Energy Usage
Residential energy usage in Metro Manila / NCR typically ranges from 15-30 kWh daily, with 7 kWh being common for a standard household. With electricity prices trending upward, even small reductions in your 7 kWh daily consumption can noticeably lower your bills — and solar takes this further by offsetting much of what you do use.
Running dishwashers, EV chargers, and pool pumps during solar hours can make a big difference — shifting usage to match generation is one of the easiest ways to reduce your bills.
Typical energy usage per person per day in Metro Manila / NCR:
Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.
Solar System Sizing
Based on 7 kWh daily usage, a 1.8kW system is a good starting point for Metro Manila / NCR — though many homeowners choose to install slightly more. We recommend sizing between 2.8kW and 3.7kW for optimal results as solar output fluctuates daily and seasonally.
In Metro Manila / NCR, a 2.8 kW installation produces around 12.8 kWh per day on average, though output ranges from 4.15 kWh/kW/day during December to 4.92 kWh/kW/day in September.
Solar & Energy Savings
Calculate Heat Pump & EV Savings
Electrify your home by replacing gas heating, petrol vehicles, and other fossil fuel appliances with electric alternatives powered by clean solar energy. This delivers significant additional financial savings and substantial carbon emission reductions. Our calculator helps you compare costs and model the financial impact of switching to electric appliances and vehicles.
How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills
The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar. Your Old Bill of - per month (- annually) is calculated from your total energy consumption multiplied by the grid electricity rate. Your New Bill of - per month (- annually) accounts for solar generation, the percentage you use directly (self-consumption), remaining grid consumption, and feed-in credits for excess energy exported to the grid. This results in monthly savings of - (- annually).
Battery Storage Metro Manila / NCR
Solar Battery Sizing
At around 50% self-sufficiency without a battery, you're still buying 50% of your electricity from the grid — mostly in the evenings and overnight when solar isn't generating. The jump from 50% to 99% self-sufficiency with a 10 kWh battery is most noticeable on your evening electricity bills, when rates are often highest.
