Why the Philippines Needs Solar Solutions Urgently?
As Southeast Asia accelerates its energy transition, the Philippines stands out as a key market for renewable energy growth. Yet, the country faces two critical challenges:
- High Dependence on Fossil Fuels: According to Ember, 62% of the Philippines' electricity in 2024 comes from imported coal and oil, resulting in Southeast Asia’s highest electricity prices—$0.19–$0.25/kWh.
- Unstable Grid Infrastructure: The archipelagic geography and frequent typhoons disrupt inter-island power transmission, leaving businesses vulnerable to outages and inconsistent power supply.
For enterprises, these issues mean soaring energy costs and operational risks. A sustainable solution is no longer optional—it’s essential.
[Project Background]
A gas station owner in the Philippines sought a solar system to:
meet 100 kWh/day of daily electricity demand,
store 40 kWh for nighttime use and grid outages.
Reduce reliance on expensive grid power while ensuring 24/7 reliability.
[UE Solution]
After confirmation with our engineers, the customer finally installed 2 sets of 10kW On-grid solar systems (not connected to batteries) and a set of 12kW Hybrid solar systems (connected to 43kWh batteries) for his gas station.
Combines Tier-1 brand Trina 615W solar panels, hot-selling Solis inverters, and 43kWh lithium battery storage. Ensuring that solar energy powers the gas station during the day, while excess energy is stored for use at night or during power outages.

[How It Works]
Daytime: Solar panels generate up to 150 kWh/day, powering the gas station directly.
Excess Energy: Unused electricity is stored in the 43kWh battery for nighttime operations or outages.
Grid Interaction: On-grid and hybrid inverters feed surplus energy to the grid (where permitted), maximizing ROI.
[Technology Support]
Technical Support & Installation Advantages
✅ 1-on-1 Design Service: Engineers analyze local solar irradiance (via Google Maps) and roof dimensions to optimize panel angles and layout.
✅ Easy Installation: Detailed user manuals and online guidance from our technical team ensure smooth setup.
✅ 24/7 After-Sales Support: Remote troubleshooting, training sessions, and quick response to technical queries.
[Cost saving]
Customers have reported that the system can now provide about 150kWh of electricity every day.
Daily Output: 150 kWh (exceeding the 100 kWh demand).
Monthly Savings: USD0.2/kWh * 100 kWh * 30 days = USD600
Annual Savings: USD7,200, with payback within 3 years, ROI 33.3%.
Long-Term Value: 30-year panel lifespan and 10+ years of battery performance ensure decades of stable, low-cost energy.
[Conclusion]
The 32kW solar energy system deployed in the Philippine gas station isn’t just a cost-cutting measure—it’s a strategic investment in operational resilience, long-term savings, and sustainable growth. By harnessing the sun’s energy, businesses can defy rising costs and outlast grid instability.
