The Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA) is the country’s foremost advocate for solar and energy storage solutions.
As a non-profit alliance of industry leaders, we work closely with government and private stakeholders to shape progressive energy policies and accelerate the shift to clean, reliable power.
PSSEA serves as a unifying platform for collaboration, advocacy, and innovation across the solar and storage value chain.
POWERING THE ISLANDS: A PARTNERSHIP FOR A MORE RESILIENT ENERGY FUTURE
In this video, PSSEA Chairperson Maria Theresa “Tetchi” Capellan (tetchi capellan) recognizes the collaboration among the Department of Energy Philippines (DOE), Climate Change Commission Philippines (CCC), Asian Photovoltaic Industry Association (APVIA/IPledgeSolar), and Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA) in advancing the conversation on solar and battery storage for island communities.
Bringing together government and industry is essential to turning clean energy ambitions into practical solutions, reducing dependence on diesel, improving energy access, and building a more reliable and affordable power supply for the Philippines’ islands.
Join us at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, and be part of the conversation on how solar and battery storage can help power a more secure, affordable, and sustainable energy future.

SOLAR + BATTERY STORAGE: BREAKING THE CYCLE OF HIGH ELECTRICITY PRICES IN THE ISLANDS
For many Philippine island communities, diesel dependence means costly electricity and continued exposure to volatile fuel prices. Solar power paired with battery energy storage offers a cleaner, more affordable, and more resilient alternative.
By generating electricity from the sun and storing excess power for use beyond daylight hours, solar-plus-battery systems can reduce diesel consumption, lower generation costs, and help ease the long-term burden of electricity subsidies.
The benefits are already being demonstrated. On Cobrador Island, a 30-kW solar-plus-battery system extended electricity service from 8 to 24 hours daily and halved the tariff from ₱30/kWh to ₱15/kWh.
As the Philippines advances its energy transition, we must ensure that island communities are not left behind. Supporting solar and battery storage deployment means investing in energy security, affordability, and sustainability.
See you at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, on November 10, at the Philippine Pavilion.

HAPPENING NOW: Powering the Islands through Solar and Battery Storage
The Asian Photovoltaic Industry Association (APVIA), with the support of the Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA), is convening the technical workshop “Powering the Islands through Solar and Battery Storage” today, November 4, 2026, at ibis Styles Manila, Araneta City, Quezon City.
The workshop brings together government representatives, international experts, technology providers, and energy industry stakeholders to explore practical pathways for expanding solar energy and battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Philippine island communities.
Discussions cover government policies and programs, global experiences, innovative technological solutions, and lessons from Philippine island electrification initiatives.
Recognizing the distinct energy access, reliability, and affordability challenges of island communities, the workshop highlights how solar and battery storage can contribute to more resilient and sustainable power systems.
Through its support for this initiative, PSSEA reaffirms its commitment to industry collaboration and advancing solar and energy storage solutions for a more secure, affordable, and sustainable energy future.

PSSEA in the Media | Rooftop Solar Inquiries Surge Tenfold in the Philippines
Rooftop solar inquiries in the Philippines have increased eight to ten times since March, according to PSSEA President Ping Mendoza in an Energy Tracker Asia report. While rising electricity prices are driving interest, upfront costs and financing gaps remain barriers to wider adoption.
Mendoza also highlighted growing interest in battery storage and the need for accessible financing and clearer regulations to help more households and businesses benefit from solar energy.
