Optimum
Orientation of PV
Panels
In the Philippines, the
optimum tilt of the panels
should be approximately equal
to the latitude x 0.87.
The Philippines is located
between the latitude 4deg.N
(Tawi-tawi) to 21deg.N
(Batanes) North of the
Equator.
The NCR is approximately at
14 deg.N, so for Metro Manila,
the optimum tilt of panels is 12
deg., facing South.
GENERAL ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR
POWER
1. It Saves Money Spent on Electricity
2. It can Earn Additional Revenue or Income..
3. It’s an Efficient System (from roof to inside house, no need for
the electricity produced to flow through the HV transmission lines)
4. It’s Non-Polluting (no exhaust smoke, zero carbon foot print)
5. It Can Power Remote Locations (like remote islands, far flung
barrios, mountain side cell sites or relay stations)
6. It’s Renewable or Limitless (the sun is believed to be the
infinite source of all energy in the universe)
7. It’s Noiseless (no combustion, no rotating parts, etc.)
8. There’s Almost No Maintenance Cost (no ball bearings or
bushings to wear or oil or filter to change)
9. It Reduces Dependence on Fossil Fuels
RA 9513 Offers Fiscal & Non-
Fiscal Incentives
(1) Income tax holiday;
(2) Duty-free importation of renewable machinery,
equipment, and materials;
(3) Special realty tax rates;
(4) Net operating loss carry-over;
(5) Corporate tax rate of 10%;
(6) Accelerated depreciation of plant, machinery, and
equipment;
(7) 0% value-added tax rate;
(8) Tax exemption on carbon credits; and
(9) Cash incentive for missionary electrification.
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
APPARENT DISADVANTAGES OF
SOLAR ENERGY
1. High Initial Cost? – although the trend is the cost is
rapidly going down
2. Reduced Reliability? – it is useless during night time
and reduced output when cloudy
3. Large Area Needed? – Large area needed for big
energy users such as manufacturing plants
1. PRICE? BUT WHAT’S THE
PRICE TREND?
We bought a 75-watt solar panel made by BP or British Petroleum in 2009, a
surplus from previous cellsite installations by a contractor, the cost was
PhP19,000.00 per the 75-watt panel (PhP76,000 for a 300watts equivalent).
In 2015, we purchased a 300-watt panel made by SKF of Germany with a
cost of PhP11,000 (Feb 2015) to PhP10,500 (Nov 2015) per the 300-watt
panel.
Recently, this May 2016, we again purchased 300-watt panels made in
Germany with a price of PhP9,900 per the 300-watt panel.
The reduction in cost of PV panels within the 6-year period from 2009 to
2015 is over seven-fold!
Year 2009 2011 2013 2014 Feb 2015 Nov 2015 May 2016
Price P76,000/ - - P14,000/ P11,000/ P10,500/ P9,900/
The increasing demand for PV panels will bring down the cost lower and
lower until each home has its own.
2. REDUCED RELIABILITY? HERE
ARE SOME WAYS TO INCREASE IT
1. On-Grid Use – surplus energy from solar roof tops can
be used by others in the grid.
2. Use of Storage Batteries – adequate storage capacity
ensures 24/7 supply.
3. Combination Use w/ Other RE Sources, i.e. Wind
Mills in windy farms and in tall buildings.
4. Combination Use of Pump-Storage Hydro System,
i.e. Kalayaan Pump Storage Hydro Power Plant
5. Encourage SMEs Powered by Solar- some samples
home based enterprises that can be run from solar rooftops:
ice making, ice-cream making, meat food processing (w/
freezer), electric trike transport service, etc.
Build Storage Battery Plants
Build More Pump-Storage Hydro
Power Plants
Excess solar energy in the grid during daytime from rooftops can be
used to pump water to the upper basin; Reverse process is done at
night time to supply energy to the grid. This facility can double up as
a flood control infrastructure and supports irrigation systems.
Top 16 Philippine Rivers Where to Build
Pump-Storage Hydro P/Ps...
1. Cagayan River, 505km, 2. Rio Grande River (Cotabato), 373km,
3. Agusan River, 350km, 4. Pulangi River (Bukidnon), 320km,
5. Pampanga River, 260km, 6. Agno River (Pangasinan), 206km,

15. Tagoloan (Mis.Or.),105km 16. Bicol River (Camsur), 93km
Encourage Small/Medium Enterprises
(SMEs) Powered by Solar Energy
SOME SAMPLES HOME BASED OR
BACKYARD ENTERPRISES THAT CAN BE
RUN FROM SOLAR ROOFTOPS:
1) ICE MAKING
2) ICE-CREAM MAKING
3) MEAT FOOD PROCESSING (W/ FREEZER)
4) LAUNDRY SERVICES
5) DC WELDING SHOP
6) ELECTRIC TRIKE TRANSPORT SERVICE
7) OTHERS
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
3. ON THE LARGE AREA REQUIRED
Every home roof is a large potential collective area to install
solar panels. If the 100 million population have 21 million
homes in year 2015 (Source: National Statistics Office) and say
10 million homes have at least 1KW solar capacity, this would
be equivalent to 10,000MW capacity. Or if each roof has 2KW
solar capacity, this would be 20,000MW capacity, if each roof
has 3KW, this would be 30,000MW capacity, and so on, at least
during day time.
Also, every warehouse roof, every public market roof,
every parking area roof, every school roof, every church
roof, every covered sports or public assembly building is a
large potential area to expand this system.
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
EVENTUAL EFFECT OF HOME ROOF
SOLAR ENERGY TO THE ECONOMY
1. FREE SUN ENERGYTO
EVERY HOME/ROOF.
2. ANY EXCESS
ENERGY FROM SOLAR
EXPORTED TO THE
GRID.
4. DISTRIBUTION
UTILITIES/ TOLLWAYS
TO LOWER THEIR
CHARGES, TOO.
5. THE COST PER KWHR
OF ELECTRICITY WILL
GO DOWN GRADUALLY.
3. DUE TO THE FREE
ENERGY TO THE GRID,
POWER PLANTS (IPPs)
WILL BE FORCED TO
LOWER THEIR PRICES.
6. MORE INVESTORS
WILL COME TO PUT
UP FACTORIES IN
OUR COUNTRY!

Paralleling of Power Systems
The requirements of paralleling or synchronizing power supply sources are:
1. The incoming line must have SIMILAR VOLTAGE, i.e. 220 volts, as the
normal power supply.
2. The incoming line must have SIMILAR FREQUENCY, i.e. 60 Hertz, as the
normal power supply.
3. The incoming line must have the SIMILAR PHASE SEQUENCE (or rotation)
i.e, (Phase A-B-C or C-B-A), as the normal power supply.
4. The incoming line must have SIMILAR PHASE ANGLE, i.e. zero phase, as the
normal power supply.
Note that requirement No.3 is only required for 3 phase power systems and not
applicable to single phase systems. For single phase Grid-Tie inverters, they have a
built in intelligence to parallel itself to the grid. Off Grid inverters have no
capability of automatic paralleling.
When 2 sources are in parallel, the source that has a slightly higher frequency
setting will deliver its power to the grid. Therefore, Grid Tie inverters are designed
as priority power sources. They have slightly higher frequency settings, i.e. 60.05 to
60.1Hertz or slightly higher.

WHAT TYPE OF BATTERIES IS THE
BEST?
At present, the deep-cycle type, lead-acid batteries are the
most widely used as storage in solar or renewable energy
systems. They are ideally suited for the applications due to
their long, reliable life and low cost. There are many
suppliers/ manufacturers of deep-cycle lead-acid batteries,
it is therefore important to know the technologies, the
performance factors that affect its operation and the life of
the battery.
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
Types of Deep-Cycle Batteries:
Deep-Cycle Valve-Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) Batteries
(Maintenance-Free)
Deep-cycle VRLA batteries, which include AGM and gel
technologies, are designed to eliminate the need for water
addition and can be used and installed in any position.
They are engineered so that oxygen created by the positive
plates during charging can migrate to the negatives plate
where it is reduced to water, significantly reducing water
loss.
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
Factors Affecting Cost of Batteries:
• Price: A cheap battery is always attractive, but if this is
obtained at the expense of quality and battery life, the cost
over time will be high
• Capacity: This is important since its AH is the amount of
energy that can be stored.
• Voltage: The voltage rating should match the input rating
of the inverter to be used in an AC system or the voltage of
the loads in a DC system.
• Brand: Choosing a company that focuses on deep-cycle
technology with a proven track record of manufacturing
deep-cycle batteries is always a good option.
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
Cycle Life - The Most Important
Consideration
The earlier factors are important but the most important
consideration is the cycle life of the battery. It is the
number of times of discharge/charge cycles the battery can
provide before its capacity drops to a specified percentage
of its rated capacity. Various makers may make batteries
with the same capacity, energy content and maybe similar
in weight, but the design, the materials, the process, and
quality influence how long the battery will cycle.
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
Battery Ratings – Longer Warm Ups
The battery nameplate rating in AMPERE-HOURS is the
fully developed battery capacity. It may take up to 100+
cycles of charging-supplying-charging for a battery to
reach its full capacity. Measuring or testing the battery
capacity at the start after purchase could be misleading. A
battery that is touted to have full capacity at the time of
purchase or one that has reached full capacity after only a
few cycles should not be believed. Batteries with a 100+
cycle or longer warm-up would last longer.
Expected Life of Solar Batteries…
• Starting: 3-12 months
• Marine: 1-6 years
• Golf cart: 2-7 years
• AGM (absorbent glass mat) deep cycle: 4-8 years
• Gelled deep cycle: 2-5 years
• Deep cycle (L-16 type): 4-8 years
• Rolls-Surrette premium deep cycle: 7-15 years
• Industrial deep cycle (Crown & Rolls 4KS): 10-20+ years
• Telephone (float): 2-20 years

INSTALLING THE SOLAR POWER SYSTEM
It's best to have a solar contractor which employs a licensed electrical
engineer or a licensed master electrician to install the solar system. When
choosing a contractor, ask yourself the following questions:
•Has the company installed grid-connected PV systems? If not, has it installed
off-grid (or stand-alone) PV systems?
• Experience in installing grid-connected systems is valuable because some
elements of the installation -- particularly interconnection with the local utility—
are unique to these systems. However, a competent company with off-grid PV
experience should not be eliminated just because it has not yet installed grid-
connected PV systems. Experience with off-grid systems is valuable too, because
grid-independent systems are more technically complex than grid-tied systems.
(http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/)
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
• INSTALLING THE SOLAR…
• How many years of experience does the company have
installing PV systems?
• A contractor who has been in business a long time probably
understands how to work with customers and to compete effectively
with other firms. Additionally, this contractor/ installer will probably
be aware of the latest provision of the Philippine Electrical Code
(PEC) and the permitting requirements of the National Building Code
(NBC) regarding the installation of electrical systems including that
for a solar or other renewable energy supply system. All electrical
works including electrical additions, modifications or renovations
require the filing of Electrical Permit with the Office of the Building
Official.
• (http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/)
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
• INSTALLING THE SOLAR…
• Is the company properly licensed or certified?
• PV systems should be installed by an appropriately licensed
contractor. This usually means that either the installer or a
subcontractor has a PRC electrical professional license or a PCAB
license. You can check with the website of the PRC if whether a
person has a valid electrical engineer’s or master electrician's
license, or check with PCAB if a contractor is licensed or not.
In addition to being properly licensed, installers must
demonstrate that they have special knowledge about installing PV
systems. (http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/)
• Special knowledge can be demonstrated through certification by the
solar industry and/or trade associations, eg. SOLARSAFE
PHILIPPINES, MEPF ENGINEERS, etc.
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
• INSTALLING THE SOLAR…
It is always a good idea to get more than one bid for the
installation of your PV system. Make sure that all bids are made on the
same basis. For example, a bid for a system mounted on the ground is
usually very different from another bid for a rooftop system.
Similarly, some PV modules generate more electricity per square
meter than others. Bids should clearly state the maximum generating
capacity of the system -- measured in Watts (W) or kilowatts (kW). If
possible, have the bids specify the system capacity in "AC Watts"
(alternating current) under a standard set of test conditions, or specify
the output of the system at the inverter. Also request an estimate of the
amount of energy that the system will produce on an annual basis
(measured in kilowatt-hours).
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
• INSTALLING THE SOLAR…
Because the amount of energy depends on the amount
of sunlight -- which varies by location, season, and year to
year – it is unlikely that the contractor will quote a specific
figure, but a range of within plus or minus 20% is realistic.
Bids also should include the total cost of getting the PV
system up and running, including hardware, installation,
connection to the grid, permitting, taxes, and warranty.

The warranty is also a very important factor for
evaluating bids. You may require that system be covered
by a one-year or two-year or three-year parts-and-labor
written installation warranty, for example, in addition to
any manufacturers' warranties on specific components
(including inverter and module warranties). The installer
may offer longer warranties. Also ask yourself, "Will this
company stand behind the full-system warranty for the
next two or three years?"

ADEQUATELY SECURE MOUNTING …
It should be emphasized here that when solar systems are to be
installed in areas where the typhoon is usually within the initial path of
super typhoons, eg. along the eastern seaboard of the country, including
the provinces of Samar, Leyte, Biliran, Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela,
Quirino, Aurora, Quezon, Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur,
Albay, Sorsogon, Surigao Del Sur, Surigao Del Norte, Davao Oriental,
among others, structural support and mountings must be certified to be
adequate for 350 KPH winds (as in Super Typhoon Yolanda in November
2013).
Wind load calculations must be made to determine the size of
concrete foundations for PV arrays, as well as the minimum size of
mounting bolts/nuts. A certification of civil/structural engineer maybe
required here.
Optimum
Orientation of PV
Panels
In the Philippines, the
optimum tilt of the panels
should be approximately equal
to the latitude x 0.87.
The Philippines is located
between the latitude 4deg.N
(Tawi-tawi) to 21deg.N
(Batanes) North of the
Equator.
The NCR is approximately at
14 deg.N, so for Metro Manila,

MAINTAINING THE SOLAR SYSTEM
As with any mechanical or electrical appliance, PV systems require
routine, periodic maintenance. System components may also need
repair or replacement from time to time.
An efficient and long-lasting system will depend on a periodic
check of system components and completion of any preventive
maintenance as necessary. Talk with your system installer about
routine and periodic maintenance. In the event of a system
malfunction, effective troubleshooting and repair is necessary.
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
Maintenance of Solar Panels
1.Thoroughly clean the top surfaces of solar PV panels of
dust and/or dirt accumulations. This should be done weekly
in a dusty environment especially during the summer
months, and maybe done monthly or as necessary during
the rainy season. A soft cotton cloth should be used to do
this.
2.Regularly check/ monitor the output voltage of the solar
panels.
3.Check all DC wirings from the panels to the solar
controllers and the respective circuit breakers.
Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
Maintenance of Solar Controllers/Chargers
1.Clean all dust and/or dirt accumulations from controller.
2.Clean all vent openings and ensure that they are free from
obstructions.
3. Check terminals and connections for tightness. Check all
relays, lights, and other indicating devices for proper
operation.
4. If all battery cells consistently read low, check
controller/charger for proper operation. If electrolyte levels
are low, check charger rate settings against the
manufacturer’s specifications. Consistently low levels may
indicate the charge rate is too fast.
Maintenance of Batteries
1. Thoroughly clean all battery surfaces of dust and/or dirt
accumulations.
2. Clean and tighten all terminal connections. Remove any
corrosion on battery terminals with bicarbonate of soda.
3. Clean battery studs and cable ends.
4. On stranded cable, if ends are corroded, cut off ends or
separate strands and clean internally.
5. Check electrolyte levels and specific gravity. Variations
of more than fifty (50) points between cells may indicate a
bad cell.

  • 9. Optimum Orientation of PV Panels In the Philippines, the optimum tilt of the panels should be approximately equal to the latitude x 0.87. The Philippines is located between the latitude 4deg.N (Tawi-tawi) to 21deg.N (Batanes) North of the Equator. The NCR is approximately at 14 deg.N, so for Metro Manila, the optimum tilt of panels is 12 deg., facing South.
  • 10. GENERAL ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR POWER 1. It Saves Money Spent on Electricity 2. It can Earn Additional Revenue or Income.. 3. It’s an Efficient System (from roof to inside house, no need for the electricity produced to flow through the HV transmission lines) 4. It’s Non-Polluting (no exhaust smoke, zero carbon foot print) 5. It Can Power Remote Locations (like remote islands, far flung barrios, mountain side cell sites or relay stations) 6. It’s Renewable or Limitless (the sun is believed to be the infinite source of all energy in the universe) 7. It’s Noiseless (no combustion, no rotating parts, etc.) 8. There’s Almost No Maintenance Cost (no ball bearings or bushings to wear or oil or filter to change) 9. It Reduces Dependence on Fossil Fuels
  • 11. RA 9513 Offers Fiscal & Non- Fiscal Incentives (1) Income tax holiday; (2) Duty-free importation of renewable machinery, equipment, and materials; (3) Special realty tax rates; (4) Net operating loss carry-over; (5) Corporate tax rate of 10%; (6) Accelerated depreciation of plant, machinery, and equipment; (7) 0% value-added tax rate; (8) Tax exemption on carbon credits; and (9) Cash incentive for missionary electrification.
  • 12. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. APPARENT DISADVANTAGES OF SOLAR ENERGY 1. High Initial Cost? – although the trend is the cost is rapidly going down 2. Reduced Reliability? – it is useless during night time and reduced output when cloudy 3. Large Area Needed? – Large area needed for big energy users such as manufacturing plants
  • 13. 1. PRICE? BUT WHAT’S THE PRICE TREND? We bought a 75-watt solar panel made by BP or British Petroleum in 2009, a surplus from previous cellsite installations by a contractor, the cost was PhP19,000.00 per the 75-watt panel (PhP76,000 for a 300watts equivalent). In 2015, we purchased a 300-watt panel made by SKF of Germany with a cost of PhP11,000 (Feb 2015) to PhP10,500 (Nov 2015) per the 300-watt panel. Recently, this May 2016, we again purchased 300-watt panels made in Germany with a price of PhP9,900 per the 300-watt panel. The reduction in cost of PV panels within the 6-year period from 2009 to 2015 is over seven-fold! Year 2009 2011 2013 2014 Feb 2015 Nov 2015 May 2016 Price P76,000/ - - P14,000/ P11,000/ P10,500/ P9,900/ The increasing demand for PV panels will bring down the cost lower and lower until each home has its own.
  • 14. 2. REDUCED RELIABILITY? HERE ARE SOME WAYS TO INCREASE IT 1. On-Grid Use – surplus energy from solar roof tops can be used by others in the grid. 2. Use of Storage Batteries – adequate storage capacity ensures 24/7 supply. 3. Combination Use w/ Other RE Sources, i.e. Wind Mills in windy farms and in tall buildings. 4. Combination Use of Pump-Storage Hydro System, i.e. Kalayaan Pump Storage Hydro Power Plant 5. Encourage SMEs Powered by Solar- some samples home based enterprises that can be run from solar rooftops: ice making, ice-cream making, meat food processing (w/ freezer), electric trike transport service, etc.
  • 16. Build More Pump-Storage Hydro Power Plants Excess solar energy in the grid during daytime from rooftops can be used to pump water to the upper basin; Reverse process is done at night time to supply energy to the grid. This facility can double up as a flood control infrastructure and supports irrigation systems.
  • 17. Top 16 Philippine Rivers Where to Build Pump-Storage Hydro P/Ps... 1. Cagayan River, 505km, 2. Rio Grande River (Cotabato), 373km, 3. Agusan River, 350km, 4. Pulangi River (Bukidnon), 320km, 5. Pampanga River, 260km, 6. Agno River (Pangasinan), 206km, 7. Laoag River, 188km 8. Abra River, 178km 9. Abulog River(Kalinga),175km 10. Chico River(Kalinga),174km 11. Davao River, 160km 12. Magat River(Isabela),149km 13. Jalaur River (Panay), 122km 14. Matalag River (CAR), 114km 15. Tagoloan (Mis.Or.),105km 16. Bicol River (Camsur), 93km
  • 18. Encourage Small/Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Powered by Solar Energy SOME SAMPLES HOME BASED OR BACKYARD ENTERPRISES THAT CAN BE RUN FROM SOLAR ROOFTOPS: 1) ICE MAKING 2) ICE-CREAM MAKING 3) MEAT FOOD PROCESSING (W/ FREEZER) 4) LAUNDRY SERVICES 5) DC WELDING SHOP 6) ELECTRIC TRIKE TRANSPORT SERVICE 7) OTHERS
  • 19. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. 3. ON THE LARGE AREA REQUIRED Every home roof is a large potential collective area to install solar panels. If the 100 million population have 21 million homes in year 2015 (Source: National Statistics Office) and say 10 million homes have at least 1KW solar capacity, this would be equivalent to 10,000MW capacity. Or if each roof has 2KW solar capacity, this would be 20,000MW capacity, if each roof has 3KW, this would be 30,000MW capacity, and so on, at least during day time. Also, every warehouse roof, every public market roof, every parking area roof, every school roof, every church roof, every covered sports or public assembly building is a large potential area to expand this system.
  • 20. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean..
  • 21. EVENTUAL EFFECT OF HOME ROOF SOLAR ENERGY TO THE ECONOMY 1. FREE SUN ENERGYTO EVERY HOME/ROOF. 2. ANY EXCESS ENERGY FROM SOLAR EXPORTED TO THE GRID. 4. DISTRIBUTION UTILITIES/ TOLLWAYS TO LOWER THEIR CHARGES, TOO. 5. THE COST PER KWHR OF ELECTRICITY WILL GO DOWN GRADUALLY. 3.

  • 26. Paralleling of Power Systems The requirements of paralleling or synchronizing power supply sources are: 1. The incoming line must have SIMILAR VOLTAGE, i.e. 220 volts, as the normal power supply. 2. The incoming line must have SIMILAR FREQUENCY, i.e. 60 Hertz, as the normal power supply. 3. The incoming line must have the SIMILAR PHASE SEQUENCE (or rotation) i.e, (Phase A-B-C or C-B-A), as the normal power supply. 4. The incoming line must have SIMILAR PHASE ANGLE, i.e. zero phase, as the normal power supply. Note that requirement No.3 is only required for 3 phase power systems and not applicable to single phase systems. For single phase Grid-Tie inverters, they have a built in intelligence to parallel itself to the grid. Off Grid inverters have no capability of automatic paralleling. When 2 sources are in parallel, the source that has a slightly higher frequency setting will deliver its power to the grid. Therefore, Grid Tie inverters are designed as priority power sources. They have slightly higher frequency settings, i.e. 60.05 to 60.1Hertz or slightly higher.

  • 87. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. WHAT TYPE OF BATTERIES IS THE BEST? At present, the deep-cycle type, lead-acid batteries are the most widely used as storage in solar or renewable energy systems. They are ideally suited for the applications due to their long, reliable life and low cost. There are many suppliers/ manufacturers of deep-cycle lead-acid batteries, it is therefore important to know the technologies, the performance factors that affect its operation and the life of the battery.
  • 88. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. Types of Deep-Cycle Batteries: Deep-Cycle Valve-Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) Batteries (Maintenance-Free) Deep-cycle VRLA batteries, which include AGM and gel technologies, are designed to eliminate the need for water addition and can be used and installed in any position. They are engineered so that oxygen created by the positive plates during charging can migrate to the negatives plate where it is reduced to water, significantly reducing water loss.
  • 89. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. Factors Affecting Cost of Batteries: • Price: A cheap battery is always attractive, but if this is obtained at the expense of quality and battery life, the cost over time will be high • Capacity: This is important since its AH is the amount of energy that can be stored. • Voltage: The voltage rating should match the input rating of the inverter to be used in an AC system or the voltage of the loads in a DC system. • Brand: Choosing a company that focuses on deep-cycle technology with a proven track record of manufacturing deep-cycle batteries is always a good option.
  • 90. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. Cycle Life - The Most Important Consideration The earlier factors are important but the most important consideration is the cycle life of the battery. It is the number of times of discharge/charge cycles the battery can provide before its capacity drops to a specified percentage of its rated capacity. Various makers may make batteries with the same capacity, energy content and maybe similar in weight, but the design, the materials, the process, and quality influence how long the battery will cycle.
  • 91. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. Battery Ratings – Longer Warm Ups The battery nameplate rating in AMPERE-HOURS is the fully developed battery capacity. It may take up to 100+ cycles of charging-supplying-charging for a battery to reach its full capacity. Measuring or testing the battery capacity at the start after purchase could be misleading. A battery that is touted to have full capacity at the time of purchase or one that has reached full capacity after only a few cycles should not be believed. Batteries with a 100+ cycle or longer warm-up would last longer.

  • 95. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. INSTALLING THE SOLAR POWER SYSTEM It's best to have a solar contractor which employs a licensed electrical engineer or a licensed master electrician to install the solar system. When choosing a contractor, ask yourself the following questions: •Has the company installed grid-connected PV systems? If not, has it installed off-grid (or stand-alone) PV systems? • Experience in installing grid-connected systems is valuable because some elements of the installation -- particularly interconnection with the local utility— are unique to these systems. However, a competent company with off-grid PV experience should not be eliminated just because it has not yet installed grid- connected PV systems. Experience with off-grid systems is valuable too, because grid-independent systems are more technically complex than grid-tied systems. (http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/)
  • 96. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. • INSTALLING THE SOLAR… • How many years of experience does the company have installing PV systems? • A contractor who has been in business a long time probably understands how to work with customers and to compete effectively with other firms. Additionally, this contractor/ installer will probably be aware of the latest provision of the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) and the permitting requirements of the National Building Code (NBC) regarding the installation of electrical systems including that for a solar or other renewable energy supply system. All electrical works including electrical additions, modifications or renovations require the filing of Electrical Permit with the Office of the Building Official. • (http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/)
  • 97. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. • INSTALLING THE SOLAR… • Is the company properly licensed or certified? • PV systems should be installed by an appropriately licensed contractor. This usually means that either the installer or a subcontractor has a PRC electrical professional license or a PCAB license. You can check with the website of the PRC if whether a person has a valid electrical engineer’s or master electrician's license, or check with PCAB if a contractor is licensed or not. In addition to being properly licensed, installers must demonstrate that they have special knowledge about installing PV systems. (http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/) • Special knowledge can be demonstrated through certification by the solar industry and/or trade associations, eg. SOLARSAFE PHILIPPINES, MEPF ENGINEERS, etc.
  • 98. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. • INSTALLING THE SOLAR… It is always a good idea to get more than one bid for the installation of your PV system. Make sure that all bids are made on the same basis. For example, a bid for a system mounted on the ground is usually very different from another bid for a rooftop system. Similarly, some PV modules generate more electricity per square meter than others. Bids should clearly state the maximum generating capacity of the system -- measured in Watts (W) or kilowatts (kW). If possible, have the bids specify the system capacity in "AC Watts" (alternating current) under a standard set of test conditions, or specify the output of the system at the inverter. Also request an estimate of the amount of energy that the system will produce on an annual basis (measured in kilowatt-hours).
  • 99. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. • INSTALLING THE SOLAR… Because the amount of energy depends on the amount of sunlight -- which varies by location, season, and year to year – it is unlikely that the contractor will quote a specific figure, but a range of within plus or minus 20% is realistic. Bids also should include the total cost of getting the PV system up and running, including hardware, installation, connection to the grid, permitting, taxes, and warranty. (http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/)
  • 100. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. • INSTALLING THE SOLAR… The warranty is also a very important factor for evaluating bids. You may require that system be covered by a one-year or two-year or three-year parts-and-labor written installation warranty, for example, in addition to any manufacturers' warranties on specific components (including inverter and module warranties). The installer may offer longer warranties. Also ask yourself, "Will this company stand behind the full-system warranty for the next two or three years?"

  • 102. Solar Energy.. Free.. Limitless.. Efficient.. Clean.. ADEQUATELY SECURE MOUNTING … It should be emphasized here that when solar systems are to be installed in areas where the typhoon is usually within the initial path of super typhoons, eg. along the eastern seaboard of the country, including the provinces of Samar, Leyte, Biliran, Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino, Aurora, Quezon, Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon, Surigao Del Sur, Surigao Del Norte, Davao Oriental, among others, structural support and mountings must be certified to be adequate for 350 KPH winds (as in Super Typhoon Yolanda in November 2013). Wind load calculations must be made to determine the size of concrete foundations for PV arrays, as well as the minimum size of mounting bolts/nuts. A certification of civil/structural engineer maybe required here.
  • 103. Optimum Orientation of PV Panels In the Philippines, the optimum tilt of the panels should be approximately equal to the latitude x 0.87. The Philippines is located between the latitude 4deg.N (Tawi-tawi) to 21deg.N (Batanes) North of the Equator. The NCR is approximately at 14 deg.N, so for Metro Manila, the optimum tilt of panels is 12 deg., facing South.
