Solar for Every Barangay Facility

From a single barangay hall to a fully electrified island community — SolarStream scales to meet your community's energy needs.

Barangay Hall & Multipurpose Center

Power lights, fans, office equipment, PA systems, and CCTV for barangay governance facilities — 24/7 with battery backup.

Rural Health Units & BHS Clinics

Reliable power for medical refrigerators (vaccine storage), lighting, and medical equipment in barangay health stations.

Public Schools & Day Care Centers

Solar lighting and fans for classrooms, reducing DepEd utility costs and ensuring learning is not disrupted by brownouts.

Water Systems & Pumping Stations

Solar-powered Level II and Level III water systems — eliminating electricity costs for community water supply pumping.

Solar Street Lighting

Standalone solar street lights for barangay roads and pathways — no wiring, no electricity cost, automatic dusk-to-dawn operation.

Household Electrification

Complete community solar microgrids to electrify off-grid sitios and island barangays with no connection to the national grid.

When the Typhoon Hits —
Your Covered Court Saves Lives.

Every Philippine barangay knows the drill: when Signal No. 3 is raised, families flee to the covered court. But when power lines fall, the evacuation center goes dark — and that's when solar becomes the difference between a safe shelter and a helpless one.

Signal No. 3 Raised Families evacuate to the barangay covered court. Hundreds of residents — elderly, children, pregnant women — seek shelter.
Grid Power Goes Down Typhoon-force winds topple power lines across the barangay. The evacuation center loses all electricity — within minutes.
Solar Keeps the Lights On A SolarStream solar + LiFePO4 battery system automatically switches to battery — no interruption. The covered court stays powered for 24–48+ hours.

What Solar Powers During a Typhoon Evacuation

Emergency Lighting

Full LED lighting throughout the covered court — no candles, no panic in the dark. Bright, stable light for 400+ evacuees throughout the night.

Water Pumping

Solar powers the community water pump — ensuring evacuees have access to clean drinking water, cooking water, and sanitation even when the grid is down.

Phone Charging Station

A solar-powered charging station keeps hundreds of phones alive — letting families contact relatives, receive government alerts, and call for emergency help.

Communication Equipment

Powers the barangay PA system, ham radio, CDRRMO communication equipment, and CCTV — keeping barangay officials in full command during the emergency.

Medical Equipment

Keeps the barangay health station's medical refrigerator (medicines, vaccines), suction machines, nebulizers, and emergency lighting operational throughout the storm.

Fans & Ventilation

Runs electric fans across the packed covered court — reducing heat stress, especially for elderly evacuees and young children during extended shelter stays.

The harsh reality of diesel during typhoons

Generator-dependent barangays face a critical problem during typhoons: fuel deliveries stop, fuel stocks run out within 12–24 hours, and generator maintenance in wet conditions is dangerous. Solar + battery has no moving parts, no fuel, and no dependency on supply chains — exactly what a disaster scenario demands.

Community Solar Questions Answered

Yes. SolarStream designs solar microgrids for Philippine barangays — from powering the barangay hall and health center to full community electrification for off-grid sitios and island barangays. Solar microgrids can operate completely independently from the national grid.
A barangay hall and health center solar system starts at approximately ₱500,000–₱1,500,000. A full community microgrid for 50–200 households typically ranges from ₱5M–₱30M depending on the number of households, location, and energy demand. SolarStream provides free feasibility studies for LGUs and barangay officials.
Yes. Solar microgrids with LiFePO4 battery storage are the most cost-effective replacement for diesel generators in remote Philippine communities. Diesel fuel logistics in remote areas are extremely expensive — solar eliminates all ongoing fuel costs after the initial installation.
Yes. The Department of Energy (DOE) has missionary electrification programs under the National Electrification Administration (NEA) and the Missionary Electrification Development Plan (MEDP). Various LGU and DILG programs may also provide funding for community solar. SolarStream helps LGUs navigate these programs.
Solar can power all community facilities: barangay halls, rural health units, public schools, water pumping stations, street lighting, public markets, and full residential electrification for off-grid households.
