History of the Association of Solar Installers of the Philippines (ASIP)
Humble Beginnings: A Community Built on Passion
The Association of Solar Installers of the Philippines (ASIP) traces its roots to a small but passionate group of solar energy enthusiasts who connected through social media in the early 2010s. At a time when solar power was still emerging in the Philippines, these pioneers—many of whom started with basic DIY solar setups shared knowledge, troubleshooting tips, and innovations in online forums and Facebook and other social media groups.
What began as informal discussions soon grew into a movement. Members exchanged ideas on off-grid systems, battery storage, and affordable solar solutions, helping one another overcome challenges in installation, sourcing materials, and understanding regulations.
From Hobbyists to Professionals: The Rise of Solar Entrepreneurs
As demand for renewable energy increased, many members transitioned from hobbyists to full-fledged solar professionals. Some started small businesses, offering installation services, while others grew into full-scale solar companies providing end-to-end solutions from residential rooftop systems to commercial and industrial projects.
The need for standardization, quality assurance, and industry collaboration became evident. Recognizing this, key leaders in the community came together to formally establish ASIP, unifying solar installers under a shared vision:
ASIP Today: A Strong, Unified Voice for Solar Energy
Since its official founding, ASIP has grown into a respected association, partnering with government agencies, private sector stakeholders, and international organizations to advance solar energy in the Philippines. Key milestones include:
The Future: Powering a Sustainable Philippines
From a simple online group to a driving force in the renewable energy sector, ASIP remains committed to its mission: making solar energy accessible, affordable, and reliable for every Filipino.
As we look ahead, we continue to expand our reach, innovate with new technologies, and empower more Filipinos to harness the sun’s power—for a cleaner, brighter, and energy-independent future.
