A GUIDE FOR CUSTOMERS OF
Cebu I, II & III Electric Cooperatives
Solar installation, configuration and after-sales support by Cheap Solar Cebu. Utility names and logos identify service providers; no affiliation or endorsement.
A SOLAR PLAN THAT STARTS WITH YOU
Three cooperatives. A plan for your property.
CEBECO I, CEBECO II and CEBECO III are separate electric cooperatives serving different parts of Cebu. Start with the exact name on your electricity bill: it identifies the cooperative to contact about your connection, service notices and solar interconnection.
A household in Carcar, a small shop in Bogo and a home in Toledo can have very different priorities. Your proposal should balance daytime electricity use with the appliances you want to support during an interruption. Roof space alone cannot tell you how much backup you need.
SMALL ESSENTIALS. A BIG DIFFERENCE.

an illustrative battery runtime.

16.0 hours
At 225 W continuous demand
Assumes a full charge, 80% usable capacity, 90% conversion efficiency and no solar recharging. Inverter standby consumption is excluded.
Capacity × 1,000 × 0.8 × 0.9 ÷ watts
An energy illustration, not guaranteed backup. A site assessment must check inverter power limits, motor starting demand, reserve settings and the circuits connected for backup.
The refrigerator is treated as running continuously; real cycling changes runtime and startup surges are excluded. Powering a router does not guarantee service from your internet provider.
THE LOCAL PICTURE · CEBECO
Brownout planning starts with the essentials.
On 11 September 2026, the Philippine Information Agency explained that supply shortfalls had prompted rotational interruptions in parts of Cebu. That dated report describes the regional situation then; it is not a live schedule or a prediction for your barangay.
Check your own cooperative’s official advisories for affected areas and restoration updates. At home, decide what an interruption would disrupt first: food refrigeration, evening lighting, a work laptop or a water pump. A battery can support selected circuits when paired with suitable backup equipment; ordinary grid-tied solar alone shuts down when the grid fails.

CEBECO II · Northern Cebu
The cooperative lists Danao and Bogo, plus eleven municipalities including Compostela, Carmen, Catmon, Sogod, Borbon, Tabogon, Medellin, Daanbantayan, San Remigio, Tabuelan and Tuburan.
03
CEBECO III · Western Cebu
Its official coverage map identifies Toledo City, Aloguinsan, Pinamungajan, Balamban and Asturias. Use the provider shown on your bill to confirm the connection for your specific property.
EXPORT CREDITS & BACKUP POWER
Net metering goes through your own cooperative.
Net metering concerns approved electricity exports and bill credits. It does not provide backup power; discuss that requirement separately with your designer.
CEBECO I publishes its own application forms and process, including inspection, testing and metering. Its application states that on-grid operation requires interconnection approval. CEBECO II and III customers should obtain their own cooperative’s current requirements. Request a proposal that identifies responsibility for permits, utility coordination and commissioning, without assuming the same checklist or approval time for all three.
BEFORE YOUR SITE ASSESSMENT
Bring the right bill
Use a recent bill from CEBECO I, II or III and note your daytime routines. Monthly consumption helps size generation; it does not establish how much power your essential circuits need at once.
Separate essential loads
List the lights, fans, refrigeration and work equipment you need. Pumps and compressors need particular attention because starting demand can exceed running power. Ask for a written list of the circuits included in backup.
Agree on a backup target
Tell your designer how many backup hours you need. Request an appliance-based runtime estimate with its assumptions clearly stated.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Solar for CEBECO.
Your questions, answered.
Know what to ask before
you make your decision.
01Which CEBECO should I select for my solar estimate?
Choose CEBECO I, II or III exactly as printed on your bill. The shared name does not mean the cooperatives have identical rates, application documents or outage notices.
02Where can I check the CEBECO brownout schedule?
Follow your cooperative’s official website and linked Facebook page: CEBECO I, CEBECO II Official or CEBECO III Toledo. Check the date and affected feeder or barangay; this page does not publish live outage information.
03Will solar keep my CEBECO-connected home on during a brownout?
Ordinary grid-tied solar will not. Ask for the battery-backed circuits described above, and have the supported appliances listed in your proposal.
04Can a battery support a water pump or freezer?
Ask your designer to assess its starting demand and required runtime. Share the appliance ratings instead of assuming it fits a standard package.
05Is Cheap Solar Cebu part of CEBECO?
No. Cheap Solar Cebu is independent of CEBECO I, II and III. The cooperative names and logos identify the customers this guide is for; they do not indicate a partnership or endorsement.

Illustrative three-bedroom villa using the house appliance preset and a ₱12,000 starting monthly bill. Uses the site's CEBECO I default of ₱13.96/kWh (Jun 2026), not a live tariff. Assumes 1,350 kWh/kWp/year, sufficient unshaded roof space and approved net metering with exports credited at 55% of the modelled retail rate. Includes solar and battery backup; essential circuits require a site assessment. Monthly savings are rounded to the nearest ₱100 and may include export credits; the estimated remaining monthly cost is the starting bill less those savings. Actual bills, fixed charges, weather and usage vary. Installed costs are indicative and exclude the INTRO discount.
