Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of a solar power system depends on various factors, including your monthly electricity usage, system size, and the appliances you use. To get an accurate estimate, it’s best to consult with a Handrocks solar expert who can recommend the right system based on your needs.

The number of solar panels needed depends on factors such as your home’s size, energy consumption, and available roof space. Our team can assess your energy usage and sun exposure to provide a customized recommendation that maximizes your savings.
Solar power harnesses energy from the sun using photovoltaic (PV) cells in solar panels. These panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, which then passes through an inverter to be converted into alternating current (AC) electricity—the type used in homes and businesses. Any excess energy can either be stored in batteries or sent back to the grid for credits through net metering.
Net metering is a system that lets homeowners with solar panels send excess electricity back to the grid. In return, they receive credits on their utility bill, which can be used to offset future electricity costs. A special meter tracks both the energy you consume from the grid and the energy you send back, ensuring you only pay for the net amount used.
A grid-tied solar system connects your solar panels directly to the utility grid. This allows you to use solar power during the day and pull electricity from the grid when needed. If your system generates more energy than you use, the excess is sent back to the grid, and you receive credits on your electricity bill.
Yes! A grid-tied solar system allows you to stay connected to your local utility provider. While your solar panels reduce your reliance on the grid, you can still access electricity when needed.
Solar systems require minimal maintenance, but regular cleaning and inspections help keep them operating at peak efficiency.
Yes, but at a reduced capacity. While heavy rain and cloud cover can decrease energy production, solar panels still generate some electricity. Fortunately, solar panels are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including rain.
Since solar panels rely on sunlight, they do not generate electricity at night. However, you can still use stored energy from batteries or draw power from the grid through net metering, ensuring a steady electricity supply even after sunset.
Your savings depend on energy usage, weather conditions, and system size. On average, a solar power system can reduce your electricity bill by ₱5,000 – ₱10,000 per month.
Yes! Our solar power systems come with a workmanship warranty, and the major components (like solar panels and inverters) are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand.
The installation time depends on factors like site accessibility and weather conditions. However, most residential solar systems can be installed within 1 to 2 days.
A hybrid solar system combines the benefits of both grid-tied and off-grid systems by incorporating a battery backup. This means your solar panels can store excess energy for use at night, during cloudy days, or in case of power outages, ensuring a continuous power supply.
