When a worldclass electronics manufacturer invests in clean energy, it sends a clear signal to Philippine industry: solar is now a smart, bankable part of the costcontrol playbook. That’s why we’re excited to share our partnership with Ionics EMS, Inc.—a pioneering EMS company with over four decades of experience serving global OEMs from its Laguna facilities.
Why this partnership matters to Philippine Businesses
Ionics EMS operates multiple plants in the Light Industry & Science Park (LISP) corridor of Laguna—home to some of the country’s most energyintensive manufacturers. Their footprint includes Plants 5 and 6 in Cabuyao, Laguna,
In April 2025, Ionics disclosed plans to install rooftop solar across its Plants 2, 5 and 6—an investment expected to cut grid consumption and advance its sustainability goals. That commitment aligns well with Netsolar’s mission to design, deliver and maintain highperforming solar systems for Philippine commercial and industrial (C&I) sites.
What Netsolar brings to the table?
Proven C&I track record in PH. Netsolar has completed multimegawatt projects for large manufacturers—including industrial installations such as Alaska Milk Corporation in San Pedro, Laguna—giving us practical, local experience with factory roofs, complex interconnections and tight production schedules.
Endtoend delivery. From feasibility and detailed engineering to permitting, build, testing, commissioning, and operations & maintenance, Netsolar executes full turnkey EPC so your team can stay focused on core operations.
Alwayson transparency. With modulelevel monitoring, owners get realtime performance visibility via web and mobile—useful for multishift plants managing energy across lines and buildings.
Financing options. We offer paths that can minimize or defer capex, helping projects move forward without straining budgets.
Why C&I solar makes sense in the Philippines—right now
Regulatory tailwinds. The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) expanded netmetering coverage to systems up to 1 MW in late 2022, opening the door for larger rooftop projects at factories and estates. The DOE has also moved to further streamline and enhance the program, including improving credit rollover rules—good news for businesses that export excess daytime generation.
Growing adoption and maturity. Netmetering usage has surged nationwide as more endusers tap rooftops to offset daytime loads—evidence that the process and technology are working at scale.
How the Netsolar × Ionics EMS initiative helps set the bar
Lower, more predictable operating costs. Rooftop solar directly targets daytime consumption—often the most expensive energy a plant buys—helping hedge against future rate movements.
Sustainability with substance. Factoryscale PV reduces Scope 2 emissions and supports supplier and export requirements for greener production. Ionics’ move demonstrates leadership among PH manufacturers.
A replicable model for industrial parks. LISPstyle estates across Laguna, Cavite and Batangas share similar roof structures and interconnection setups—making this approach adaptable for many C&I sites.
