There is a connection between "portable" and "going out". But I understand your particular needs are not for portability but for stability at home.

 

I am going to try and talk to a few companies about installing full solar at our place in Bacong.Planning on being in country over Christmas this year. Any recommendations would be welcome.

 

I used a Freelancer who works for different companies. I send you his number tomorrow, I got the materials myself but he got the Lithium batteries.
If you want to use a company, I would recommend Visayan Solar.

We are looking at Apex Power Solutions right now. They have been in business since 2020, not quite as long a Jeff, but they come highly recommended a couple of construction companies. We will see what they say but initial estimates are 850,000 peso for 13.9 kwp hybrid system with 60kwh Powerwall batteries. One inverter, 4 51.2v 300AH batteries, 24 550w monocrystalline panels.

 

How much is your electricity bill each month?
I'm trying to scale my needs based on your system..
Thanks

 

That seems quite expensive. I was quoted P485k for 15.4kW hybrid with 2 x 8kW inverters, 28 550W monocrytalline panels, inc all cable, clips, wiring, plans, installation + 20 yrs warranty on the panels and 5 years on everything else inc. the workmanship etc. If you add a powerwall at about P100k then I would expect around P600k total, The company is Philippine owned but run by her UK husband - who is fully qualified.

 

Did everyone suffer the brown/black 0ut today - with very little warning?

Off from 5 am to 7.30 pm! WTF.

Now that it is back our PLDT is not working - seems a coincidence and I suspect it is not. Back on 11th March their phone service says.

Big Business - come to the Philippines. All is well.

 

That's a large solar power plant.

 

My PLDT stopped working around 9 am then came back on the next morning. I missed streaming my football, thanks to PLDT.
Plenty of solar power.
