A lot of changes in the solar energy landscape

Savings from oil and coal importation

1.  Decline in costs from P100,000/kw down t just almost P50,000 kw

2.  More suppliers, more reliable components

3.  More friendly regulations on rooftop installations.  

But dont attempt net metering.   Really they would require that because of variances in specs of suppliers, the well being of the grid could be put at risk.

We are achieving a lot of success.  Landbank, SSS are offering rooftop solar financing.... More suppliers, More agree on the benefits of solar panels

Downsides:   fires, disposal of old expired panels, just 5 years life of storage, batteries.

Savings from oil and coal importation

1.  Estimating the power requirements.     and compatibility and availablility of matching inverters and controllers

2.  Money traps -  spending nearly a million to save thousands

3. Peak power production is when the homeowner is at the office

Advantages:  

1.  Saving on power costs;

2.  No brown out, advantages  for wfh guys....

But generally the advantages outweigh the downsides.  

ERC case vs Rep Leandro Leviste

Savings from oil and coal importation

Many know that these cases are meant to silence and stall him from his privilege speeches on corruption claims vs some kababayan in Batangas.   But we know that what is being charged vs his company and his person have impact on renewable energy. 

By obtaining the right to grant franchise to companies wishing to provide in RE (and of course having a cut in the business) he has like all other powers that be (whom he is attacking) will dominate the small players.   And he hasnt delivered as well to help solve the thin power reserve the country has.  

If only he was consistent and would have delivered....
