PSSEA met with Mariano Marcos State University Center for Affiliated Renewable Energy (MMSU-CARE) on May 13 to discuss a potential partnership supporting the establishment of a Solar Technology Testing Center (STTC) and the advancement of stronger standards for the Philippine solar industry.
The discussion highlighted the importance of bridging academic research and industry practice to improve safety, code compliance, and installation quality across the sector. Preliminary findings from MMSU-CARE’s study on small-scale solar PV installations revealed significant compliance gaps, underscoring the need for stronger technical standards, industry coordination, and workforce development.
Through this collaboration, PSSEA and MMSU-CARE aim to support evidence-based policy advocacy, strengthen consumer protection, and help professionalize the country’s rapidly growing solar sector to ensure safer, more reliable, and higher-quality rooftop solar installations nationwide.

PSSEA Chairman Maria Theresa “Tetchi” Capellan welcomed the issuance of Customs Administrative Order (CAO) 01-2026, which extends importer accreditation validity from one year to three years — a move seen to support faster and more efficient deployment of solar and energy storage technologies in the country.
PSSEA emphasized that reducing bureaucratic hurdles and streamlining importation processes are important “ease of doing business” measures that can help lower operational costs, improve project timelines, and accelerate the country’s clean energy transition.
The Alliance continues to advocate for policies that support a more enabling environment for renewable energy investments and strengthen the country’s local power supply.

PSSEA Chairman Maria Theresa “Tetchi” Capellan highlighted the importance of streamlining importation processes for clean energy technologies in a recent feature by The Manila Times.
“By extending the accreditation validity to three years, the Bureau of Customs is effectively removing a recurring administrative bottleneck that has historically hampered the flow of clean energy technologies into the country, particularly solar and energy storage,” Capellan said.
PSSEA emphasized that reducing bureaucratic hurdles is a key “ease of doing business” measure that can help accelerate renewable energy deployment and strengthen the country’s local power supply.

Rooftop solar is now more affordable and accessible for Filipino households than ever before.
In an interview on DZRH’s Special on Saturday, PSSEA Chairman Maria Theresa “Tetchi” Capellan highlighted how installation costs for solar rooftop systems have significantly declined over the past two decades — allowing households to potentially reduce monthly electricity bills by as much as ₱7,000.
PSSEA also emphasized the need to streamline permitting requirements across LGUs to accelerate rooftop solar adoption and make clean energy solutions easier to access for consumers nationwide.

PSSEA calls for a level playing field in the rooftop solar sector through stronger installer standards and a national registry.
“We are building an entirely new industry — one that operates under a new set of paradigms. It is critical for PSSEA to cultivate a workforce ecosystem that clearly defines competency standards, the foundational skills required of solar rooftop designers and installers, and certification procedures that are aligned with and recognized across the region.” — Tetchi Capellan, Chair, PSSEA
