First Philec Solar Solutions, a unit of Lopez-led First Philippine Electric Corp. (First Philec), will be marketing the country’s first solar technology kit for residential and commercial power users starting the first quarter. Dan Lachica, First Philec president, said the solar kit has a capacity of 1 kilowatt for off-grid and on-grid residential consumers and 10 kW to 30 kW for commercial consumers, depending on the scale of the business.
He said the solar kit for residential customers starts at P200,000. It allows savings of up to 15 percent of the power bills of users. He said the solar kit has a life of 20 years. First Philec is an end-to-end provider of photovoltaic (PV) systems that generate electric power from sunlight. Solar energy is commonly used by the commercial or utility industry as an alternate energy source.
Lachica said the company also intends to sell the technology to off-grid customers or those being covered by the Small Power Utilities Group of the National Power Corp. The kit allows solar panels installed on roofs of homes and buildings to convert the sun’s energy into electrical energy. An inverter converts the DC output of solar panels into AC power that can readily energize appliances.
The system sends excess energy back to a grid. The availability of solar technology to residential owners gives more people the access to a clean, reliable and renewable source of energy, he said.
