Truth be told, I am a tightwad- when it comes to electric bills, that is! I am obsessed with saving energy at home just to cut down on power bills. I make sure the TV and other appliances are turned off when not in use, I switch the lights off after my son has peacefully dozed off, etc. But I am almost at wits end, because no matter what measures I take at saving energy, I just can’t seem to get my electric bill down.
Reality check here: energy companies seem to make it a yearly habit to increase their prices. This year alone, prices of gas and electricity have gone up twice already. Gas prices by British Gas, E.ON, and Scottish & Southern Electric have shot up by as much as 18%, and electricity by 16%. Looking at these statistics makes me weak in the knees, knowing that my future electric bills won’t look too promising.
Thank heavens for HomeSun. HomeSun is a company bent on harnessing sustainable energy from the sun with the use of solar panels. It aims to help households save save money on electricity bills by using solar energy to power your home. What happens is the solar panels which are fixed onto the roof are wired to a small inverter which converts solar electricity into household/grid electricity. electricity flows from this inverter, through a solar meter to your existing fuse box. The result? A house powered with energy from the sun.
I have always wanted free solar panels installed in our home, but I’m not quite sure if in this part of the globe, there is a company which caters to such a service. Imagine the huge amount of savings this would bring my family! We’ll have more money left over to spend on other things, instead of all of our earnings going to those wealthy power companies! For the meantime, my family and I will just try our best to live a sustainable life.
This may be the best gift I can pass on to my son.
I want too, we can maximize the light of the sun, a big help to the environment and big savings for us.
Even if we limit our consumption, our bill at the end of the month basically stays the same because of the increase in rates
I wish solar panels will be made more affordable…
If the government will impose a law that household will be using this and of course panels will be sponsored by the government, Most people will surely save a lot
i once saw a whole village in one province with these solar panels in their homes, on tv…
the monthly electric bill can really be a cause of a major headache, hopefully they can make these solar panels that are easy on the budget so a lot of people can enjoy its numerous benefits + save on their electric bills….
I’m like you Miss Jadey, I always check our appliances to make sure that our electrical bill won’t go way beyond the budget… it’s nice to know that there are companies that invent things to help us save not only money but also our environment.
I don’t know when could we bring the sun to our home:( malamang the electric company will interfere…
WOW this is a great idea!!! SOLAR energy can help us in so many ways, less expenses and less damage in our environment
I also wish I can afford a solar panel in our home…My electric bill really soars up to 7k-8k during summer, I think normal na sa amin ang 4,500 pesos a month during regular season
I have heard that this is now available here in Davao because some of the hotels here are using solar energy. I just don’t know how much the installation. I wish I can afford.
actually, the makers of the solar panel are in our country.. but i talked to one of their employees but their customers are from other countries because it is quite expensive.
I’ve been thinking about that recently. Because our place receives a lot of sun, a solar panel on our roof is just the best place to put it. It might save us a whole lot with our electricity bill.
I’ve been thinking of buying solar panels to save on electricity bills and have been canvassing for a cheap one. I’m keeping my eye on those sold at Ace Hardware.
as much as I want to have our own solar panel it’s so expensive and we really can’t afford to buy one. I hope our Government will make a more affordable one or just give away free solar panels
I am planning to make our house more environment friendly too. Buy putting and using solar panels but as of now we have no budget for that, the only thing we could do is to reduce the use of electricity as hard as we can:)
I would be the first to try solar panels if it becomes commercially available here. I’ve been environment-conscious since we moved to Baguio. This city is so beautiful to be ruined by people!
I’ve always wanted to have our own solar panels at home too! This month, there will be another round of electricity rate hike, and it’s very frustrating since we are trying our best to conserve energy
@ Jess- I think sa US mas mura mga solar panels eh. Dalan mo ko pag nagbakasyun ka dito hehehe
@rikkabren – Sana lang these companies that offer energy saving devices doesn’t charge so much para naman ma avail ng madlang people.
This kind of “technology” really fits the Philippines because it’s super sunny here during summer. We can really keep our electricity bills down with this.
I think the government should promote this and make it their goal to have solar panels installed in every home. Calling on DOST..
Solar panels are a great help to us budgeting mommies and we all know that the cost of electricity is getting really high..That’s why I always look for means to lower the cost. Wish I could have one like this.
