Solar for Your Family's Home in the Philippines
Working abroad and want to put solar on the family home back in the Philippines? It's one of the most practical things you can set up from overseas — it cuts an electricity bill your family pays every month, for decades, long after the system is installed. Here's how Solar Switch makes it work when you're not in the country.
Why solar is a smart thing to set up from abroad
A gift that pays every month
Unlike most things you send home, solar keeps giving back — it trims a recurring bill your family pays month after month, for years, not just once.
More comfort, less worry
Your family can run the fans, aircon and appliances they need in the Philippine heat while leaning on the sun for a good part of it, instead of watching the meter.
Backup when the power cuts out
With a hybrid system and battery storage, essentials can keep running through a brownout — real peace of mind for the family you're not there to help in the moment.
A lasting improvement to the home
You're often building or improving that home from abroad already. Solar is a permanent upgrade to it — and something you can see working from wherever you are.
How it works when you're overseas
You don't need to be in the country. We coordinate with you from wherever you are, and with a family member on the ground.
Reach out from any timezone
Message us by chat, WhatsApp, Messenger or the quote form. Tell us the family home's location and roughly what the monthly bill runs.
Free site assessment
A family member on-site walks us through the roof and the electrical setup; we can coordinate over video and messaging so you see it too.
Design and quote — in writing
You get the system design and a written quote to review and decide on from abroad. Never send money on a verbal promise.
Installation
Our team installs and commissions the system, and demonstrates it to whoever is on-site.
Documentation and monitoring
You receive the handover package — drawings, serial numbers, warranty certificates — and monitoring access, so you can watch the system working from anywhere in the world.
Make sure you're dealing with a legitimate company
From abroad, the hard part is knowing a company is real and not a fly-by-night. The essentials: a registered business you can verify (not just a Facebook page), everything in writing (design, scope, payment terms, who files permits and net metering), someone on-site for the assessment and install, and monitoring access so you can confirm from overseas that what you paid for is actually running.

Working with Solar Switch from abroad
Solar Switch is a registered Philippine business based in Imus, Cavite, providing full-lifecycle (EPC) solar for homes and businesses and servicing systems across the country. We coordinate with overseas clients and their families on the ground — a registered business, a written scope, a documented handover, five years of after-sales maintenance, and monitoring access so you can check in from anywhere. We're straight about what's in our scope (permits and net-metering applications are usually the client's to file), and we don't promise a zero bill or quote before we understand the home's roof and bills.
