Turnkey EPC — Design to Commissioning
Solar Only upgradeable to Hybrid
The Gap We Fill
Region VI has a power problem.
We have a working solution.
4–8 hour brownouts are routine. Electricity costs rank among Southeast Asia's highest. And when typhoons hit, pure solar goes dark — precisely when backup power matters most.
☁ The Problem
- Frequent brownouts disrupt homes, farms, and businesses daily
- Electricity costs among the highest in Southeast Asia
- Pure solar fails on typhoon-cloudy days — exactly when power is most needed
- Rainwater runoff wasted rather than captured as an energy source
- No local turnkey provider for integrated rain-hydro systems
⚡ Our Solution
- 24/7 hybrid power: solar charges batteries by day; hydro runs by night and in rain
- Average monthly bill reduced by 60–80% with full off-grid option
- Rainwater harvested for domestic, agricultural, AND energy generation
- Turnkey EPC — design, supply, install, and maintain — single responsible party
- Flexible entry: Solar Only (₱80K–₱1.3M) or Hybrid Solar+Hydro (₱180K–₱2.2M) — modular, upgradeable at any time
System Architecture
How the system works
Solar panels and the rain-fed micro-hydro turbine both charge the battery through a hybrid inverter — day or night, sun or rain. Stored power runs the home, farm, or resort around the clock. Optional portable power stations tap the fixed battery as overflow backup during extended brownouts or field deployment. Monitoring SaaS tracks performance and flags issues remotely.
- Daytime Solar Power PV solar panels capture sunlight, convert it to electricity, and charge the battery via the hybrid inverter. Excess power can run your home directly.
- Night/Rain Hydro Power Rainwater descends your downspout through a minimum 3-meter head drop, passes a stainless steel debris filter, then spins a 50–500W micro-turbine — continuously trickle-charging the shared battery bank overnight and during typhoon cloud cover when solar output is lowest.
- 24/7 Supply via Battery The LiFePO₄ battery stores energy from both sources, ensuring uninterrupted power for homes, farms, and resorts — even during extended brownouts.
- Remote Monitoring Our SaaS dashboard tracks energy production, battery levels, and system health in real time, with alerts for any issues.
- Portable Overflow Backup Optional LiFePO₄ power stations connect to the fixed battery bank for mobile deployment — barangay response, farm field ops, resort events — without diesel generators.

Smart Controller — Operating Modes
Automatic mode-switching. No manual intervention required.
The hybrid inverter's built-in smart controller monitors irradiance, rainfall flow rate, battery state-of-charge (SoC), and load demand in real time — selecting the optimal source combination automatically without manual switching.
Solar Mode
Condition: Sun ≥ 70% irradiance
Solar panels power all loads directly via the inverter. Surplus energy charges the battery bank at maximum MPPT rate.
Hydro Mode
Condition: Active rainfall + low irradiance
Micro-hydro turbine trickle-charges the battery bank overnight and during overcast weather when solar is offline.
Hybrid Mode
Condition: Partial sun + active rainfall
Solar and hydro sources run simultaneously. The controller blends both inputs for the highest combined charge rate.
Battery Mode
Condition: Night, no rainfall
LiFePO₄ battery bank discharges to supply all home loads from stored energy. 5,000+ cycle lifespan ensures long service.
Grid Backup
Condition: Battery < 20% SoC (optional)
Optional grid supplement for grid-tied installs. Activates only at low battery threshold — minimizing grid dependence.
Why It Matters
Ten reasons to go hybrid.
From day-one bill reduction to long-term disaster resilience — every benefit compounds over the 25-year system lifetime.
Clean Renewable Energy
100% generated from sunlight and rainwater — zero combustion, zero emissions at point of use.
Reduced Electricity Costs
Cut monthly bills by 60–80%. Lock in ₱5–7/kWh effective rate vs. ₱12–15/kWh grid cost.
Lower Carbon Emissions
A 5 kW system avoids ~3.6 tonnes of CO₂ per year — equivalent to planting 165 trees annually.
Sustainable Water Management
Harvested rainwater serves dual duty: generates electricity, then feeds sanitation or irrigation tanks.
Reliable 24/7 Power
Solar by day, hydro at night and during rain, battery bridging the gaps — continuous generation year-round.
Energy Independence
Reduce or eliminate dependence on the distribution utility grid — no more brownout disruptions.
Off-Grid Ready
Fully functional without a grid connection — ideal for remote farms, island communities, and eco-resorts.
Long-Term Cost Savings
4–6 year payback period. Net savings of ₱1.2M–₱3.5M over the system's 25-year lifespan.
Disaster Resilience
Typhoon-rated mounting (250 km/h). Rain-hydro activates during storm events when solar-only systems fail.
Environmentally Friendly
Silent, fuel-free, zero-waste operation. No diesel fumes, no fuel logistics, no noise pollution.
Environmental Impact
Every kWh generated is a kWh not burned.
The Philippine grid emits ~0.6 kg of CO₂ per kWh generated. Every unit of solar-hydro power you produce directly displaces that carbon load — and over 25 years, the cumulative impact is significant.
~3.6 tonnes CO₂/yrAvoided by a typical 5 kW hybrid system (PH grid factor: 0.6 kg CO₂/kWh)
≈165 trees/yrCarbon sequestration equivalent (at 22 kg CO₂/tree/yr average)
~90 tonnes CO₂Total lifetime avoidance over 25 years per 5 kW system
* Figures based on DOE Philippines grid emission factor (~0.6 kg CO₂/kWh) and IPCC tree sequestration estimates. Actual values depend on system size, usage profile, and grid mix at time of generation. Carbon credit monetization potential subject to DOE/SEC registration requirements.

14 Visayas power plants forced offline in May 2026. 880MW+ unavailable. Businesses and farms are urgently self-generating — demand is now pull, not push.
Capiz Rainfall is a Resource
2,400mm/year average rainfall makes Capiz ideal for rain-fed micro-hydro. No other province in Panay has this combination of high electricity cost and high precipitation.
Agriculture Sector = Natural Anchor Clients
5,000+ registered farms across Panay. High energy cost per kilo of produce makes the ROI case compelling — 4–6 year payback at current rates.
133 LGUs Under RA 9513 Mandate
The Renewable Energy Act mandates LGU RE adoption. 133 municipalities across 5 Panay provinces represent a structured institutional pipeline.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions.
A quick glossary for terms used throughout this page — straightforward answers for homeowners, farm operators, LGUs, and investors alike.
Solar Only systems generate power during daylight hours using rooftop panels and battery storage. Hybrid systems add a rain-fed micro-hydro turbine that keeps generating power at night and during cloudy, rainy weather — exactly when solar output drops. Solar Only installations can be upgraded to Hybrid later without reinstalling existing equipment.
Rain-hydro uses captured rainwater runoff — from rooftops or small catchments — to spin a downspout micro-turbine and generate electricity. For reliable performance, the system requires a vertical head drop of at least 3 meters (standard roof-to-ground height) and features an integrated stainless steel mesh debris filter to prevent leaf and sediment clogging. Capiz receives roughly 2,400mm of rainfall per year, among the highest in Panay. The turbine functions as a critical wet-season trickle-charger for the shared battery bank — keeping it topped up overnight and during heavy cloud cover — naturally complementing solar which peaks on dry, sunny days. Water exiting the turbine can also be funneled into harvesting tanks for household sanitation or garden irrigation, turning runoff into a dual-purpose resource.
Most clients see a 60–80% reduction in their monthly electricity bill, with some achieving full off-grid independence. Savings depend on system size, household or facility consumption, and how much of your load is shifted to self-generated power.
EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction. It means we handle the entire project under one contract — design, equipment sourcing, installation, and commissioning — so you deal with a single accountable provider rather than coordinating separate suppliers and contractors.
It's a connected dashboard that tracks your system's solar and hydro output, battery health, and flags maintenance issues remotely — for homeowners, farms, and LGUs alike. It's bundled into every Operations & Maintenance (O&M) contract as a standard subscription, so most clients have it by default.
O&M (Operations & Maintenance) is an annual service contract covering preventive maintenance, remote monitoring, a 24-hour service-level agreement for repairs, and warranty support. Pricing ranges from roughly ₱24,000 to ₱120,000 per year depending on system size and tier.
Capiz is our home base and initial focus market, but our current pipeline already includes prospects in Iloilo and Antique. The go-to-market plan expands across Region VI within 24–36 months post-funding and into the broader Visayas by Month 48–60.
WESM is the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market — the market where electricity is traded in real time at prices that can spike sharply during shortages. The DOE 2030 RE Target is the Department of Energy's goal for renewable energy to make up 35% of the country's power generation mix by 2030, which is driving policy support for projects like ours.
Timelines vary by system size and complexity, but most residential and farm installations are completed within a few weeks of site assessment and permitting. Equipment warranties and our 24-hour service-level agreement are included under the O&M contract.
Yes — and this is where hybrid outperforms solar-only. During overcast days, solar output drops to 20–40% of peak capacity but does not stop entirely, as diffuse light still drives the panels. More importantly, cloudy days in Western Visayas almost always bring rainfall, which simultaneously activates the rain-hydro turbine to trickle-charge the battery bank. The stored battery energy bridges any remaining gap. In practice, a correctly sized hybrid system maintains uninterrupted household power even through 3–5 consecutive overcast days.
Absolutely. The dry season (December–May) is actually peak solar season in Western Visayas, with 5.5–6.0 sun-hours per day in Capiz, Iloilo, and Antique. Solar generation during this period is 20–30% higher than wet-season output, fully compensating for the reduced hydro contribution. The rain-hydro turbine pauses during prolonged dry spells, but the oversized solar array and battery bank handle all loads comfortably. The hybrid design is intentionally seasonal — solar dominates in summer, hydro supplements in monsoon — so the system's annual energy yield is more consistent than solar-only alternatives.
