What this means for solar
At ₱13.1734/kWh, every kWh a rooftop system produces and you use immediately is a kWh you avoid buying from Meralco at that price. That’s the mechanism behind solar savings here: self-consumption avoids the full retail rate, while net metering credits exported power only at the lower generation cost, so a system sized for daytime use pays back faster than one built to export.
