READ | Statement on the Proposed Mandatory Product Certification of Solar Energy Systems

As more Filipino families, businesses, and communities turn to solar power to lower electricity costs and secure a more stable energy future, it is important that the products entering the Philippine market are safe, reliable, and built to last.

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)’s proposed regulation seeks to ensure that solar energy systems sold in the country comply with Philippine National Standards (PNS). This is about protecting Filipino consumers from low-quality and potentially unsafe products that may fail after only a short period of use or put homes and establishments at risk.

The proposed mandatory product certification also aims to prevent the Philippines from becoming a dumping ground for substandard solar products rejected by other countries. By upholding clear quality standards, the government seeks to give Filipinos greater confidence that the solar systems they invest in are durable, properly tested, and capable of delivering real savings over the long term.

The DTI clarified that the proposed regulation will recognize test reports issued by accredited and recognized testing laboratories. It also does not cover the installation or mounting of solar energy systems.

As the country continues its transition toward cleaner and more affordable energy, ensuring the quality and safety of solar products is critical to protecting consumers, strengthening trust in renewable energy, and supporting the sustainable growth of the solar industry in the Philippines.

The DTI remains open to suggestions, comments, and feedback on the proposed regulation. Stakeholders and members of the public may submit their inputs to [email protected] until 25 July 2026.
