| Abstract | Due to the recurring power interruptions and the increasing monthly electricity rates in Metro Manila, residents and business owners need to start using renewable energy. Solar photovoltaic (PV) is the most viable and widely available source of energy. To quantify the benefits of using solar PV systems, the performance of a 3 kWp grid-tied photovoltaic system with back-up battery bank installed in a commercial water refilling station was monitored and analyzed. The battery bank provided an uninterrupted source of energy. The calculations for the monthly savings and the potential rebates of the establishment if net metering were applied are included. Despite negative effects due to the nonimplementation of the net metering scheme, the grid-tied PV system significantly reduced the monthly electricity bill by 50%. Information obtained within the 3-month duration of the study was used to make necessary modifications in the system. |
