Loren Legarda and renewables", more than 2 years ago it was P4,900. Copy-pasting the comment:<br /><br />Anonymous said...<br />"My first experience with "retail" solar power was after typhoon Yolanda in the form of a portable solar power kit bought from Cdr King to provide us with light during the very dark nights. The power kit is "plug and play" consisting of two 3 watts LED 12V DC bulbs and a USB terminal that could charge a cellphone. The 12AH built-in battery is being charged during day time by a 20 watts solar panel. That was more than two years ago and now and the said solar power kit (now with a new battery) is still providing us with light during brownouts. The cost of the said power kit is less than Php 4,900.00 and yes, it is made in China!<br /><br />The two 3 watts LED bulbs was used for 10 hours every night, so 6 watts x 10 hrs = 60 watt-hour / 1000 = 0.06 kilowatt-hr x 10pesos = 0.60 centavos. Therefore, our local electric company was losing sixty centavos every night because am not using their electricity (or they have no electricity).<br /><br />What is my point? The solar power kit is just providing me with sixty centavos worth of electricity every night but I prepaid Php 4,900.00 for it. Imagine if 1 million persons bought it. That would be 4.9 billion pesos business, just for a portable solar power kit. I think, "retail" solar power business is a new business opportunity that China and Leandro Legarda Leviste sees first. Therefore, like you, the good senator is not interested in winning the debate; because she has other business interests to think about."Bienvenido Oplas Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799756132761366267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17839575.post-59285094417611632502016-03-12T12:07:40.927+08:002016-03-12T12:07:40.927+08:00Sir, I think you failed to notice cdrking.com and ...Sir, I think you failed to notice cdrking.com and its division solarquestph.com. IMO, they are the ones who really introduced “retail solar power” and made solar power a consumer item in the Philippines. If were not for the availability of solar products in their provincial branches, the price of even a small solar setup will not be affordable. Now, you can easily DIY a small off-grid setup or buy a "plug and play" solar generator for as low as Php 3,000.00. For this, I personally thank cdr king for providing me the tools and materials that enable me to DIY my own electricity at an affordable cost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
