Installed PV capacity reached 2.3 GW, with 820 MW of solar added in 2024, breaking the previous record of 320 MW of newly installed capacity in 2021. Even so, this was far below the 2 GW of new solar the government has forecast for 2024. Manila’s ambitions were frustrated by project delays.
Various financing options make solar installations more accessible: Specialized loans with favourable terms are available for solar projects. These loans often have lower interest rates and flexible repayment plans. Allow installations with little or no upfront cost, with payments based on energy produced.
The type of solar panels used significantly affects pricing: Known for high efficiency and durability, but tend to be more expensive. They are made from single-crystal silicon and offer high performance in limited space. These panels are more affordable but slightly less efficient than monocrystalline panels.
Exploring available grants and subsidies can significantly reduce the upfront cost of solar systems. The Renewable Energy Act provides tax incentives and rebates, which can reduce overall installation costs. Understanding and utilizing these incentives can enhance the financial viability of solar projects.
