What Affects the Price

1. System size (kW)

The more power you need, the more panels and larger inverters required. Economies of scale often make larger systems cheaper per kW.

2. Panel brand and quality

Tier 1 brands like Jinko, LONGi, or Canadian Solar cost more but offer better 25-year performance guarantees.

3. Inverter type

String inverters are cost-effective, while Hybrid inverters (battery-ready) add ₱30k-₱60k to the total cost.

4. Roof type

Standard G.I. sheets are easiest. Tiled roofs or high-rise installations require specialized mounting and safety gear.
