A six-page concept website for a fictional home solar installer in Laguna. Homeowners type their Meralco bill into a savings estimator that shows its math, tick off a net-metering checklist, and browse six sample installs with bills before and after.

The problem
Homeowners hear "mababawasan ang bill mo" from every installer, but no one shows the math. Exported power is worth less than power used at home, the net-metering papers take months, and the quote rarely says either, so the savings and the wait both disappoint.
Research
Desk research, October 2026: Meralco's residential rate is ₱15.06/kWh (October 2026). Power exported under net metering is credited at about ₱5–6.50/kWh (estimate, ERC Resolution 09, s. 2013). OpenSolar already gives installers a free estimate widget, so the edge here is the Philippine part: the export split, the net-metering paper trail and local financing.
The idea
On this page, an electric bill becomes a system size. The estimator turns the bill into kWh, splits daytime use from export, and lands on a sample system, price range and payback, with the math one tap away. A roof wipes from bare to panels.

What it does for the business
If this were a real installer, enquiries would arrive with the bill, roof and city already in a Messenger message, and homeowners would know the paperwork wait before signing. Concept only, with sample prices, installs and reviews.
Figures marked sample are illustrations, not real results.
How it's built
- The estimator starts from the monthly bill, roof type and city, and sizes the system from there. "Show my math" opens every step.
- Power used at home saves the full rate; power sent to the grid is credited lower. The estimator counts them apart instead of promising one big number.
- The net-metering checklist lists the papers for the homeowner and the installer, and keeps the ticks in the browser.
- Six sample installs carry the barangay, kWp, month and the bill before and after, with a roof wipe from bare to panels.
- Financing names GSIS, Pag-IBIG and banks and says "ask us for current terms", with no invented rates.
- Every price, review, name and accreditation number is labelled sample, and every hero says the photo is generated.
