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.
Why is rooftop solar gaining momentum in the Philippines? ☀️🇵🇭
Rising electricity prices are putting energy costs at the forefront for Filipino consumers. With the country’s continued reliance on imported fuels and exposure to global energy and foreign exchange pressures, more consumers are recognizing rooftop solar as an increasingly affordable way to generate their own electricity, or sariling kuryente.
The momentum is also being reflected in Congress. PSSEA recently joined discussions with the House Committee on Energy, where lawmakers are considering eight bills aimed at making rooftop solar easier for ordinary households to adopt, including measures to simplify permitting and reduce regulatory barriers.
This builds on the President’s call for sariling kuryente in his State of the Nation Address, highlighting the need for policies that support direct-to-consumer power generation.
As PSSEA President Ping Mendoza shares in this video, the growing number of legislative proposals reflects a broader recognition across Congress of the opportunity to make rooftop solar more accessible to Filipino consumers.

PSSEA Participates in 3rd TWG Meeting on the Sariling Kuryente Act ☀️⚡
PSSEA participated in the 3rd Technical Working Group (TWG) meeting of the House Committee on Energy on the proposed Sariling Kuryente Act, continuing discussions on how to make self-generation and rooftop solar more accessible to Filipino consumers.
For PSSEA, enabling sariling kuryente means addressing the practical barriers that prevent ordinary households from adopting rooftop solar. This includes removing unnecessary permitting bottlenecks, simplifying processes, and ensuring that rooftop solar systems remain practical and economically viable for consumers.
As discussions move forward, PSSEA will continue bringing the industry’s perspective to the legislative process and advocating for policies that support energy security, affordability, and sustainability.

Easier Access to Own-Use Solar
The Department of Energy (DOE) has streamlined the rules for own-use solar systems, making it easier for Filipino households, medical facilities and small enterprises to generate clean electricity for their own consumption. The new policy reduces regulatory requirements for qualifying systems while maintaining technical safeguards for grid reliability.
PSSEA welcomes measures that reduce barriers to solar adoption and expand consumer access to clean energy, supporting a more secure, affordable and sustainable energy future for the Philippines.
