Nearly nine in 10 Filipinos are considering installing solar panels at home, according to a recent survey reported by Philstar Biz . The growing interest signals a shift toward renewable energy among households, though adoption faces significant hurdles.
Key concerns cited by respondents include potential damage to roofs, high upfront installation costs, and unreliable weather conditions. These factors deter many from making the switch despite long-term savings on electricity bills.
The findings highlight a growing awareness of solar energy benefits, but also underscore the need for government incentives and affordable financing options to overcome barriers. As electricity rates remain high, solar adoption could accelerate if these issues are addressed.
