Solar Paneling For Homes

Patricia Said:

PHILIPPINES: companies which install solar panels for homes?

We Answered:

Most of the listings on the Net were in the years 2007 and 2008, and so far I found only this Solar Electric Co (SOLARCO) 724 48 12, run by a certain Mr.Puckett.

You might also try the Green Architecture Movement, United Architects of the Philippines, at 53 Scout Rallos, QC 4126364, 3721796, for better info.

Costs may have come down from P70 thou and P60thou that they mentioned in 2007, but I am not sure.

Solar panel manufacturing could still be in the infancy stage, although big players like the Lopez Group and Shell Philippines are already in the field. Home use involves the solar panel plus battery plus inverters, although someone suggests to change some home wiring to 12V rather than go for inverters. There were also suggestions that China made appliances like airconditioning and refrigerators are available, running on solar power.

How is DC converted to AC at solar fields?

We Answered:

They use inverters, just as you would use in a household or commercial solar electric system. Industrial capacity inverters are available in very large sizes.
