Solar system prices by size
Installed price ranges by system size, based on typical residential installs nationwide. Your exact quote depends on brand, roof, and installer.
| System size | Estimated installed price |
|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₱70k–110k |
| 2 kW | ₱130k–175k |
| 3 kW | ₱150k–250k |
| 5 kW | ₱250k–400k |
| 6 kW | ₱300k–450k |
| 8 kW | ₱440k–600k |
| 10 kW | ₱450k–750k |
Estimates assume high self-consumption. Under Meralco net metering, exported energy is credited at generation cost only (~₱5–7/kWh), so real savings depend on using power as you generate it. Prices are grid-tied estimates; batteries cost extra.
Three steps. No pressure, no commitment.
This isn’t a sales funnel — it’s a way to see real numbers first, then talk to real installers only if it makes sense for you.
Tell us about your home
Your bill, roof type, and whether you want backup power. Takes under a minute, no commitment at any point.
Get matched with up to 3 vetted local installers
Every installer is vetted for business registration and PH accreditation before we match you — never a random call center.
Compare free quotes, choose or walk away
Review real proposals side by side. Pick one, negotiate, or decide solar isn’t for you right now — no obligation.
The honest picture
No hype — just what actually drives, and limits, your savings.
Electricity rates are among the highest in Southeast Asia
Filipino households pay some of the region’s highest per-kWh rates — a big part of why solar can pay back faster here than in lower-rate markets.
~5.5 peak sun-hours a day, most of the year
The Philippines gets a strong, consistent solar resource year-round, which makes panel output here more predictable than in temperate climates.
Brownouts make backup power worth considering
In areas with frequent outages, a battery-backed system keeps fridges, routers, and lights running. That’s a separate cost from grid-tied solar, and worth asking your matched installers about.
Net metering, honest expectations
Exported power is credited at roughly ₱5–7/kWh — the generation cost, not the retail rate you pay. Most savings come from using your solar directly; realistically expect to cut your bill by around 90%, not 100%.

Frequently asked questions
How much do solar panels cost in the Philippines?
Installed residential systems run from about ₱70,000 for a small 1kW system up to ₱750,000+ for 10kW. A typical grid-tied home setup is ₱150k–250k for 3kW or ₱250k–400k for 5kW. Use the estimator to get a range for your own bill.
What size solar system do I need?
It depends mostly on your average monthly electric bill. Enter it in the estimator and we snap you to the nearest common size, from 1kW to 10kW, so the price range reflects a system installers actually build.
Do solar prices vary by city?
Installed prices are broadly similar nationwide, but how fast solar pays back varies by city because electricity rates and peak sun-hours differ. See your city page below for local utility, sun-hours, and payback.
Are these prices with or without batteries?
These are grid-tied estimates without batteries, which is the cheaper, more common setup that still cuts your daytime bill. A 5kW grid-tied system runs about ₱250k–400k; batteries for brownout backup are a separate cost on top.
What affects the final price?
Your roof type and access, the panel and inverter brand, whether you add batteries, and the installer. The ranges here are typical installed prices; your exact figure comes from an installer quote.
