Power Through Brownouts & Soak Up the Sun: New Hybrid Inverter Launches in the Philippines to Slash Electric Bills

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – June 9, 2026 – In a country where tropical heat meets frequent voltage dips and island-wide power interruptions, a new energy solution has arrived. Today, local renewable energy advocates and installers gathered at a live demonstration event in Quezon City to unveil the EM Series Off-Grid Hybrid Inverter – a device designed to turn the Philippines’ relentless sunshine into round-the-clock, money-saving electricity.

“We’ve seen too many families waste fuel on noisy generators or suffer spoiled food during blackouts,” said Mr. Dante Rivera, a lead engineer for a local solar integration group. “This inverter changes the game. It works even without a battery, so every peso invested in solar panels is used immediately.”

Built for the Filipino Home

The new EM Series (available from 1.5KW to 6.2KW) is engineered specifically for the unique challenges of the Philippine grid and environment:

• Ultra-wide PV input (60-500Vdc) – Starts charging early in the morning and continues late into the afternoon, perfect for cloudy days after a monsoon shower.

• Lithium battery activation – Can revive dormant LiFePO4 batteries using only solar or utility power, a feature that saves costly battery replacements.

• Detachable dust cover – Protects internal components from the infamous Philippine dust and humidity, ideal for provinces and farm areas.

• Works without a battery – During daytime, solar power directly runs aircons, refrigerators, and pumps – cutting grid dependence instantly.

No More "Rotating Brownouts"

With MPPT solar charge currents up to 120A and AC charge currents up to 80A, the EM Series supports multiple output priorities (UTL, SOL, SBU, SUB). Households can program it to prioritize solar first, then battery, then grid – ensuring that during evening brownouts, a fully charged battery keeps lights, fans, and Wi-Fi running.

“My only wish is to not wake up to a dead phone and a melted refrigerator,” said Mrs. Corazon Gomez, a resident of Bulacan who attended the launch. “If this inverter can give me that peace of mind and lower my monthly bill, I want one before the next typhoon season.”

Affordable Power Independence

The Philippine average electricity rate remains among the highest in Asia. By harvesting free solar energy with up to 96% peak efficiency (PV to inverter) and a pure sine wave output safe for all appliances, the EM Series promises a return on investment in as little as two to three years.

The inverter also features RS485 communication for lithium battery management, optional WiFi remote monitoring – allowing users to check system status from a smartphone – and a built-in EQ function to extend battery life.

Availability

The EM Series is now being distributed through major renewable energy partners across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. A typical 3.5KW system can power a medium-sized home with aircon, TV, lights, and a refrigerator during an outage.
