Disappointment with rooftop solar system in USA

Savings from oil and coal importation

They are expensive and did not get the promised financial benefits,   Did not have the necessary building and electrical permits

We finally made it: our solar panels project in Holy Gardens Calamba was finally installed yesterday November 15 2013

Savings from oil and coal importation



Holy Gardens Calamba City, PHL  |  November 16, 2013.

Our solar panel installation at Holy Gardens Calamba City was finally installed yesterday by the AVG power system after months of waiting.  Reason, the rules of importation of solar panels was changed, there were hullabaloo at the BOC about rotation of collectors and the restraining orders.  We made the downpayment since August to the contractor/importer and we were very much worried.  We have developed other suppliers though

Our installation there is 3 kWp and is to save us about P3,000 a month in electrical power consumption

We intend to have it as show case and a model for installation of renewable cheap energy source for the rest of the HolyGardens Group

Bank of Philippine Islands goes solar

Savings from oil and coal importation


From Philstar - Bank of Phil Islands goes solar

The Bank of Philippine Islands will go into solar energy source for its 400 branches nationwide under a P160 million BOT project with Solarus partner.  Each branch will be equipped with 5 kWp at an average cost of P400,000 each.  It would be first of its kind for a bank in the PHL.  Half of its electrical consumption would be saved from the solar panel installation

Right now BPI has entered into an energy efficiency contract with Cofely and its P71 million investment in a chiller plant has yielded  P1 million a month savings

 Executive Director Florendo Maranan, who also heads the Sustainability office that this is kick off for BPI into green technology.  Other projects include:  LED signage, inverter aircon, rainwater harvesting.

We are glad BPI, a large corporation is into this.  It can exert a lot of influence for people to be aware and embrace green technology.  My experience, is that it takes a lot of doing to convince people to embrace this new technology and to work towards:   lessening power consumption to decrease carbon emission so that there will be less severe climate change

We at Bereavement Providers Inc (also BPI) are working on 1.  a solar panel project in Holy Gardens Greenhills in Calamba City, and LED lighting for three Holy Gardens:  Pangasinan,  Oton, Calamba City.  Holy Angels Memorial Park in Morong has adopted the LED lighting too

Cost of solar panels ex China to fall to $0.42 in 2015?

Savings from oil and coal importation

From Green tech media | by Stephen Lacey | February 4, 2013

What is the current price of  solar panels now? The price is down from $8.00/watt to only $0.90 in 2011.   Jaaf's price is $1.40.  The inverter  and the mounting add to another  $2.l0 per watt.

The price will fall down to $0.42 in 2015  .  It is now at $0.48.  Wow.  The current price (maybe volume is one half of the retail price) The installer and retailer, they make about l00% profit.
