Three rate hikes
Residential utility rates rose three times in 2026 (Feb + March + May, ERC-confirmed). Payback math sharpens each cycle.

Already on rooftop solar across the country. Crews + supplier inventory mature.
Two estate-class packages below — battery-pre-wired so the upgrade is a half-day plug-and-play.
How net-metering works
Daytime exports, evening credits.
Daytime solar generates more than your home uses. The surplus exports to your utility at 1:1 kWh credit — those credits offset evening grid pull, including air-conditioning. Without net-metering filed, savings drop to about half. Achiv supplies the PEE-signed plans; you file once and credits run monthly.

How payment works.
Reservation + price lockDefault
₱100,000 reservation on contract signing. Locks today’s component prices for your project — no re-quoting if supplier prices move. Applied to your materials total.
Materials balance
Remaining materials cost paid before your components ship from the supplier. Achiv coordinates the order — you see the landed cost with no markup.
Installation + commissioning
Professional fee, mobilization, and enclosure paid on commissioning day — after the system is tested, energized, and handover documentation is delivered.
14-day quote validity. Three payments, three milestones — reservation, delivery, handover.
50/50
Half at contract signing, half on completion and handover. Available on request — ask your project coordinator.
Frequently asked.
Why cheaper prices on social media?
Registered installer with DTI, BIR, Mayor’s Permit + non-VAT. Tier-1 hardware only — 25-yr panel performance, factory-traceable serials, signed warranty registrations. Cheap social-media quotes typically skip permits + use unbranded panels that fail year 2.
How long from contract to power-on?
Materials 1–7 working days after full materials payment is released. Install 5–7 working days for Estate-class systems. Net-metering activation: 2–6 weeks after we file your PEE-signed plans.
Who handles net-metering?
You file with your utility. We supply PEE-signed single-line + as-built drawings + Achiv-stamped plans. DOE accelerated approvals through 2026 — most homes clear NMA in weeks.
What is 200A single-phase service?
Estate-class systems need a 200A service entrance to handle the higher generation capacity. Most large homes already have it — we verify during site assessment and coordinate an upgrade with your utility if needed before install starts.
Can I add panels or battery later?
Battery wiring pre-installed — adding a battery later is a half-day plug-and-play. More panels depend on inverter headroom; we keep your as-built drawings on file for fast revisions.
Why two inverters instead of one bigger one?
Single-phase homes max out at 12 kW per inverter. Parallel configuration doubles capacity to 24 kW without upgrading to 3-phase. Each inverter operates independently — built-in redundancy if one ever needs servicing.

Smaller system?
Under ₱25,000/month on your utility bill? The ARAW Hybrid-Ready trio (Lite, Home, Max) covers 6.20 to 14.88 kWp — same battery-ready architecture, sized for smaller loads.

Mon–Sat · 8am–6pm
Prices current as of May 2026 under our 14-day quote validity; supplier pricing moves with FX. Savings assume active net-metering. Rainy season (~June–October) derates generation 25–35% so annual blended is typically ~85%. Site visit firms up the number against your roof and bill.
