Solar Panel Price List Philippines (2026): Every Size and Component
TL;DR
Installed solar in the Philippines runs roughly ₱45,000-75,000 per kW in 2026, so a 3kW system lands around ₱150,000-250,000, a 5kW around ₱250,000-400,000, and a 10kW around ₱450,000-750,000. Batteries are separate at ₱13,000-23,000 per usable kWh, and a hybrid inverter to charge one adds ₱25,000-150,000.
This is the full price list for residential solar in the Philippines as of 2026: what a complete system costs installed, what each major component adds, and what falls outside the headline number. Every figure here is a range, because installed solar has no sticker price — the same 5kW array can differ by ₱150,000 between two roofs in the same city.
If you want the reasoning behind these numbers rather than the numbers themselves, the cost breakdown guide explains what each peso buys.
Installed price by system size
A grid-tied system, complete: panels, inverter, mounting, wiring, protection, and labour. No battery.
| System size | Installed price | Typical monthly bill it suits |
|---|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₱70,000-110,000 | Under ₱2,000 |
| 2 kW | ₱130,000-175,000 | ₱2,000-4,000 |
| 3 kW | ₱150,000-250,000 | ₱4,000-6,000 |
| 5 kW | ₱250,000-400,000 | ₱6,000-10,000 |
| 6 kW | ₱300,000-450,000 | ₱10,000-13,000 |
| 8 kW | ₱440,000-600,000 | ₱13,000-18,000 |
| 10 kW | ₱450,000-750,000 | ₱17,000-21,000 |
| 12 kW | ₱600,000-900,000 | ₱21,000+ |
Anything above 12kW is a custom job. We don’t extrapolate a price for it — get a real quote.
To match a size to your own bill rather than the column above, the what size system for my bill guide works backwards from your kWh.
Price per watt and per kW
The two figures that make quotes comparable:
| Unit | Range | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Per watt installed | ₱45-80/W | Comparing two quotes of different sizes |
| Per kW installed | ₱45,000-75,000/kW | Sanity-checking a total before you see a quote |
Divide any quote by its wattage. A 5kW system at ₱300,000 is ₱60/W — mid-band, reasonable. The same system at ₱425,000 is ₱85/W and needs explaining. Full method in the price per watt guide.
Battery prices
Storage is priced separately and is almost always the most expensive single addition. Compare on peso per usable kWh, never on sticker price.
| Pack size | Installed price | What it backs up |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5-3 kWh | ₱35,000-70,000 | Lights, fans, router, TV overnight |
| 5 kWh | ₱65,000-115,000 | The above plus a ref through the night |
| 10 kWh | ₱130,000-230,000 | Most of an evening including some aircon |
| 15 kWh+ | ₱195,000-345,000 | Whole-home backup, or off-grid |
That works out to ₱13,000-23,000 per usable kWh installed. Brand-by-brand figures are in the battery roundup, and the battery price guide covers what drives the range.
Inverter prices
A plain grid-tied inverter is already inside the system prices above. You only pay this separately if you want battery storage, because a grid-tied unit cannot charge one.
| Inverter size | Budget-mid tier | Premium tier |
|---|---|---|
| 5 kW | ₱25,000-70,000 | ₱75,000-120,000 |
| 6 kW | ₱30,000-80,000 | ₱90,000-130,000 |
| 8-10 kW | ₱55,000-95,000 | ₱110,000-150,000 |
Budget-mid is Deye, Growatt, Solis and Goodwe. Premium is Huawei, SMA and Sungrow. Detail in the hybrid inverter price guide and the inverter roundup.
What the headline price does not include
- Net-metering application — fees and studies vary by utility. See net metering cost.
- A hybrid inverter, if you add a battery to an existing grid-tied system. This is the cost people miss most often.
- Electrical upgrades your house needs to pass inspection — older panel boards and undersized service entrances are common.
- Roof repair. Panels last 25 years; if the roof under them won’t, fix it first.
How to use this list
Take your monthly bill, find the matching row in the first table, and treat that range as the honest span of real quotes. Then get three itemized quotes and compare them on ₱ per watt, not on the total. A quote inside the band with a clear line-item breakdown beats a cheaper one that lumps everything into a single figure.
Two working numbers to sanity-check against: the cost calculator estimates from your bill, and the payback period guide shows how long the price above takes to earn back at current Meralco rates.
All figures are 2026 ranges for the Philippine market and are reviewed against the rest of the site so the numbers here don’t contradict the numbers there. They are estimates, not quotes.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a solar panel system in the Philippines?
Roughly ₱45,000-75,000 per kW installed in 2026. That puts a 3kW system around ₱150,000-250,000, a 5kW around ₱250,000-400,000, and a 10kW around ₱450,000-750,000. The figure covers panels, inverter, mounting, wiring, protection and labour for a grid-tied system.
Why does this page give ranges instead of one price?
Because no single price is true across installers. Roof type, panel brand, inverter tier, run length and the installer's own margin each move the total by tens of thousands of pesos. A range you can check a quote against is more useful than a number that is wrong for most roofs.
How much is one solar panel in the Philippines?
We do not publish per-panel sticker prices. Marketplace listings for bare panels move week to week and rarely include mounting, wiring, protection or labour, so a per-panel figure tells you very little about what a working system costs. Compare on installed price per watt instead.
What is not included in these prices?
Batteries, a hybrid inverter if your system needs one, net-metering application fees, and any electrical upgrade your house needs to pass inspection. Each is listed separately below.
Is solar cheaper if I buy a bigger system?
Per kW, usually yes. Fixed costs like scaffolding, permits and labour spread across more panels, which is why the per-kW figure drifts toward the lower end of the band as systems get bigger. The total still rises.
How do I check whether a quote is fair?
Divide the total by the system wattage to get price per watt, then compare against the ₱45-80 per watt band. That strips out size differences so two quotes for different system sizes become comparable.
