Questions, answered straight.
The things homeowners, installers and partners ask us most. If yours is not here, email us and we will add it.
For homeowners
Free forever, and no card is needed. We earn from installer partners who receive consented, bill-verified opportunities, never from selling your contact details.
They are built on your real electricity bill, satellite analysis of your actual roof, and sunshine data for your location. That puts them well ahead of a generic online calculator. An installer confirms the final design after a site visit.
About three minutes. Enter your city and your monthly bill, or upload a photo of a recent bill for a sharper result.
It helps but it is not required. You can upload a photo or type the amount in. More bills means better accuracy.
Roughly ₱50,000 to ₱65,000 per kilowatt installed, so a typical 5 kW home system lands between ₱250,000 and ₱325,000. Equipment tier, roof complexity and battery storage move that range.
Usually three to five years for a Filipino home. After that the power is close to free for another twenty years or so.
Not on its own. A normal grid-tied system shuts off during an outage so it cannot send power into lines that linemen are working on. Backup needs a battery and a different kind of inverter.
Yes. Your data is encrypted, kept anonymous, and handled under the Data Privacy Act, RA 10173. You can delete it at any time.
No. Installers cannot contact you directly. Introductions only happen when you approve them.
For installers
Qualified, consented opportunity profiles rather than raw contact lists. Each one includes bill range, location, system size and how far along the homeowner is.
Lead lists are sold on volume and sold more than once. Every profile here is bill-backed, consent-driven, and shown to you because the homeowner chose you.
Connections stay mediated. Homeowners remain anonymous until they consent to an introduction.
We are still finalising the commercial model and are piloting per-lead fees, subscriptions and success-based pricing with our first partners. There is no listing fee during the pilot.
Yes. Partners get a profile with portfolio, certifications, warranty terms and service areas, and can bid on matching opportunities.
We confirm SEC or DTI registration against public records, check that a licensed electrical practitioner is on record, and review completed projects including net metering approvals.
Submit your company details, then we run verification and agree pilot terms. You can also book an onboarding call and we will walk you through it.

No question about solar is too small to ask.
If it is on your mind it is on everyone else’s too. Ask us the one that is not here and we will add it.
