Solar that grows with your household.
Luzon hit Red Alert on May 13, 2026 with two-hour rotating brownouts. Utility residential rates rose three times this year. Three hybrid-ready packages — start with the system you need, add the battery when your bill, your brownout pattern, or your budget says it’s time.

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.
Three 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.

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 reservation deposit. Install 3–4 working days for standard 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.
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.
Larger home?
Over ₱25,000/month on your utility bill? The ARAW Estate series covers 19.84 to 29.76 kWp — same battery-ready architecture, sized for 2–3+ floor homes with multiple ACs and EV charging.
