Solar wiring should always be done by a licensed electrician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the main parts of a solar setup in the Philippines?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A solar setup in the Philippines needs four main components: solar panels, a hybrid inverter, a lithium battery, and PV cables with MC4 connectors. Each component does a different job, and all four must be sized to work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a solar distributor that sizes systems for Philippine homes every day, we see the same mistake often: buyers focus on panels and treat the inverter and battery as an afterthought. In practice, the inverter and battery decide how much of your home stays powered during a brownout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Component<\/th><th>What it does<\/th><th>Cybotix Philippines range<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Solar panels<\/td><td>Turn sunlight into DC electricity<\/td><td>590W, 620W, 640W and 720W TOPCon panels<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hybrid inverter<\/td><td>Converts DC to AC and manages solar, battery and grid power<\/td><td>1.2kW, 3.6kW, 6.2kW Wi-Fi and 12kW Wi-Fi<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lithium battery<\/td><td>Stores energy for nights and brownouts<\/td><td>1.28kWh to 30.7kWh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PV cable and MC4 connectors<\/td><td>Connect panels to each other and to the inverter<\/td><td>6mm PV cable with MC4 connectors (10 pairs)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>All-in-one system<\/td><td>Inverter and battery combined in one cabinet<\/td><td>3.6kW\/5kWh to 12kW\/32kWh<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do solar panels do in a solar setup?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. They are the only part of the system that generates power, so the total wattage of your panels sets how much energy your system can produce each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a TOPCon solar panel?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) solar panel uses cells with an extra ultra-thin oxide layer that reduces energy losses inside the cell. In practical terms, TOPCon technology allows a single panel to reach higher wattages, which is why all <a href=\"https:\/\/cybotix.ph\/?product_cat=solar-panels\">Cybotix TOPCon solar panels<\/a> are rated between 590W and 720W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which panel wattage should I choose: 590W, 620W, 640W or 720W?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose the highest panel wattage that fits your roof layout, because higher-wattage panels reach your target system size with fewer panels. The table below shows how many panels each wattage needs for common system sizes, rounded up to the nearest whole panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Target array size<\/th><th>590W panels<\/th><th>620W panels<\/th><th>640W panels<\/th><th>720W panels<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>3kW<\/td><td>6 panels (3.54kW)<\/td><td>5 panels (3.10kW)<\/td><td>5 panels (3.20kW)<\/td><td>5 panels (3.60kW)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6kW<\/td><td>11 panels (6.49kW)<\/td><td>10 panels (6.20kW)<\/td><td>10 panels (6.40kW)<\/td><td>9 panels (6.48kW)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>12kW<\/td><td>21 panels (12.39kW)<\/td><td>20 panels (12.40kW)<\/td><td>19 panels (12.16kW)<\/td><td>17 panels (12.24kW)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fewer panels also means fewer mounting points, fewer MC4 connections and less installation labour. Your installer will confirm the final layout based on your roof size, direction and shading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do Philippine heat and typhoons affect solar panels?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solar panels lose some output when they get very hot, so panels on Philippine rooftops produce less at midday in the dry season than their rated wattage suggests. Typhoons are a bigger concern for the mounting than for the panels themselves, which is why the racking, anchoring and roof structure must be designed for strong winds by your installer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaving a gap between the panels and the roof helps air flow underneath and keeps panels cooler. A licensed electrician or solar installer should check that your roof can carry the panel weight and wind load before installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a hybrid inverter do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hybrid inverter converts the DC power from your solar panels and battery into the AC power your appliances use. It also decides, second by second, whether your home runs on solar, battery or grid power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a hybrid inverter?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hybrid inverter is a single unit that combines a solar inverter, a battery charger and a grid connection controller. During the day, a hybrid inverter powers your home from solar and sends extra energy to the battery. At night or during a brownout, it draws from the battery. When the battery runs low, it switches to grid power from Meralco or your electric cooperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does MPPT mean on an inverter spec sheet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) is the technology inside the inverter that constantly adjusts how it draws power from your panels so it collects the most energy possible. The MPPT range is the voltage window your panel string must fall within. For example, the 6.2kW hybrid inverter has a 90\u2013500V MPPT range, so your installer will wire the panels in a string whose voltage stays inside that window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which hybrid inverter size do I need?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a hybrid inverter rated above the total wattage of the appliances you run at the same time. Inverter size in kilowatts (kW) sets how much load you can power at once, while battery size sets how long you can power it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Hybrid inverter<\/th><th>Battery voltage<\/th><th>MPPT range<\/th><th>Typical use<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1.2kW<\/td><td>12V<\/td><td>18\u2013100V<\/td><td>Lights, fans, Wi-Fi router, small TV, small stores<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3.6kW<\/td><td>24V<\/td><td>40\u2013450V<\/td><td>Small homes with a refrigerator, fans and TV<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6.2kW with Wi-Fi<\/td><td>48V<\/td><td>90\u2013500V<\/td><td>Average family homes, including inverter aircon use<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>12kW with Wi-Fi<\/td><td>48V<\/td><td>Two inputs, 90\u2013500V each<\/td><td>Large homes and small businesses with several aircons<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Browse the full range of <a href=\"https:\/\/cybotix.ph\/?product_cat=solar-hybrid-inverter\">Cybotix hybrid inverters<\/a> to compare models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Wi-Fi monitoring worth it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wi-Fi monitoring is worth it for most homeowners because it shows your solar output, battery level and grid use on your phone. The 6.2kW and 12kW hybrid inverters include Wi-Fi, which makes it easier to spot problems early and see how much power your system is actually producing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need a lithium battery for solar in the Philippines?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need a battery if you want solar power at night or during brownouts. Without a battery, a solar system only helps while the sun is shining, and many systems without storage shut down during a grid outage for safety reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do kWh and Ah mean on a lithium battery?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kilowatt-hours (kWh) measure how much energy a battery can store, and this is the number to compare between batteries. Amp-hours (Ah) measure charge capacity at a specific voltage. Multiply voltage by amp-hours to get watt-hours: a 51.2V 200Ah lithium battery stores 51.2 \u00d7 200 = 10,240Wh, or 10.24kWh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much battery capacity do I need for brownouts?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Divide the energy you need during a brownout or overnight by the usable capacity of the battery. The table below assumes 80% of the rated capacity is used, which is a conservative planning figure, and does not include small inverter losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Lithium battery<\/th><th>Usable energy (80%)<\/th><th>Runtime at 300W (lights, fans, router, TV)<\/th><th>Runtime at 1,000W (adds refrigerator and more)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1.28kWh, 12V 100Ah<\/td><td>1.02kWh<\/td><td>About 3.4 hours<\/td><td>About 1 hour<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2.4kWh, 12V 200Ah<\/td><td>1.92kWh<\/td><td>About 6.4 hours<\/td><td>About 1.9 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5.12kWh, 51.2V 100Ah<\/td><td>4.10kWh<\/td><td>About 13.7 hours<\/td><td>About 4.1 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10.24kWh, 51.2V 200Ah<\/td><td>8.19kWh<\/td><td>About 27 hours<\/td><td>About 8.2 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>16kWh, 51.2V 314Ah<\/td><td>12.8kWh<\/td><td>About 42 hours<\/td><td>About 12.8 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>30.7kWh, 51.2V 600Ah<\/td><td>24.56kWh<\/td><td>About 82 hours<\/td><td>About 24.6 hours<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See every capacity in the <a href=\"https:\/\/cybotix.ph\/?product_cat=solar-lithium-batteries\">Cybotix solar lithium battery range<\/a>, including the 10.24kWh compact model and the 16.07kWh 314Ah battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why must battery voltage match the inverter?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A battery must match the battery voltage the inverter is designed for, or the system will not work safely. A 12V hybrid inverter needs a 12V battery, and a 48V hybrid inverter needs a 48V-class battery such as a 51.2V lithium battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Hybrid inverter<\/th><th>Matching Cybotix lithium batteries<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1.2kW (12V)<\/td><td>1.28kWh 12V 100Ah, 2.4kWh 12V 200Ah<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6.2kW and 12kW (48V)<\/td><td>5.12kWh, 10.24kWh (standard and compact), 16kWh and 30.7kWh 51.2V batteries, and the 16.07kWh battery (40\u201360V DC operating range)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 3.6kW hybrid inverter uses a 24V battery bank. If you want a ready-matched 3.6kW system with storage, the 3.6kW all-in-one units with 5kWh or 8kWh of built-in storage are the simpler choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What cables and connectors does a solar setup need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A solar setup needs PV cable and MC4 connectors to carry DC power from the panels to the inverter. Ordinary house wire is not designed for this job and should never be used on the DC side of a solar system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PV cable is built to carry DC current and to withstand years of direct sun on a rooftop. An MC4 connector is the standard weatherproof plug used to join solar panels together and to connect the panel string to the inverter. Cybotix supplies 6mm PV cable with MC4 connectors in a set of 10 pairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Undersized or poor-quality cable wastes power as heat and can become a fire risk. Cable and connectors are a small part of the total cost, but they protect every other component in the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What else does a licensed electrician add during installation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A licensed electrician supplies and installs the mounting, protection and safety components that complete your solar setup. Cybotix Philippines is a solar distributor, not an installer, so we always recommend hiring a licensed local electrician for wiring and mounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A typical installation follows these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Site check:<\/strong> the electrician reviews your roof, shading, main panel board and appliance list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mounting:<\/strong> rails and brackets are anchored to the roof structure and designed for typhoon winds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DC wiring:<\/strong> panels are connected in strings using PV cable and MC4 connectors, with DC breakers or an isolator between the panels and the inverter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inverter and battery placement:<\/strong> the hybrid inverter and lithium battery are mounted in a shaded, dry, well-ventilated spot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AC wiring and protection:<\/strong> AC breakers, surge protection and grounding are installed between the inverter and your panel board.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Permits and inspection:<\/strong> the electrician handles the electrical permit and inspection required by your local government unit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Commissioning:<\/strong> the system is switched on, tested and configured, including the Wi-Fi monitoring app where available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I buy separate components or an all-in-one solar system?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buy an all-in-one system if you want a pre-matched inverter and battery with simpler installation. Buy separate components if you want to choose each part yourself or plan to expand battery storage in stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An all-in-one solar system is a single cabinet that combines a hybrid inverter and lithium battery storage. You only add solar panels and cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Factor<\/th><th>Separate components<\/th><th>All-in-one system<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Component matching<\/td><td>You or your installer must match voltage and capacity<\/td><td>Inverter and battery are already matched<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flexibility<\/td><td>Mix any compatible inverter and battery size<\/td><td>Fixed combinations<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wall space<\/td><td>Two or more separate units<\/td><td>One cabinet<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Installation<\/td><td>More wiring between inverter and battery<\/td><td>Fewer connections to make<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Available sizes<\/td><td>1.2kW to 12kW inverters, 1.28kWh to 30.7kWh batteries<\/td><td>3.6kW\/5kWh, 3.6kW\/8kWh, 5kW\/8kWh, 6kW\/10kWh, 6kW\/16kWh, 12kW\/16kWh, 12kW\/32kWh<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compare every size in the <a href=\"https:\/\/cybotix.ph\/?product_cat=all-in-one-inverter-with-battery\">Cybotix all-in-one inverter with battery range<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I size a complete solar setup for a Filipino home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Size a solar setup in three steps: estimate your daily energy use in kWh, size the panels to produce that energy, then size the inverter for your peak load and the battery for your night-time use. The worked example below shows the math for a typical family home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Worked example: a home using 10kWh per day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This example household runs a refrigerator, electric fans, LED lights, a TV, a Wi-Fi router and a 1HP inverter aircon for a few hours each evening. Its total use is 10kWh per day, and about 5kWh of that is used between sunset and sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Panel size:<\/strong> using a planning assumption of 4 peak sun hours per day, 10kWh \u00f7 4 hours = 2.5kW. Adding 25% to cover heat, wiring and conversion losses gives 2.5kW \u00d7 1.25 = about 3.1kW of panels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Panel count:<\/strong> 3.1kW \u00f7 0.62kW = 5 panels. Five 620W TOPCon solar panels give a 3.10kW array.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inverter size:<\/strong> the highest load at one time, with the aircon, refrigerator, fans and TV running together, is under 2.5kW. A 6kW-class inverter covers this with room to add a second aircon later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Battery size:<\/strong> 5kWh of night-time use \u00f7 0.8 usable = 6.25kWh minimum. A 10.24kWh 51.2V lithium battery covers the night with reserve for brownouts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Matched system:<\/strong> five 620W panels plus a 6kW\/10kWh all-in-one system, or five 620W panels plus a 6.2kW hybrid inverter and a 10.24kWh 51.2V lithium battery.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peak sun hours vary by location and season, so your installer should confirm the figures for your area. If you send us your appliance list, our team will run this calculation for your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a hybrid solar setup be used with net metering?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hybrid solar setup can generally be used with net metering if your installation meets your distribution utility&#8217;s interconnection requirements. Net metering is a program under the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 (RA 9513) that lets you export surplus solar electricity to the grid in exchange for credits on your bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Department of Energy (DOE), net metering is available only on on-grid distribution systems and covers renewable energy systems up to 100kW. The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) sets the interconnection standards. Before you buy, ask Meralco or your electric cooperative what they require, and read the <a href=\"https:\/\/doe.gov.ph\/node\/3836\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DOE Net-Metering Reference Guide<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/doe.gov.ph\/node\/3837\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DOE net-metering FAQs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Complete solar setup checklist for Philippine homes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use this checklist before you request a quotation or compare installer quotes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>List every appliance you want to run, with its wattage and hours of use per day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mark which appliances must stay on during brownouts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check your roof space, direction and shading at different times of day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a panel wattage and count the panels needed for your daily kWh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a hybrid inverter rated above your highest simultaneous load.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a lithium battery that matches the inverter&#8217;s battery voltage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include PV cable, MC4 connectors, breakers, surge protection and grounding in the quote.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the roof mounting is designed for typhoon winds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hire a licensed electrician and confirm who handles permits and inspection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want net metering, check your distribution utility&#8217;s requirements first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I install solar panels without a battery?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can install solar panels without a battery, but the system will only power your home while the sun is shining. Without a battery, you cannot use solar power at night, and many systems without storage shut down during a brownout for safety. A hybrid inverter lets you add a lithium battery later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can solar panels run during a brownout?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solar panels can keep your home running during a brownout if the system has a hybrid inverter and a battery. The hybrid inverter switches to solar and battery power when the grid goes down. How long the backup lasts depends on battery capacity and how many appliances are running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many solar panels do I need for a 6kW inverter?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 6kW system typically uses about 6kW of solar panels, which is ten 620W panels (6.20kW) or nine 720W panels (6.48kW). The final count depends on your daily energy use, roof space and the inverter&#8217;s MPPT voltage range. Your installer will confirm how the panels are wired into strings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I add more batteries to my solar setup later?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can usually add more battery storage later if the new battery matches your inverter&#8217;s battery voltage and the inverter supports the larger capacity. Adding the same battery model is the simplest way to expand. Check compatibility with your supplier and installer before buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between a hybrid inverter and an off-grid inverter?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hybrid inverter works with solar panels, a battery and the utility grid together, switching between them automatically. An off-grid inverter works only with solar panels and batteries, with no grid connection. Hybrid inverters suit grid-connected homes that experience brownouts, while off-grid inverters suit remote sites without power lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Cybotix Philippines install solar systems?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, Cybotix Philippines is a solar distributor, not an installation contractor. Cybotix supplies solar panels, hybrid inverters, lithium batteries and all-in-one systems, and provides sizing advice and PH-based technical support. A licensed local electrician should handle all wiring and mounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Cybotix Philippines deliver solar equipment outside Metro Manila?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, Cybotix Philippines delivers nationwide, including Visayas, Mindanao and island provinces.
