RESEARCH & EVIDENCE

Know what the evidence
actually establishes.

Hospital solar research led by Dr. Andrie Udal, PhD in Mineral and Energy Economics. Sources, assumptions, and unanswered questions belong alongside every conclusion.

ERC Licensed RES List

56 ERC-licensed Retail Electricity Suppliers: 54 from the July 2025 retail market statistical report plus 2 newly licensed since, with licence expiry and status flags. SolarMD is not a RES.

OUR EVIDENCE STANDARD

Separate the record from the claim.

Our source review covers government and hospital publications, supplier and manufacturer reports, social posts, and research. It is a review of documentary evidence, not an independent engineering certification or a complete census of all Philippine hospital solar systems.

StatusWhat it means
Documented installation evidenceA source supports installation or a completed project. Current operation, measured performance, and full solar coverage are separate questions.
Ongoing projectA source describes work in progress. It is excluded from the documented installation count until completion is established.
Signed agreementA contract or partnership has been reported. Signing does not establish installation.
Tender / procurementEvidence concerns a bid, procurement, or project planning. Completion requires further evidence.
UnconfirmedThe available record does not establish installation, or the facility or scope remains unclear.

Date discipline: an installation, commissioning, turnover, or inauguration date is labelled for the event the source establishes. When the installation date is unknown, we say so. Source publication dates and evidence of operation by a date are not treated as installation dates.

Scope: 13 Mindanao hospitals are included within the 56 nationwide records. The 22 additional leads below and eight other solar-related entries outside the hospital installation scope are excluded. Current operation and full solar coverage have not been independently verified.

Relationships: research inclusion does not establish a SolarMD client relationship, installer endorsement, or ownership of the project.

Corrections: send a source link and the hospital name to relations@solarmd.net. We will review the evidence before changing the record.

TRACKED SEPARATELY

RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE

See if your site qualifies for Zero Capex solar.

Commercial and industrial businesses with a monthly electricity bill of ₱1.2 million and up (about 100,000 kWh a month), including hospitals, can apply. Share your bills and we’ll check your site. This research is public data on Philippine solar sites, kept separate from SolarMD’s own Mindanao portfolio.

ABOUT THE DATA

How we use this research

Public data

Sources are published records, news and installer pages, cited in each entry.

Not our projects

Listings are research data. They do not indicate a SolarMD client or project.

Better questions

The data helps sites ask sharper questions about proposals and performance.

Solar at ₱0 upfront for your site

Commercial and industrial businesses with a monthly electricity bill of ₱1.2 million and up (about 100,000 kWh a month), including hospitals, can apply for a 15- to 25-year SolarMD solar PPA. For ₱1.2M+ monthly bills, ask about the PPA-RES Combo.

Savings are dependent on your rooftop size. SolarMD is not a bank, not the EPC and not an RES. Every offer depends on a site assessment, a credit review and a signed contract.
