@channelnewsasia: This family’s monthly power bill fell by around 90% after going solar. But those savings came with changes to their daily routine. They shifted their cooking — including prep for dinner — to between 10am and 2pm, homeowner Allan Vedaña says, because that’s when their solar panels produce the most energy during the day. The family spent around 550,000 pesos (US$8,986) on the system, and Allan estimates an upgrade could cost another 200,000 pesos (US$3,259). Despite the cost, he says going solar was “absolutely worth it”. Watch the full Money Mind episode. #cnainsider #solar #electricity #philippines

Babes, if you are on grid and your monthly bill does not exceed 15,000 pesos I don't recommend it unless it's an extra money.

You have to be rich to buy all these hardware to be installed onto your nice landed home in order to get these savings. Who are you kidding?
