The 34.8 kWp Uycana Residence system in Tarlac City was deliberately designed as a pure grid-tied installation rather than a battery system. Grid supply at the property is reliable, so the design priority was to use net metering efficiently: produce more solar energy than the house needs during parts of the day and use the resulting export credits to offset substantial nighttime consumption.

That strategy has worked in practice. The property is fully net metered and has achieved zero electricity bills over an extended period since commissioning. The residence has a relatively high load, including air-conditioning, pool pumps and normal household consumption, but the system was intentionally sized to create daytime surplus rather than simply follow the instantaneous daytime load.

The main house has a clay-tile roof, which the owner preferred not to use for the solar installation. Solaren instead installed the array on a newer gazebo-type building within the grounds, avoiding the tiled roof and providing an unshaded mounting area. The original SMA inverters and Sunova bifacial modules remain in service, and system performance has been excellent.
