So . As we all know, the world might be fighting for resource scraps anytime now so I thought it's time to get solar panels and a solar power bank.

Soo the fist question is, what's the best solar panel for the Philippines?

Any links would be greatly appreciated

Is solar worth it? Yes, wer'e running out resources

Just coming in to say, solar is worth it. Every bit of it. the price of energy will skyrocket soon, by 2050, we will be hitting all time lows so best get prepared.

The Philippines is dangerously dependent on imported fuel. That doesn’t magically improve by 2050 unless major reforms happen.

Imported oil + gas = instantly vulnerable to global price spikes.
Coal dependence stays expensive as other countries phase it out.
Weak grids + slow renewable rollout = chronic instability and high costs.

By 2050, expect:

Electricity bills that can jump overnight from global shocks.
Rolling blackouts in poorly upgraded regions.
Diesel and gas prices swinging like a yo-yo during geopolitical crises.

Don't believe me? Check out the attachment on this post . if you want to make the best envestment for your home, id be looking into solar way before 2050

thank me later 🙏
