Mindanao Goes Solar Movement

Sa iyang , nanawagan si President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. nga ipasa ang proposed Sariling Kuryente Act aron mas daghang Pilipino maka-access sa rooftop solar. ☀️

Pero daghan pa gihapong babag sama sa taas nga VAT, lisod nga proseso, ug limitado nga financing.

Ang campaign nanawagan sa Kongreso nga suportahan ang Sariling Kuryente Act para mas affordable ug accessible ang solar energy. Mas barato nga kuryente, mas lig-on nga komunidad, ug mas secure nga energy future para sa tanan. 🌱⚡

Apil sa kampanya! Pirma sa petition: letsgorenewable.ph/sayangangaraw

In his fifth State of the Nation Address ( ), President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. called for the passing of the proposed Sariling Kuryente Act, echoing the sentiment of majority of Filipinos that scaling can be a practical, affordable, and resilient energy solution that gives consumers greater control over their electricity costs.

Despite strong public support for wider rooftop solar and adoption, financial and policy barriers—such as the 12% VAT imposed on installations, limited financing options, complicated permitting and interconnection procedures, and limited consumer protection, among others—prevent many households and businesses from investing in rooftop solar systems.

The campaign urges Congress to deliberate on the Sariling Kuryente Act to translate the President’s vision into meaningful consumer action. Expanded access to rooftop solar is not only an investment in —but an investment in lower electricity costs, stronger , and a more secure energy future for all.

Apil sa lihok alang sa mas barato nga rooftop solar sa Pilipinas! Pirmahi ang petisyon: letsgorenewable.ph/sayangangaraw

Basaha ang Department Circular: https://prod-cms.doe.gov.ph/documents/d/guest/dc2026-08-0017-pdf

The Sayang Ang Araw: Gawing Mura ang Solar Campaign welcomes the Department of Energy Philippines' issuance of a new policy streamlining the rules for Self-Generating Facility Zero-Export Solar Systems (SGF ZESS) and consumer-grade Micro-Solar Systems (MSS).

This marks an important step toward making more accessible by reducing regulatory barriers for households and businesses. As more Filipinos gain the opportunity to generate their own electricity, we move closer to a future with more affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy.

We look forward to the Energy Regulatory Commission's issuance of the necessary licensing framework to support the effective implementation of this policy. We are hopeful that these reforms will help bring within reach of more Filipino families.

From Camiguin’s breathtaking landscapes to Mindanao’s vibrant communities, the island region is showing that a brighter future can be powered by the sun. 🌱🔆

As we embrace renewable energy, Mindanao moves toward a cleaner, more sustainable, and more resilient tomorrow—where every ray of sunshine becomes an opportunity for progress.

The future is bright. The future is solar. Mindanao goes solar. ☀️💚

Where volcanoes, white sandy shores, hot springs, wellness, and solar power shape the island. I remember my first time in Camiguin in 2010. It was a joint birthday trip with Kristina when our friend Lot invited us to celebrate in her hometown of Cagayan de Oro. From there, we ferried…

“Sayang Ang Araw, Gawing Mura Ang Solar” ania na sa Cagayan de Oro! ☀️

Mapasigarbuhon ang Mindanao Goes Solar nga mahimong usa sa mga kauban sa paglunsad sa maong kampanya, nga gipahigayon atol sa Environment Month Culmination sa City Government of Cagayan de Oro niadtong Hunyo 27 sa SM CDO Downtown Premier.

Kauban ang City Government, CREAM Project, Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (ICSC), ug uban pang mga katuwang, nagpadayon kita sa atong paningkamot nga himuong mas sayon, mas abot-kaya, ug mas praktikal ang paggamit sa rooftop solar alang sa mga panimalay, negosyo, ug komunidad.

Labaw pa kini sa usa ka kampanya—usa kini ka lakang padulong sa mas ubos nga bayranan sa kuryente, mas limpyo nga enerhiya, ug mas lig-on nga kaugmaon alang sa tanan.
