How to Compare Solar Quotes in Quezon City (Scorecard)
A scorecard approach so the lowest PDF does not automatically win — and the best long-term install does.
Last updated: July 2026 · Figures are typical Quezon City residential / light-commercial ranges and can move with equipment markets and Meralco rates.
Direct answer: score scope and trust before peso rank
To compare solar quotes in Quezon City, normalize each offer to the same kWp and equipment tier, then score completeness of permits/NMP, warranty clarity, roof assumptions, and after-sales — with price as only one weight. A bid that is 8% higher but includes OBO + Meralco paperwork and a real workmanship warranty often wins lifetime cost. Tools: itemized breakdown, hidden costs, cost bands.
Normalization steps
- Same DC kWp (±0.3 kWp).
- Same storage assumption (none vs same kWh).
- Same roof type notes.
- Convert to ₱/kWp turnkey.
- List exclusions in one table.
Suggested scorecard weights
| Criterion | Weight | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Scope completeness | 25% | Permits, NMP, monitoring, commissioning |
| Equipment clarity | 15% | Named module/inverter classes |
| ₱/kWp value | 20% | Inside QC market bands |
| Warranty & response | 15% | Three layers + contact path |
| Design quality | 15% | Shade, roof, expansion notes |
| Timeline realism | 10% | 4–8 week honesty vs fantasy |
Tie-breakers
Prefer the contractor who explains DIS timing, HOA packets, and monitoring handover without hand-waving. Local QC focus helps logistics — residential service, coverage across all barangays.
Frequently asked questions
How many quotes do I need?
Two is minimum, three is better. More than four often adds noise unless scopes diverge wildly.
