SolarStream installs complete hybrid solar systems for Bacolod City homes, commercial buildings, and Negros Occidental haciendas. End-to-end service: assessment, permits, installation, CENECO net metering, and lifetime support.
Bacolod City and Negros Occidental have two distinct solar opportunities: dense urban residential and commercial properties in the city, and vast agricultural landholdings — haciendas, poultry farms, and rice mills — across the province that can massively benefit from solar energy.
A correctly sized hybrid system eliminates the variable portion of your monthly CENECO bill — leaving only the minimal fixed charge.
Power irrigation pumps, milling equipment, cold storage, and farm facilities with clean solar energy — eliminating diesel generator dependence.
LiFePO4 hybrid batteries switch to backup power in under 20ms — protecting homes and farm operations from CENECO outages.
We can guide you through the CENECO cooperative net metering process — from engineering plans to the final bidirectional meter scheduling.
Central Negros Electric Cooperative (CENECO) serves Bacolod City and surrounding municipalities. Rates average ₱11–₱13/kWh in 2026. Negros Occidental's economy — dominated by sugarcane, agro-industry, and a growing BPO sector — creates a strong solar case for farms, mills, and commercial buildings. Agricultural consumers face higher demand charges during harvest season, making on-site generation particularly valuable.
Bacolod's residential solar market has grown rapidly in 2025–2026, driven by CENECO rate increases and the province's excellent solar irradiance (average 5.2 peak sun hours daily). Farm owners in Talisay, Silay, and Murcia are increasingly pairing solar with agricultural loads — reducing diesel pump costs and cutting irrigation electricity bills by 60–80%.
Solar drastically cuts operational overhead for Negros haciendas by powering irrigation pumps, sugarcane milling equipment, and cold storage directly during peak sun hours. This reduces expensive CENECO demand charges and displaces the heavy cost of running diesel generators, achieving payback in just 3-4 years.
We've completed over 20 installations since 2024. Here are a few examples of local residential and business setups currently saving money on their CENECO bills.
System: 6KW
Hybrid | Panels: 10x 620W LONGI
This sprawling home in Talisay relied heavily on air
conditioning, suffering from high CENECO tier rates. Our 6KW hybrid array slashed their bill instantly.
System: 10KW
Hybrid | Battery: 15kWh LiFePO4
A local establishment struggling with peak daytime cooling
and intermittent brownouts. The 10KW system handles their units, completely isolating them from CENECO price
hikes.
Starting from ₱150,000 all-in. Every package includes Tier-1 panels, hybrid inverter, LiFePO4 battery, mounting, LGU permit guidance, and CENECO net metering guidance.
