Solar Energy Savings in Metro Manila / NCR

How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills

The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar.

What drives your savings in Metro Manila / NCR

Metro Manila is served by Meralco, which operates the net metering programme for residential solar systems up to 100 kW. Surplus exports earn bill credits. Electricity rates in Metro Manila are among the highest in the Philippines, making self-consumed solar particularly valuable. See the Philippines solar page for national details.

Energy usage & tariffs

Residential energy usage in Metro Manila / NCR typically ranges from 15-30 kWh daily, with 7 kWh being common for a standard household. The average household uses around 7 kWh per day, whilst energy efficient properties may use only half that.

Future-proofing is worth considering: if you plan to add an EV, heat pump, or pool, your energy needs may grow — and sizing your solar system a little larger now can save money later.

Estimated at 75% of the retail grid rate. A battery lets you store daytime solar and export during expensive peak hours, so each exported kWh is typically worth more than a flat feed-in tariff. Real returns depend on your time-of-use tariff and battery efficiency.

Solar system size

A solar system sized at approximately 1.8kW would cover your typical daily energy needs. We recommend sizing between 2.8kW and 3.7kW for optimal results as solar output fluctuates daily and seasonally.

A 2.8 kW system in Metro Manila / NCR generates approximately 12.8 kWh daily on average, with seasonal variation from 4.15 kWh/kW/day in December to 4.92 kWh/kW/day in September.

A 4 kW system in Metro Manila / NCR can generate approximately 6670.0 kWh annually based on local sun conditions.

Battery storage

A solar-only system in Metro Manila / NCR covers about 50% of your energy needs during daylight hours, but without a battery the 50% you use at night still comes from the grid. A 10 kWh battery stores excess daytime solar for evening use — pushing your self-sufficiency from 50% up to around 99% and cutting grid reliance to just 1%.

The best way to see whether a battery makes financial sense for your Metro Manila / NCR home is to model it with your actual usage — try the full Photonik design tool for a personalised estimate.

The sweet spot for most households is 5 – 13 kWh — larger batteries add independence but with diminishing payback, especially where feed-in tariffs are low.
