What Comes After ‘Best’? How PHILERGY German Solar Plans to Raise the Bar Again

When PHILERGY German Solar was named “Solar Company of the Year” by the 2024 International Business Magazine Awards, it wasn’t just another feather in its cap—it was a powerful affirmation of its leadership in the country’s fast-growing solar energy space.

For over a decade, PHILERGY German Solar has been reshaping the way Filipinos think about solar energy, one installation at a time. With more than 3,000 systems installed across homes and businesses nationwide, the company has claimed the market-leading position by building its name on the strength of world-renowned components, high-efficiency engineering, and a customer-first philosophy rooted in Filipino reliability. Headquartered in Quezon City, it offers free consultations, flexible financing, and a showroom where customers can see the technology up close.

The company’s recognition by the International Business Magazine—whose tagline is “honoring the best in business”—further cements PHILERGY’s place among the region’s most trusted solar providers. But instead of resting on their laurels, the PHILERGY team is using this win as a springboard to do even more.

Founder and Managing Partner Joe Staudter, a long-time advocate of renewable energy in the Philippines, remains focused on problem-solving innovation. “What we do at PHILERGY is to design a product, a solar system against any concern that may happen—from roof leaks, to efficiency decreases after a short period of time, to maintenance costs. We look at everything that can appear and find a solution for it,” he explains.

At the heart of PHILERGY’s systems is what Staudter describes as a unique technology behind their solar panels. “We specifically designed a solar panel with a producer that outperforms in a tropical environment. That’s not a given,” says Staudter. “[It comes] with a transparent design with double-sided solar cells where sunlight cannot just be harvested from the front cells. It reaches through the gaps and gets reflected from the roof surface and harvested from solar panels on the back side. That’s how you can achieve up to 30% more in comparison to the market standard in the Philippines and worldwide.”

According to Staudter, it’s currently the most efficient panel of its kind in Asia.

But PHILERGY’s innovation doesn’t end with panels. PHILERGY provides complete solar solutions engineered for performance, ease, and longevity. Their systems come with 24/7 app-based monitoring, professional onsite assessments, and long-term warranties that can last up to 30 years. Clients benefit from expert guidance from consultation to installation—including net metering assistance and financing options designed to make solar viable without the hidden costs.

With German-trained engineers leading each installation and a local support team based in Metro Manila, PHILERGY ensures that every aspect of the solar experience meets the highest standards of quality and service.

The company also places emphasis on long-term value, especially as the local market grows more competitive. “Since the pandemic, the market has become more of a price war. That can lead to more substandard products,” Staudter cautions. “There are risks and hidden costs when you go for a cheaper alternative.”

He adds that the shift in consumer behavior has been dramatic: “From the consumer market side, the demand increased remarkably. The solar market especially in the last two years multiplied—more than doubled every year. So demand is massively increasing.”

The supply side has followed suit. “Many more suppliers are entering the market now. It was very different 10 years ago when there were few suppliers and demand was not really there. The inquiries are flying in now—automatically, organically—so it’s nice to see.”

For many businesses, PHILERGY’s expertise and service record are key differentiators. “We chose PHILERGY, the German company, because of its extensive experience in the field of solar power. It’s very reliable in terms of the services of the company,” says Dr. Juan Lagunzad, President and Founder of Calamba Doctors College.

That trust—earned over years of consistent delivery—is what PHILERGY hopes to build on as it expands into underserved areas across the country. Their goal is not just to install more panels, but to empower more Filipino homes and businesses with dependable, premium-grade solar energy.

Because for PHILERGY German Solar, this award isn’t the culmination of their journey. It’s confirmation that they’re just getting started.
