Energy Usage

To choose the right solar system in Bacolod, start by understanding your daily electricity consumption. If your usage is above 7 kWh per day, switching to efficient appliances, smart hot water, or a pool pump timer can bring you closer to efficient-home levels.

Before installing solar it is often a good investment to first look to reduce your energy consumption where possible. This can be done through improved insulation, and energy efficient appliances.

Typical energy usage per person per day in Bacolod:

Low (Efficient)
~4 kWh
Medium (average)
~6 kWh
High (intensive)
~9+ kWh

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 Bacolod — though many homeowners choose to install slightly more. Going larger within the 2.8kW to 3.7kW range typically improves long-term value, since solar panels produce well for 25 years or more.

The seasonal spread from 4.24 kWh/kW/day in December to 4.93 kWh/kW/day in September is normal for Bacolod — good system sizing accounts for this variation.

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 Bacolod


Solar Battery Sizing

A 2.8 kW solar system without battery storage achieves around 50% self-sufficiency in Bacolod, with 50% still coming from the grid. A 10 kWh battery makes the most difference in winter when daylight hours are shorter — helping maintain closer to 99% self-sufficiency year-round rather than just in summer.

To get precise battery savings and payback figures, use the complete Photonik design platform.

lightbulb A 0kWh battery will make you about 0% self sufficient.

The sweet spot for most households is 5 – 13 kWh — larger batteries add independence but with diminishing payback, especially where feed-in tariffs are low.
