the flotation devices and boat propeller attached to the vehicle. It took six years for Mangubat to complete the
vehicle, which has now become of the more popular sights in Manila.
While solar power continues to become more abundant and popular in the country, more companies would look
into the possibility of producing solar-powered vehicles like cars, tricycles, buses, and trains in the near future.
With more solar-powered vehicles roaming around in the country, it is possible to see a clean future where the
use of renewable energy would be the norm. Do you see yourself driving or riding a solar-powered vehicle in
the future?

climate• change
Climate change refers to the change in weather patterns. However, the
change is not temporary but rather for a longer period of time. It could be
an alteration in weather conditions or an alteration in their time period –
meaning a particular weather condition could last longer than it should be.
There are many possible causes of climate change; they include volcanic
eruptions, plate tectonics, solar radiation, and biotic processes. However,
the primary cause of it is being identified as global warming, which is
being caused by men.

greenhouse gases
A greenhouse gas is found in the Earth’s atmosphere. It emits and
absorbs radiant energy that is in the thermal infrared range. Its whole
process is the primary cause of greenhouse effect.
Ozone, nitrous oxide, methane, carbon dioxide, and water vapor are the
main greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Without these gases, our
planet’s average temperature will drop to -18 °C, instead of being at 15 °C.
Other planets also experience greenhouse effects – they include Titan,
Mars, and Venus.

Earth’s
environmental behavior
In general, Earth’s environmental behavior is the behavior of humans
towards nature. Most of the time, this kind of behavior is being referred to
as “unsustainable.” This is because resources worldwide are depleting at
a fast rate. These resources are coming from different part of the
environment, such as air, seas, and land. These things are slowly
degrading as they cannot keep up sustaining people’s current way of living.
Unfortunately, most humans don’t believe that what they do daily is
affecting the environment. In fact, they do not feel connected to the planet,
which should be done in order to continuously preserve the different
resources.

Earth Day
Earth Day is being celebrated on the 22nd day of April every year.
Essentially, it is the anniversary of the start of the Modern Environmental
Movement, which happened in 1970.
During that time, Americans could not care less about the environment, as
they emit more and more gas emissions. In fact, they had embraced the
smell of air pollution, comparing it to prosperity. All of this, then, led to their
awakening to environmental issues.
On April 22, 1970, people have gained consciousness as they put
environmental concerns at the forefront of their minds.

Things You Should Learn About the Environmental

Impacts of Solar Power
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/solar-power-impacts-environment/ (1 of 5)10/4/2018 7:49:50 AM
What are the environmental impacts of solar powers in the Philippines?

1. Solar power produces less carbon footprint
2. Solar power reduces greenhouse gas emissions
3. Solar power is all for sustainability and resilience
4. Solar power does not harm human health and safety
In the Philippines, solar systems are gaining popularity in the public eye. Not only because they provide a healthy alternative energy source,
but also because they offer tremendous impact to the environment and its inhabitants. Sustainability enthusiasts appreciate the fact that,
unlike fossil fuels, solar panels do not harm Mother Earth.
Learn more about the sustainable benefits of a solar system to the Philippines here:
Less Carbon Footprint

When solar panels generate electricity, they produce zero emissions, which mean that they do not contribute to climate change unlike
traditional sources of energy (e.g. fuel).
As they draw their energy from the sun, they don’t risk depleting resources from the environment. Their abundant resource will always be
available and accessible across the world.
Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Burning fossil fuels emits a lot of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. With solar power, you would
not have to worry about this because they do not emit any gas into the environment. They simply transform solar into energy that homes, as
well as business establishments, can use as electricity.
As the number of roofs using solar panels increases, the amount of greenhouse gas being released into the air decreases.
Sustainability and Resilience

Solar energy is an inexhaustible energy source. The amount of solar energy received by the Earth can exceed the energy that has been
garnered from oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear sources in the history of the world.
With this, solar energy is highly modular and it is fortunate that they can be implemented on many scales. Solar technology is also low-
maintenance and this can be attributed to its potential as an energy resource that can be globally distributed.

Human Health and Safety

Besides emitting greenhouse gases, fossil fuel consumption can bring about many health risks to people. It can pollute air and water,
affecting human health on local and regional scales.
On the other hand, solar energy is non-polluting. With the right kind of technology, it can even cut down on noise pollution that is commonly
associated with energy generation; photovoltaic solar systems are essentially silent in operation. Solar systems are also safe for humans to
operate. Plus, they do not produce dangerous amounts of radiation.
By opting to use solar, you can be assured that no harm will come to your home and family.
Key Takeaway
The lasting effects of greenhouse gas emissions are making people think that perhaps they need to start choosing renewable energy
options to power their homes and businesses. The Philippines is certainly one of the countries that want bring more awareness towards
solar energy—a source that will not be depleting soon and one that is very much environment-friendly.
Of course, many organizations from across the world are showing their support for this movement. In fact, the International Energy Agency
has published a 2014 assessment predicting that by 2050, photovoltaic and thermal energy systems could very well be the largest source of
global electricity in private and public sectors.

Reasons Solar Power Could Be the Cheapest in

Electricity Production in the Future
In the Philippines, solar energy has been making waves especially because of the benefits it brings to large-scale businesses and
residential establishments. A sustainable alternative to energy production from fossil fuels, the potential of solar energy is solidified by its
advantages particularly with its promise of a cheaper alternative to electricity production.
You might ask yourself, why is it making its rank as the cheapest energy source of the future? Well, let’s take a look at some of the
reasons why solar energy is on its way to being the cheapest energy source below.
Environmental Concern
The production of fossil fuel does more harm to the environment in comparison to solar energy. The Philippines recognizes this; Filipinos

are starting to realize that there are environmental consequences when using non-renewable energy sources. The emissions they
caused will result in worse conditions for the planet, but thankfully solar energy does not imitate this kind of energy production.
Solar panels – as well as other forms of alternative energy – do not release harmful carbon dioxide emissions beyond what is generated
during the production of the equipment used for it. The people, who would want to scale back harmful greenhouse gas production, turn
this alternative energy source and maximize the solar arrays for the good that they do for the environment.
Cheaper and More Efficient Materials

There is little doubt that solar energy would be the future of electric production. The increased demand and the developmental resource
allocation make this vision possible. As the materials used to build solar panels are getting cheaper, the cost of the energy source will
also drop to an extent. Inverter prices are also dropping, although it does so at a slightly lower rate. These lower costs, paired with the
increased efficiency of the solar panels, improve the overall value of solar.

Increased Popularity
The broader market reach does its share in increasing the popularity of the solar energy source. The solar panel popularity has surged
over the past few years. Expanding solar power use does its part in improving the awareness of the consumers in the market and this
results in more capital for the development of cheaper and more efficient panels for everyone.
Net Metering
In addition to saving money from electricity costs, installing a solar power system can also allow the consumers to make money off of
the power that their system generates.
Net metering is responsible for this and it is a feature of solar energy that ultimately benefits its user. When they understand that a solar
power system will generate more power than used by the residential or business establishment, they can sell the extra energy to the
grid. Or if this is not a feasible option, they can also credit the power bill and put it toward next month’s usage. The potential to make a
profit by selling power to the grid can also allow the consumers to alleviate the energy crisis beyond their own home or business.
Key Takeaway
More than the allocation of costs from the installation of solar power in your home, it is also a way to save the environment. Knowing this
will bring more long-term effects not just on the environment that you are used to, but for everyone as well.
If you consider using solar energy for your electricity production, you can receive these advantages and more.

3 Industries That Can Benefit from Solar Panels

What industries can benefit from solar panels?
1. Agriculture
2. Manufacturing
3. Commercial
With generous grants, tax incentives, and the falling prices of solar panels in the Philippines, industries and businesses of all types are
in the best position to reap the benefits of solar energy.
Agricultural operations, commercial businesses, and manufacturing industries alike can save on their electricity costs by installing a
solar power system. In addition, they can also reduce their tax burdens as well as get ahead of any potential energy price increase. Here
are 3 examples of how these industries can benefit from solar panels.
Agriculture
Common agricultural operations in the Philippines such as rice farms, hog farms, or poultry farms use a lot of electricity. Typically, these
operations also have a lot of open roofs and floor spaces available that get plenty of sunlight.
Take a poultry farm for example. The farmers must maintain a consistent temperature throughout the year so that the birds can live and
grow comfortably. This is achieved by running electric fans and sometimes even temperature control systems; either way, it costs
electricity to run. Installing a solar power system on the roofs of these facilities allows the poultry farmers to switch to a clean source of
energy.
Also, depending on the location of the farm, the farmers may receive generous grants and tax incentives from the government—making
the switch to solar power a very sound business decision.
Manufacturing
The entire process of manufacturing typically uses a substantial amount of electricity, especially if they operate seven days a week. This
makes it a suitable candidate for solar energy. Factories and manufacturing plants usually operate in large buildings with ample roof
space which is perfect for installing solar panels.
Manufacturers and factory owners that make the switch to solar energy stand to save thousands of pesos on electricity costs over time.
This can also be a way for you to hedge against inevitable energy price increases, ensuring that your company remains effective but
competitive. Similar to agricultural applications, manufacturing industries are also eligible to receive certain tax incentives depending on
their location.

Commercial
Commercial businesses such as department stores, office buildings, and cold storages can also potentially see a similar return on their
investment. In fact, a commercial business that is open during Sundays (e.g. shopping malls, auto dealerships, etc.) can also greatly
benefit from solar.
These businesses are perfectly suited for solar power because they typically have plenty of roof space available, which is usually
exposed to a lot of sunlight. Large, commercial businesses require a large amount of electricity for lights, air conditioning, and other
utilities in order to best serve their customers. Switching to solar can help curb some of these costs in order to reduce your expenses
and increase revenue.
Key Takeaway
Industries are quickly learning about how using a clean and renewable source of energy like solar power can help their business
become more energy independent as well as cut costs.
As the prices of solar panels here in the Philippines become more economical, companies of all shapes and sizes in almost every
industry are now making solid moves towards a more eco-friendly and brighter future.

4 Reasons You Should Consider Switching to Solar

Energy
What are the reasons you should consider switching to solar energy?
1. It’s great for the environment
2. It’s a good investment for your home
3. Power is available all day
4. You can take your home off the grid
Switching over to solar energy is not a cheap or easy decision to make. This is going to be a major change that will affect you and your
family’s quality of life. However, more and more homeowners in the Philippines are installing solar panels on the roof of their homes
because they want to take advantage of this renewable and clean way to generate energy.
Before you make this decision, though, there are a lot of things you need about solar energy. Whether your motivations for making the
change are environmental, economic, or personal, solar power has something for everyone. Here are four reasons why you should consider
switching to solar energy:

It’s Great for the Environment

One of the most commonly known facts about solar power is that it represents a clean, green source of energy. Installing solar panels in
your home is a great way for you to reduce your carbon footprint.
There is nothing about solar energy that pollutes the environment and it doesn’t release any greenhouse gases. Aside from needing a
constant source of clean water for core functions, it also absolutely uses no other resources.
Solar energy is environmentally-friendly, safe, and self-sufficient. Starting with your home and installing solar panels on your roof is an easy
path to contribute to a sustainable future and a great way to show that you care about the environment.
It’s a Good Investment for Your Home

It might be fair to say that most of the home improvements that you are going to make probably won’t add to the value of your house as. On
the other hand, solar energy can not only actually save you money from your energy bill each month, but it can also act as the initial
investment for your home. This means that if you decide to sell your property in the future, its value will definitely increase.

Power Is Available All Day

One of the few persistent myths about solar energy involves around solar panels and its perceived limitations in generating energy. The
truth is, solar energy is generated from daylight, not sunlight. This means that even on rainy or cloudy days, your solar panels are going to
be working to produce energy.
All of the energy that accumulates during the morning and afternoon hours, basically the whole time that the sun is up, actually produces
more electricity than you can use.
You Can Take Your Home Off the Grid

Installing solar panels in your home actually improves your independence from electricity. In fact, when you make the switch to solar, you
are actually protecting yourself against the unpredictable increases in the prices of utilities.
In addition, you can enjoy energy security and cheap electricity because the sun – your source of power, is never going to increase its
rates. Once you have your solar panels installed on your roof, you have technically reached an energy-independent status.
Key Takeaway
Renewable energy is the future; going solar puts you ahead of the curve. If you live in the Philippines, the installation of solar panels in your
home is a smart choice to make. The benefits you can reap from solar energy are undeniable, but going through with it requires careful
consideration and thought.
Consider switching to solar today and find out how it can change your life for the better!

Energy Efficient: Why You Should Get a

Solar Powerbank
Photo by Christian Widell
Have you ever experienced your phone dying in the middle of a long trip, and the nearest charging outlet
feels like a Solar System away from the Philippines? If you have experienced this kind of scenario, then it
is about time you get your own powerbank!
Powerbanks are portable battery packs that enable you to charge your mobile phone or tablet without the
need of plugging them in a socket. They’re extremely efficient to carry around, and they don’t add much

weight to your baggage. Sometimes it’s only when you’re desperate to charge your phone in an emergency
when you realize how important it is to really have a powerbank in your bag at all times. Don’t wait for that to
happen.
There are many different kinds of affordable powerbanks available in the market today. If you’re looking for
one that is worth your money while being environmentally friendly at the same time, then a solar powerbank
is what you’re looking for.
It’s portable
A powerbank is portable, meaning it can be easily packed in any bag. Many models are as slim and light as
your phone. Solar powerbanks offer you the same portability as well, while also being built as sturdy as
possible. Most solar powerbank models come in silicone rubber casings so it’s safe from most forms of
contact with any hard surface. You won’t be worrying it getting damaged if you have a lot of items in your
bag.
Charge Anytime, Anywhere
As mentioned earlier, one of the perks of having a powerbank is being able to charge anywhere. You can
charge your phone or tablet wherever you are, whether you’re in a car, boat, plane, or even while walking.
Depending on the model, some powerbanks can offer hours of charging, which can help your phone last a
whole day. While a normal powerbank requires you to plug it in once it’s empty, a solar powerbank can be
charged through the power of sunlight. In a tropical country like the Philippines, this can be no problem as
there is hardly any shortage of sunlight for us.
It’s environmentally-friendly

Perhaps the most important benefit of having a solar powerbank is that it is environmentally-friendly. Having
the ability to recharge the powerbank without the need of plugging it into a socket means that you are
saving a good amount of electricity. All you need is some sunlight! There are also models that can be
charged just by exposing it to fluorescent light. By not using electricity to charge your powerbank and
phone, you are already reducing your carbon footprint without effort.
A powerbank is one of the most essential items to bring during work or school. It is especially useful when
going out of town or out of the country. Having it with you at all times ensures you that your gadgets can be
charged up at a moment’s notice. A solar powerbank gives you all these, plus being able to charge them
outdoors. In case you’re interested, there are other solar-powered gadgets you might want to consider
having as well.

3 Ways Solar Panels Are Becoming More Efficient

In what ways solar panels are becoming more efficient?
1. Both sides of the solar cell are used
2. Cells are more tightly packed on the panels
3. Improved textures, materials, and antireflective coatings
You have probably heard or read about how solar panels are not at all effective at converting the energy of the sun to electricity.
This statement has always been used by those who are critical of solar technology, saying how installing solar panels here in the
Philippines does not live up to its potential.
All of these are simply untrue. There is a reason why solar is one of the fastest-growing new sources of energy. In fact, millions of
homeowners all around the world have already installed solar panels in their homes. Today, solar energy is mature and ready
enough to power the grid and our homes.
This is not to say that there is no longer room for improvement, however. While it’s true that the most efficient solar panels that are
commercially available can reliably convert about 24% of the energy of the sun, it is also true that traditional solar cells that are
silicon-based only have a maximum theoretical efficiency of 30%.
New technologies are being developed to take the efficiency of these panels up to 50% and more; some of them are only a few
years away from being commercially available. To provide more explanation, here are 3 ways solar panels are becoming more
efficient:
Both sides of the solar cell are used

Most standard solar panels use a black or white ‘backsheet’ to provide a sturdy backing layer to attach the solar cells. But recently,
panels that are being manufactured are clear on both sides—allowing them to absorb light from both sides.
This new technology is sometimes called “Bifacial,” which means that both sides of the solar cell can absorb light.
Cells are packed more tightly packed on the panels

Have you ever noticed white, empty spaces between the cells and along the edges of a solar panel? These white spaces you see
are actually wasted solar panel area.

The corners of the solar cells are cut off which leaves empty spaces. Today, solar cell manufacturers are finding new ways to
reduce the gaps or eliminate it altogether. Essentially, this would allow the cells to produce more power.
Improved textures, materials, and antireflective coatings

The next time you come across a solar panel, take note of its coloration. If the color of one of the cells in a solar panel is slightly
off, this might indicate poor quality.
One of the few indicators of a solar panel’s quality and the ability to produce power is the consistency of the color of the cells.
Solar engineers are now developing more consistent manufacturing processes to improve the efficiency of a solar panel.
Key Takeaway
While the technology for solar panels has been around for over 150 years, it is still being developed—albeit faster than before.
Solar panels are becoming more efficient, smarter, and cheaper. For homeowners, the choices for solar energy solutions have
never been more diverse.
Solar technology has continued to improve at a breakneck pace. Mass production and swift solar panel installation here in the
Philippines have made it more appealing as a financial investment, paving the way for the next great leap in technology!

How to Make the Most of Solar Panels

During the Rainy Season
How can you make the most of solar panels during the rainy season?
1. Consider the amount of sunshine for the whole year
2. Rainy weather is sometimes actually better
3. Take advantage of “edge of cloud effect”
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/solar-panels-rainy-season/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:53:42 AM

Unsurprisingly, many of us already know that solar panels generate the most power during clear days with
abundant sunshine. Typically, solar panels can produce 10 to 25% of their rated capacity on a cloudy or
rainy day (depending on the density of the clouds for that day, the exact amount may vary). The amount of
energy produced can also vary depending on the type of solar panel installation in your Philippine home as
certain kinds are better at receiving diffused light.
During rainy or cloudy days, ultraviolet rays still reach the surface of the earth in abundance. In fact, if you
have ever gotten sunburn at the beach even though the sun isn’t out, you have probably already
experienced this firsthand. And while there are some solar cells that are in development which can capture
UV rays, these are not yet available on the market.
Either way, you will still be able to generate power on a cloudy or rainy day even with a standard solar
panel. Here’s how you can make the most of them during the rainy season.
Consider the Amount of Sunshine for the Whole Year

Consider how much sunshine you are actually going to get over the entire year instead of just a particular
day if you are looking at how solar energy is going to help you save money on your power bill.
What this means is that even if you do encounter a few days without sunshine, you are still likely getting
enough sunlight over the year for installing solar panels.
Rainy Weather Is Sometimes Actually Better

Did you know that Germany, a country that gets only about as much sunlight as the state of Alaska, has
successfully installed solar panels that produce about 25 gigawatts of energy, which is about half of the
supply of the entire world?
Solar panels actually work best when it’s not too hot because of the electronics inside them. A city that
experiences extreme heat might find that their solar panels are less efficient, so as somebody who is living
in the Philippines, you should have nothing to worry about.
Take Advantage of “Edge of Cloud Effect”

If you already have solar panels installed, keep a close watch on your power output during a rainy or cloudy
day and you might just come across a strange phenomenon. During days when the sun is partly obscured
by clouds, it can actually be possible for you to exceed the rating of your solar energy system and produce
more power than you would on a sunny day.
This is known as the “edge of cloud effect.” This happens when the sun passes over the edge of a cloud
which magnifies its rays. This intense burst of sunlight causes your solar energy system to temporarily boost
its power output and help balance out the losses from full cloud covers. Take advantage of this
phenomenon and install components, such as an over-sized solar inverter, and capture these surges in
sunlight.
Key Takeaway
The bottom line is you can still make the most of your solar panels even when it is raining. But while energy

production is going to be somewhat limited, this is not going to matter in the bigger picture. What matters
most is how much sunlight you actually get all year-round.
Cloudy and rainy days will come and go, but for the most part, the odd overcast day here and there is not
going to affect the return on investment of your solar panels installations in the Philippines.

Raindrops Keep Falling: A Solar Panel Powered by

Rain
Do solar panels work during the rain?
1. Yes, but they are much less effective.
2. There is a new all-weather solar panel being developed by Chinese scientists.
3. This uses electron-enriched graphene to bond with the positive ions of rain to produce electricity.
4. The technology still isn’t perfect but it may be available soon.
In terms of the use of renewable energy locally, the big question is this: is it worth getting a solar panel in the Philippines? The
price may be worth the investment, but how effective can it be in a country with long rainy seasons? After all, how can we expect
them to create energy with sunlight when clouds are blocking the sun? Well, that could change very soon because there are new
types of solar panels in development that are designed to get energy from raindrops as well!
Chinese Design
This innovation in renewable energy technology is in development thanks to Chinese scientists. They have developed a way to
harness the energy of rain water and integrated it into a solar panels. In this new design, they used a thin layer of graphene to coat
the bottom side of the solar cell. It’s this graphene that can interact with the positively charged ions that can be found in rain drops.
So when the rain pours, it will be a simple matter of flipping over the panel to get renewable energy even during the rainy season.
How Graphene Turns Rain Water into Energy

Since rain water is full of dissolved salts, it’s also full of positive and negative ions. On the other hand, the graphene is electron-
enriched. So when raindrops hit the graphene, a pseudo-capacitor is created when the water clings on. A dual layer is then formed
with this pseudo-capacitor and the graphene electrons. With these two layers, electric currents are formed when the positive ions
in the rain – ammonium, calcium and sodium – initiate electric currents with the graphene. The energy formed between these two
layers is strong enough to generate electricity. With just a mere atom-thick layer of graphene, hundreds of millivolts of energy can
be created. Imagine what it would be like with a thicker layer?
Efficiency with the Sun

This comes with a dye-sensitive solar cell. These are thin photovoltaic (PV) cells that use organic dye to absorb sunlight and
produce electrons. So it can convert solar energy. At the same, it makes it able to absorb the electric currents created by the rain
and graphene.
This same solar cell can be 6.53% efficient in creating energy from simulated sunlight as well.
Still in Development
Although it is still much less efficient than most standard solar panels, the technology can become an all-in-one solution for
renewable energy by being able to provide it during any sort of weather. It is certainly a viable option for countries rainy countries,
such as the UK and the Philippines. The price of the solar panel will definitely be worth it when households shave off a lot of
expenses from their electricity bill during the rainy months. For now, we have net metering to rely on in times when the sun doesn’t
shine.

Question: What is the ROI for

putting solar in my house or
business?
Answer: It used to be a very long ROI cycle, but with mass production,
global competition and improvement of technologies, the ROI is as short
as 4-6 years. Hundreds of thousands of installs are done around the world
because it made economic sense in Germany, Australia and the USA.
Their electric rates are almost half and installation costs are x4 than the
Philippines but they still do it because it makes economic and social
sense. The Philippines has one the highest electricity costs in Asia
because we have to burn oil for our power and we have no doubt no
shortage of sunshine. If you look at your power bill there are all these add
on charges such as system losses( euphemism for power loses caused by
illegal connections and bad equipment), random fees plus 12% VAT at the
end of it. In short we are paying way too much with nothing to show for it
after everything. With solar you are increasing the value of your home or
business, you are slowly but effectively reducing your power consumption
and pollution caused by traditional power generation. It makes economic
sense to own your own power instead of renting it. The PV system will last
up to 25 years or even more, key components has a warranty for 5 years
and chances are power rates will only go up as they are oil based
commodities. We can plan systems to have scalability in mind and can
easily add on more capacity as your budget grows or you get convinced
on the value of free air conditioning.

Safety and Performance Tips for Solar PV

Owners
For owners of residential and commercial establishments in the Philippines, a solar panel installation in house
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/solar-pv-owners-safety-performance-tips/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 7:55:00 AM

provides clean and dependable electricity and bankable savings. Rooftop Solar in the Philippines has a
proven sub 5 year Return on Investment.
Like all Investments there are risks and mitigating risks is part of responsible ownership and reasonable
expectations of returns with good maintenance. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems offer a large scale of perks,
which range from financial savings to environmental advantages and decreased grid energy consumption.
They are certainly being enjoyed by those who have solar panels installed on their premises. These PV
systems are safe, reliable, and pose a minimum fire risk. It is an extremely rare occurrence for solar PVs to
cause a fire if proper safeguards are adhered to.
Safety is defined as no accident. Reputable installers go out of their way to be safe while doing solar
installations and ensuring good workmanship is kept in delivering high powered solar systems, annual visual
inspection is recommended to check if anything has gone loose, and connections are nice and tight. An
important factor in fire safety and site safety is its installation and maintenance. Below, you will a few tips that
can ensure that your solar system remains safe from fire risks.
Observe Proper Handling of the PV System

A solar power system has the potential to be energized when exposed to light or even strong light from
artificial sources like spot lights. When more than 3 residential panels are series together the potential to
shock and injure is already there. Therefore it is strongly recommended that professional installation is
needed when installing Solar panels or professional instruction if doing DIY is availed so that safeguards and
precautions are observed. Below are some safeguards but not representative of the entire Philippine electric
code or common sense practices when dealing with electricity.
Qualified personnel should work on your AC mains or electricity in general. 220V can penetrate the skin and
cause heart stopping electric shock. Proper insulated tools are needed when opening electrical cabinets and
checking breakers.
Promptly call your installer if you observe anything strange with your solar system, error codes coming out of
the inverter, loss of output and such should be reported so that they can check it over. Most Grid tie systems
automatically email the owner if there is something that needs to be checked or a flashing red light at the
inverter is indicative that something is wrong.
If you have a battery-based system be very careful of fumes and spray from lead acid. Best to wear safety
googles or glasses when servicing the batteries. You should also remember that it is not advisable to wear
metallic jewelry when working on your PV system. As a rule of thumb, avoid touch it without proper protection
and without wearing a safety gear.
After a major storm or a pretty wild New Year celebration in the Philippines where there is potential of foreign
object damage, it would be wise to do a visual check of your solar panels or fasteners if they have gone
loose. A broken or shattered solar panel is a safety concern that you would want to address quickly
During turnover of your solar system from an installer, ask them to walk you through de energization
procedures how to shut down your system in cases of fire or maintenance. It would be a good idea to train
multiple people on this walk through and periodically if there is a change of staff.
Use Reputable Installers

At the minimum only consider companies that have at the very least a Qualified Personnel doing the
installation. We would define that as either a Master electrician or PV trained electrician or technician who
finished a technical training course or a PRC card holder. Reputable solar companies or installers have a
license or reputation to protect. They are ethically bound to follow the Philippine Electrical Code and follow
important guidelines and wire calculations set forth. Good installers would stop work if they spot an unsafe
condition that is not even related to their work and ask that it would be remedied.
Reputable installers should use reputable equipment. Don’t be afraid to ask what brand of panels, inverters
and even the wire they are going to use. If you are not impressed with the answer or your scam radar goes
up, use Google and fact check the equipment being quoted if its reputable, being sold in other countries that
have good product enforcement. Substandard, counterfeit or plain shoddy equipment is never cheap as the
true cost could be as low as failed build way before ROI to the catastrophic, a burnt house. An electrical
engineer or electrician spent many years of their life learning the mistakes of others and instruction from their

professors and industry mentors. An informal worker with a screwdriver may not know the importance of
Ohms law, the principles of wire sizing and use indoor speaker wire in the outdoors because it has polarity
markings.
Consider the Area for the Solar Panel Installation

It is important to remember that PV systems operate well when fully exposed to the sun. generally shaded
areas should not be considered. If say it’s a South facing roof and its shaded 9AM to 4PM, you would be
better off not to put panels there or decrease the coverage area. Same goes for morning shade on an
Eastern facing array etc.
If you are in an extreme weather coastal area you might want to consider triple railing your solar setup or
specify enhanced anodization for your racking equipment. Essentially you have to design your system to
withstand the weather conditions it will be exposed to.
If your roof has a lot of leaves or a towering tree over it, consider tree trimming or more frequent cleaning of
the panels. Leaf buildup under the solar panel is a fire hazard and also promotes water seepage through the
roof in rainy season, not to mention clogged gutters. Also make sure your panels have airgaps and never
installed over Nipa or flammable materials.
Aside from this, do not install the PV system in a location where they can be exposed near flammable gases.
It is also a smart move to cover your photovoltaic solar panels with an opaque material and make sure that
the area underneath your solar panels is clean, clear, and free of foreign objects.
Employ Proper Maintenance for your System

All maintenance should follow the installer’s instructions. Please consult your solar installers turn over
manuals as they may have pinpointed specific procedures for your system and maintenance schedules.
Devising away from what is advised may result in hazards, this includes modifications to the wiring. But this
could easily be prevented by communicating with a solar panel provider and by asking questions about the
overall maintenance of the system or you have noticed something different on how it is operating.
The ideal system in inspections and maintenance should include a system-wide monitoring system, out of
specification alarm capabilities, thermographic infrared scanning, and hands-on service work for panel
cleaning, tightening loose connections, and replacement of frayed wiring from weathering or rodents.

Source: Pinterest
As the owner of the solar PV installation, the system should be properly utilized but not overused. Replace it if
it is nearing the end of its lifespan to avoid further risk of fire and electrocution. A quality installation is
expected to provide 25 years of reliable power but annual inspections are ideal to spot unforeseen hazards
and to make sure external forces from weather, vermin or whatever may be is mitigated.
Key Takeaway
Solar PV systems are not generally known as a large source of fire hazard. Coming from a reliable installation
provider, these tips should just be measures that can be undertaken in the event of an occurrence.
Nevertheless, it still pays to be careful.

Resilience with Solar: Lessons Learned from Typhoon Yolanda

What lessons have we learned from Typhoon Yolanda?
1. Basic necessities will not always be available.
2. Disaster preparedness programs must be recalibrated.
3. Investing in renewables will help prevent future disasters.
You’re probably wondering how solar power and solar systems from the Philippines fit in with disasters and resilience and we understand the confusion. We’ll get there, though, so just stay with us.
The Filipino people have always been known for their resilience. We’ve been hit by disaster after disaster – earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and typhoons – and at some point, we’ve learned to cope. We smile and laugh in the face of devastation. We exhibit kindness to our fellowmen.
We become united to help our country stand back up.
The way we brush off terrible situations and constantly look at the bright side is nothing short of admirable but also equally troubling. In our attempt to power through, we fail to analyze our situation and find out why these disasters are happening. As a result, we move on without ever
learning anything valuable.
On November 2018, it will have been 5 years since the Philippines was hit by one of the strongest and most devastating typhoons to ever make landfall – Typhoon Yolanda. As destructive and traumatizing as it was, Yolanda snapped us out of our delusion. We couldn’t just brush it off
like any other disaster. We had to know why it happened and how to prevent it from happening again. Finally, we learned.
Dozens of lessons were gotten from this devastating attack and the most important ones are listed below.
Basic Necessities Will Not Always Be Available

In the event of a natural disaster, it is always safe to assume that a total systems breakdown will occur. Communication towers, power grids, and water pipelines may be destroyed while supermarkets, gas stations, and other establishments will be closed. Supply of the most basic
human necessities such as electricity, food, water, fuel, and telecommunications will be cut off and each family or person will be left to fend for themselves.
Knowing all this and when the disaster will hit – assuming also that you listen to news and weather forecasts – you should be prepared to stock up on said items. As for the counter to the loss of power, solar and hand-cranked gadgets should be enough to get you through. Sometimes
a disaster hits without warning, so it’s best to be prepared even in good weather.
Disaster Preparedness Programs Must Be Recalibrated

In years prior to typhoon Yolanda, access to energy has always been a constant oversight. Many failed to notice that communities suffered mostly due to the lack of access to electricity. Even those who resorted to kerosene lamps eventually ran out of fuel. After the events of Yolanda,
however, disaster preparedness programs have been recalibrated to better cater to the needs of the affected.
Coordinators have proposed for portable and solar-powered electricity to be an integral part of disaster-preparedness programs. One device that caught the attention of many is the Solaric Lite, which is a self-contained solar kit that could power 3 light bulbs and charge cell phones.
In an emergency event such as a super typhoon, making sure you have phone batteries could save a life.

Investing in Renewables Will Help Prevent Future Disasters

The importance of energy and access to a better source is perhaps the most important lesson we have learned from Yolanda.
Storms and typhoons are continuously being made; it’s a natural process that cannot be prevented. But there are ways to weaken it and its effects. Global warming is the main reason these typhoons are so destructive. It is believed that a warmer Pacific is able to create stronger
storms and Yolanda is an example of that.
So instead of focusing on disaster response and preparedness, why don’t we put our efforts in disaster risk reduction. We can do this by investing in renewable energy sources such as solar power. Doing this will reduce negative impacts of fossil fuels, which is one of our main energy
sources.
Key Takeaway
It’s unfortunate that it took such a destructive and devastating typhoon for us to learn our lessons, but by now it’s way too late for regrets. Yolanda has already taken millions of lives, so hopefully, the lessons we learned from it can help us save just as much and more.
Communities should be able to realize the true worth of renewable energy. The possible effects it can have on our environment and the ways it can help those that have been struck by disaster. Solar energy, in particular, has been proved useful in such instances, which is why people
have started to invest more in it.
There are many organizations and humanitarian actors that are ready to help those interested in solar power and solar systems in the Philippines. They are always ready to inform the public about solar panels and energy. Families can easily seek them out in order to become more
equipped to face and survive disasters.

Solaric LiTe: Typhoon Season Is In, Brownouts Are

Out
The Typhoons are here! Filipinos better be prepared or they will be cursed with darkness. It’s a safe bet to say that our motto
should be the Boyscout’s Laging Handa before a disaster hits.
We are now firmly in the typhoon season and our solar panels priced in the Philippines in the form of Solar Portables just got
smaller, cheaper, and filled with essential functions to get you going.
Every year, we are coming up with new and improved designs for disaster preparedness kits and making complete systems that
can fit in a backpack or a well-prepared emergency kit.
After all, we offer Solaric solutions for all sizes and this is something that is universally looked for: the means of communication
and light after a disaster.

Our Solaric LiTe is a well thought out self-contained solar kit that does the barest essentials. Its capabilities are the following:
● Works as a power bank to keep your phones charged as our “smart phones” cannot even seem to last a day these days.
● Solar charged (of course) so it can keep on going indefinitely.
● Bawal Brownout. It has 3 lights to keep you or your family lit in times of darkness. The first one is built-in, while the other two is used for you to
personalize your space.
This comes with two separate LED bulbs to keep your room or tent lit up; take note that it has a 3W solar panel priced in the
Philippines and a main unit that has its own LED flashlight with 2 1A USB ports. It can also be charged with a micro USB charger,
which is found almost anywhere.
From our experience after Typhoon Yolanda in Tacloban, the first 12 Watt hours provides the most benefits for a survivor as
communication is dependent on how much cell phone battery you have while lighting depends on how much batteries you got.
In layman’s speak it’s enough energy to get your cell phone working and yet have some more for lights at night. We operated for 6
weeks in post-Yolanda Tacloban so we know a thing or two about electrical apocalypse living.
Sometimes, power won’t come back for days or months, if a super typhoon wrecks your home/province. Endless charging even
with a diminutive 3W panel will give the user power, long after your sari-sari store ran out of candles and batteries.

At Solaric, we design things to last, and this LiTe has built-in Lithium Ion batteries that could be recharged hundreds of times.
We give a ONE year warranty on this product. The only maintenance it requires is that you at least remember to charge it every
three months or simply use it plugged into a cellphone charger.
The cost of this item is P1500 each, P1350 for 2 or more orders, or P1200 for 6 or more orders. Our dealers and NGOs buy this by
the case as they are assured of a quality product that is field tested and backed by our no-nonsense warranty.
The Solaric LiTe makes a good addition to any home emergency kit as working cellphones and lights are essential survival tools.
Our LiTes are found as raffle tables in our Solar 101 and 202 seminars.
We did find a very similar product being sold at the mall for P3500+. This is a high quality solar product that is using real rated
batteries and solid design logic. There may be cheaper imitations but nothing like this for the price.
Nothing but the best for our customers.
If you want to buy one, please call us at 5040092 or at 09178603141 (Globe). You may email us at info@solaric.com.ph. You may
pick up at our Makati office in JP Rizal between Rockwell and EDSA beside Caltex Gas station.

Solaric: Challenging the Status Quo

“Solaric, you won our business because you are passionate on what you do and answered every concern we have” that is what
our last client said on why he chose us.
We simply said, “Solar is something we take very seriously.”
Every company has its origins and defining moments. Here is our story.
We started the concept of SOLARIC as a research project for our other business: a BPO call center back in 2013. Philippines was
and still facing runaway electricity rates and in order to remain competitive in the global market, we had to rein in costs to run a
24/7 call center. Electricity cost cutting and energy efficiency is important to run a competitive call center. We first tried to use
inverter air cons in 2005, then LED bulbs in 2012. Our call centers simply used 1/2 as much energy as our competitors. It also
helps when you used to supply backup power systems for the US space program.

In our quest to make our air conditioners run on solar without batteries in 2013, we made our electric meter stop spinning legally
and asked Meralco to implement what was then an unknown energy program protected by RA 9513, a national energy law with
Net Metering provision. It is when a homeowner or a business owner will be able to sell back excess solar electricity without
batteries or need for separate wiring. So, we pushed hard to have one of the first Solar Integrated Circuits to sell back to the grid—
our secret sauce known as SOLARIC and replicated thousands of times all over the Philippines.
Using solar panels priced in the Philippines made economic sense then and a slam dunk decision now. But what really makes us
tick is that we were really masters in analyzing electrical bills, finding ways to improve operations, and applying the optimum
amount of solar so a business can save, thrive, and dream of powering any electrical appliance with renewable energy. Close
friends and relatives wanted this SOLARIC contraption as it stops the electric meter on its tracks and we were booked solid to put
it on roofs to run air cons. We were about to do our first paying job with our first commercial batch of solar panels when Typhoon
Yolanda happened. People in civil defense and relief work asked if we can make a “solar generator” because of horror stories of
infants dying on incubators without power and of people who cannot be contacted as there is no energy for a cellphone charge.
These scenarios are something we simply could not ignore, and throwing a few bills to Red Cross didn’t cut it; we felt the urge to
act.
Life before business and country before money are something that we hold dear in what we do. Without reservation we found
ourselves driving a truckload of solar panels priced in the Philippines and dozens of donated Motolite batteries into a power dead
Tacloban, Leyte. We brought with us a list of all the places where we need to install emergency solar—places such as a relief
center, a public school, a clinic, and a pediatrician. We refused to charge a profit and installed solar charging stations well below
cost because we refuse to profit from misfortune.
For six weeks, we were literally powered by smiles, SPAM, repacked relief goods, and cries of relief when we removed the curse
of darkness for the Yolanda survivors.
What we saw in those six weeks is something that we wish no one will ever see or smell, but we also saw the beautiful and
indomitable spirit of the Filipino to smile, laugh, and survive despite what happens. It changed our psyche and views on climate
change.
Today, we are still as hard charging as ever; Turn On the Sun is what we do.

Simply put, we are known as the solar company that challenged the status quo, counted to deliver power in mission impossible,
and now give the Filipinos a choice to use electricity-sourced from a monopoly owned coal plant or from a Juan De La Cruz-owned
solar panel on top of his house.

https://solaric.com.ph/blog/global-warming-effects-2017/ (1 of 5)10/4/2018 7:57:22 AM


Solar panels in the Philippines are extremely useful as they are able to utilize the harsh rays of the sun by converting it into
renewable energy. It’s not exactly a good thing though that that both the temperatures and the sea levels have rapidly been
rising, all because of global warming.
If you’ve never given a thought about why each year just gets hotter and hotter, then it’s time to open your eyes to what climate
change has been doing to the world.
Uncharted Territory
According to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), the record breaking heat of 2016 has been continuing in 2017. In
2016, the heat was caused by carbon dioxide emissions from human activity. This along with a strong El Niño is what caused
the all time high heat.
However, even with the death of El Niño, the extreme temperatures have continued in 2017. Because of this, the director of
WMO, David Carlson, described this year to be “uncharted territory” as it looks like the world record for global temperature will
be broken again in 2017.
The Climate in 2016

For context on how dire the situation is for the world today, here is a summary of the climate in 2016.
Record high temperatures were set in these countries:
● In January a temperature of 42.7C (108.9F) was recorded in Pretoria, South Africa.
● In April a temperature of 44.6C (112.3F) was recorded in Mae Hong Son,Thailand.
● In May, a temperature of 51.0C (123.8F) was recorded in Phalodi, India.
● In July, a temperature of 54.0C (129.2F) was recorded in Mitribah, Kuwait.
The oceans also suffered from the heat with up to 50% mortality rate in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and 75% of the
biggest reef in Japan experiencing coral bleaching. To clarify, coral bleaching occurs when the corals get stressed out due to
extreme heat, and become in danger of dying.
Scientific research has shown that the last time the world was this warm was 115,000 years ago. The most dangerous
greenhouse gasses, methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide, are all rising at an alarming rate and will cause even more
severe global warming in the near future. The results include melting glaciers and ice sheets, causing a rise in sea levels and
the possibility of coastal cities becoming submerged.
The Climate in 2017

According to Doha-based media company Al Jazeera, the NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Information has reported
three facts about the temperature in March 2017:
● It’s the 4th warmest month in a database that started in 1880
● It’s the 2nd warmest March, with March 2016 being the first
● The temperature during this month was 1.12C above the overall average temperature of the database.
In the same database, the warmest months were January 2016, February 2016, March 2016, March 2017, and February 2017.
From these figures, experts say that 2017 will challenge 2016 for the warmest year in recorded history.
Donald Trump
While multiple experts such as research scientist Jeffrey Kargel and climate change scientist David Reay have called for
immediate action to combat climate change, POTUS Donald Trump and his administration have chosen to cut climate change
research programs. In fact, he has recently chosen to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, wherein countries are
dedicate efforts to mitigate global warming.
Trump’s reasoning is that the terms in the agreement provide unfair environmental standards for American business. Because
of this, he demands for renegotiation before rejoining. However, said the leaders of France, Germany, and Italy have stated that
the terms in the accord are “irreversible”.
This greatly weakens that battle against global warming because America is the world’s second largest polluter; without their
participation in the Paris Climate Agreement, the world’s climate and global warming are less likely to see major improvements.
Clearly the world is in a dire state with human emissions of carbon dioxide causing the rise of global warming at a dangerous
rate. It will fall on China, the world’s leading polluter, to comply with the Paris Climate Agreement and each and every one of us
to make efforts in reducing our carbon footprint for us to have a fighting chance at saving the world.

How We’re Causing Thermal Pollution

Since renewable energy began becoming more affordable, the number of people making the switch from
fossil fuel have considerably increased compared to the years before. In countries all over the world
including the Philippines, solar panels are becoming much more cost-effective. More importantly, adapting
solar panels and using solar-powered gadgets are a couple of ways to help save the earth while maintaining
a lifestyle with technology that we’ve all grown accustomed to.
There are many adverse effects of our use of non-renewable energy, but perhaps the one with the biggest
impact is pollution; every kind there is, is generally because of humans. We’ve discussed ocean pollution,
but there is one kind is mostly unknown due to its inconspicuous nature: thermal pollution.
What is Thermal Pollution

Thermal Pollution refers to the sudden temperature increase or gradual drying out of bodies of water (rivers,
lakes, ponds, and oceans) due to human activity. Its primary cause is the use of these waters for industrial
purposes, then returning the altered water to the natural resources with an altered temperature. Increased
temperature in waterbodies causes the oxygen levels of the water to be altered in an immediate timeframe,
which has disastrous effects on the ecosystems in and around it.
Causes and Effects

To explain thermal pollution further, let’s talk about its different causes and respective effects.
Being Used as a Cooling Agent

As mentioned above, water from natural bodies of water such as seas and lakes are used to cool down the
machinery in factories. This alters the temperature of the water that is then returned to the source. This
might not seem like a massive difference, but this will actually cause the temperature of the whole body of
water to rise in a drastic manner. This leads to the alteration of oxygen levels in the body of water, which
can degrade the longevity of the marine life, and can negatively affect the vegetation that is located around
the body of water. By affecting the life quality of these marine species, it can ultimately obliterate the habitat
if it is not properly controlled.
Soil Erosion
Another primary cause of thermal pollution is constant soil erosion. By having the weight of the soil come
down on the body of water, it causes it the water levels to rise and be more exposed to the sun’s rays. It will
eventually lead to a rise in the temperature in the body of water, which will have the same effects when the
water is used as a cooling agent.
Deforestation
In addition to increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in our world, deforestation can also lead to
thermal pollution. Cutting down the trees that surround a body of water takes away the shade that reduces
the water’s exposure to the sun’s rays. The disappearance of the trees will lead to a jump in the temperature
of the water, and will have the same effect as stated above.
Thermal pollution is real, and the world needs us to stop it – or at the very least, control it. Increasing
awareness and getting more local people involved in petitioning against its causes are key to prevention.

Consider joining a reputable environmental organization to learn more about how you can help save the
earth.

Having a solar panel installation in the Philippines is one of the best decisions you can do for your home. Have you ever wondered
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/grid-tie-solar/ (1 of 5)10/4/2018 7:58:28 AM
how the technology behind the solar energy system works? Then, you have come to the right article.
How solar power works is fairly easy to understand and the grid tie solar component is one of the components that you should
utilize. A grid tie solar electric system is also referred to as grid-tied and utility intertied photovoltaic system. This is different from
an off-grid or standalone solar system, where your structure is not hooked up to a utility power.
If you are a homeowner or a business establishment owner in the Philippines, solar panel installations should be on top of your list
of investments. Many case studies that utilize the solar system has spoken about the benefits that they have harvested from
having them installed in their properties. Turning sunlight into electricity is a sustainable solution for your home and the
environment.
Get to know how grid tie solar works and learn how it can help you in the future; just continue reading below.

How do Grid Tie Solar Inverters Work?

Learning how solar grid tie inverters work is a great opportunity to see how solar panel installations help you on a daily basis.
Sizing up your grid-tie solar system will be a great way to know if it is working properly and it will help you in maintaining its
performance all throughout the duration of its installation.
Here is how solar grid tie inverters work:
1. The solar panels collect the sunlight that shines on them and produces a direct current (DC).
2. The DC is then converted into alternating current (AC) so your home can use the electricity that is harnessed. This conversion happens
through the power inverter that you installed.
3. If there is any excess use of power that is produced in your home, the excess is sent back out into the utility grid.
4. This will send your meter backward and will significantly lower your electric bill.
5. Now you can use clean and efficient solar power.
All of these processes happen quietly and automatically, these are just many of the wonders of having a solar tie inverter system.
This process of sending back renewable energy is called net metering and it is an efficient way to save electricity.
What are the Benefits of Having a Solar Grid Tie Solar?

A Solar Grid Tie Inverter is an electric system that helps turn sunlight into electricity by using solar panels and a power inverter,
along with other small components. This happens while your home or a solar-powered building remains dependent on the local
grid or utility. What makes it different from off-grid systems is that your power is not hooked up or dependent on any other utility
power.
Many people rely on this installation because it allows them to save money on energy costs. Having solar panels really makes it
possible to save money but using a solar grid tie inverter doubles that potential. It is also notable that solar grid tie solar systems
are able to keep the energy as renewable as possible. Which means that any excess power produced is pushed back into the grid
which will result in your meter turning backward.
This translates into significant results that can lower your electric bills. Not to mention that having solar grid tie inverters installed in
your property increases its value significantly. It raises the value of your home or commercial establishment which will attract
potential buyers if ever you put it up for sale.
It is also a great source of solar energy which is a green and clean source of power all around. Having this installation allows you
to help and protect the environment as efficiently as possible.

Knowing the Proper Equipment to Setup a Solar Grid Inverter System

Having an efficient and economical solar grid inverter system would bring many benefits to you but first you need to have the
proper equipment installed and ready for your use.
These items include:
● Rooftop Solar Panels
● Solar Panel Mounts
● Solar Panel Trackers
● Power Inverters
● Grid Disconnect
● Combiner Box
● DC Disconnect
Make sure that you have these tools so you can have a reliable solar system in your home.
Key Takeaway
Having a solar grid tie inverter in your home will pose many benefits. Plus, it will enable you to save more money through net
metering. Knowing how the solar grid tie solar system works is a great opportunity to utilize it properly.
With these installations, you can become energy self-sufficient and it is worth more than saving the money for electric costs
especially when you know that you are doing a part in saving the environment.
Consider having a solar panel system installation in your home today to know firsthand the many benefits it will provide for you and
your family.

Why You Should Only Get Solar from a Legit Seller

Why should you buy solar panels from legit sellers only?
1. Solar panels can be costly to maintain
2. Environmental factors are always unpredictable
3. Your home’s electricity depends on it
It is common knowledge that solar panel prices in the Philippines are quite high. They can be costly on average, but better solar panel
efficiency usually translates to a higher price. While they are expensive, they are also an effective means of saving money on electricity
expenses and are thus utilized in many houses in the Philippines.
With all the benefits solar panels offer, it can certainly be difficult to say no when you stumble upon a good deal. However, you should
keep in mind that “good” isn’t just about the price. You must also consider other factors such as the quality of the solar panels you’re
about to buy as well as the reliability and the reputation of the seller.
Nowadays, scammers are lurking practically everywhere. There isn’t a single market that is free of them, so regardless of what you’re
going to buy, you should always maintain a high level of awareness when interacting with the seller.
In this article, you will be reading about why you should only buy solar panels from legit sellers.

Solar Panels can be Costly to Maintain

If you thought that solar panels are a one-time purchase, think again. Like everything else, they wear and tear as time goes along; their
maintenance is a must if you want to keep them in top condition.
Solar panels are already expensive enough on their own, and for good reason: they serve their purpose very well and are sufficiently
durable. Now, imagine having to have your solar panels checked on and repaired more than once a month simply because it just won’t
stop malfunctioning. Frustrating, right?
This is a likely scenario if you bought your solar panels from a non-legit seller. You may have saved some cash when you bought them,
but in the long run, you will be spending more than you originally would have had you opted to buy from a trusted seller instead.
Environmental Factors are Always Unpredictable

One major concern about solar panels is that they are always exposed to the environment, no matter how serene or chaotic it is. Sunny
day or raging typhoon, it’s up there on your roof and you can only hope that it holds well.
Solar panels from untrusted sellers aren’t as tough as the ones from real ones. While an original solar panel can withstand violent winds
and debris, a fake one may break from just a fallen branch. The thing is, you never really know what could hit it, so just to be on the safe
side, don’t buy these solar panels—they can and they will break.

Your Home’s Electricity Depends on It

With fake solar panels, weak energy generation is the least of your worries. One of these days, your solar panels could malfunction so
bad or stop working altogether—leaving your home completely devoid of electricity.
No fans to circulate the air, no refrigerator to keep your food fresh, and no lights at night to help you move around the house. All these
are possibilities if you buy your solar panels from scammers. The money you will be saving by buying fake solar panels isn’t worth it,
considering the risk and the inconvenience you’ll be bringing to your home’s electric system.
Key Takeaway
The price of solar panels may initially be intimidating, but they are that way because of the way they work and what they are made of.
While low prices may be attractive, they aren’t advisable, as there is a pretty good likelihood that the seller isn’t legit. The products they
offer may be cheaper, but they’re usually of less quality and should therefore be avoided.

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
Since we were kids, we’ve been taught the 3

Rs – reduce, reuse, recycle. Sticking to the 3
Rs will help reduce waste production.
Conserve Energy
The most important part of

sustainable living is reducing your
carbon footprint and you can achieve
this by conserving energy. Don’t leave
your appliances on standby and
switch off everything that’s not in
use. Ditch Plastic
Plastic is in every single aspect of our

lives and it’s not very good for our
environment. In order to lessen
plastic wastes, you can bring your
own grocery bags and avoid buying
bottled waters.
Switch to LED Bulbs
LED bulbs are far more efficient and

long-lasting than conventional bulbs,
which means less power consumption
and need for replacement.
Walk or Bike to
Your Destinations
Vehicles, with the exemption of electric

ones, aren’t eco-friendly and add to your
carbon footprint, so try to travel by foot
or bike.
Grow Your Own Produce
A lot of benefits come with growing your

vegetables. Sure, it’s hard but it’s worth it.
Windowsill boxes offer a lot of space for
herbs and vegetable patches and they will
brighten up your view and filter the air
coming in your home.
Plant Trees
Year after year, forests are being felled to

make room for other structures like malls
and condominiums. As a result, our
ecosystem is destabilized and the planet is
put at risk. To restore the balance, we
must replace the trees that were cut down
by planting new ones.
Buy Local Products
It requires a lot of carbon to import

products from foreign lands, so it is
advisable to support locally-produced
items.
Eliminate or Reduce
Meat Consumption
Production of meat is one of the driving

forces behind climate change and the
only way to stop this is by reducing
demand. Admittedly, this is one of the
most difficult parts of sustainable living,
but you don’t have to completely cut
meat out of your life. Simply reducing
your consumption to two or three times a
week will be enough.
Go with Renewable Energy
Before anything else, you have to know that

this is something you can do, but not
something you have to do. It would be great
for the environment if you can choose
renewable energy over fossil fuels, but if you
don’t have the finances to, then you can just
stick with other ways.
Key Takeaway
Sustainable living isn’t as hard as every-
one thinks. Yes, it requires sacrifice and it
does take a little bit of getting used to,
but it’s also something that grows easier
with time. The most difficult part of any
task is the beginning, so hopefully these
sustainable living ideas could make it
easier for you to get started!

Weighing Out Solar Storage Batteries: Lithium vs.

Lead Battery
What factors should you consider when choosing between lithium and lead
battery to use for your solar storage?
1. Depth of Discharge
2. Installation
3. Safety
4. Cost
If you stumbled upon this article, then chances are you’re thinking of having a solar system in the Philippines installed to
your home. Or you could just be someone who’s interested in solar power and wants to know everything about the
technology.
Either way, we’re sure you’ve heard of the lithium vs lead battery debate. This is an ongoing discussion in the solar
power industry and no one has yet to determine the clear winner. Typically, solar batteries are made using lead-acid
technology. But recently, big companies have opted to use Lithium-Ion.
You’d think that with companies switching sides, lithium would immediately be the winner, but that’s not quite the case.
Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
In this article, we won’t be telling you which of the two is better – you will be the one to decide that. What we’re going to
give you is a fair comparison of the two battery types, so you can do the judging yourself.
Depth of Discharge
The depth of discharge (DOD) refers to how deep you can drain the battery during every cycle. The deeper the DOD,
the fewer discharge cycles and the shorter the service life. Lithium batteries can be discharged up to 95% and lead
batteries are limited to 50%.
What this means is that you can typically use lead batteries for a few hundred cycles and lithium batteries can be used
for 6,000 to 10,000+ cycles. To put it simply, lead batteries will have to be replaced up to 10 times more often as
compared to lithium batteries. This also signifies that lithium batteries have much longer lifespans than lead batteries.
Installation
Lead batteries are difficult to transport and install because of their sheer weight. There is no way to change this as the
materials used to make lead solar batteries are heavy. Because of this, people are turning to a lighter alternative which
is lithium solar batteries.
Lithium batteries are significantly lighter and can lower shipping costs by 80%. They also help cut installation costs by
large amounts. The low shipping and installation costs make lithium batteries much more appealing than lead batteries.

Safety
In terms of safety, both types are harmful to the human body and the environment, but lithium has a slight advantage.
Although lithium, in its purest form, is more harmful, technologies and safety mechanisms are employed to increase its
safety. At the moment, it is considered to be one of the safest batteries in the market.
Lead batteries, on the other hand, continuously produce electrolytes and they also produce hydrogen when
overcharged. On top of this, lead acid is a very dangerous substance. Despite being equipped with safety mechanisms
to reduce risks, lead batteries still lose to the lithium batteries in terms of safety.
Cost
We now tackle the final aspect to consider which is cost. Judging from how lithium batteries came out on top, it’s safe to
say that they’re the most expensive option. All its advantages and benefits don’t come for free, after all. Lithium
batteries cost 3 to 4 times more than any average lead battery. Moreover, lead battery prices are expected to
continuously decrease in the coming years.
Key Takeaway
If we’re keeping score, then lithium batteries would be the clear winner as it beat lead batteries 3 times out of 4.
However, it isn’t as easy as tallying up scores. Choosing the best solar storage battery still depends on several things
like intended use and purpose.
There are other things you need to take into account before you have your Philippine solar systems installed. If you still
can’t decide between the two, then don’t hesitate to discuss it with your provider. We’re sure they’ll be able to give you
proper advice!

Introduction to Solar 101 and 202 Installer Classes

How to create value is the best way to start a business.
The installation of solar power, together with the price of solar panels in the Philippines, has come down so low these days that any business or astute homeowner should start counting the wealth of energy that falls on their
roof and use that to pay down the electric bill.
Using solar energy to fuel your own personal power plant is is the ingenuity and adaptation that drives the Filipino Economy for self reliance and lower energy costs.
It is in our nature to create value in everything we do. Installing solar and paying less than P2 pesos a kWh is just smart since there is no escaping an electric bill until now and burning more coal these days is just dumb.
At Solaric, we are realists and renewable energy professionals. We have a different approach in bringing mass adaptation of Solar throughout the Philippines and that is through our Solar installer and pro user education
programs called Solar 101 and Solar 202.
Our graduates have powered entire factories and many homes with our Philippine solar power systems and designs from straight from class notes and our renowned engineering support to confidently energize your project.
In the past three years we have condensed a weeklong US solar installer training program and experience of doing hundreds of installations into a weekend seminar covering theory, practical design, system sizing, safety and
live installation of real gear.
Pertinent topics that cover the Philippines such as black out run capable systems, ROI calculations, and Net Metering so you don’t have to buy batteries are discussed in an open forum manner.
These are topics that any serious businessman or astute housewife should know before spending thousands on a solar system that can power a refrigerator to an escalator.
Our Solar 101 and 202 seminars is a semi technical course that allows any college level person or engineer to understand the practical aspects of Philippine solar systems and how it can economically bring down electricity
bills, replace diesel generation and most importantly teach the average consumer or policy maker on what type of solar system to install in a no nonsense non biased manner.
Grid tie, off grid and the latest Lithium Hybrid systems are discussed at length and a graduate of this course can figure out what solar solution would best fit their needs and how not to waste money on common mistakes. Our
solar 202 graduates start businesses with our preferential industry pricing which is too low to print to purchase solar panels and other gear without the burden of stocking inventory.
Thousands of people from all walks of life- Housewives, business owners, Energy managers, and even other solar companies have made this a popular course over the past 3 years. Every chapter and page of content of this
class is based on practical or actual experiences in solar projects in the Philippines.
Yes, it is uncommon for a company to divulge trade secrets in its operations but we are a rather unconventional and our energy source is truly universal.
Our view is that quality fundamentals and techniques are needed to make renewable energy grow in sunny Philippines and that is how we put a little Solaric install in every island.
For more information or to register go to www.solaric.com.ph/solar101
solar 101 by SolaricNext class is August 12 and 13 at Mess Hall Karravin Plaza Pasong Tamo Ext Makati, with hands on conducted in our newly built solaric training showroom with millions of pesos worth of teaching aids and

setups of every deployable solar technology.

Cost is P5000 for Solar 101 and P5000 for Solar 202 as these are whole day technical seminars with Food, consumables and text book included. For more information please call 5040092 or email us at info@solaric.com.ph
Class sizes are limited and pre registration and payment is strongly recommended as we had to turn down walk ins in the past.

The Different Appliances that

Contribute to Your Baseload
What are the different appliances that contribute to
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/baseload-appliances/ (1 of 5)10/4/2018 8:01:44 AM
your household’s baseload power?

1. Refrigerator
2. Lights
3. Air conditioning units
4. Pool pumps
There’s a myth that renewable energy, like the one you gain from installing panels
from solar systems in the Philippines, isn’t capable of providing baseload power.
But before we can discuss said myth, we first have to understand what baseload
power is and the different appliances that contribute to your home’s baseload.
In order to properly explain baseload power, we have to look at it in terms of
electricity demand. Electricity demand can be classified into two categories –
average and peak. Peak demand or peak load is achieved during times of high
electricity demand. Often, this happens during hot days when you need to turn your
A/Cs on for longer periods. It only happens in short burst and in even shorter
periods.
Average demand, on the other hand, is the lowest level of electricity demand
needed over a 24-hour period. In simpler terms, it is the amount of electricity
needed to meet the demands of occupying your house—this is your baseload
power. With that out of the way, we can now tackle the different appliances that
contribute to your baseload power.

Refrigerators
Refrigerators are the single biggest contributor to your baseload power. In order to
keep your food cold and fresh, your fridge has to be running 24/7. Even though
refrigerators have been made more energy efficient, they still use a lot of energy.
For the people who have multiple fridges or freezers, it is recommended that you
unplug unused ones in order to lower your baseload. You should also store food in
as few appliances as possible.
Lights
Another contributor to your baseload is your home’s lighting. Though it doesn’t take
up as much as your fridge and freezers, it doesn’t hurt to lower the cost to
illuminate your home.
You can do this by replacing incandescent bulbs with LEDs. They’re more available
now than before and are quite affordable. You can also make use of sensors,
timers, and occupancy based devices and adopt task lighting rather than whole-
room lighting.
Air Conditioning Units

Air conditioners are usually considered peak load contributors, but not when you
have a home office or when its summer and the kids are at home.
Admit it, you wouldn’t want your kids to suffer through the intense summer days,
which for us Filipinos mean 40° degrees of heat, so you’d be more than happy to
turn your A/Cs on. If this is the case and the unit is running from morning ‘till night,
then it automatically becomes a baseload contributor.
The same thing can be said when you cool down your home office during the
entirety of the day. Even if you turn it off after 8 hours of work, it is still part of your
baseload and will cause your monthly bill to skyrocket.

Pool Pumps
Studies have actually found that homes with pools consume almost 50% more
electricity per year. Although this is partly because these homes are usually bigger
than average and have more occupants, it cannot be denied that a huge
percentage of their electricity bill is because of the pool. On average, pool operation
and management account for at least 17% of your bill.
Now, if you want this lowered, then you can set your pool pumps to function during
the morning when your solar panels are in use. That way, they won’t be using up
much energy and you can save a few extra pesos on your electricity.
Key Takeaway
The appliances listed above are the main contributors to your house’s baseload
power. And though these tips may seem too simple, they are guaranteed to be
effective.
As for the myth mentioned, you can just ignore it as it is not true. If you’re planning
to install solar panels from solar systems in the Philippines, then go for it.
Renewable energy can and will provide enough energy for your baseload and more!

Summer Time Care for Your Solar Panels Priced in the Philippines
What are the different ways you could care for your solar panels priced in the Philippines?
1. Allot space between the roof and the panels during installation
2. Regularly remove dirt build-up
3. Put up curtains to lessen the heat coming into your home
Summertime is the perfect season to harvest solar energy from the sun that can be converted to electrical energy.
During summer, there is bound to be an abundance of sunlight that can be harvested due to longer days which equates to extra hours rendered for harvesting sunlight.
Due to the global positioning of the Philippines, which is near the Earth’s equator, Filipinos definitely have an advantage with regards to the possible amount of sunlight harvested.
But, despite the reasonable price of solar panels in the Philippines, this fragile equipment should still be given extra TLC.
The solar panels should never be stepped on, because pressure – even slight pressure from stepping, leaning, or sitting on it, can cause micro cracks and future issues. Treat the solar panel as a fragile piece of
equipment, even if the glass is pretty tough and tempered.
The summer season may be the ideal period for optimum harvesting, but it also comes with a possible threat to the solar panels which is why there are several methods of caring for the solar panels that are highly
necessary for the summer period.
Fortunately, this article tackles the various ways you could care for your solar panels this summer time.
So, if you want to know how to defend your panels from the detrimental effects of high heat and humidity, then just keep on reading.
Allot Space Between the Panels and the Roof

Like the saying goes, “prevention is better than cure”; meaning, you should make sure during the installation phase that your solar panels are not directly sticking on to the roof.
The space between the two will provide the needed ventilation for optimum conversion.
Keep in mind that excessive heat will lessen the abilityof a solar panel in converting solar radiation into electrical energy.
This specific installation arrangement does not only ensure that the capacity of solar panels to convert energy is maximized, but also prevents over-heating of the solar panels.
The air ventilation among the panels is made possible by the gap between the panels and the roof, which is highly essential, especially during the scorching summer in the Philippines.
Clean the Panels

Heavy filth build-up—which commonly consists of dust, dirt, and sometimes bird droppings—often occurs during the summer period. Doing so ensures that the solar panels are functioning at their maximum potential.
Such condition is not much of a concern during the rainy season in the Philippines because the heavy rainfall already washes away the dirt, especially for panels attached to a roof with a steep tilt.
Luckily, cleaning solar panels is fairly easy.
Even just by aiming the hose at the panels and lightly spraying clean water should already be sufficient for a quick clean up. There’s no need for you to climb up to the roof.
In some case wherein the mere spraying of clean water is not enough to remove the debris from the panel, a thorough cleaning may be needed.
Unlike the simpler method, this one requires someone to go up to the roof. But, don’t worry because it’s not a complicated task.
Even the tools needed are common household items (mild detergent cleaners and a soft cloth). Once you’re ready to do the cleaning, just make sure that you use a light hand, since the panels are basically made of glass—
thus can be easily scratched or shattered.
Block out the External Heat

In the Philippines, not only is it terribly hot during the summer, even the wind carries significantly warm air.
With such weather condition, turning on the AC units is no longer a want, but rather a necessity or else individuals may suffer from heat stroke. But, due to the scorching external heat, it may take a considerable amount of
time before the appliances reach the desired temperature.
To prevent the external heat from penetrating inside the room, place simple yet effective obstructions, such as thick curtains.
Doing so would lessen the need for extra cooling, thus, lowering the power consumption. Remember that excessive consumption of energy paired with the intense heat could be damaging to the solar panels.
This tip is also advised during the times that no one is home, since such setting allows the space to cool down better.
Key Takeaway
There are various ways to protect your solar panels priced in the Philippines this summer. Taking care of them can be as simple as putting up several thick curtains and regularly cleaning. Also, be sure that there is
adequate spacing between the panels and the roof, which should be done during the installation process.

Solar Panel Price Philippines: How to

https://solaric.com.ph/blog/solar-still/ (1 of 5)10/4/2018 8:02:46 AM
Make a Solar Still

How do you make a solar still?
1. Pick the right location that has a lot of space
2. Dig a hole around two feet wide and a foot and a half deeps
3. Place a liquid container in the middle
4. Cover the pit with a plastic sheet
5. Wait for the water
Solar energy has become one of the most abundant energy sources across the world, and it
has helped usher in the era of renewable energy. Solar energy has become more accessible
and affordable, with solar panel prices in the Philippines lower than it ever has been in the
past few years.
While solar energy is commonly known as a power source that helps generate electricity, you
can actually harness solar power as a way to survive as well. This comes in the form of a
solar still, and is something that work very well in some of the hottest and driest climates, like
deserts. They are very effective, as they are able to generate water in conditions where it is
rare. If you are interested in building one, here are some steps on how to make your own
solar still:
Pick the Right Location

The first thing that you need to look for before making your own solar still is to find the right
location to place it. Solar Stills need a lot of space to be able to pull it off, so finding an open
field would be your best option.

Dig a Hole
Once you have found the ideal location, the next step is to dig a sizeable hole that would be
able to catch enough water you need. The ideal size would be around two feet long and wide,
and around a foot and a half deep. It is best if you have a shovel or spade with you so that
your digging would be faster.
Optional: Add Vegetation

While this would not be possible if you are in a very dry environment like a desert, adding
vegetation on a solar still would help you get more water at a faster rate.The plants help bring
about more moisture, which helps with the whole process.
Place a Container in the Middle

Once you have your hole dug in well, it is time to place a container in the middle. It is best to
have a large water container to be able to get more water. Make sure that the container is
secure on the ground, so that it won’t fall over and spill your water. You wouldn’t want to
waste all that water in a very dry environment.
Cover the Pit

Once you have everything in the hole set, it is time to cover it with a plastic sheet. Make sure
the sheet does not reach the bottom of the pit, and add some weight on each corner, and add
a small weight in the middle, which should be under the container. Seal all the sides with dirt
and sand to prevent moisture from getting out.

Wait for the Water

After a few hours, you would notice that there would be drops of water going to your
container, this would mean that your still is working fine. Depending on the size of the
container, it would take around 1 to 2 days until you would be able to have a full container of
water.
Key Takeaway
Making a solar still is one fundamental survival skill that you need to have when you are going
outdoors, as you would be able to provide yourself with a solid liquid supply that would help
you survive. The next time you go out hiking or exploring in the vast wilderness, make sure
that you have this skill in your arsenal.

Solar-Powered Crafts You Can Do with Your Kids This Summer

What are solar-powered crafts you can do with your kids this summer?
1. Solar light
2. Solar oven
3. Solar updraft tower
The relationship between the solar system and the Philippines is interesting, particularly during the months of March and April, when people experience a sudden rise in the temperature. It’s amazing how the Earth comes just a bit closer (relatively) to the Sun
during these months, yet the effects on us humans are extremely palpable.
With that being said, the summer season is regarded as a time for vacations, when families or friends come together and go on beaches, resorts, and other tourist spots to make the most out of their summer breaks or simply to beat the heat.
However, some prefer to stay indoors with their families and just enjoy the summer together. Parents, especially, make the most of this time of the year when their kids aren’t at school for five days a week.
If you’re looking for activities you can do with your children while they’re on vacation, you’ve come to the right place—continue reading to find out about solar-powered crafts that you can do with your kids this summer so you could make the most out of the Sun
and the summer break.

Solar Light
Have you ever wondered how amazing it would be if you were somehow able to acquire a small portion of the Sun’s light and use it as your own personal source of illumination? If you have, then there is good news for you: it’s completely possible and you can
do it with your kids.
Materials:
● Mason jars
● Solar path lights (be sure that they fit the top of the mason jars)
● Etching cream
Instructions:
1. Place the jar on a piece of cardboard or a covered table.
2. With gloves on, thickly coat the outside of the jar with etching cream and leave it for 60 seconds.
3. Wash the etching cream off.
After you have finished assembling, all that’s left is to leave it out in the sun for a full day to generate energy before you can finally use your very own solar light.
Solar Oven
The solar oven is perfect for parents and children who enjoy baking. While it isn’t as powerful as electric types, solar ovens are more fun to use and the process of building it is enjoyable just as well.
Materials:
● An empty pizza box

● Aluminum foil
● Plastic wrap
● Tape
● Scissors
● Ruler
● A paper plate
Instructions:
1. Cut a flap in the top of the pizza box leaving a 2″ border on the sides and front.
2. Wrap the bottom side of the flap and the interior side of the box with aluminum foil. Make sure that the shiny side is out and then tape in place.
3. Cover the opening created by the flap with plastic wrap, then tape in place.
4. Place food inside and leave under the sun to cook.
Solar ovens are a new way to make food and they won’t add to your electricity bill at all.

Solar Updraft Tower

Solar updraft towers are powered by simple and easy-to-obtain materials as well as basic physics. Just imagine a vertical windmill and you’ll get the general idea.
Materials:
● 3 clean and empty tin cans (tops and bottoms removed)
● Tape
● An unbent paper clip
● A thumbtack or a straight pin
● A paper pinwheel
● 2 books
Instructions:
1. Stack the 3 tin cans together and tape the points where they meet.
2. Tape the two ends of the paper clip on opposite sides of the top can, like an arch.
3. Tape the thumbtack to the center of the arch, facing up.
4. Place the stack of cans on top of two books with a space in between.
5. Place the paper pinwheel on the center of the thumbtack.
6. Place under the sun.
What happens next will amaze you. You will see the pinwheel spin—this is because the sunlight heats the inside of the cans and creates a convective updraft. This will teach your kids that solar power and physics are awesome!
Key Takeaway
Solar power isn’t a complicated concept and there’s no better way to explain it to your kids than doing solar powered DIY crafts which are easy to make with them. With just basic materials and some sunlight, you can have fun with your children this summer,
while learning with them at the same time.

Celebrate Earth Day by Doing These Simple Things

What are simple ways to celebrate Earth Day?
1. Plant a tree
2. Go on a bicycle ride
3. Take time to read about the Earth
The Earth—our planet—has been around for billions of years, and after all this time, it still hasn’t run out of ways to marvel us. Without it, we would have an incomplete solar system and the Philippines would simply not exist.
However, the Earth isn’t getting any younger and the resources it provides us aren’t going to last for eternity. The planet has provided us the opportunity to experience life and thousands of places to create unforgettable moments in and it certainly deserves
something in return.
Earth Day, a worldwide event that is dedicated to the planet, is held annually on the 22nd of April. It is during this day that everyone is encouraged to do what they can to help in preserving the planet, from switching off unnecessary lights to helping in getting rid
of plastic products.
Anyone can celebrate Earth Day, including you. You don’t have to shut off everything in your home completely or avoid gadgets altogether. In fact, Earth Day can be quite an enjoyable experience. In this article, you will read about simple ways you can celebrate
the occasion.
Plant a Tree
There aren’t enough words in any dictionary to describe how important trees are. They are our primary source of oxygen, they help keep the planet cool, and they are a source of food. Sadly, trees are being cut down every day and they take decades to fully
grow. It is said that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now—and this is nothing but the absolute truth.
Planting a tree is simple and it doesn’t take a lot of time. One tree may not look like much when compared to the sheer vastness of the planet, but it makes a difference, and it can inspire the people near you to plant their own trees.
Go on a Bicycle Ride
Before there were automobiles and planes, people traversed the world on foot or on horseback—or camelback. The travel time back then was exponentially longer, but people didn’t mind as the environment was beautiful and refreshing.
Going to places on a bicycle this Earth Day is a great way to celebrate it. It doesn’t even have to be far places—a few laps around your local area is fine, as you’re contributing in your own little way to lessening carbon emissions, even if it’s just for a few hours. If
you have plans with your friends, meet together on your bikes—it’s going to be a fun experience.

Take Time to Read About the Earth

It’s time we all realized that we should be more sensitive on how we treat our environment – and the earth
as a whole. We are, after all, the main cause of the degradation and pollution of the environment. We’re the
ones who constantly pollute the waters (not just with waste and chemicals, but also with thermal pollution,)
burn fuel that create harmful gases (which consequently destroy our ozone layer and puts our health and
lives at risk) and so much more. These facts only point to one thing: we should change the way we treat the
planet we live in.
There are many ways we can be good to earth. Reducing waste is one. Another is to actively support
environmental organizations in various projects dedicated to nursing the environment back to health. Here
in the Philippines, solar panels are slowly entering the current trend as it allows the use of renewable

energy instead of fossil fuels. One way to know for sure that you’re consistently doing the environment more
good than harm is by building a green home. If that’s not convincing enough, here are a few other reasons
to go green.
Low Operations Cost

When a green building or house is being built, components such as materials used, furniture, and fixtures;
features that make the consumption of energy considerably lower are incorporated into the construction
process to guarantee the efficient use of water, electricity, and other resources when the structure is
finished; which effectively makes the building/house save up as much energy as it can. It is a well-known
fact that as much as 80% of a building or house’s lifetime cost comes from the operating costs, this includes
the water, electric, and other operating necessities of a structure. Hence, if you have a green building, you
can considerably reduce the operational costs of your structure, and be able to save money.
However, it is worth noting that the construction cost of eco-friendly building or homes are more expensive
than their non-green counterparts, but when it comes to the long-term costs such as operational and
maintenance fees, the eco-friendly building is cheaper.
Energy Efficiency
The goal of the people that construct green buildings/homes is to reduce the overall dependency on
nonrenewable sources of energy; which is why they want the structure to be as efficient as possible, and to
eradicate any hint of energy that came from nonrenewable sources. Consequently, they choose to
incorporate solar panels to reduce the dependency on electricity that come from non-renewable sources.
They also incorporate as much windows as they can to reduce the dependency on artificial light, and to
ensure that the building only uses up energy in an efficient manner. They make it a point that for efficiency
to be incorporated because it not only helps the owner, but it also reduces the dependency of people from
non-renewable sources of energy, and most importantly, pollution.
Health Benefits
Aside from energy efficiency, people can also enjoy better health benefits when they live in eco-friendly
homes and buildings. The primary difference of a green building from a non-green building is the materials
that they use to construct the overall structure. The materials that eco-friendly construction companies use
are non-toxic and they also avoid using plastic by-products. This is all due to the health hazards that plastic
by-products have because they release carcinogens that not only cause breathing problems, but are also
known to cause cancer.
Converting to a green home or building will ensure that you will have cheaper operational costs, energy
efficiency, and some health benefits that you would not have otherwise obtained if you opted for a traditional
structure. So, what are you waiting for? Convert to a green home/building now!

Do’s and Don’ts When Owning a Solar System in the

Philippines
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/dos-donts-solar-system-philippines/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 8:07:00 AM
What are the do’s and don’ts when it comes to owning a solar system?
1. Do face all of the panels in the same direction if you are using an inverter with only 1 MPPT tracker inverter
2. Do install a dual string type of inverter if you have to face two different directions
3. Don’t use dissimilar types of solar panel components
In terms of harvesting solar power, the Philippines’ position is definitely advantageous. It is situated just above the equator, meaning it
receives more sunlight compared to other countries.
Due to the favorable global positioning of the country, it is highly recommended that Filipinos purchase and install solar systems atop their
Philippine homes. This solar equipment could turn the sun’s rays into electrical energy.
This alternative source of energy is highly beneficial to the environment because it lessens the demand for fossil fuels. In addition, these
solar panels do not emit greenhouse gasses that could harm the ozone layer in the atmosphere. By utilizing them, your carbon footprint will
be reduced significantly.
Due to this, the number of Filipinos who want to use this technology has risen. They believe that it is a sound investment that they could rely
on. But just like any other investment, they should also be properly taken care of.
Below, you will see a few do’s and dont’s when it comes to owning a solar system in the Philippines.
Do: Have All of the Panels Facing the Same Direction

Having all your solar panels face the same direction will ensure that their harvest is optimized.
Keep in mind that it is important that they are facing the south direction, which is the direction where the equator is located. This direction is
ideal because the panels will be able to acquire the most amount of sunlight, which is vital for raw power output. That being said, if the only
part of your roof that is available for solar panels is facing east, west, or north, it is fine to put it there too but it will generate 3% to 10% less
than south. This is OK – just add another panel or two! Do not add a tracking system which may blow off during typhoons, or a frame mount
facing another direction. It is always best to have a co-planar mount on your roof.
Do: Install a Dual String Type of Inverter (or Dual Tracker) if you face
panels in two different directions
In case you—the homeowner—do not have one surface large enough to accommodate all the solar panels, then there is no other choice
than to install the solar systems on two sides of your roof. This is possible by using a solar inverter with two MPPT trackers, or a “dual
tracker solar inverter”.
Such cases do occur, and for cases like this, it is ideal to install a separate inverter that functions specifically for each side only.
By doing so, the light provided by the sun is maximized and harvested even during the different times of the day.
During the morning, those solar panels installed in the East will be able to harvest solar energy. On the other hand, the panels facing the
West will be able to harvest the solar energy needed to be consumed during the afternoon.
Don’t: Use Dissimilar Types of Solar Panel Components

In order to cater to the varying conditions and preference of consumers, there are different types of solar systems in the Philippines
available for sale.
Due to the varying types of solar panels and its components, the owners must be mindful of the parts that they purchase and make sure
that these are of the same classification.
The different variables that come into play when it comes to solar PV modules are the current and voltage.
If your solar panels have a parallel connection, then you must be particular with the current of the system. On the other hand, if they have a
module with a series connection, you must check the voltage requirement. Always consult a solar professional before doing an installation
as you may damage equipment.
It is essential for a set of solar panels with a series type of wiring to have the exact or at least a closely similar current and voltage
characteristics.
Such alignment of current and voltage is necessary to ensure that the level of performance of your solar systems is maximized. In a series
connection, it will follow the current flow of the least performing panel.
In the event that a solar panel is equipped with either dissimilar voltage or current level, the lower rate of current or voltage will be the one
utilized by the system and not the higher rate. For these kinds of instances, the power output is significantly lessened, meaning the
performance rate of the system is not at its optimum level.
Key Takeaway
These are the do’s and don’ts when it comes to owning a solar panel in the Philippines.
Just follow these tips to ensure that your solar systems are optimized in terms of functionality.

How to Maximize Your Solar Harvest

How can you maximize your solar harvest?
1. Face your solar panels towards the right direction
2. Schedule your appliance usage between 10 am to 3 pm
3. Remove any obstructions
With the help of the solar systems from the Philippines, homes are provided with electrical energy through a renewable and
environment-friendly resource.
If two sets of the exact same model of solar panels were to be placed in two different regions of the country, you might wonder
whether the solar homes will be able to produce the same amount of solar energy.
The answer is ‘No.’
For example, solar panels installed in the NCR (National Capital Region) will not have similar solar harvest compared to those
that are in the Northern Luzon area. In fact, the chance that they generate the same amount of electrical energy is relatively low,
even when they were measured at the same time.
The reason for this is because there are many factors that could overall affect your panels’ solar harvest. Some of which are:
● The angle of your solar panel
● The direction where the solar panel is facing
● The sun’s availability
● Shadows that could obstruct the harvest of your solar panels
Luckily, there are some ways for you to consider in order to maximize your solar harvest.

Face Your Solar Systems Towards the Right Direction

Since the Philippines is above the Equator, then the array orientation (commonly regarded as the direction which the solar
panels face) of the areas in the northern hemisphere of the country must be facing the south direction. On the other hand,
regions in the southernmost hemisphere should be facing the north direction since it is the region that is nearest to the Earth’s
Equator.
But you don’t have to remember all this; you could just instruct your installers to follow your roof’s structure. The reason for this
is because most houses in the Philippines already have their roofs built to face the east and the west—both of which get a
significant amount of sunlight.
Schedule Your Appliance Usage Between 10 A.M. to 3 P.M.

One technique that veteran solar homeowners do to maximize the energy provided by the panels is by only using most of their
appliances from mid-morning until early-afternoon.
Specifically, 10 am until around 3 pm is the ideal time period to utilize your various electrical appliances.
As the sun is slowly rising above the Philippines, the sunlight that it emits gets stronger. Such condition is highly ideal for
consumption.
Do take caution and keep track of the power capacity of your solar panels because overloading it can cause damage to its
system. As much as possible, only use the electrical appliances one at a time.

Remove Obstructions
It is highly common for solar panels to be covered in dust, dirt, leaves, and even the dreaded bird droppings.
For most solar system owners, cleaning the panels may seem like a chore.
However, these obstructions could cause the panels to function inefficiently due to the shade it creates, which blocks the path of
sunlight.
Do keep in mind that every inch of the panel absorbs sunlight, and is therefore essential for a solar panel to function.
Additionally, you might want to be on the look-out for nearby tall structures that may not create shadows on your panels during
summer months, but could definitely be blocking the sunlight come the latter months.
Key Takeaway
And that’s it!
Those are the various ways on how your solar panels can function efficiently.
Make sure to follow these tips so that you can maximize the capacity of your solar panels and get the most out of your eco-
friendly investment.

So, Do Solar Panels Work at Night?

How do solar panels work at night?
1. Through net metering
2. Through the use of solar energy storage technologies, or batteries
In the Philippines, the price of solar panels has decreased significantly. But are they of any use to homeowners and
businesses at night?
It’s safe to say that the consumers have acknowledged the importance of sunlight in order to make the solar panels work and
provide sufficient electricity supply to them. But we still need electricity at night, if only to power electric fans or air conditioners
while we slumber. It can’t be avoided that there is concern as to the usability of solar energy at night, as there is no sunlight
during this time.
Do solar panels work at night? If so, how?

There are two main ways to make solar panels work at night: through net metering and solar energy storage technology or
batteries. Both allow consumers to access energy from the solar panels even without the sun on the rise.
Net Metering
Net metering makes solar panels a huge investment for consumers. It allows consumers to earn from their excess energy
supply during the day, and maintains a connection to the grid during nighttime.
The process works like this: you keep the connection between you and the grid, while you also install the solar panels. So when
the weather’s not good that there’s not enough sunlight for the solar panels to convert into electricity, your electricity supply can
be taken from the grid. On the other hand, whenever your solar panels receive more sunlight, the excess electricity can be
delivered to the grid. From there, you may earn credits that you can use during the night.
It can also be said that the grid serves as an energy storage for solar panels.
Solar Energy Storage

Another way to make solar panels work during the night is through solar energy storage such as batteries. These can be
requested from your solar panel provider to include during installation.
Batteries are widely used compared to net metering, as the latter is not entirely available all over the world.

Are there other ways to further utilize solar panels at night?

As far as solar panels are concerned, various researches are being conducted all over the world to make the said technology
work all night long.
These researches include prototypes, concepts, and technologies that are not only cost-efficient but also available in flexible
materials for energy harvesting. One study, as The Solar Company writes, involved the use of “…embedding square spirals of
conducting metal onto a sheet of plastic (called nanoantennas.”
Through these nanoantennas, solar panels are able to absorb UV light and infrared energy. Infrared energy is basically what the
Earth has absorbed from the sun even after it has set. When combined with stored solar energy, the nanoantennas can have
higher efficiency levels than the standard solar cells.
Key Takeaway
The short answer is yes, solar panels work at night – given that there’s enough stored energy to convert into electricity.
However, with regards to its capability of generating energy during night is simply “possible” – given that researches are still
being conducted and nothing’s definite as of now. Only time can tell what’s in the future of solar panels.

What’s Up? A Sneak Peek on 2017 Solar Panels

What’s new with solar panels?
1. The newest record of 26.3% solar cell efficiency by a group of researchers and the Kaneka Corporation
2. The newly discovered use of manganese atoms in replacement to traditional silicon-based solar cells by the University of Wyoming
professors
Solar systems in the Philippines and around the world are becoming more accessible and affordable. While the solar panels
has become cheaper in the market, the installation costs is still a point of consideration to homeowners. The thing is, the
efficiency of the solar panels can easily make up for the initial costs.
With that said, it’s no surprise that various researches are being conducted to create better solar panels. This quest to finding
solutions that can convert sunlight into electricity even more efficiently is definitely something to look forward to.
But while they’re at it, let’s take a sneak peek on what’s happening with 2017’s solar panels.
The newest record of solar cell efficiency by a group of researchers

and the Kaneka Corporation
As studies show, silicon-based cells, those that make up solar panels and convert sunlight into electricity, can reach up to a
maximum efficiency level of 29%. However, this number has not yet made it into the commercial scene.
Earlier this year, a group of researchers funded by the Japanese chemical manufacturer, Kaneka Corporation, has made it in
the headlines due to an industrially compatible developed solar cells which moved the bar of solar efficiency to a 26.3% from
the previously recorded efficiency of 25.6%.
The said research has been submitted to Japan’s Nature Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO)
and was recognized by the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL). As written in the paper, the researchers used a high-
quality thin-film heterojunction (HJ) and built a 180.4cm2. The thin-film is used to layer the silicon within the cell to reduce the
band gaps where electron states cannot exist. Controlling heterojunction, on the other hand, is known to be a popular technique
among solar builders, including Panasonic, Tesla, and Kaneka to name a few.
More so, the said researchers has included low-resistance electrodes to further maximize the number of photons collected
inside the solar cell. In order to protect the cells, they also used amorphous silicon and an anti-reflective layer for the coating.
Furthermore, it was also noted that the solar cell was made through “industrially compatible” processes, thereby ensuring
people that this can be possible in the market as well.
The newly discovered use of manganese atoms in replacement of

traditional silicon-based solar cells

In a recent study conducted by a group of University of Wyoming professors, it was found that a new material can improve the
efficiency level of solar cells. While they expected only a good 4% increase, the solar cell efficiency has unexpectedly rise to an
average 300% – or 700%, at maximum.
The research was made possible by University of Wyoming professors, Jinke Tang and Yuri Dahnovsky, and funded by the
Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Basic Energy Sciences. This is in line to the office’s program on supporting researches
about understanding, forecasting, and controlling matter and energy in discovering new energy technologies.
What made the increase possible? As stated by Dahnovsky, “We added 4% manganese atoms into the PbS quantum dot. With
that, we only expected a 4% increase in the solar efficiency. However, it turns out that the efficiency level has increased to
700% – that’s unusual!”
He also explained that it was unusual given that electrons tunneling between zinc and manganese atoms was easier than lead
and zinc atoms between a quantum dot and a semiconductor.
The good news here is, this newly found material can contribute to prolonging the life of solar panels, and therefore, could lead
to a good alternative for energy supply in remote areas.
Key Takeaway
From these researches, it can be seen that the quest for high efficiency solar cells will not only revolve around increasing what
studies show as the maximum limit of solar cells efficiency but also, to new, better solar technologies. If you haven’t yet, check
out the benefits of solar panels in your home.

What Would Be The World Like If It Ran Only On Solar

Power?
In today’s world, more and more countries are now using various forms of renewable energy as a major power source. These forms of
energy include geothermal energy, wind energy, tidal energy, and solar energy. These energy sources have been proven to be viable and
legitimate power sources, with the high possibility of replacing other non-renewable forms of energy in the future.Some countries have used
a combination of these energy sourcesand they are enjoying the benefits of being able to use the same amount of energywhile spending
less and keeping the environment clean.
One of the most popular forms of renewable energy is solar power, which has become more available and accessible than before. Solar
panels are now being produced at a higher rate in countries like the United States, Germany, and China – whichare also the countries that
use up a high amount of solar energy. As solar energy use becomes more common, there are some people that are wondering how the
world would look like if it ran on renewable energy sources like solar power.
Renewable Energy Trailblazers

While the amount of renewable energy usage across the world is still minimal compared to the usage of regular forms of energy, there are a
number of countries that have been going green on their energy for the past decade. One country that has been leading the way for the
past few years is Germany, which is the world’s leading user of solar energy. Germany uses over 35 Gigawatts worth of renewable
energyand has been proven to be able to provide a healthy share of energy in various areas of the country.
The United States of America is another example of a country that has been harnessing the power of solar energy. While their renewable
energy resources aren’t as large compared to the rest of the pack, the number of projects related to it have increased in number. The
country aims to use more green energy by the next decade.
Another country that has been using solar energy for a long time is Japan. Japan was the first country to integrate solar energy into their
main power grid. While they may have slowed down with their renewable energy projects in the past few years due to their nuclear
program, Japan has been commissioning new projects to increase their usage and reliance on renewable energy.

Another Asian country that has been utilizing solar energy more and more is China, which is one of the leading solar panel providers in the
world. Like the United States of America, they have been using conventional power sources for a long time, which has been causing
unwanted pollution in the country. With various companies in the country manufacturing a high amount of solar panels, China expects to
increase the number of the total solar panels being used as a part of their national power grid.
Other than these four nations, other countries like Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Honduras, Uruguay, and Nicaragua have also made massive
strides when it comes to renewable energy usage. With these set of countries leading the way, other nations might want to learn from their
practicesand welcome renewable energy in the country.
Producing Results
In terms of numbers being produced, renewable energy has been deliveredand has even satisfied the power neededto their respective
countries. Here are some incredible statistics that can help make you see that renewable energy sources would be the future of energy.


With these kinds of statistics, renewable energy is going on an upward trend during the recent years, and with more projects along the way,
expect more countries to become reliant on renewable energy.
Solar Energy Milestones

Over the years, solar energy has achieved numerous milestones in terms of usage and development. Here are some milestones solar
power has achieved over the years:


A Solar World?

With the various numbers that have been presented in this article, is it possible to have the world that is entirely reliant on solar energy?
With so many countries having energy milestones on single types of renewable energy, why not? The advent of solar energy proved to the
world that using energy from the sun is not only environmentally friendly and safe, but it also showed that it can be relied upon as a primary
source of energy in the near future. However, before envisioning the world that only uses solar energy, let’s try imagining a single country
first.
For a country to rely on solar energy alone, they must have an area that is wide enough to place a good amount of solar panels. The farther
you spread out your solar panels, the more energy you can get. With the quality of solar panels improving, which leads to higher conversion
rates, all you need would be a healthy amount of sunlight regularly. Even without a large land area, solar panels can be installed easily on
various types of infrastructure like houses and buildings, which makes them the most convenient form of renewable energy available. With
their accessibility and ease of construction, it will not be surprising to see cities covered in solar panels in the near future.
If it is possible for a single city and country to rely entirely on solar energy, it would not be farfetched to see countries adopting it as their
main power source. While this is an undertaking that would not happen overnight, it is a project that would see the overall phasing out of
traditional power sources, which can take a few years depending on the number of power plants that will be phased out. While this may
seem like a Herculean task for the world to do, with cooperation and coordination from the government and various corporations, it can be a
project that is highly possible.
Solar Power in the Next Decade

With the rise of renewable energy sources, countries around the world would be looking to phase out their traditional power sources. It will
not be surprising to see at least 20 or more countries around the world to rely on renewable energy for 90% of their major power needs.
With other green energy trends in different sectors like manufacturing and transportation, a world with efficient energy usage will become a
reality.With the recent Paris Conference, countries have been establishing their green energy choices that they should achieve in the next
few years.

Solar panel prices in the Philippines have seen several fluctuations based on the
varying market dynamics. Today, it is admittedly more affordable. Thus, the number
of Filipino households utilizing them has increased.
Admittedly, most of them are still in the process of familiarizing themselves with the
technology. The progress is there, although it is slow moving.
If you are one of these people, who are working hard to incorporate the power of
the sun to your household or local business, do not fret. Our friends from the across
the ocean have a few tips to share with us. Here are some of them now:

Prolong Your Solar Panel’s Life with These

Maintenance Measures
Spending your hard earned cash on solar panels priced in the Philippines is a
smart investment. To make it even more worthwhile, it is important for solar panel
users to take care of them in order to prolong their life span. A few tips you could
follow on how to do just that are:
Keep track of them every once in a while.

You could do this by documenting and jotting down notes of their performance.
This is one way of ensuring you are getting all you can get from this
investment. For example, be sure that it is getting enough sunlight, instead of
shade from your neighbor’s trees.
Clean your solar panels.

Cleaning your solar panels can surely make sure they will last long. All you
have to do is hose down gently all the dirt or muck you find stuck on it. Or if you
want to wipe it down, you could get a really soft cloth so you do not do any
damage to its glass.

Learn from the Mistakes Made by Others

The Philippine Government has a huge responsibility to lead their people towards a
brighter future—towards using solar energy. Currently, it is taking measures to do
just this. Unfortunately, not all administrations across the world are doing these
actions; and the Philippines must do all they can to avoid such mistakes. A few
examples of these are the following:
● Texas has restricted its government in supporting solar energy.
● Virginia is also notorious for stalling the development of solar energy.
● Oklahoma imposes extra tax on solar users, preventing and discouraging them from
using solar energy in their homes and establishments.
● Arizona charges an extra $50 to solar users for their utility usage.
● North Carolina has completely banned solar farms on the state’s premises.
In order to ensure we are making the most out of our endeavors to advance solar
energy, we need to learn from these hindrances and don’t make the same moves.
Key Takeaway
The Philippines has a long way to go when it comes to utilizing solar energy.
However, we are taking small but important steps to get where the other countries
stand—countries that are at the forefront of this movement. By following all the tips
mentioned above, we will slowly but surely reach that goal someday.

In the past few years, the world has seen a gradual and constant shift towards using renewable energy sources in order to
help save the environment. From the solar system, the Philippines, and the rest of the world, renewable energy is
something that can be used and utilized to the fullest. The Philippines is one country that has developed their renewable
energy sources. In fact, solar tech in the Philippines is on a steady rise over the past few years.
Aside from that, some of the biggest companies in the world have begun to use renewable energy sources for their
facilities in an attempt to lessen the emission of harmful gases that would be released into the environment. Along with
these renewable sources, recyclable and biodegradable materials are also being used more widely, which ensures that
there would be less waste disposed in landfills or oceans. To further enforce these policies, these companies set their own
renewable energy goals, some of which have been met with much success. In an effort to inspire others, here are some of
the companies that have reached their renewable energy target:

LEGO
The goal of the famous toy brick company was to have their whole company run on 100 percent renewable energy by
2020. But on May 2017, the company announced that their facilities have already achieved that. In fact, much of the
company’s renewable energy comes from wind turbines, with one of these wind farms producing around 260 megawatts
of energy. Other than renewable energy in their facilities, LEGO also produces solar powered toys to spread awareness of
the benefits of using solar power to the younger generation.
Apple
One of the largest technology companies has also been reaching their target for the past few years, with almost 93
percent of their energy sources coming from renewables by 2015. Apple uses a combination of solar power, hydroelectric
power, and wind power to give them the energy that they need. They are also aiming to ensure that their packaging is
made out of 100 percent recyclable materials, such as bamboo and waste sugar cane.


Google
From one technology company to another, Google has announced that it will be able to reach its goal of using 100 percent
renewable energy in their offices by the end of 2017. The company invested in 44 percent of their renewable energy
during 2015, which comes from both solar and wind power.
Other than wind and solar energy, Google has been also looking into hydroelectric energy and biomass as other
renewable alternatives in the near future.
IKEA
One of the world’s largest furniture companies, IKEA has committed to use renewable energy in their facilities as well.
Their goal is to reach 100 percent by 2025, with most of this energy coming from wind and solar sources. They are also
pushing their green agenda to the whole company as well, pushing to use more organic and recyclable materials in their
furniture, along with using more cotton and lessening the amount of waste that is disposed.
Key Takeaway
As the world shifts to a greener agenda, these companies make sure that they are at the forefront of this positive change.
Thanks to these large companies and industries, it would not be surprising to see the use of renewable energy increase
worldwide in the next decade.

Power Banks or Chargers

When it comes to handling solar power, it can be agreed upon that one of the most notable aspect of it is none other than portability. Luckily, there are numerous solar panels
around the Philippines at a low price for anyone to afford, most notably in the form of a power bank.
Power banks are one of the most convenient forms of gadgetry that can certainly cater to any device, particularly cell phones and mp3 players. The purpose of a power bank is

none other than what it is named for: to store power in a “bank.” This power will then be used to charge your handheld device. For university students, this can be a big deal
particularly if they need to do an assignment or paper on the go, considering they won’t need to find an outlet to get power from.
Use as Sources of Power

This is the most obvious use of a low-priced Philippine solar panel there is, and it is also the most important thing to consider. Electricity is one of the many commodities that
aren’t easy to come by.For students, this is just something that can’t be easily afforded. In any case, availing for solar power will not only help you maintain your savings, it can
also give you all the convenience in the world.
Take for instance, students living in dorms. While they are usually provided with all the amenities they’ll need to get through the days, solar power is something a little extra so
they won’t have to worry about any inconvenience at all, especially when a blackout occurs.

Use as Study Guides

Of course, solar power is one of the most notable subjects to study in the field of science; and with science being identified as a Gen Ed subject in the Philippines, low-priced
solar panels are definitely able to guide any student to the right path.
This is not only applicable to STEM subjects, but business studies as well as one can study the capabilities of the solar power industry. If ever you wish to do research on this
particular field, then by all means get to reading!
Key Takeaway
Life as a student is certainly not easy in many ways.Thankfully, with solar power in their lives, students can have one less thing to worry about.

4 Extraordinary Uses of Solar Panels in the Philippines

What are the improvised uses of solar panels?
1. Device battery charging
2. Water heating (and cooling)
3. All around ventilation
4. Outdoor lighting
With the decrease in solar panel prices in the Philippines and all over the world, people can now make use of solar energy in
every way imaginable; aside from using it as an alternative to the traditional utility grid of electricity, that is. Going green with solar
energy has provided the world of new ways to power up appliances, home utility tools, and even tech accessories, further saving
utility grid provided electricity.
In this article, we’ll show you 4 extraordinary uses of solar panels and solar energy; all of which you can try at home!
Battery Charging
Have you ever thought of using solar energy in charging your batteries? Well, we think it’s time to do so. Sunlight is always
present, and not using it even for small applications can be a waste. Thankfully, there are companies that sell solar-powered
device chargers helping innovate the way people charge their devices’ batteries. Though, if you have the right materials, you can
also opt to create your own device solar charger! Building one can help you better your devices especially when you’re doing
outdoor activities such as traveling and camping.
Water Heating
Swimming pools are better used when it’s not too cold to dip in. This very problem can be solved through adding a solar blanket in
the pool to warm up your water, or perhaps a solar heating system to help you better get the job done. What the solar heating
system does is it uses the light collected from the sunlight and converts it to heat. The solar panels will be mounted on your roof to
collect the heat, and from there, the heat will be passed onto the pool. Thus, increasing the pool’s water temperature. Conversely,
this technology can also be used in cooling pool water especially during hot seasons.

Ventilation
Despite the widespread use of air conditioning units, ventilation fans are still very common. This goes most especially in the sala,
dining room, kitchen, and many other areas where unwanted air are most existent and the need to circulate the air in return for a
cleaner one is vital. More than anything, it helps remove foul odor at home. However, it cannot be denied that the use of both air
conditioners and fans can rather amount to particular returns on your utility bills. The practical alternative is using solar-powered
fans that you can either buy or build yourself.
Lighting
When you come home at night, you definitely prefer seeing light both inside and outside of your home. This does not only make
your home look visible, rather it also helps in avoiding unwanted guests at night. With solar lighting, you can make your home as
well-lit as possible without worrying about your utility bills. The solar panels can help charge the batteries during daytime and make
use of it during nighttime. You can even design your own solar-lit landscape to make your home look better at night.
Key Takeaway
Literally, these extraordinary uses of solar panels are lit. Solar panels do not only help save you from expensive utility charges and
minimize the pressure on utility grids, but it also allows you to customize your own energy resource. The use of solar energy in the
Philippines is definitely a huge advantage!

Death of Coal Industry Due to Growing Solar

Systems in the Philippines?
What is the difference between coal and solar?
1. Coal is cheaper in terms of energy content, however is expensive in terms of chemical emissions that lead to environmental and human
health problems.
2. Solar is a sustainable power source that do not emit harmful chemicals, however is still being developed further considering its issues with
power generation during night time.
Solar systems has the Philippines and the rest of the world blown away for being a feasible power source in the long term. It
was able to eliminate the side effects that other power sources had, notably carbon dioxide emissions that was causing harm to
the environment. With Philippine solar systems starting to take the spotlight, does this mean that coal mining in the Philippines
is now doomed?
What is coal?
Coal, also known as fossil fuel, has been the primary source of energy worldwide. It is either a combustible black or brown
sedimentary rock made of organic carbon. It is commonly found as layers or veins, and are either mined through surface mining
or underground mining.
While it has been found to be a cost-efficient power source for its energy content, it also plays as a catalyst in common
environmental issues for emitting carbon dioxide. Aside from being a main contributor to climate change, large amounts of
carbon dioxide in the air also declines the oxygen supply for breathing. This causes major health complications that can lead to
unconsciousness, convulsion, or death. The process also exposes miners to several health and safety hazards.
How does solar differ from coal?

Both solar and coal are found to be cheap in terms of costing, however, they differ largely on emissions and availability.
Emissions
The disadvantages of coal-sourced electricity was often overlooked due to its cheap price. However, using fossil fuel has
caused the emission of various chemical components that harm the environment and contributes to major calamities around the
world. Among these include carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide:
1. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is emitted when burning coal. It’s considered harmful to humans and the environment given that it cuts the oxygen
supply for breathing, leading to major respiratory issues.
2. Sulfur dioxide is emitted by coal-fired power plants. It plays a huge role for acid rain as when it goes up high in the atmosphere and comes
in contact with water, it returns to earth as rain with sulfur acid content.
Solar energy, on the other hand, do not emit any emissions on its power generation process.
Availability
The initial availability of coal globally led to its regular consumption. It was basically available 24/7 and is not affected by cloud
cover unlike solar thus becoming one of the main sources of energy.
Meanwhile, solar currently cannot generate the same efficiency with the presence of cloud cover. Moreover, it cannot produce
power during night time given that it relies highly on the sun.
Will solar take over coal in the near future?

According to Bloomberg’s report, solar reliance is growing faster than any other energy source. This means that carbon dioxide
pollution could possibly be eliminated by 2026. By 2040, it is expected that solar costs will fall by 67% in the US and 85% in
Japan, and that 34% of electricity will come from wind and solar power sources. This may mean that we are nearing the fall of
the coal industry around the world.
Key Takeaway
If solar systems in the Philippines and the rest of the world takes over coal, we can expect that it could cause the world at an
advantage. After all, it’s a healthy, sustainable power source. The carbon dioxide as led by coal mining in the Philippines should
soon decline resulting to a greener environment in the near future. We hope it’s not too late!

The reduced solar panel price in the Philippines and around the world has surprised many.
Nevertheless, it brought convenience and happiness to the people. It helped reduce the usual utility
bills of both homeowners and commercial establishments, and offer an alternative power source to
remote areas which often face struggles when it comes to electricity supply. In the Philippines, this
renewable energy has not only changed the way people consume power, but also health institutions
and hospitals. A feasible alternative considering the tested stability and efficiency of said power
source.
2015: Calamba Doctor’s Hospital, Calamba,

Laguna
Photo
by Pia Ranada/Rappler
Going back to year 2015, Calamba, Laguna made headlines of a huge integration of solar panels in
one of its private hospitals. Perhaps, it was the largest renewable energy system in the Philippines
to power a hospital during that time.
The Calamba Doctor’s Hospital uses solar energy along with wind energy to supply 20% of its
power requirements through a partnership with Orion Group International. The administration and
their investors aim to go green and augment their power supply especially that the year 2015 was
forecasted to experience energy crisis during the year. Also, the said integration was expected to
lessen the hospital’s utility bill from Php 800,000-1,000,000 to Php 160,000-200,000 at maximum. In

return, however, the hospital will also pay Php 16,500,000 for the installed renewable energy
system where 10% goes to the deposit, while the left 90% will be paid over the next 5 years.
2016: Castro Maternity Hospital and Medical

Center, Baliuag, Bulacan
Image
from Meister Solar
Another life-changing integration of solar system in the Philippines is Castro Maternity Hospital and
Medical Center’s. It was a step by step process which ultimately resulted into a good 50KW of pure
solar power source.
In partnership with Meister Solar, the said health institution held a solar system atop its roof top
where the angle is best situated. This helped the hospital reduce its electricity bills with Php 727,650
as savings every year. More so, it helped lessen 40 tons of carbon dioxide emissions at best,
thereby allowing the hospital to contribute to the green advocacy of producing clean energy.
How does the renewable energy system

guarantee them?
Solar is the most stable renewable energy source, yet. Hence, the said investment of the Calamba

Doctor’s Hospital on solar-wind system and Castro Maternity Hospital and Medical Center cannot
be questioned. It has proven time and time again of its lifespan especially with quality panels
installed. The solar panel price in the Philippines, most especially, is a huge advantage considering
its cost-efficiency. The said Philippine renewable energy system is expected to last for at least 25
years at maximum.
Key Takeaway
Every solar investor has their own unique story, however amongst others, hospitals remain to be the
most heartwarming. The benefits that hospitals and other health institutions can gain from solar
does not only guarantee savings but also the stability of this power source to provide for their
energy needs. Furthermore, it helps promote clean and green renewable source to reduce carbon
dioxide emissions.

What are the top ventures on solar systems in the Philippines in 2017?
1. PetroGreen Energy Corporation’s 10 MW solar park in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
2. First Toledo Solar Energy Corporation’s 60 MW solar farm in Tuledo, Southwestern Cebu.
As residential and commercial establishment owners continue to venture onto solar systems in the Philippines, so as
the progress of the solar power projects in the country. Various business owners have tried and succeeded their
ventures on said renewable energy source, hence, the continuous efforts on making the turnover of utility grid usage to
solar systems.
In this article, we’ll discuss about the 2017 ventures on solar systems in the Philippines.
PETROGREEN ENERGY CORPORATION (PGEC)

PetroGreen Energy Corporation (PGEC) is a subunit of the Philippine oil company, PetroEnergy. Earlier this year, it was
reported that the said subunit was granted with an environmental clearance for its solar system project located in Puerto
Princesa City, Palawan.
What is the project about?

PGEC is to build a photovoltaic/solar power station also referred to as solar farm or solar park. It is a large-scale solar
system designed for augmenting merchant power into the utility grid, and of which, are often scaled in megawatts (MW).
What is the aim?

According to a company statement, PGEC envisions the planned 10 MW solar park to be the first green and renewable
source of energy in the city of Puerto Princesa and the entirety of Palawan.
Is it feasible?
Amongst others, Palawan remains to be a locality where energy source is limited hence supported by diesel energy
source. This very reason could hinder Palawan from its potentials of growing into an urban city. With its reputation over
the world due to its widely known tourist spots and natural attractions, the project being prepared by PGEC is a feasible
and long-term solution for its energy source problem.

Not only will Palawan get the support that its community needs, but also an environment-friendly source of energy that
will not put nature in danger.
FIRST TOLEDO SOLAR ENERGY CORPORATION (FTSEC)

First Toledo Solar Energy Corporation (FTSEC), sister company of Citicore Power, has been granted support loan by
Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) for its 60 MW solar farm project in Toledo City, Southwestern Cebu and is
now distributing green energy source to the utility grid.
What is the project about?

Similar to PGEC, FTSEC has proposed a solar farm project to support the energy source of the locality and meet the
needs of the people. Also, it aims to contribute energy supply to the grid, and promote green energy source in the
industry.
What is the aim?

The company aims to support a green environment by installing renewable energy-sourced facilities such as solar,
biomass, wind, and hydro power. Alongside its powerful aim of promoting green energy sources, is to give opportunities
to the community wherever they install and operate solar farms.
Is it feasible?
The solar farm project is feasible for both sides: the owner and consumer. Aside from being able to augment the energy
supply in Visayas region where common outages occur, the project also helps promote the use of green energy for
electricity supply. In fact, according to reports from Cebu Daily News, the project will most likely replace around 157,000
barrels of crude oil that causes air pollution in the area. Hence, it can also be expected that the same project will help
reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 38,000 tons. Today, the Toledo solar farm is the largest solar plant station in
the country.
Key Takeaway
Brisk implementation of solar energy source has become prevalent in the Philippines, and we’re in favor of these
companies’ aim. Solar energy is the wisest way to augment power supply around the country as it is not only renewable,
but also promotes a clean and green environment for people to live in. Plus, it opens more employment opportunities
within communities!

The 4 Biggest Environmental Threats

For the past few years, several environmental issues have been attributed and gave birth to the different environment policies, laws, and green advocacies created by government and various environmental organizations from
different parts of the world. Different countries across the globe are participating in various environmental campaigns to help in the preservation and protection of our Mother Earth. In fact, several affordable prices of solar panels in
the Philippines are available since many Filipinos are now environmentally conscious and have been installing solar panels on their roofs.
But, what environmental threats are we talking about? What are the alarming issues that we need to resolve? Asking these questions and knowing the threats to the diversity of life on Earth will help us know the different ways on
how we can get involved in the conservation of our environment. Let’s take a look at some of the biggest environmental threats that we should start addressing.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/big-environmental-threats/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 8:17:19 AM

Climate Change
One of the common environmental threats we are now facing is climate change. Climate change refers to the change in climate patterns – may it be regional or global – and the rise in average surface temperature on Earth. Some
of the effects of climate change are melting of polar ice-caps, rising of sea levels, extreme heat events, droughts, fires, and extreme rainfall and floods, which cause significant risks to our forests, natural resources, and human
health.
Deforestation
The continually loss of our forest has been one of the extreme issues the Earth is facing. Our forest covers about 30% of the Earth’s land, which provides a natural habitat for the wildlife, serves as a protection from flooding and
sandstorms, and plays a vital role in water cycle. This is why the destruction of forests is accompanied by various negative effects on the planet. Deforestation may lead to the loss of habitat for millions of species, damages the
quality of the land, extreme temperature swings, pollution, and drives climate change.
Loss of Biodiversity
Every species has its own role in our environment that makes the ecosystem balance. However, with the arrival of the environmental problems, such as climate change and deforestation, biodiversity will be put at risk.
Loss of biodiversity negatively affects the environment, the same way climate change and deforestation do. An imbalanced ecosystem and the decrease of natural resources are some of the significant changes that occur when
there’s a loss of biodiversity.

Rapid Growth of Population

It has been said that the more the merrier. However, when it comes to the rapid growth of world population, it is not the case. The current human population is extremely high and it continually grows that our system can’t handle it.
As the population increases every year, the demand for the Earth’s natural resources also increases. According to World Wild Life, we are currently using 1.5% of the Earth’s resources to produce all the renewable resources that
we need. This instance can result to food shortage and limited resources.
Tackling the threats to the environment is essential so we can properly address how we can stop these environmental issues and preserve the state of the Earth not only for us, but for the future generation as well.

Is Solar System the Fastest Growing Energy

Source?
What made the solar system the fastest growing energy source?
1. It’s limitless and smartly produced.
2. It’s earning a huge consumer base.
3. It has significant drop in costs.
4. It’s efficient overall.
Solar systems in the Philippines are the new source of energy; it’s efficient, less expensive, and profitable if you’re
selling the house. Solar panels have proven its perks since being released in the market, and has provided people a
new way to conserve energy and reserve other sources of power to minimize the supply. Today, the increasing
demand for this renewable energy source has rapidly increased.
It’s limitless and smartly produced.

The way solar systems in the Philippines are sold, one can say that the said source of power has limitless
possibilities. After all, it’s the sun! But what about when it rains? This is where human intervention makes a plausible
discovery of arranging the energy production. You can attach a battery to save a handful of energy for the rainy
season or enroll for the metering program.

It’s earning a huge consumer base.

With all of the benefits provided by having a solar system in the Philippines, there should be no question as to how
the consumer base has grown in the past couple of years. Both residences and businesses are known to use solar
energy, an evidence that people trust solar. More so, it has no harmful effects on people and comparatively minimal
damage to the environment which makes it a wise choice for everyone.
There has been a significant drop in costs.

India, China, USA, and many others – these has been the regions where there are reported drop in solar costs. You
get to pay $0.65 cents for a watt in India, $0.78 cents in the US, and much cheaper in the UK. Japan, on the other
hand, maintains a feasible price of $2.07 given its natural calamity risks such as the strong wind, constant
earthquakes, and the mountainside erosion that affects the whole engineering process. It’s a positive thing for most
consumers, given that it won’t be hard to install a solar system in any Philippine house today. These solar panels in
houses do not only bring about a good supply of energy, but it also allows you to save from expensive utility grid
billings every now and then for a smaller installation price.
So, is solar the fastest growing energy source?

According to the International Energy Agency, solar energy is now the fastest growing source of power. This was due
to its ground-breaking record of accounting for almost • of net capacity around the world. The said growth was said to
be a courtesy of the on-going popularity of solar panel installations especially in China. Moreover, the recent
expansion in the US has also led to the said region being recognized as the second largest market for solar systems.
In the Philippines, one can say that the recent ventures of various big companies are also contributing to the growth
of this renewable source of energy.
Key Takeaway
The growing expansion of solar panels in houses and commercial establishments caused a huge impact in the
industry. Thus, solar gaining recognition for being the fastest growing source of energy amongst its peers, wind, coal,
and fossil among many others. It can be said that this achievement has truly made a wonderful exposure for using
solar systems as an alternative sustainable source of energy.

Mistakes to Avoid When Using Solar

Systems in the Philippines
What are the usual mistakes homeowners make when going solar?
1. They opt for a solar lease and power purchase agreement that creates a huge financial impact despite the free
installation.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/common-mistakes-solar-systems-philippines/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 8:18:41 AM

2. They install solar systems on an old roof.

3. They usually do not seek information about solar efficiency and tend to spend more.
Success stories of installing solar systems in the Philippines has been making rounds and has also
turned the use of solar panels as an alternative to utility grids into a trend amongst residential areas. In turn,
a lot of people have opted to using this renewable energy to their advantage, especially with the decrease in
its pricing.
Hold your horses though. Going solar is great in many many ways, but you need to makes sure you don’t
make these common mistakes.
Mistake No. 1: Opting for a solar lease and power

purchase agreement
Choosing to sign a solar lease and power purchase agreement (PPA) is basically just renting a solar system
from a solar leasing company. While this may allow you to freely install a solar system at home without
shelling out to purchase the equipment, some agreements tend to last for 20 years. Solar leasing
companies often gain bad reputation as they tend to make things difficult with home sales especially when
potential buyers do not approve of the agreement.
Mistake No. 2: Installing the solar system on an old

roof
This is a common mistake and is often among the costly ones: installing a solar system when your roof is
already near its peak of replacement. Always keep in mind that the solar system is installed on the roof so
the panels have easy access to direct sunlight. However, you should also note the durability of the roof; in
short, make sure that the roof doesn’t need any other work done at the time of solar system installation.
Solar systems are generally designed to last for around 25 to 30 years, hence it could be wiser to proceed
with the roof work first if any are needed before installing the solar system.
Mistake No. 3: Not doing your homework about solar

efficiency
Understanding how solar efficiency works isn’t rocket science, hence it is comprehensible for homeowners.
The usual mindset of a potential solar owner would be to aim for an incredibly high-efficiency panel,
because, well, it’s highly efficient. For homeowners, this option could be over-the-top and costly. This is
where understanding your home’s energy requirement becomes significant.
An efficient solar system can be achieved with the right orientation of your panels, the approximate available
hours of sunlight used for solar collection, the angle, and even the amount of ground or roof space available
to you.
Quick Tip: The solar-south orientation is the most efficient way to get desirable results when it comes to
collecting sunlight as it allows the most coverage during the available hours of the sun.
Key Takeaway
With these in mind, it should be easier for you to make smart decisions and successfully install the solar
system while avoiding extra expenses that could make the installation costlier than they should be. The
most expensive options don’t necessarily mean that it’s the best for your use. You can always achieve high-
efficiency panels with the right orientation, angle, and placement of your solar panels.

Germany: Running on 85% Renewable Energy

How did Germany become the world leader in renewable energy?
1. In 1991, their government established the Renewable Energy Sources Act. This required the power companies to allow renewable energy
companies to connect to the main national grid.
2. The power/utility companies were even required to pay the renewable energy companies for their power.
3. This guaranteed a market for renewable energy, which was made it an attractive business to make a long-term investment in.
4. With the support these investors and the government, the renewable energy business flourished in Germany.
5. By April 30, 2016, 85% of all the power consumed in Germany was from renewable energy.
6. It is said that this figure will be a normal everyday occurrence by 2030
What inspires many individual and groups to invest in solar systems in the Philippines is the way Germany uses renewable
energy. Despite not having a climate like ours, the Germans were able to find a way to harness the energy of the sun in an
efficient way. In fact, 85% of their overall power comes from renewable energy sources such as solar panels. Read on to see
how they achieved this amazing feat.
Public and Political Support

Germany doesn’t really get much sunlight. In a way, this means it doesn’t really doesn’t make sense that they have become the
world’s leader in solar energy. But the big difference between them and other countries is social and political support on the use
of solar systems. Because of this, the necessary regulations to make use of such systems passed early on. In fact, they started
back in 1991 with Renewable Energy Sources Act. This law required utility companies to allow renewable energy companies to
operate along with the national grid and to pay for their power. This helped to offset the high cost of such power production.
Doing this also guaranteed that there will be a market for renewable energy. Thus, investing long-term in the business and
service was extremely attractive. With the support of these investors, the solar companies became financially stable to operate
at will.
In short, this success in nationwide solar energy production is not because Germany found an ingenious way to harness the
sun, but because they had the means and support to do full production.

Breaking Solar Records

Back in 2014, Germany achieved a national record by satisfying 50% of their power needs with solar power; 23.1 gigawatts to
be exact. At this time, this figure was also half of the entire world’s production of solar energy at the time. Wow!
Then in 2015, most of the electricity demand in Germany was satisfied with renewable energy. It’s not hard to see why when it
was reported that both wind and solar sources alone of energy generated 40.65GW of power. During this same year, 4.85 GW
of power was produced from biomass and 2.4 GW from hydropower. That brings that grand total to 47.9GW of power produced
by renewable energy. At that time, Germany’s power demand was 61.1 GW. This means that renewable energy accounted for
78% of the country’s power.
Finally, on April 30, 2016, this record was broken again. On this day, Germany generated enough renewable energy to satisfy
85% of the country’s power demands. This happened even while all the coal stations had their day off; it was Sunday. The
energy mostly came from wind, solar, and hydroelectric power.
Just goes to show how dedicated Germany is to the service. In fact, this 85% figure is said to become a normal evenryday
occurrence in Germany by 2030.
Key Takeaway
Because of the full support of its people and government, Germany is able to go into full production with renewable energy such
solar power. Even with little sun – as compared to tropical countries like ours – it still was able to become the world leader in
renewable energy and solar power.

Our Humble Beginnings: Teaching Filipinos How to Use

Solar Energy in the Philippines
Why would a solar energy company in the Philippines teach its trade secrets and know-how to the general public?
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/teaching-filipinos-use-solar-energy-philippines/ (1 of 4)10/4/2018 8:20:29 AM
Here is our backstory:

Four years ago, my wife and I wanted guilt-free air conditioning using the sun without batteries. (We had some energy management
experience doing aerospace projects in the US and assembled a 3kW mini rooftop solar plant to see what happens.) What happened is
that we switched one of the country’s homes to send its surplus solar energy back to the grid and worked with Meralco so they can
credit us the kWh we send their way and the City of Makati for all that building official stuff on what to be the next wave of solar
technology known as grid tied with Net Metering, NM.
It was an exciting learning process for all to get NM with serial number #00001 going.
You can learn more about this story on this page.
Solar back in 2013 was starting to make economic sense vs. escalating grid power costs as solar panel prices in the Philippines have
crashed because of decades of efforts from First World countries to adopt in mass scale with generous subsidies. It is the convergence
of declining manufacturing costs from Asia suppliers and the absurdly high rates of power in the Philippines that made it viable then and
even more pertinent today.
Right now, solar energy is the fastest riser in Global energy production and countries are adopting it as it is a race against time because
of climate change and rising carbon emissions from unbridled industrialization. Countries like China and Britain are junking coal all
together and installing GW of Solar as if there is no tomorrow. They had solid awareness on what green power can do, and how it can
replace energy stalwarts like coal and nuclear.
It takes more than lowered costs to get a new technology out, it is the education on how the technology works, separating fact from
myth, how can one benefit from it, and since installing solar takes a fair amount of technical skill—basic bedrock of fundamentals is
needed.
After seeing a number of do-it-yourself builds fail spectacularly, we realized that the industry needed help to avoid problems and
accidents. So we developed our Solar 101 and 202 curriculum using real world input from foreign experts, actual installation or design
scenarios, and mercilessly removed the markety scams and false economy solar builds, such as urban solar street lamps out the
window and designed a solar course that has purely the consumers’ interests in mind.

We have been doing the seminar for 3 years, we have seen all kinds of people walk-in including Senators, Energy policy makers,
contractors, homeowners, businessmen, factory owners, engineers, housewives, and your basic electrical contractor (who now does
solar kaya ice plant with our training).
Our business coach said it is madness to teach potential competitors about installing solar, but we said Nobody can monopolize the sun
and our country needs this technology to be available and implementable as soon as possible. What happened is that we trained over
1000 people from Batanes to Zamboanga on how to install solar panels and have resulted in MW’s of installed capacity that can easily
dwarf the largest of malls, and this momentum is growing.
The only thing that is as infinite as the energy of the Sun, is the Filipinos desire to learn, start a new business or find pragmatic solutions
to heavy problems like Global warming or guilt-free air conditioning.
Our next Solar 101 and 202 seminar is on September 23 and 24 course details and cost are found at this page.

Solar 101 Seminar
https://solaric.com.ph/solar101 (1 of 4)10/4/2018 8:20:54 AM

Capitalizing from years of installing solar systems in the Philippines, Solaric has developed an industry renowned weekend course on Solar Energy called Solar 101. It is a semi technical course that allows a lay person or engineer to understand the practical
aspects of solar systems and how it can economically bring down electricity bills, replace diesel generation and most importantly teach the average consumer or policy maker on what type of solar system to install in a no nonsense non biased manner. From
Housewives, business owners, Energy managers, and even other solar companies have made this a very popular course over the past 3 years as every chapter and page of content of this class is based on practical or actual experiences in solar projects in
the Philippines. It is uncommon for a company to divulge trade secrets in solar installation but our view is that quality fundamentals and techniques are needed to make renewable energy grow in sunny Philippines.

countries have been achieving numerous milestones when it comes to the usage of renewable energy, which has proven its worth.
However, despite the many benefits of using solar energy, some people still have their doubts. With most of the world inclined with using
conventional power sources for the longest time, some feel that renewable energy sources would not be able to produce the same amount
of power as they did.
Given this along with other renewable and solar energy facts has made pushing the idea challenging. While the opinion on renewable
energy has improved, there are still some groups and media outlets that spread numerous myths and misconceptions. To address these
myths, here are some answers with regards to the many solar energy myths.

Myth #1: Solar energy cannot be used during the night

Perhaps the most common misconception of all, since solar energy harnesses energy from sunlight, many people believed that it would not
be able to supply power during night time. This becomes one of the main reasons why people are hesitant with using solar power.
FACT: Despite what most people believe, solar energy does work during the night. While they may no longer be able to receive sunlight for
energy, many solar devices have enough energy in store for them to be able to supply energy during the night.

Myth #2: Solar panels are expensive

Another reason why people are hesitant when it comes to investing in solar energy is that of the perceived high costs.
FACT: While this may have been true during the early years of solar energy development, the costs have decreased by a significant margin
over the past few years. There a good number of reasons why the prices of solar panels have gone down, and these include the increased
demand from various sectors along with the reduced costs of manufacturing it. Additionally, compared to other forms of renewable energy,
solar energy is the most convenient and accessible.

Myth #3: Solar energy is not efficient in reducing pollution

The goal of all kinds of renewable energy is to provide the same amount of energy that conventional power sources can give, while also
being more environmentally friendly and clean.
FACT: As a response to this, solar energy greatly reduces the amount of pollution for they emit smaller amounts of greenhouse gases
compared to fossil fuels.
Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energy sources barely have any emissions and these emissions do not cause the same amount of
environmental damage that fossil fuels bring. With the rest of the world aiming to prevent further damage to the environment, using solar
energy is one of the best solutions.

Myth #4: Solar panels work better in hotter climates

Given that solar panels get their energy from the sun, it is an energy source that can be used by the world’s tropical countries. Due to the
fact that they get more sunlight compared to most countries, it is assumed that solar energy will work better in tropical countries.
FACT: While there are a good number of tropical countries that use solar power, higher temperatures actually lower the efficiency of solar
panels. Photovoltaic solar panels make use of the sunlight to get energy, not the heat.

Myth #5: Solar panels do not work well in colder climates

Since solar energy is generated from sunlight, it is assumed that solar panels would not work as well in colder countries. While this may
seem the case, due to the lesser amount of sunlight exposure that these countries get, this is not the case.
FACT: In fact, countries that have colder climates make solar panels more efficient. This is due to the fact that colder temperatures
increase the conductivity of solar panels, which make them perform better. If you have a set of solar panels during a cold and sunny day,
then you are ensured that you would be able to get the best out of your solar panels.

Myth #6: Solar panels need constant maintenance

Since solar panels are a relatively new piece of technology, people assume that they are more fragile and harder to maintain compared to
conventional power sources. Despite these assumptions, they are not as fragile as they seem to be.
FACT: Solar panels are actually more durable than they look. Due to the fact that they are installed outdoors, it is expected that they are
exposed to the elements. With this in mind, solar panels were made to be weatherproof, which enables them to work even during the most
extreme conditions. For maintenance concerns, it is recommended that you have your panels checked annually for any issues and
concerns.

Myth #7: Solar panels can damage my roof

Since solar panels are required to cover up a good portion of your roof, people are concerned that the installation of solar panels may cause
damage and fatigue to the roofs of houses. This damage to any structure can cause numerous inconveniences to the people residing in it.
FACT: Contrary to these beliefs, solar panels can actually help in preserving and protecting your roof. This can help protect your roof from
the elements and make it last longer. People who install these solar panels are also trained professionals, who know how to properly place
and angle these solar panels to become more efficient. Of course, it is important to make sure that the roof in which the panels would be
installed are damage-free to prevent further concerns.

Myth #8: Solar panels require tracking systems so that they follow the
angle of the sun
Solar panels work best when they are angled in a way that they receive the highest amount of sunlight. Since the sun moves constantly
during the day, tracking devices are required to help them readjust.
FACT: While it is true that the angles of a solar panel need to be adjusted accordingly, it is not required that you constantly readjust your
solar panels. Solar panels are already adjusted to receive the most amount of sunlight that they can in the position that they are in, so
constant shifting may lead to times of the day where you would not receive enough energy.
Key Takeaway
Solar energy is the most popular form of renewable energy available, which leads to so many questions about its durability and reliability.
Luckily, today’s set of solar panels is durable, reliable, and efficient enough to address your power needs. If you are looking to install some
solar panels in your home, you are making a good investment that would benefit you and the environment.

5 Things You Need to Know About the Paris

Agreement
Image by Martin Reisch
The Paris Agreement is the global effort to reduce climate change by the end of the century. Our own
President Duterte is already on board with the movement and has even installed a system of solar panels
in the Philippines, specifically in North Cotabato. It is possible that he may begin asking his citizens to
comply as well. Here is everything you need to know about the Paris Agreement.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/all-about-paris-agreement/ (1 of 3)10/4/2018 8:24:48 AM

2 Degrees
The Paris Agreement is all about keeping the world’s average temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius
above preindustrial levels until 2100. Some may think that this is such a small number for a global
movement but the smallest increase in global temperature already has huge consequences. Such a climate
change could cause higher seas, drastic weather changes, and food and water droughts.
It’s Completely Voluntary

The accord states that, in order to achieve the aforementioned goal, countries should reach their peak
emissions as soon as possible – before 2020 to be exact. This is the time when carbon emissions need to
begin to decline rapidly lest the whole planet suffer the dire consequences. However it is not stated how the
government is to do so. It only provides the framework to start greenhouse gas reduction. The government
of each involved country will decide how they will reach their peak emissions as fast as possible.
The idea is to create a culture of accountability. Because of this, no punishment is provided for breaking the
agreement for all 195 countries that have agreed to it. But since there was no punishment, the US was able
to withdraw from it. While they are not bound to follow it, their withdrawal has been subject to global criticism.
The Rich will Help The Poor

Part of the agreement is for richer countries to provide 100 billion dollars by 2020 to aid less financially-
capable countries. The logic of this provision, in relation to climate change, is that the rich countries will be
making up for their malpractices. These countries were able to attain their money by burning huge amounts
of fossil fuels which also contributed to climate change. Thus, poor countries that do not have the budget
needed to protect themselves from global warming suffer because of the actions of rich countries.
The amount of $100 billion per year is set to increase over time. However, like other provisions in the
agreement, this is isn’t an absolute mandate.
Donald Trump and the Withdrawal of the United States

As previously mentioned POTUS Donald Trump has recently withdrawn the United States of America from
Paris Agreement. He also claimed that climate change was a hoax created by the Chinese to hurt the
economy of his country. Ever since he was sworn into office, Trump has been rolling back rules that limit
carbon emissions and backing out of the Paris Agreement just further proved this.
Under the Obama administration, the US promised that it would reduce its carbon emissions by 28% by
2025. This amounts to 1.6 billion tons of carbon. Approximately 150 businesses as well as some states
have already agreed to comply to this. It is clear that the United States would have played a key factor in
reaching the Paris Agreement’s goal especially given that it is the world’s secpnd largest pollutant.
What Happens Next?

Since the US has withdrawn, the world is now looking to China to take the lead the agreement and the
country has already taken up the mantle. Premier Li Keqiang said that “China will stand by its
responsibilities on climate change”. Being that his country is the largest pollutant, their compliance with the
agreement is what the world needs to see that the agreement’s goals are reached. They have already
committed to reaching their peak emissions by 2030 so that they may quickly shrink it afterwards. Also, they
will be investing $350 billion in renewable energy by 2020.
The Paris Agreement is a global movement and one of the biggest showcase of world unity in a long time.
For it to succeed its mission, world leaders are making the efforts to reach peak emissions as soon as
possible. In order for them to do that, their citizens must follow the changes and new acts they may
implement.

How to Make a Mini Solar Car

If you’re trying to think of a good science project and you live in a country where the sun doesn’t stop
shining like the Philippines, then a solar panel and few cheap materials is all you need! With these you
can create your own mini solar car. Here is how you do it:
Materials
1. A light wood or plastic frame; at least 6 square centimeters
2. 4 small axles or thin metal bars
3. 4 wheels
4. 4 eye
5. Adhesives and tape
6. 1 DC Motor
7. 1 small solar panel; just big enough to fit your mini car frame
8. 1 small gear and/or pulley
9. 1 large gear
10. Thin plastic tubes or drinking straws
11. 1 soldering iron
Creating the Body

Take the wood or plastic frame and create the basic body, at least 5cm wide. First you must figure out
where to place the eye screws that will hold the axels. To do this, plot out four points near each corner on
one side of the body that will serve as the bottom of the car; the points must be about an inch from the end
of the length and ½ inch from the side. Note that these points MUST be parallel to each other. Firmly place
the eye screws.
Adding the Wheels

Insert the 2 axles inside the eyes of the eye screws; 1 axle to hold the front wheels and another to hold the
back wheels. When placing the axels on the screws, keep in mind that they must be able to rotate freely.
Then use plastic tubes or pieces of straw to be the spacer between the eye screws, and the wheels and
gear that you will be placing on the axle. The tubes/straw will prevent these components from swaying from
side to side.
Place one large gear in one of the axles. This will serve as the connection of the axle and the motor. Thus,
this is an important step; fail here and the car will not run properly. As much as possible try to find a gear
that is the perfect fit for the axle. If you cannot find one, then get a plastic gear with a small entry point. You
can carefully burn the hole with a soldering iron to make it larger and fit the axle firmly. Whichever you
choose to do, glue the gear into place on the axle.
Insert the wheels into the axles and adjust/replace your spacers if needed. Once you have the proper
measurements, glue the wheels in.
Building the Electronics

Add a small gear or pulley system onto the shaft of the DC motor. Then glue this on to the top of the body of
the car (on the other side of the axles) in a way the teeth of the small gear interlocks with the teeth of the

large gear firmly yet smoothly. After you do this, move the car back and forth on the flat ground to make
sure that the gears are properly working together.
Next, wire the motor to your solar panel and glue the panel into place. You could position this in any way
that you want, depending on your design preferences. However, it is recommended that you keep it either
horizontal or tilted so it could capture as much heat from the sun as possible.
Once this is done, you are finished constructing your miniature solar car. You must then test if it works!
Testing
The first thing you should test again is if the wheels can still rotate properly. Check it on the flat ground,
rough ground, an inclined surface, or in your hand.
When you are sure that the wheels can rotate smoothly, look for a good heat source. Either good outside on
a sunny day or use a strong lamp (at least 120 watts). If all the wiring is correct, then your car will run.
Revise and correct the wiring or construction if your car fails to move.
The heat from the sun (or any other light source) will be absorbed by the solar panel which converts it into
electric energy. This can be used to power almost anything, given that the panel can convert enough energy
to handle it. In this case, it powered a small motor which was smartly connected to gears, axles and wheels
hence allowing the car to move.

Best Deal in Our Solar Panel Priced in the Philippines | Solaric Blog
How to Get the Best Deal in Our Solar Panel Priced in the Philippines
How to get the best deal in solar panels priced in the Philippines? Learn how it works, find out what is the best setup for your needs and even learn how to install it by yourself via our Solar 101 & 202 seminars.
The use of solar energy to replace or reduce paying for grid power is relatively new and not yet fully understood by the general public but without a doubt is much cheaper than paying for utility as it lasts for decades; and has
no moving parts and packs more than enough power to run multiple air cons with our scorching Philippine sun.
It is rather unusual that a solar installation company teaches its “trade secrets” on how solar works and connecting it down to the nuts and bolts level. At Solaric, we have a different philosophy on how we do business. Solar
energy could never be monopolized, controlled by the oligarchs, but an energy resource that is free to all. We simply teach how to harness it, make it run our electrical appliances that make our modern lifestyles possible, and
in some cases produce ZERO electric bill.
The language of solar derived electricity is rather simple but implementation a little bit complex to some as it needs fundamentals in physics, energy, mechanical, and even political considerations as we connect it to the
national grid that needs our excess power, especially when it’s hot.
We have come out with a single weekend seminar that allows homeowners, business men, and even professional electrical engineers to grasp concepts that are unique to Solar PV and what it means to bring down their
electric bill or run a remote off grid installation.
Since not everyone will be installing their own setups, it is divided into two segments, Solar 101 and Solar 202 workshop.
Solar 101 is an 8 hour class that covers the basics of electrical energy, Volts, Amps, Kw vs Kwh to ensure the class has a firm grasp of electrical ABC’s, then midday into the technical and sizing ratios of the number of solar
panels to kWh demand. In the afternoon, we will be discussing different types of solar systems, installation pitfalls to watch for, and how to get net metering so you don’t need to waste money on short lived batteries.
To register, please log in to this page.
On the other hand, Solar 202 works on the theories from 101 but progressively more technical with wire sizing calculations, voltage matching, racking of solar modules, and live wiring of systems. This is compulsory training for
those wanting to buy solar equipment but without prior solar experience, or seasoned practitioners to level up with globally accepted safety standards.
Online Registration is on this page.
How effective is our class?
Attendees can determine what size of solar works best for them and have us install a system at discounted prices worth much more than the P5k seminar fee. This is how smart homeowners get solar installed at lower than
published prices, learn what they need from their own calculations and matched to their lifestyle.
The cost for the seminar is P5000 for Solar 101 and P5000. Solar 202 graduates will have access to our installer component rates and after sales tech support to get their projects going. For information about the upcoming
seminar dates, you may click here.
We have been running this seminar for three years and the current result is MWh’s of clean renewable energy produced every day and casting doubt on a feasibility study for another polluting coal plant.
For more information go to this page or call us at 5040092 or at 09178603141.

Philippines in This Age

We are getting a lot of calls lately from people we surveyed the past few months; they say that they want solar NOW and Solaric
big time packages, as the electric bill was not kind to them this summer. The hot weather causes increased demand and the lack
of supply is driving their electric rates through the roof, except if you got Solaric’s solar panels priced in the Philippines on your roof.

People tend to react when the crisis is on our feet; we were having some talks with the Government about solar many moons back
regarding the Philippines power supply, back then, the technology and its potential was not fully understood by politicians and
energy specialists. Grid tie and Net Metering were unheard of and unfamiliar topics with the LGU (local government units) and
local power utilities. That was back in 2013.
“Solar couldn’t be cheaper than grid” exclaimed one; “how about if it’s raining would the lights go off,” said the other, however, we
knew that solar worked in countries like Germany and Japan, where it’s not particularly sunny, and the output was so potent that
they decided to mothball their ageing nuclear plants because the supply was now augmented.
Things are different now and technological barriers and cost efficiencies that favored burning coal is now becoming obsolete or
downright irresponsible with climate change.
At Solaric, we are pioneering bill reducing solar technologies and conduct open source solar seminars on how to engineer
projects. Our focus is providing the consumer their own personal power plant on their roof, so they can minimize their own power
bill.
You may ask, how effective is solar—we routinely half electric bills as this is what Government policy supports with Net Metering
and current buyback rates. Install enough solar to cover daytime loads with any excess purchased by the utility (at a discounted
rate).
Occasionally, we have very green minded people who think beyond the 5-year ROI (return on investment) and put in so much
solar power that the bill reads P0.00.

So to the pundits out there saying “paano kung walang hanging, walang araw,” our retort is: “Paano kung walang bill, Paano kung
walang polyusion! ” Now, my friend, is the time for change and the time to say goodbye to the status quo.
Investing in solar is beyond saving a few pesos; it’s a lifestyle of saying “who’s the boss?” and caring for the environment.
Want to learn more? Go to this page or call us at 5040092.
For best quotes, we need to know what your monthly bill is like and what appliances you normally use during daytime hours.

Dangerous Toxins to Avoid in Food

Living sustainably is one of the campaigns of various environmental organizations around the globe. By living green, you may
choose to consume less meat, use natural household cleaners, reduce water use, and install solar panels on the roof.
Apart from purchasing affordable prices of solar panels in the Philippines, the patronage of natural and organic products in the
country is also seen as a way to switch to sustainable lifestyle. The advent of natural and organic products in various
establishments in the metro gave people option to choose fresh produce rather than the toxic ones.
Unfortunately, various food products in stores contain toxins, which are harmful to human health. The best way to avoid our
exposure to harmful chemicals is to be familiar with them and with the food that contains them. Read on and take a look at the
dangerous toxins you need to avoid in food.
https://solaric.com.ph/blog/dangerous-toxins-to-avoid-in-food/ (1 of 5)10/4/2018 8:29:59 AM

Bisphenol-A (BPA)
Bisphenol-A or BPA can be found in food and beverage linings, such as plastic bottles and food containers. This chemical
compound can allegedly boost breast and prostate cancer, diabetes, obesity, and behavioral problems. As much as possible,
avoid canned goods. Instead, opt for fresh, frozen, and dried ones.

BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) and BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene)

BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) and BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) are two food preservatives commonly used in the food
industry. These preservatives are usually found in butter, cereal, potato chips, and baked goods. Apart from being a food
preservative, BHA and BHT are also used in lipsticks, moisturizers, and other cosmetic products.
BHA and BHT are known to induce skin allergic reactions. According to the International Agency for Researcher on Cancer, BHA
is a possible human carcinogen, a substance that is capable of causing cancer in living tissue. Moreover, BHA is categorized to
interfere with hormone function.

Sodium Aluminum Sulphate and Potassium Aluminum Sulphate

Sodium Aluminum Sulphate and Potassium Aluminum Sulphate are often used in baked goods, cheese products, microwave
popcorn, and other packaged goods. These two toxins are suspected to have been linked in adverse behavioral, developmental,
and neurological effects.

Sodium Nitrite and Sodium Nitrate

Sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate are both food preservative and curing agents. Sodium nitrate is a salt that is used to add flavor in
bacon and luncheon meat. On the other hand, sodium nitrite is also a salt used to cure bacon and ham.
According to cardiologists, the intake of sodium nitrate may increase your risk to develop heart disease. On the other hand, sodium
nitrite may cause kidney failure and organ damage.
There are several ways on how to switch sustainable lifestyle—opting for organic and natural products is one of the easiest and
simplest means. By choosing organic and natural products, you will not only avoid these dangerous toxins but help preserve our
environment as well. You may also choose to grow your own food to ensure that it does not have any harmful toxins. Just
remember when you go shopping, check the label of the food that you will be purchasing to make sure that it does not have any
harmful toxins.

The Advantage of Going Green

Using Solar Panels Priced in
the Philippines
Does it make sense to Go Solar these days?
Absolutely! We live in a very sunny and tropical country, perhaps one of the
most beautiful of them all, Sunny Philippines. Unfortunately, we are also one of
the nations most affected in climate change, and end up paying for one of the
highest power rates in Asia.
After powering relief centers and schools in Tacloban right after Yolanda, we
take climate change very seriously and our goal is to make our country more
environmentally responsible than ever.
Powering a nation needs many sources of energy, given that Nuclear power
may be a bit too risky for a geologically active country with multitudes of
volcanoes and earthquake faults. With the rest of the world closing down coal
plants because of pollution issues, we have to find other sources of power, and
the answer already falling on our roofs.

The solar panel equivalent of Bataan Nuclear Plant is like giving every Pinoy a
solar panel priced in the Philippines less than a size of a cartolina.
Is this a pipe dream? Perhaps no more as Germany and Japan gave solid
subsidies so that their citizenry can install and are rewarded, when they put
their own solar rooftops in terms of tax breaks and favorable Net metering
prices. They, in turn, shut down dozens of nuclear plants due to increased
supply of renewables.
As a home owner, the only practical energy resource is to harness sun energy
that falls on our roof and convert it to electrical energy using our solar panel
system builds.
Our main strategy is to put enough solar to cover daytime hour consumption as
that is the easiest to power without using batteries or selling excess power back
to the utility at a discount. However, there are some customers who have
ZEROED their entire electric bills by using LOTS of solar panels on the roof and
essentially became a mini solar farm in their neighborhood.
Solar worked for countries like Japan, Germany, and US—they are not exactly
sunny countries with lots of solar energy. But in the Philippines, it works like
magic; even without a single centavo in Government subsidies or tax relief
support.
Solar rooftop makes sense because of the abundant sunshine that falls to our
roof and low labor rates to install solar panels priced in the Philippines. Just
using less coal power plant power sourced makes financial sense with a
bankable solid return. Returns of less than 5 years are common to solar builds
using grid tie technology and capitalizing on existing legal framework of net
metering to sell back excess solar power to the grid in order to offset night time
consumption. For a product with a service life of at least 25 years, this is

outstanding.
Every day, we energize a rooftop project either directly from our own hands or
from one of the more than a thousand installer and DIY builders we have
trained in the past three years. A single solar panel has the carbon offset of
planting 160 trees, and we planted (installed) thousands and thousands of solar
panels. A few hundred houses and industrial plants later, we probably killed the
feasibility study of another coal plant and gave notice that going green for both
the wallet and the environment makes sense and a financially sustainable
endeavour.
DIY packages at less than the cost of a well-endowed smartphone makes going
green a no nonsense solution on practicality and social responsibility. Air
condition units run capable builds can range from P100k to P140k.

So, if you hate paying more than you should for power, want guilt-free air con,
or simply do NOT want to pay for power anymore, call Solaric at 5040092. You

The 3 Phases of Turning on the Sun

https://solaric.com.ph/blog/phases-turn-sun/ (1 of 5)10/4/2018 8:32:13 AM
Paying too much for electricity—this is a monthly fact of life that we are making obsolete either by installing solar or empowering
independent installers. Turn On the Sun simply makes sense as the Sun is an infinitely renewable and most abundant power
source.
Solaric, which has solar panels priced in the Philippines, has been installing and developing cutting edge solar systems that
decrease, and at times if installed in copious or audacious amounts, results into a ZERO or even negative electricity bill.
We have energized hundreds of homes and dozens of large power intensive businesses—like steel and ice plants—and have
developed ways for highly efficient systems.
Every day, we get questions like: HM po ang Solar? Easy question, but an intelligible answer would at least take 10 minutes of
thinking and pencilling down some equations and a short interview on how you use power.
To help you out, we categorize solar builds in various phases or levels of commitment.

Phase I: Solar Energy = Daytime Base Load

This is when the great majority of our installations takes place. We install enough solar power so that it will be equal or make it
slightly higher than the amount of your daytime consumption or base load. Our engineers will enhance your electrical system to
use solar as first priority and grid power as second priority. If there is not enough solar, it will draw proportionately from the grid; if
there is too much solar, then the excess will be sold to the grid using Net Metering.
The Net Metering setup is the most pragmatic design, as you would be using primarily solar power vs. grid power during daytime
hours. There is no battery storage needed; you also don’t need to rely too much on selling the excess power to the grid for credit.
This is not magic or alchemy, but proven principles of electrical engineering and a program backed up by national law to decrease
the cost of electricity and increase energy sources in the country.
Phase 1 can mean a modest dual panel setup that erases P800 to P1k a month at P60k, to a 5kW build that is common in large
power hungry houses in gated subdivisions at P450k. Seminar attendees, especially ones with electrical or contractor background,
can get them at drastically discounted DIY packages after our training program. Learn more about it by clicking this link.
The most requested package is the “kaya daytime aircon,” which is normally a 1.5kW system at around P140k installed.
ROI is a proven sub 5-year level with users reporting 14% to 25% return on investment. This happens without using any batteries;
we actually do NOT recommend using any LEAD ACID battery if bill savings are your ultimate goal, as storing and discharging
energy in a lead acid battery costs more than grid rate.
In short, Phase I is solar energy = daytime base load.
Phase II: Phase I + 2x Night Time Load in Solar

Phase II, on the other hand, is for people who want to pay next to nothing or even ZERO on their bills. It stacks on the principles of
Phase I, install enough for base load and DOUBLE for evening loads. We would say double because the utility is only buying your
excess power at half rate or generation charge, even though the RE law says otherwise.
ROI is longer because exported power is only valued at about half value, but it is something our Phase II clients still find priceless
because simply paying for retail power rates is no longer acceptable after witnessing what solar does to an electric bill. Many of
our Phase II builds are customers who want the full deal, which is being defined with a power bill that reads P0.00.
Being in Phase II means you are getting Phase I + 2x night time load in solar.
Phase III: Phase II + Energy Storage for Loads that Needs to Run on
Backup
Then, there is the holy grail of solar builds: The NEGATIVE carbon footprint house. This is a build that is so green minded
audacious that the solar house (in the eyes of ERC a RE power plant) not only generates all the power it consumes, but has
oodles of excess renewable energy that is resold by the utility around the entire block. The capability to run Offgrid mode, also
included with energy storage using Lithium batteries, are the main features of a Phase III build. This is borne from our military
application projects and R&D into TESLA power wall substitutes and whole roof solar systems.
A Phase III system solves all of our power engineering questions such as, paano kung may brownout, typhoon, earthquake,
zombie apocalypse? Nothing would matter to Phase III build as there will always be power produced at rates that rival coal.
This means that Phase III will include Phase II + energy storage for loads that needs to run on backup.
Key Takeaway
With energy storage coming down due to worldwide adaptation of E Vehicles, we see this as a future trend, but already deploying
them for the most cutting edge residential homes, research institutions, and even military application projects worldwide.
If you want to get Solaric to design, build, and install your ultimate solar project, call us at 5040092 or email us at info@solaric.com.

Celebrate the New Year by Being Informed About Solar

Systems in the Philippines
2017 is a new year, which means that there is never a better time for you and your business to invest in renewable energy. We highly advise for
you to learn the core fundamentals of solar power, particularly the ROI mathematics, so you can make informed investment decisions and
calculations. In Solaric, we teach various people how to utilize safe solar energy through their various solar systems from the Philippines in the
most cost-effective way by doing it yourself or by having enough knowledge to direct your friendly electrician.
Check out when is our next Solar 101 and 202 seminars by clicking this page.
Solaric, the foremost rooftop provider of solar power in the Philippines, has been teaching others the basics of PV solar. Our Solar 101 and Solar
202 seminars are the must attend resource to train energy industry executives, equipment brokers, bankers, policy makers, budget astute
housewives, tech savvy prosumers, and even other solar companies (overtly or covertly). We aim to educate them on how to safely put in solar
as well as demystify what solar can and cannot do in an open and easy environment.
For more details about the seminars, you can visit this link.
The cost is P5000 per day. With this rate, you will gain practical knowledge, which beats 300 hours of Google searches—this is a guarantee!
solar

101 by Solaric
You might ask, why would a solar company teach potential competitors on its business? The answer is simple, really. There is NO way a single
company can provide renewable energy to a growing nation of 100 million people, going renewable is a social philosophy that we embrace and
something that has to be done to mitigate climate change that is ruining our country.
Solar power is now cheaper than coal; it provides a meaningful step in providing clean, cheap, and infinitely renewable power to fuel our homes,
industries, and aspirations. However, it relies on technology, meaning the knowledge of science and ratios is needed for its proper application.
Another query you might have is, why do we go out of our way in holding these seminars? For this, we say that as a system integrator, we are
also called on to fix other people’s builds; and we see on a regular basis solar builds that were built wrong, have undersized wiring, have
oversized sales pitches, or (more critically) experience electrical safety considerations, which had been blatantly ignored from sheer ignorance.
As a solution, what we do is to enable the intrepid entrepreneur, the business owner, or homeowner design, build, analyze, and in some cases
install their own solar projects like a boss.
The Solar 101 seminar goes over the principles of solar, how much solar is just right, and when is it probably too much (because there is such a
thing). The computation of Return of Investment and the technicalities of getting Net Metered installation and how to make the utility buy back
your excess power, so you would NOT end up buying batteries.

Solar 202 seminar, on the other hand, is the application of all theories from the previous seminar. We will be going over installer specific
discussions such as tapping points, wire sizing, mounting and positioning techniques, important system voltage calculations, as well as tackle
questions regarding HOW all of these could be utilized in your own home, business, or even utility scale solar farm.
People, who pass our Solar 202 class, are given dealer/installer access to our installer only price list as we are assured that basic safety
considerations were covered and understood by the participant. We rather sell high powered solar panels and inverters to those who understand
and respect the power of electricity—it’s really heart breaking to see thousands of pesos spent on equipment destroyed by an untrained installer.
With Megawatts of purchasing power of top shelf solar equipment, we bring down costs of solar products to our seminar attendees and, of
course, to our customers.

Learn about Solar Through Solar 101 and 202

Do you want to know more about solar power and solar systems in the Philippines? Are you tired of paying one of the highest
electricity rates in the world? Well, you’ll be glad to know that solar works very well in the Philippines because we have so much
more sun, higher electricity rates, and lower installation costs than homeowners experience in the US. Every month, upon
increasing popular demand, we have been conducting our industry shaping Solar 101 and 202 seminars to teach the art and
science of putting up solar installations in the Philippines.
We share our knowledge on how to build solar systems, size them just right, avoid common problems we see in the field, as well
as compute for the Return on Investment from small builds that light up a home, to major solar farm utility projects that you might
see reported on newspapers.
You may be wondering why we are sharing our trade secrets. To shed some light, one of our main goals here in Solaric is to see
more common homeowners or local businesses to adapt solar and understand it at a faster rate. We believe that it is good for the
economy since it does not need a centavo in subsidies; All you need for it to thrive are quality materials, overall system designs,
and more importantly the information on how to execute it and how to install it.

Our “trade secret” is our guiding philosophy: Design and build every system as if it’s our own money in the line—this is how we
started, that’s how we do it.
For those asking whether this is some kind of “Sell-Me Na-rs,” you’ll be disappointed to know that we don’t do those. It’s not our
style, nor is it an enjoyable way to spend your weekend. However, you could always ask the speakers some questions regarding
solar panel installation or solar panels in general during the seminars.
Our Solar 101 and 202 seminars are just two days, but they are HEAVY in the pertinent details in putting up solar in the
Philippines. In two days, you will learn about solar technology and solar equipment in an unbiased manner. We will also frankly talk
about the permitting process and difficulties you will face when using solar.
All of that takes a little investment in time and money.

In the Solar 101 and 202 seminars, you can expect to learn about the mechanics on how to integrate solar panels to any electrical
system (from Ice plants to a small residential project). You will also be informed about the salient details on how solar works, the
computation for your ROI, as well as the things you need to watch out for when installing high powered solar systems.
In these sessions, our regular guests are astute businessmen, energy executives, solar farm designers, various (solar) energy
companies, home owners, solar enthusiasts, and entrepreneurs, who want to be more than well informed about solar, in general.
The event costs P5000 per day. The whole seminar is divided into two segments: Solar 101 and Solar 202. For more information
for the next Solar 101 and 202, click here and here!

Countries Supported by the SolarEdge Inverters

The SolarEdge inverters can be used in many different countries. This document details countries where SolarEdge approves
installation of its inverters. Installation should always be done in compliance with local regulations, and in case of a conflict
between local regulations and this document, local regulations apply.
Summary
The SolarEdge inverters may be installed in the following countries. Unless stated otherwise, the approval refers to low voltage
installations. For medium voltage installations, please contact SolarEdge support. Please refer to the country details below for
more information, as in some countries not all grids are supported or not all inverter models are supported.
In supported countries, connection of supported inverters to non-supported grids is permitted through a transformer, if the
secondary connection (transformer connection to the inverter) is identical to a supported grid.
NOTE
Transformer procurement, installation, maintenance and support are the responsibility of the installer. Damage to the inverter due to
incorrect transformer installation or use of a transformer that is incompatible with the SolarEdge system will render the SolarEdge
warranty invalid.
NOTE
Prior to purchasing a StorEdge system verify battery availablity and service in the country. Availability of SolarEdge StorEdge products
does not guarantee battery availabllity.
A country listed in bold indicates that StorEdge inverters with backup are approved for installation in that country.
NOTE
The StorEdge Inverter must be connected Line to Neutral (and not Line to Line).

Smart Energy Management for Reduced Electricity Bills
Increase your self-consumption
Grid electricity prices are constantly on the rise. This situation motivates the installation of large PV systems
that allow owners to minimize consumption from the grid during the day. However, in some countries local
regulations limit the amount of PV power that can be exported to the grid or allow no export whatsoever,
while allowing the use of PV power for self-consumption. Therefore, without an energy management system,
PV systems cannot be installed (if no export is permitted) or are limited in size (if export is limited to >0W).
The SolarEdge Smart Energy Management solution offers an export limitation option, integrated in the
SolarEdge inverter firmware, which dynamically adjusts PV power production. This allows you to use more
energy for self-consumption when the loads are high, while maintaining the export limit also when the loads
are low.
SolarEdge Export Limitation
• Export limitation is integrated into the inverter firmware - install only an energy meter
• Fast Response Time - ensuring that even with rapid changes in load consumption and PV production the
export power does not exceed the limit
• Failsafe Operation - the operation is designed to guarantee that the exported power will never exceed
the preconfigured limit under any fault
SolarEdge Inverter as Energy Manager
• Export limit is configured via the inverter user interface

• In a multi-inverter system, one inverter will serve as the energy manager
• Installed SolarEdge inverters can be firmware upgraded with the export limitation option
Meter Support
• The inverter can read a meter installed either

at the grid connection point or at the load
consumption point
• Two types of meters may be used:
An RS485 meter, available from SolarEdge; the
meter connects to the RS485 terminal block of the
SolarEdge inverter
A meter with an S0 interface and an S0 meter
adapter cable available from SolarEdge
• The inverter maintains the output power limit with
accuracy equal to that of the meter
Export Limitation Operation Example
The following example illustrates the behavior of a 6kW PV system, with an export power limit of 0W - no
export to the grid.

Hybrid Offgrid Inverter HOG

Product Description
This 2015 we may very well see a repeat of the 90’s power crisis -forecasted daily rotating brownouts just like in
Mindanao. We can point fingers whom to blame why we are going to run out of power this coming summer but if
you don’t act, don’t be cursing the darkness in want of an electric fan. We normally espouse Grid tie as the most
economical or straightforward system, but grid tie does not work during brownouts. Our permanent solution to end
our country’s power crisis, is the H.O.G. system. Solaric HOG is not some porcine beast but a Hybrid Off Grid
system that will not only lower your electric bill, but will also keep you powered during blackouts. It will use solar
before Meralco, store any excess power in the batteries, and then run the batts down till 50%, and charge from
Meralco only if needed. It will make sure your lights stay on no matter what. It is simply our “bawal brownout”
system with quality parts and automated switching simplicity. Our engineers were hard at work last 2014 and
came up with the HOG, they even made it big enough to power welding machines and yes even your puny aircon
if you want. We used it for big jobs in a power nightmare scenario called Post Yolanda Tacloban. It is a solar
power system that uses Meralco only when it has to (ie batteries are 50% or less or if Solar and battery is not
enough) HOG will dramatically extend life of batteries over brainless Off grid, since it keeps batteries from getting
over drained – it switches over to Meralco whenever the batteries are low.

CAUTION: Important
Be sure to connect AC wires with correct polarity. If L and N wires are connected reversely, it may cause
utility short-circuited when these inverters are worked in parallel operation.
CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioner are required at least 2~3 minutes to restart because it’s required
to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuits. If a power shortage occurs and recovers in a
short time, it will cause damage to your connected appliances. To prevent this kind of damage, please check
manufacturer of air conditioner if it’s equipped with time-delay function before installation. Otherwise, this
inverter/charger will trig overload fault and cut off output to protect your appliance but sometimes it still causes
internal damage to the air conditioner.
PV Connection
CAUTION: Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately a DC circuit breaker between inverter
and PV modules.

WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for PV
module connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as below.

Hybrid Offgrid & Grid Tie Inverter HAGRID

Product Description
This inverter ends the debate whether to go offgrid or grid tie. It does BOTH Grid Tie and Offgrid. The 3kW version It accepts up to 4500W of solar
panels, and can power up 3000W of loads in offgrid mode (during brownouts or night time). It can charge batteries easily using solar or Meralco with a
potent 25A charger.
The 5kW version accepts up to 10kW of solar panels, and is “stackable” with a built in parallel kit – you can add up to 5 more units to have 30kW in
total.
HAGRID hybrid inverters very versatile – you can configure it with your computer to turn it into a pure offgrid, or offgrid with AC charging, or grid tie
with feed-in for net metering applications. You can also manually set the definition of what is “low bat” and when to stop discharging, as well as when
to start discharging again.
1 year warranty – not waterproof (for indoor use only)

If using sealed lead acid battery, please set up the floating charging current according to
below formula:
The maximum floating charging current = Battery capacity (Ah) x 0.2
For example, if you are using 125 Ah battery, then, floating charging current is 125 x 0.2=25
(A). Please use at least 25Ah battery because the settable minimum value of maximum
charging current is 5Ah. If using gel or vented battery, please consult with installer for the
details.

7. Setting and LCD Display
Setting Program:
The parallel function setting is only available by Solarpower or Solarpower Pro. Please install the software
in your PC first.
For setting, you can set the inverter one by one through RS232 or USB port.
Note: When using serial port (USB or RS-232) for communication, you only can monitor the inverter
connected with serial port directly. The other inverters will not be listed in Solarpower software. However,
some settings can be applied to all with serial port connection. These kinds of settings are listed as below:
But we suggest you use the SNMP card or Modbus card to combine the system as a centralized monitoring.
So you can use “SYNC” option to set all the inverter at the same time.
7
 Use SNMP card to synchronize the parameters:
Each inverter should have one SNMP card. Make sure all of the SNMP cards are connected to the router as
a LAN.
 Use Modbus card to synchronize the parameters:

Each inverter should have one Modbus card. Make sure all of the Modbus cards are connected each other
and one of the Modbus cards is connected to the computer by RS-485/RS232 converter.
Launch SolarPowerPro in computer and select Device Control >> Parameter Setting >> Parallel output. Two
options: Enable or Disable.
If you want to use parallel function, please choose “Enable” and press “ ” button. Then, “ ”
button will be shown is the screen. Please be sure to click “ ” button before clicking “ ”
button.
There is a “Sync” button in each parameter setting. When “Sync” is clicked and “Apply” is pressed, this new
setting will be applied to all inverters. If not, this setting is only effected in current inverter you choose.
Note: Without centralized monitoring system, “Sync” function is not effective. Then, you have to set up the
inverter one by one through serial communication port.

Step 1: Check the following requirements before commissioning:
 Correct wire connection.
 Ensure all breakers in Line wires of load side are open and each Neutral wires of each unit are
connected together.
Step 2: Turn on each unit and set “enable parallel for output” on Solarpower or SolarPower Pro.
And then shut down all units.
Step 3: Turn on each unit.
LCD display in Master unit LCD display in Slave unit
NOTE: Master and slave units are randomly defined. Warning 02 is AC GRID voltage low.
Step 4: Switch on all AC breakers of Line wires in AC input. It’s better to have all inverters connect
to utility at the same time. If not, it will display fault 82 in following-order inverters. However, these
inverters will automatically restart. If detecting AC connection, they will work normally.

Middle Clamp
Product Description
Made of extruded aluminum, our middle clamps – as are its included steel
bot and nut – are made to ensure safe and reliable mounting of solar
panels on any given surface. Depending on the number of your panels,
you will need a different amount of these clamps. The general rule is to
multiply the total number of solar panels in an array with 2, then subtract
two from whatever the product it.
For example:
1 solar panel = 0
2 solar panels = 2
3 solar panels = 4
4 solar panels = 6
5 solar panels = 8

PRODUCTS
CONDITIONS TO AVOID Prohibit smoking, sparks, etc. from battery charging area. Avoid mixing
acid with other chemicals.
SECTION 7: CONTROL MEASURES

1. Store lead/acid batteries with adequate ventilation. Room ventilation is required for batteries utilized
for standby power generation. Never recharge batteries in an unventilated, enclosed space.
2. Do not remove vent caps. Follow shipping and handling instructions that are applicable to the
battery type. To avoid damage to terminals and seals, do not double-stack industrial batteries.
STEPS TO TAKE IN CASE OF LEAKS OR SPILLS
If sulfuric acid is spilled from a battery, neutralize the acid with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda),
sodium carbon (soda ash), or calcium oxide (lime).
Flush the area with water discard to the sewage systems. Do not allow unneutralized acid into the
sewage system.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Neutralized acid may be flushed down the sewer. Spent batteries must be treated as hazardous waste
and disposed of according to local state, and federal regulations. A copy of this material safety data
must be supplied to any scrap dealer or secondary smelter with battery.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Due to the battery’s low internal resistance and high power density. High levels of short circuit can be
developed across the battery terminals. Do not rest tools or cables on the battery. Use insulated tools
only.
Follow all installation instruction and diagrams when installing or maintaining battery systems.
SECTION 8: HEALTH HAZARD DATA

LEAD: The toxic effects of lead are accumulative and slow to appear. It affects the kidneys,
reproductive, and central nervous system.
The symptoms of lead overexposure are anemia, vomiting, headache, stomach pain (lead colic),
dizziness, loss of appetite, and muscle and joint pain. Exposure to lead from a battery most often occurs
during lead reclaim operations through the breathing or ingestion of lead dusts and fumes.
THIS DATA MUST BE PASSED TO ANY SCRAP OR SMELTER WHEN A BATTERY IS RESOLD.
SULFURIC ACID: Sulfuric acid is a strong corrosive. Contact with acid can cause severe burns on the
skin and in the eyes. Ingestion of sulfuric acid will cause GI tract burns. Acid can be release if the
battery case is damaged or if the vents are tampered with.
FIBERGLASS SEPARATOR: Fibrous glass is an irritant of the upper respiratory tract, skin and eyes.
For exposure up to 10F/CC use MSA Comfort with type H filter. Above 10F/CC up to 50F/CC use
Ultra-Twin with type H filter.
NTP or OSHA does not consider this product carcinogenic.

Tel:(+86-571) 56975980 Fax:(+86-571) 56975955
SECTION 9: SULFURIC ACID PRECAUTIONS
INHALATION: Acid mist form formation process may cause respiratory irritation, remove from
exposure and apply oxygen if breathing is difficult.
SKIN CONTACT: Acid may cause irritation, burns or ulceration. Flush with plenty of soap and water,
remove contaminated clothing, and see physician if contact area is large or if blisters form.
EYE CONTACT: Acid may cause severe irritation, burns, cornea damage and blindness. Call
physician immediately and flush with water until physician arrives.
INGESTION: Acid may cause irritation of mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach. Call physician. If
patient is conscious, flush mouth with water, have the patient drink milk or sodium bicarbonate
solution.
DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
SECTION 10: TRANSPORTATION REGULATIONS
Acceptable modes of transportation: air, rail, road and water.

Batteries must be protected so as to prevent short circuit and must be securely packed.

L Foot
Product Description
L foot with EDPM Rubber Pad & Tilt-in Module & Socket Head Screw & 1 screw
(TEK SCREW)
For GI Sheet roofs.
Why the rubber pad? For extra sealing, and to avoid galvanic corrosion.
This is made of extruded aluminum – will work with our rails only.
How many to get? Depends on your array and layout. We would typically double
the number of panels in one string, then add 2.
For example:
1 solar panel : 4 L Feet.
2 solar panels: 6 L Feet
3 solar panels: 8 L feet
4 solar panels: 10 L Feet
