With over 7,000 islands and year-round sunshine, the Philippines should be leading the way in solar energy.

‍

Yet, we still haven't seized the opportunity to lower–or even eliminate–monthly electricity bills and reduce our carbon footprint. In 2024, Ember Energy reported that the country relies heavily on fossil fuels, contributing to 79% of its energy mix. The result: a nation vulnerable to price hikes, power shortages amid rising temperatures, and unmet increasing demand— with over one million still living off the grid.

Residential solar holds enormous potential for Filipino households looking to take control of their energy needs. But while the benefits  clear, the path to large-scale adoption hasn’t been easy.

Solving the Challenges To Solar Panel Adoption

Switching away from centralized power grids isn’t simple, but a study conducted by the Ateneo De Manila University notes that homeowners are ready for the change. But not with a few roadblocks.

The study shows a collective awareness of how switching to solar significantly reduces our carbon footprint, but dealing with hefty upfront costs has become one of Filipino homeowners' main concerns in solar adoption. Additionally, homeowners still lack trust in current solar providers, the quality and longevity of solar panel systems, and the installation process.

The Philippines isn't alone. For countries still on their way to solar adoption, financial barriers and consumer awareness remain the leading challenges when it comes to realizing the full potential of rooftop solar panels as a better choice for powering homes.

These show one thing: the task isn't easy. The switch to solar requires breaking barriers. It takes people who understand what can make the transition easier— and where to start— to change the tides.

Enter Solviva Energy.

Solviva Energy: Making The Switch To Solar Easier

Solviva Energy is redefining how Filipinos see and experience residential solar panels. Championing affordability, reliability, and expertise to revolutionize how we power homes, Solviva Energy offers the easiest way for Filipinos to own top-quality, reliable solar panels through their Rent-To-Own Solar. 

It doesn't stop there.

Solviva Energy prides itself in breaking the common notions about home solar installations  by providing customers:

• Zero Upfront Costs: Start saving as soon as your first month with solar with fixed monthly payments for top-quality solar panels.
• Long-Term Savings: Get up to 30 years on product warranties and save on electric bills for decades.
• Hassle-Free Installations: Let our experts take care of the whole process— from customizing your system to after-sales care.

With the belief that every Filipino home should feel empowered— not anxious by the next bill after spending too long in air conditioning, or left in the dark after weeks without electricity– Solviva Energy's model gives homeowners the power to be energy-independent but also a way to seize it. 

And seize it with ease and peace of mind.  But how? 

From Burden to Breakthrough: Making Solar Truly Accessible

Every Filipino dreams of a comfortable home. With a unique set of motivations–often centered around family–it’s natural for homeowners to seek ways to improve life at home.

And that dream goes far beyond material possessions.

It’s about using appliances that save time so you can spend more of it with loved ones. It’s about sleeping soundly through the night and waking up energized. It’s about not having to worry whether the next monthly electricity bill will spike, or if the lights will go out the moment a storm rolls in.

Powering homes with solar makes all of that possible.

But for years, solar was a ‘maybe’–something found at the bottom of the priority list. Installing solar panels meant shouldering a huge upfront cost. It meant saving for years just to see a difference in your electricity bill.

Solviva Energy changes that. By turning one big expense into smaller, manageable monthly payments, Filipino families can finally redirect what used to go to high electricity bills into something they can truly own: a solar power system that not only lowers costs, but breaks the limits set by traditional power providers.

By removing the burden of upfront payments, Solviva makes solar truly within reach for everyday households–so they no longer have to choose between comfort or savings. Now, they can have both.

Bridging The Knowledge Gap on Solar

The power of the sun is abundant and solar technology is at its highest efficiency since it was first introduced in the 1950s. Despite this, many Filipino homeowners still haven’t tapped into solar as a way to lower electricity costs and gain energy security. 

High upfront costs for solar is one to blame, but a deeper root issue must be addressed if we’re to decentralize energy completely.

It’s solar knowledge. 

Solviva Energy understands that challenging is no easy feat. For decades, we’ve accepted that electricity comes from distant power plants, and transmitted through power lines that crowd our skies. For a lot of homeowners, to switch to solar is to switch beliefs. Choosing solar means questioning what we've always known—and replacing it with something better.

That is precisely why beyond providing flexible, more attainable ways to own solar, Solviva Energy doubles down on making solar knowledge accessible– not a well-kept secret, or fine print. 

From the technology behind each panel to the custom systems designed by our engineers, Solviva provides homeowners with clear, honest information at every step. With expert guidance throughout the process, clients don’t just get a system–they gain the confidence to trust it.

Solviva hosts regular discovery sessions online, open to everyone– from those wondering how solar works to those who want to know how to get started– to reduce friction between the future of energy and those who have the power to drive it forward.

A Step Towards Decentralized Energy

Solviva Energy embodies what the journey of decentralizing energy in the Philippines must look like. 

They know that it starts with the people.

They know that it starts at home. It’s where individuals fulfill most of their needs– where they recharge, connect, and even work. 

The Philippines consists of more than 26 million households. That’s millions paying for the second most expensive electricity in Southeast Asia while it remains unreliable, unstable, and for some homes, unattainable. Imagine the huge burden lifted off every person’s shoulders when comfort is a default, not a choice– where extra hours to cool ourselves in the middle of a heatwave doesn’t feel like a financial risk. 

Solviva aims to make solar a way out– and a way in–for Filipinos. Out of having to rearrange our lives in pursuit of lowering the next monthly bill. A way in changing the landscape of energy, one rooftop at a time.  By making solar more accessible, Solviva puts the global transition to decentralized energy in motion– giving it to those who could create the biggest impact.

The mission goes beyond making solar attainable and reducing our carbon footprint. It's about creating lasting change—empowering communities to take control of their own energy, boosting local economies, and strengthening the resilience of the Philippines in the face of climate challenges. 

Solviva Energy is at the heart of an energy revolution– one that starts from the most basic, yet most essential units of society.
