Home Solar Basics Our Energy Industry Why Solar Energy? About Andal Solar Why Andal Solar? Our Service Package Blog Meteo Data Calculators Inquiry Referral Program Privacy Policy More The Philippine Energy Sector PHILIPPINE ELECTRICITY PRICES ARE THE HIGHEST IN ASIA! This administration's TRAIN law has imposed an additional excise tax on coal, our country's main energy source and removes the value-added tax (VAT) exemption of the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP), which means that instead of electricity prices going down, it will inevitably go up even further. “Coal is a major fuel source for power generation in the country. Increasing the existing excise tax on coal will only result in higher electricity prices, which will reduce the country’s competitiveness vis-à-vis Asean neighbors,” said Meralco First Vice President and head of Regulatory Management Office, Ivanna de la Peña. How Did We Get in This Situation The real story on how we got in this situation is one of the many examples of how our country's elites have taken advantage of the Filipino people for their personal gain. ​ Everything started with the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. It was even dubbed as the "original sin", which is the reason why our power industry is in the situation that it is today. The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant Philippine government officials have been interested in nuclear energy when the U.S. has given it a nuclear fission reactor. The government then went ahead and established the country's first nuclear program in 1958, which was handled by a new commission, the Philippine Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC). The commission then designed and proposed the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) in the 1960s, which was approved by the Marcos regime (1965 - 1986) in July of 1973. The project was won by Westinghouse Electric and was eventually completed in 1984. ​ The construction of the power plant was filled with controversy from start to finish. Firstly, President Marcos was connected to Westinghouse Electric, which may had a big hand in the company bagging the project. This then caused a large dispute between General Electric and Westinghouse. Lastly, Westinghouse had issues when it comes to following the proper construction protocols during and after construction. These issues that surrounded the BNPP has even led to several criminal lawsuits being filed against Westinghouse. Only two years after the plant's completion, where these issues were known to the public. ​ President Marcos used his power to urge the National Power Co. (the government-owned electric utility) to buy two nuclear reactors from Westinghouse. Westinghouse then used their connections with Marcos to bag the deal. Even though Westinghouse's proposal was already more expensive than all others, their contract still jumped from $650 million for just one reactor to a whopping $2.2 billion. During investigations, pieces of evidence were found that show large amounts of money going to President Marcos. Westinghouse and Marcos dismissed these claims. ​ Another major controversy is why Westinghouse Electric's proposal was chosen over General Electric's even though it has already been known that the National Power Co. was already in talks with General Electric regarding the project before Westinghouse came into the picture. Because of the president's connection with Westinghouse through his friend, Hermino Disini, Westinghouse Electric has easily been able to join the negotiation process as if it were at the same footing with General Electric. In fact, General Electric was even already in the negotiation stage with the government before Westinghouse was able to present its proposal. ​ Also, as mentioned, there were also issues regarding proper construction protocols during and after the construction of the project. Ebasco Services' compliance with safety testing protocols was greatly questioned by Librado Ibe, which is Marcos' top nuclear expert. Instances were bribery were documented by Ibe, as top officials have tried to bribe him to approve the site and give the green light for the construction. After the construction and during the Aquino administration, a consultant from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) named William Albert was hired by the new top officials to inspect the project. Many issues regarding welding, working hours, base plates, pipe hangers, water values, and transmission cables were found, which was all attributed to quality control. These issues were then raised to National Power Co., which was tasked to decide if the plant was operable or not. Cory Aquino Refuses to Use the Power Plant In April 1986, the Chernobyl disaster happened. This was then used as a horror story by anti-nuclear activists in the Philippines at that time to prevent the operation of the BNPP. Since most of these activists were allies of the anti-dictatorship movement, president Aquino followed and ordered to stop the plant's operation. However, there were no plans to replace its 620-megawatt capacity and aid our electricity supply ​ President Aquino followed the advice of her cabinet officials that are pushing for the interests of big businesses and did not seek condonation of the loans from the US that were used to finance the BNPP. Also, US officials have advised her that if she repudiates these loans, the Philippines will be an outcast in the global financial community and that the US would not help in stopping attempts to topple her administration. ​ “Hindi tayo balasusbas sa mga utang natin” Cory said. But it was only 21 years later when our country has fully paid these loans In the end, a total of 120 billion pesos were spent for a power plant that was not even used, even just once. These loans were shouldered through these years by the National Power Corp., which essentially made it bankrupt. Because of this, it was not able to borrow and finance new power plants to meet the growing demand. As the demand for electricity grew to more than the available supply in Cory's administration, the people experienced long hours of power interruptions, which discouraged foreign investments from coming in. Private Companies Enter Our Country's Energy Sector At that time, the NPC had the sole responsibility of building and operating power plants. But since the NPC was still bankrupt from paying the loans for the BNPP and was unable to finance and build new power plants, the next administration had to come up with a solution. President Fidel Ramos then had an idea, and this was to have private companies go into power generation and help increase our supply. ​ It sounds like a good idea, but since the government is desperate to gather investors, our country's corporate elite was able to blackmail Ramos into agreements that would very much favor the investors. This led to the creation of what are called "take-or-pay" arrangements with these big private companies. In these arrangements, the NPC was contractually obligated to pay these new private generators, even if it does not need electricity and does not need to buy from them. ​ These arrangements went smoothly for a while. That is, until the 1997 financial crisis. Our country's economy slowed down, along with the demand for electricity. With the take-or-pay arrangement, however, the NPC was still obligated to pay the private generators for electricity even if it has no use for it. This then gave rise to what is called "stranded costs" for the NPC. By 2010, these stranded costs ballooned to 80 billion pesos. Just after paying off the BNPP debt, the NPC was then again bankrupt. ​ Our neighboring countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and China all have very successful power industries that are controlled by the government. This is also why they have electricity prices that are much lower than ours. Meanwhile, in the Philippines, we have a power industry that serves as a cash cow for many large private businesses. These businesses were supposed to introduce competition and bring down costs. But instead, they connived to raise the prices even more. Indeed, our power industry has been such a profitable business venture that one of the largest business tycoons in South Asia, Anthony Salim, has bought into Meralco, which is our largest electric distribution company. ​ Today, Filipinos have the highest electricity bills in Asia and the fifth most expensive in the world. ​ Source: The Manila Times Article: "High electricity costs root of our backwardness" by Roberto Tiglao, January 9, 2014 WHAT CAN WE DO? The "katipuneros" from the Spanish times famously asked themselves the questions: “Kung hinde tayo kikilos, sinong kikilos? Kung hinde ngayon, kalian pa?”. Now is the perfect time for us to ask ourselves those questions again. Instead of being against the oppressive Spaniards like before, we are now against the corporate elite that are also effectively oppressing us by controlling the power industry, making us suffer from high electricity prices. ​ Before, our enemies have the advantage of being equipped with better weapons. Now, it is the other way around. They have the dirty, 20th century energy source in coal while we have the technology and energy of the future in solar. ​ BE PART OF THE SOLAR ENERGY REVOLUTION TODAY! Why Solar?

Home Solar Basics Our Energy Industry Why Solar Energy? About Andal Solar Why Andal Solar? Our Service Package Blog Meteo Data Calculators Inquiry Referral Program Privacy Policy More Solar Energy System Basics There are two types of solar energy systems: On-Grid Systems On-grid solar energy systems are connected in parallel with the utility grid acting as a backup supply. When the system produces energy in the morning, all of this energy is consumed by the house or building although it may not meet 100% of its energy demand. The deficit is taken from the utility grid. ​ During noontime, the system may produce more energy than the demand. Under a net metering scheme, this excess energy is exported back to the grid. The utility pays for this exported electricity at a fixed price per kWh called the feed-in-tariff. The payment is usually just deducted from that household’s monthly electric bill. During the afternoon, the same thing happens with that in the morning. The house or building consumes the energy that the system produces and imports the deficit from the grid to meet the total demand. In the evening, the system is not producing any energy, so the house or building imports all of its energy demand from the grid. Off-Grid Systems Off-grid solar energy systems are, as its name suggests, off the grid. This means that the house’s or building’s only power supply will be the solar energy system. This is possible through the use of batteries. The system is designed in a way such that in the morning, it produces more than the household’s consumption. The excess energy is used to charge the batteries, which will later be used to meet the nighttime energy demand. Off-grid systems are required to be oversized to account for cloudy/rainy days and for the winter months. This usually makes it, for most of the time, less feasible for sites with an already existing utility supply. Its main advantage, however, is that it can be used to provide electricity on locations that are too far away for the utility grid to reach. Because of the disadvantages of off-grid systems, we always recommend on-grid systems because they are cheaper, have a higher ROI (return of investment), and are easier to operate and maintain. How Can You Save From Your Electric Bills Using a Solar Energy System? The ever-increasing price of basic commodities in our country has forced many of us to take significant measures to save up in any way that we can. However, what many of us still do not know the option of having a solar panel installation to drastically save from your monthly electric bills and protect yourself from further increases in the price of electricity. Solar energy systems convert the readily-available energy from the sun into electricity that can be used by your household. Since the amount of sunlight that is reaching your home at any given point in time varies, it will then need to work in tandem with the electricity grid to meet 100% of your electricity demand. Since our old electric meters are not designed to handle two electricity sources (electric grid and solar), it will need to be replaced with what is called a bi-directional or net meter. You can click on this link to learn more about Meralco’s Net Metering program. Explained simply, a net meter allows you to sell the excess electricity from your solar PV system back to Meralco. Meralco will then consider the total amount of sold electricity as credit, which will be deducted from your monthly electric bill. Basically, this is how you will be able to save from your monthly electric bills using solar panels and a net meter in the Philippines: In the morning, your solar panels will probably produce less energy than your total consumption. All of this energy will be used by your home and the deficit will be taken from the electric grid. This way, you reduce the total electricity that you buy from Meralco. During noontime, your solar panels can produce more energy than your total consumption. When this happens, the excess electricity will be sold back to Meralco. All of your electricity demand will be met by your solar energy system, which means that you don’t need to buy electricity from Meralco anymore. In the afternoon, it will be the same case as in the morning. During the evening, you will then need to buy 100% of your electricity demand from Meralco like you would normally do before having a solar energy system. To sum it up quickly, solar energy systems work like another source of electricity for your home. Because of this, you will reduce your reliance on Meralco by buying less electricity from them. This also means that future rises in the price of electricity will hurt less for you since you are less dependent on them. ​ However, the main benefit of solar energy is not the monthly savings that you can get. Electric consumers in the Philippines basically pays the highest electricity rates in all of Asia because of a corrupted power industry that has been built to take advantage of Filipinos. But now, with solar panels, we can become independent power producers ourselves and generate energy right on the top of our roofs.

Home Solar Basics Our Energy Industry Why Solar Energy? About Andal Solar Why Andal Solar? Our Service Package Blog Meteo Data Calculators Inquiry Referral Program Privacy Policy More Why Andal Solar? TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE Our commitment to technical excellence is rooted in the idea that every Filipino deserves only the best. With lots of solar companies offering sub-par systems and services, we believe that a solar energy revolution will only be successful through the use of high-quality solar panels and solar energy systems. SOLAR PV SIMULATION TOOL Solar PV simulation tools compute the energy production of solar energy systems considering many factors (depending on the complexity of the tool) like the solar energy resources on-site, roof tilt and orientation, type of solar panels and solar inverters used, the string configuration, and many more. Although the energy production of solar energy systems can be calculated using rough calculations involving only limited variables, we at Andal Solar believe that our customers deserve only the most accurate computations to be presented to them. Two of the most popular solar PV simulation software used​ internationally are PVSyst and PVSol. These software consider all factors that affect the energy output of solar/PV systems and only the top solar companies in the Philippines use such software. But in Andal Solar, we take it one step further. ​ As great and accurate the energy yield values that you may get from these, the most important things that we need to know in making the decision of having a solar energy system is how much will we save, and how long until we get back our initial investment or in short, the financial analysis of our investment. ​ There are available software out there that are specifically for doing financial analysis of solar/PV systems like SAM(System Advisor Model). The problem is, their energy yield calculations are not as accurate. ​ So, what did we do? ​ We developed our own solar PV simulation tool, which we call the PVComp. This simulation tool does almost the exact same calculations done by PVSyst and SAM, along with additional features. We were able to make this by studying how each software does their respective calculations and applying the same calculations on an Excel Workbook. ​ Here is a sample output that can be generated on PVComp: The PVComp encompasses 19 spreadsheets that span a total of 70,761 rows of computations to deliver the most accurate energy yield and financial analysis results to our customers in line with our commitment to technical excellence and providing only the best quality of service to our customers. DESIGN AND INSTALLATION STANDARDS Another aspect where we showcase our commitment to technical excellence is in compliance with international standards in the design and installation of solar energy PV systems. The two standards that we comply with are the National Electrical Code (US Standard) and the AS/NZS 5033 (Australia and New Zealand). ​ Compliance with international standards not only assures the customer of having the most efficient solar energy system but also the safest. Note that solar energy systems produce high voltages and currents right on your very roof. This means that improperly designed and installed systems pose serious electric and fire hazards.

Home Solar Basics Our Energy Industry Why Solar Energy? About Andal Solar Why Andal Solar? Our Service Package Blog Meteo Data Calculators Inquiry Referral Program Privacy Policy More Why Solar Energy? Solar energy has been growing exponentially since 1992. And in 2015, it has been able to compete with other conventional sources of energy since grid parity(the situation where an alternative energy source has become as cheap or even cheaper than the power bought from the grid) has already been reached in around 30 countries. Solar energy is now the fastest-growing renewable energy source. Now, in terms of capacity, solar energy has been at par with nuclear energy globally. In 2015, it has reached a global installed capacity of 350GW, while nuclear energy is at 391GW on the same year. In addition, with the current rate that solar energy is growing, it has been predicted that it will overtake the use of fossil fuels by 2050, with most of the globe running on energy produced by the sun. ​ So, without a doubt, solar energy is the energy of the future. But how was it able to achieve this unprecedented growth? It can be attributed to some characteristics of solar energy that gives it an advantage over all other forms of energy sources. These are: 1.) being a readily-available fuel source, 2.) modularity, 3.) continuous drop in cost and 4.) improvements in solar PV technology. Readily Available Fuel Source The real story on how we got in this situation is one of the many examples of how our country's elites have taken advantage of the Filipino people for their personal gain. ​ Everything started with the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. It was even dubbed as the "original sin", which is the reason why our power industry is in the situation that it is today. Modularity Of all other energy sources including wind energy, solar is the only one that ​can be scaled down from utility scale to commercial, residential and even for the use of single appliances or devices like streetlights, calculators, etc. All other energy source can only be produced in large centralized power plants. Unlike solar energy, you can't use coal, nuclear energy or any other source to power your home. Continuous Drop in Cost The cost of other energy sources is driven primarily by the cost of its fuel source. For solar energy, however, ​since the fuel is free, the cost is primarily driven by the costs of solar panels. When solar cells were first invented, their usage was limited to powering space crafts and satellites due to the very high costs. Since then, however, the cost of solar panels has steadily dropped. This is because solar cells are primarily made up of silicon, which is one of the most abundant elements on Earth. This makes the costs of solar panels mostly dependent on the manufacturing techniques and processes used, which improves over time. The design of solar cells itself also improves over time, becoming more efficient and uses fewer materials, which would drive the costs further down. Improvements in Solar PV Technology Over the last ten years, solar panels have seen many improvements in their design and implementation to reduce costs and improve the installation process. Modern panels and rack materials require minimal rewiring or hardware to install and are lighter and easier to manage than the heavy arrays of decades past. With these improvements, most solar panel installations can be done in a single day. ​ The other components in a solar installation have also seen swift development. Microinverters are a new alternative to the traditional inverter. Traditionally, a PV array is only as efficient as the least-efficient panel in the rack, since the inverter converts the current of all panels at once. New microinverters convert the electricity supplied by each panel individually, improving the efficiency of the system considerably. ​ Battery system development slowed after grid connections were standardized, but the technology has seen a new influx of recent interest. Most notable is Tesla’s Powerwall system, which brings home battery systems firmly into the mainstream. Overall, the biggest development in residential solar is the reduced cost. Solar panel manufacturing dropped dramatically in price with the development of LCD TVs—both technologies utilize huge sheets of glass. This development, coupled with China’s rapid expansion in raw material harvesting and manufacturing, has dropped the price low enough to allow almost all homeowners to consider a solar power investment on their roof.
