Project Summary
Urdaneta Village in Makati carries one of the highest land values in the Philippines. When the Chu family began planning their new residence there, the ambition was clear: a home built to last, with every major system designed in from the start rather than retrofitted after the fact.
Solaren was brought in at the planning stage, working alongside the project architects and construction managers before a single slab was poured. That early involvement changed what was possible. Cable routes were built into the structure, the electrical riser was designed around a three-phase solar array from day one, and the EV charging bay was provisioned with a dedicated circuit drawn directly from the main distribution board rather than tapped off an existing line. The 22 kW AC charger the family specified needs that kind of clean, isolated supply to perform consistently.
The result is a 40.25 kWp three-phase system that fits the residence the way it was always meant to. No exposed conduit, no compromised rooflines, no afterthoughts. For a home at this level, that is the only acceptable standard.
When the investment in a property is this significant, the case for residential solar in the Philippines is not just about electricity bills. It is about protecting and extending the value of what you have built.
