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.
PSSEA in the Spotlight | Building a Stronger Solar and Storage Industry ☀️🔋
What does it take to build a stronger solar and energy storage industry in the Philippines? For PSSEA, it starts with community education, industry-led policy advocacy, and partnerships that turn shared goals into meaningful impact.
In this conversation with John Grimes, Mayet Pantastico, PSSEA General Manager and Executive Secretary, shared her vision for a Philippine energy future that creates more local jobs, supports a healthier environment, and reduces dependence on fossil fuels. She also highlighted PSSEA’s work in raising awareness of solar energy’s benefits and bringing the industry’s voice to government and communities.
This commitment to industry development and responsible market growth aligns with PSSEA’s recent recognition by the DTI–Bureau of Philippine Standards, which presented the Alliance with the 4109 Award for Industry Partner for Advocacy. The award recognizes PSSEA’s efforts to promote standards awareness, empower consumers, and support compliance with standards for regulated products in the market.
Our thanks to John Grimes for the conversation and for recognizing the importance of building the capacity and leadership of industry associations in accelerating the energy transition.
Together, through stronger partnerships, informed communities, and credible industry practices, we can advance a more secure, affordable, and sustainable energy future for the Philippines.

HAPPENING NOW: At the Technical Forum on Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on October 15, 2026, in Makati City, PSSEA President Ping Mendoza highlighted the complementary roles of utility-scale and behind-the-meter solar in advancing the Philippines’ energy transition.
While utility-scale projects attract significant investments, behind-the-meter solar offers opportunities to accelerate local impact from creating jobs in the provinces to addressing challenges in distribution grids beyond Meralco and privately operated distribution utilities.
Expanding both utility-scale and distributed solar can help strengthen energy security, broaden economic opportunities, and support a more affordable and sustainable energy future for the Philippines.

PSSEA in the Media | Solar and Battery Capacity Could Grow 73-Fold by 2050 ☀️🔋
Solar and battery capacity in the Philippines could grow by around 73 times its current level by 2050, according to BloombergNEF. But as renewable energy deployment accelerates, grid capacity and transmission infrastructure will be critical to turning this potential into reliable power.
In a Power Philippines report, PSSEA Chairperson Maria Theresa “Tetchi” Capellan highlighted the challenge facing renewable energy expansion, noting that generation without adequate transmission can result in stranded investments. The report also highlights how distributed solar paired with battery storage could help ease grid constraints, improve resilience, and support reliable electricity supply across the country.

PSSEA in the Media | Floating Solar Gains Momentum in the Philippines 🌊☀️
The Philippines is advancing floating solar through new investment commitments and plans for local manufacturing. In a Power Philippines report, PSSEA’s Philippine Floating Solar Photovoltaic Innovation Series and Commitment Ceremony brought together government, investors, project developers, technology providers, and industry stakeholders to support the growth of floating solar in the country.
The commitments include plans for local manufacturing facilities and new floating solar projects, helping build domestic capabilities and strengthen the supply chain for the emerging floating solar industry. PSSEA continues to support initiatives that can expand renewable energy deployment and strengthen the Philippines’ clean energy future.

HAPPENING NOW: PSSEA Chairperson Maria Theresa “Tetchi” Capellan opened the event by highlighting the growing role of floating solar in the Philippines and its potential to complement, rather than compete with, food production through aquaculture.
She also marked two important milestones for the industry: the development of the 250-MW floating solar project in Ilagan and the planned 1-GW floaters manufacturing facility, strengthening the Philippines’ potential role in the global floating solar industry.
As Tetchi shared: “The next terawatt will no longer be ground-mounted; it will be solar on roof and solar on water.”
A strong reminder that the next phase of solar deployment will require innovation, investment, and new ways of using our land and water resources.
