Philippines streamlines zero-export and micro-solar rules

The new Streamlined SGF ZESS and MSS Policy creates clearer routes for consumers installing solar systems that do not intentionally export power to the grid. Self-Generating Facilities Zero-Export Solar Systems may be grid-connected with isolation controls or operate off-grid, while Micro-Solar Systems can use panels up to 1,000 W with micro-inverters limited to 800 W and anti-islanding protection. The policy is important for distributed solar because it reduces procedural friction for behind-the-meter adoption while protecting distribution networks from uncontrolled exports.
