 MARKET STUDY
1. MARKET DESCRIPTION
- Solarya: Solars parts and Services operates as a regional provider within the Cagayan
Valley, with to deliver solar products and services across all municipalities.
2. TARGET MARKET
- in order to have a clear approach to the target market, Solarya: Solars parts and
Services can classify its clients in several categories. Such as residential costumers,
commercial customers, and industrial costumers.
3. SUPPLY SITUATION AND PROJECTED DEMAND
- There is still a limited supply of solar panel systems in the Cagayan Valley area, with
only a few small-to-medium-sized enterprises actually offering solar products and
services. The majority of the solar technology used, such as panels and inverters, is
imported and shipped either from local hardware providers or directly procured from
leading distributors in Metro Manila. Domestic fabrication of solar panels does not exist,
leaving the area very much dependent on imported goods from sources such as China,
Japan, and Europe. Government support is increasing incrementally, however. Projects
launched by the Department of Energy (DOE) and local government units have promoted
rural electrification through the use of renewable energy, particularly in far-flung
barangays.
The need for solar energy systems in Cagayan Valley is increasing fast because of some
important factors. Exorbitant electricity rates in the area are encouraging households and
enterprises to find cheaper alternatives. Furthermore, since Cagayan Valley is mostly an
agricultural province, solar-powered irrigation, cold storage rooms, and post-harvest
facilities become a necessity for farm communities. Off-grid as well as geographically
remote areas are also a huge share of the market since these communities do not have
access to the primary power grid or experience frequent power outages. Urban household
consumers in cities such as Tuguegarao and Santiago are also becoming more interested
in rooftop solar installations, particularly with the assistance of net metering policies.
The demand for solar panel systems in the region is forecasted to increase by around 12
to 15 percent each year. This expansion is consistent with the objectives of the Philippine
Energy Plan, which targets an increased contribution of renewables to the country's
energy mix by 2030. With increasing awareness of the long-term advantages and cost-
effectiveness of solar power, demand is expected to double over the next five to ten
years. This is a significant opportunity for businesses and entrepreneurs to fill the gap in
the market. There is a significant demand for local providers that can provide high-
quality, affordable solar products bundled with professional installation and good after-
sales service, especially in underserved municipalities and rural areas.
4. Supply Situation and Projected Supply
 Supply Situation and Future Supply (Cagayan Valley Region – Solar Panel Business)
Since there are no official statistical figures available for Region II, we estimated the
solar-related business supply capacity based on local observation in the market,
interviewing local installers, and public business listing. Current Supply Situation (2024
Estimate – Cagayan Valley) Cagayan Valley, which includes the provinces of Cagayan,
Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, and Batanes, is experiencing rising demand for solar
energy systems with rising electricity prices and good climatic conditions (high solar
irradiance). There are around 5 to 10 active solar installers in the area, who are mostly
small to mid-scale businesses. Typically, a local installer within the area can
accommodate 100 kWp to 300 kWp of solar projects every year. Altogether, the region's
present overall solar supply/installation capacity is appraised at 1.5 to 2 MWp annually
(residential, agricultural pumps, and small commercial projects). Most suppliers obtain
their solar panels and inverters from Manila-based distributors or directly import from
Korea or China. Local stock and warehousing are low, and hence longer project lead
times. Projected Supply Capacity (2025–2027) With increasing knowledge of renewable
energy, the local supply capacity is anticipated to rise progressively over the coming
three years:
2025: Estimated total supply capacity can go up to 2.2 to 2.5 MWp/year due to new
players and development of local electricians into solar installers. 2026: Capacity can be
expected to reach 3.0 to 3.5 MWp/year, with local governments and cooperatives likely
to adopt solar for public facilities. 2027: With possible national and LGU incentives,
capacity can increase to 4.5 to 5 MWp/year, including community-level installations and
solar-powered agriculture projects. Opportunities There remains a large supply-demand
gap in the region, particularly in off-grid barangays, agricultural communities, and
medium-sized enterprises. This provides a high potential for a new entrant to provide
dependable, locally rooted services with lower lead times and affordable after-sales
support.
5. Demand-Supply Situation, Projected and Market Share
- The existing supply of solar panel systems in the Cagayan Valley area
is still limited, with only a few small-to-medium enterprises actively
offering solar products and services. Most solar technology, such as
panels and inverters, are imported and distributed either through
local hardware suppliers or directly from major distributors in Metro
Manila. Local production of solar panels is zero, and the area is
therefore highly dependent on foreign imports, mainly from China,
Japan, and Europe. Government assistance has been consistently
rising, though. Initiatives by the Department of Energy (DOE) and
local government units have promoted rural electrification through
renewable energy, particularly in far-flung barangays.
 Solar energy systems in Cagayan Valley are in high demand, and this
is increasing very fast for a number of major reasons. The high cost of
electricity in the area is driving residential and commercial consumers
to look for cheaper options. Furthermore, since Cagayan Valley is a
primarily agricultural area, solar-powered irrigation systems, cold
storage facilities, and post-harvest structures are becoming crucial for
farm communities. Off-grid and remote locations also account for a
major chunk of the market, as these communities have either no
access to the primary power grid or experience frequent power
outages. Urban households in cities such as Tuguegarao and Santiago
are also increasingly expressing interest in rooftop solar installations,
particularly with the backing of net metering policies.

Demand for solar panel systems in the country is forecasted to

increase by about 12 to 15 percent each year. This growth is in
support of the Philippine Energy Plan vision of a higher penetration of
renewables in the country's energy mix by 2030. With increasing
awareness of the long-term advantages and cost savings of solar
energy, demand will likely double within the next five to ten years.
This offers a large opportunity for local businesses and entrepreneurs
to bridge this gap in the market. A strong demand for local providers
to provide affordable and high-quality solar products with expert
installation and proper after-sales care exists, mainly in underserved
municipalities and in rural areas.
