Solar Panel Installation in the Meralco Franchise Area
Meralco is the distribution utility serving Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan, and surrounding areas. If your property receives electricity from Meralco, you are within the Meralco franchise area — and your solar panel system must meet Meralco-specific requirements for grid connection and net metering registration.
Installing solar panels within the Meralco franchise area without proper registration exposes you and your neighbors to safety risks and disqualifies your system from earning net metering credits. Meralco requires that your solar installer is Meralco-accredited and that the installation goes through the official net metering application process.
SolarPro Install holds Meralco-accredited installer status. Every installation we complete goes through the full Meralco registration process — grid interconnection, net metering application, and bi-directional meter installation included.
Meralco’s Four Key Considerations Before Going Solar
Meralco recommends that all customers evaluate four factors before proceeding with a solar installation. SolarPro Install addresses all four as part of our standard service.
1. Know the Right System Size
System size should be based on the appliances and equipment that operate during sunlight hours, not your total daily consumption. A properly sized system maximizes daytime self-consumption and net metering export. SolarPro Install conducts a load profile assessment at every site visit and reviews 12 months of your Meralco bills to size the right system.
2. Check the Best Location and Orientation
The optimal panel direction, tilt angle, and inverter configuration depend on your roof structure, available area, and shading conditions. SolarPro Install conducts a roof and shading analysis at every site assessment to determine the best panel placement and inverter selection for maximum energy yield.
3. Choose a Reputable Solar Provider
Meralco specifically recommends choosing an installer with after-sales service capability and knowledge of Philippine safety standards. SolarPro Install carries DOE accreditation, ERC Net Metering accreditation, and Meralco-accredited installer status — the three government-backed credentials that confirm we meet Philippine installation standards.
4. Ensure Registration with Meralco
Operating a solar system connected to the Meralco grid without proper registration exposes the customer and neighbors to safety risks and prevents the system from earning net metering credits. SolarPro Install completes the full Meralco registration process for every installation as a non-negotiable part of our service.
What Meralco-Accredited Installer Status Means for You
Not all solar installers operating in the Meralco franchise area are Meralco-accredited. Choosing a Meralco-accredited installer has direct practical consequences for your installation.
AUTH
Authorized Grid Interconnection Work
Meralco-accredited installers are authorized to complete the electrical work required for grid interconnection within the Meralco franchise area. This authorization is required for the net metering application to be accepted by Meralco.
APP
Smoother Net Metering Application
When your installer is Meralco-accredited, the net metering application process is significantly smoother. Meralco’s processing team recognizes the installer’s credentials, reducing documentation back-and-forth and minimizing the risk of rejection or delay.
SAFE
Safety Standards Compliance
Meralco-accredited installers are required to follow Philippine Electrical Code standards and Meralco-specific interconnection requirements. This protects your property, your neighbors connected to the same transformer, and the broader Meralco distribution network.
CRED
Net Metering Credits Qualify
Systems installed by Meralco-accredited installers and properly registered through the net metering application process qualify for bill credits from day one of operation. Systems installed without accreditation may be denied registration and earn no credits.
Operating Solar Without Meralco Registration Is a Safety Risk. Always Register.
What SolarPro Install Handles for Meralco Registration
The complete Meralco registration process covers four stages. SolarPro Install manages all four on your behalf.
1
Document Preparation and Submission
We prepare your Meralco Application Form, Amended Net-Metering Agreement (NMA), and coordinate your LGU CFEI. We handle COC Application Fee payment and submit the complete package to Meralco on your behalf.
2
Distribution Impact Study Follow-Up
We monitor and follow up with Meralco during the Distribution Impact Study phase to track status and ensure timely progression to the next stage.
3
Facility Inspection Coordination
We coordinate the Meralco facility inspection, settle the DIMC fee (not to exceed ₱3,000 for residential per ERC Advisory September 22, 2025), and ensure all inspection requirements are met.
4
Meter Installation and Commissioning
We are present during Meralco’s bi-directional meter installation and system commissioning to verify correct setup. Your system earns net metering credits from this point forward.

Solar Panel System Sizing for Meralco Customers
For Meralco customers, system sizing must account for both your daily consumption and Meralco’s hosting capacity on your local transformer. These are the typical system size recommendations based on monthly Meralco bill.
Bill ₱3K–₱5K/mo3 kWpEst. ₱2,000–₱3,500 savings/mo
Bill ₱5K–₱8K/mo5 kWpEst. ₱3,500–₱5,500 savings/mo
Bill ₱8K–₱12K/mo8 kWpEst. ₱5,500–₱8,000 savings/mo
Bill ₱12K–₱20K/mo10 kWpEst. ₱8,000–₱12,500 savings/mo
Net metering is available for systems up to 100 kW under the ERC Net Metering Program. Most residential Meralco customers fall between 3 kWp and 10 kWp. SolarPro Install determines your optimal system size during the free site assessment based on your actual Meralco consumption data and roof conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Installation for Meralco Customers
Do I need a Meralco-accredited installer?
Yes. To complete grid interconnection within the Meralco franchise area and qualify for net metering, your installer must be Meralco-accredited. Installing without an accredited installer risks safety violations and disqualifies your system from earning bill credits.
Can I install solar and not register with Meralco?
Technically possible for off-grid systems, but any grid-tied system operating within the Meralco franchise area without proper registration is a safety risk to you and your neighbors. It also forfeits all net metering credits. SolarPro Install does not install grid-tied systems without completing full Meralco registration.
How much can I save on my Meralco bill with solar?
A properly sized solar system reduces most Meralco residential bills by 50 to 80 percent. A 5 kWp system saves approximately ₱3,500 to ₱5,500 per month. Exact savings depend on system size, roof orientation, and daily consumption patterns.
What is the maximum solar system size for Meralco net metering?
The ERC Net Metering Program allows systems up to 100 kW (AC output) for Meralco customers. Most residential systems are 3 kWp to 10 kWp. Commercial systems up to 100 kW also qualify.
What areas does SolarPro Install serve within the Meralco franchise?
We serve all Meralco-covered areas in Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, and Bulacan — including all municipalities and cities within these provinces that receive electricity from Meralco.
