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.
Turning Public Demand into Action: PSSEA Advocates for Affordable Solar
On 2 July 2026, at B Hotel, Quezon City, the Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA) joined industry leaders, renewable energy advocates, and members of the media to discuss practical solutions for making rooftop solar more affordable and accessible for Filipino households.
The discussion reinforced what Filipinos are already saying. Recent public perception survey results show that:
• 93% believe the government should make rooftop solar more affordable.
• 91% support more affordable financing and payment options for rooftop solar.
• 88% believe rooftop solar offers hope for a safer and more stable energy future.
These findings reflect a clear public mandate: Filipinos are ready to embrace solar. The next step is removing the barriers that prevent wider adoption.
PSSEA emphasized that accelerating the country`s clean energy transition will require practical reforms, from streamlining permitting and net metering processes, to expanding financing options, strengthening installer standards, and pursuing policies that lower the cost of going solar.
As Ping Mendoza shared during the discussion:
"The fight is not against one group. The fight is against expensive electricity."
PSSEA remains committed to working with government, industry, and communities to advance practical, evidence-based solutions that make solar more affordable, more accessible, and more beneficial for every Filipino.

The Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA) recently had the opportunity to exchange insights with John Grimes, one of the Asia-Pacific region`s leading renewable energy advocates, on strengthening the role of industry associations in accelerating the clean energy transition.
Drawing from nearly two decades of experience leading Australia`s renewable energy sector, the discussion went beyond solar technology—it focused on how industry organizations can build trust, influence policy, and create lasting impact.
Some of the key takeaways:
☀️ Put people at the center of the energy transition through compelling storytelling and clear, accessible messaging.
📈 Build a stronger industry voice through strategic communications, evidence-based advocacy, and meaningful stakeholder engagement.
🤝 Strengthen the association by balancing member services with mission-driven initiatives that advance the broader renewable energy agenda.
🌏 Expand partnerships and global collaboration to unlock new opportunities for growth and impact.
The conversation reinforces PSSEA`s commitment to becoming a stronger platform for collaboration, innovation, and policy advocacy as the Philippines works toward a more resilient, affordable, and sustainable energy future.
Thank you, John Grimes, for sharing your invaluable insights and helping shape the next chapter of PSSEA`s journey.

PSSEA recently led a roundtable discussion with the Department of Trade and Industry – Bureau of Philippine Standards (DTI-BPS) and industry stakeholders to discuss the proposed Department Administrative Order (DAO) on the certification and regulation of solar energy products.
The consultation covered consumer protection, product quality standards, certification pathways, market surveillance, and key industry recommendations to support the continued growth of the Philippine solar sector while ensuring safety and accountability.
Stakeholders are expected to submit their formal recommendations to DTI-BPS by 25 July 2026.

In the days leading up to Philippine Independence Day, the Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA) participated in the launch of the "Sayang ang Araw" campaign at QC Memorial Circle, from 7:00 to 9:00 AM. The initiative highlights the strategic importance of harnessing the Philippines’ abundant solar resources to advance energy security, sustainability, and national resilience.
PSSEA President Ping Mendoza delivered a concise address emphasizing:
The critical role of solar energy adoption in reducing reliance on imported fuels.
The importance of energy storage technologies for a reliable and stable power grid.
How maximizing solar resources represents not only an environmental imperative but also an economic and social opportunity, creating jobs and empowering communities nationwide.
The launch brought together government officials, industry leaders, and renewable energy advocates, reinforcing a shared vision: a Philippines where every opportunity for clean energy is maximized.
PSSEA remains committed to supporting initiatives, policies, and partnerships that accelerate the growth of the solar and energy storage sector, driving the country toward a sustainable and resilient energy future.

As the Philippine solar industry continues to grow, ensuring product quality, safety, and reliability across the value chain is becoming increasingly important.
The DTI-BPS has released a draft Department Administrative Order (DAO) proposing the mandatory certification of solar energy systems and related components, including solar PV modules, inverters, battery energy storage systems (BESS), rapid shutdown devices, battery charge controllers, and PV cables.
Given the potential implications for manufacturers, importers, distributors, installers, EPCs, project developers, and consumers, meaningful industry engagement will be essential in shaping a regulatory framework that is both effective and implementable.
READ THE DAO HERE: https://bit.ly/DraftDAOSolarPV
PSSEA encourages industry stakeholders and practitioners to review the proposed DAO and share their insights, recommendations, and implementation considerations in the comments.
Constructive dialogue from the sector will help support the development of practical, safety-driven, and industry-responsive standards for the Philippine solar market.
