Why Solar Makes Sense in Los Baños

Los Baños is a university and research community in Laguna, home to the University of the Philippines Los Baños campus, the International Rice Research Institute, and several other academic and scientific institutions. The municipality has a large population of faculty, researchers, and staff residing in campus communities and surrounding residential barangays, all served by Meralco. Institutional and residential electricity loads in Los Baños are high and consistent, making solar a strong financial investment for both property types.

Los Baños sits along the southern shore of Laguna de Bay and receives solar irradiance of 5.0 to 5.2 kWh per square meter per day. A 5 kWp residential system generates approximately 600 to 630 kWh per month, delivering Meralco bill savings of ₱3,500 to ₱5,500 monthly at current rates. Academic and research institutions with large roof areas and continuous daytime loads are strong candidates for commercial systems from 20 kWp to 100 kWp.
