Solar Savings Bill Breakdown

Compare a modeled Meralco bill before solar with the charges solar may reduce after installation, and the charges that usually stay.

Your Meralco Bill

Total Monthly Bill₱4,500

Monthly Consumption (optional — from bill stub)

kWh

If left blank, kWh is estimated from your bill with the decoder's partial blended-rate model.

Note: Meralco rates change monthly. This breakdown uses April 2026 rates (generation and transmission updated; other components pending full advisory). It is a planning estimate, not an official bill replica. Confirm with your latest billing statement for precision.

Data sources and cutoff

Solar Savings Bill Breakdown

Bill breakdown cutoff: April 2026 (partial)

Sources used

Meralco April 2026 rate advisory — generation charge (₱8.3864/kWh) and transmission delta (−₱0.0656/kWh) updated; system loss, distribution, and other charges pending full April advisory PDF

Important limitations

The bill breakdown estimates line items from the entered bill amount when actual kWh is not supplied.
Monthly Meralco bill components can change; generation and transmission reflect April 2026 advisories, other components reflect prior advisory values.
The line-item split is a modeled planning breakdown, not an official Meralco statement reconstruction.

User-entered inputs

Results depend on the total bill amount and optional kWh value entered by the user.

Your mileage may vary

Actual results may vary. Roof direction, pitch, shading, usable area, roof condition, structural capacity, wind exposure, local weather, equipment choice, utility approval, and your real consumption pattern can materially change cost, output, savings, and payback. Use this as a planning estimate, not a final quote or engineering assessment.
