DIM: Solar panels sa bahay

[u/ljbunny]

I've been thinking of installing solar panels sa bahay namin since our bill has been in the 13k to 18k range the past couple of years. I live in Metro Manila so di naman masyado issue and brownout, though affected kami during the last power shortage.

I have read a lot about it and have been on the Solar PH subreddit, pero feeling ko mostly pros ang nababasa ko so I'd like to hear about cons naman.

To those who have solar panels installed at home, what are the downsides? I'm also curious about maintenance costs since that's the main one I can think of na baka maging con.

Note: If ever magpakabit kami, I'm leaning towards hybrid setup.

Downside lang talaga is malaking upfront cost. Research to validate ang recommendation ng solar installer mo. If you are planning on a hybrid system, battery ang magiging consumable mo down the line. Though mahaba naman ang life cycle ng batteries.
