Our story

Danny founded Intensified Achiv in Manila in 2021, on a quiet idea — that a Filipino home deserves a solar system built to last.

The Philippine market is full of installers willing to win on price by quietly substituting lower-spec parts and skipping the documentation. The result, often, is a system that goes silent in its third year — and a contractor who no longer answers the phone.

We started small, in Manila. Word travelled. By the time we expanded to Cebu, we had crossed ten megawatts of installed capacity — homes, small businesses, and a steady book of repair work taking over systems someone else had walked away from.

The team that builds your system is the same team that signs the workmanship warranty. Same names, same hands. That is, more or less, the entire idea.

What we do

Three kinds of work, all done by the same hands.

Two clean rows of dark solar panels on a vivid red corrugated roof — a single-family Filipino home with neighbors and trees reflected in the panel glass.

Cebu City, April 2026

01

Solar for your home

Hybrid systems sized for the way your house actually runs.

A proper residential design starts with how your family uses the day — when the airconditioner runs, which appliances stay on through a brownout, whether a car will be charging on the driveway in two years. The sizing follows the life, not the other way around.

Every install is a panel array, a hybrid inverter, a battery, and the careful electrical work between them. Net-metering paperwork with Meralco is ours to chase, not yours.

02

Solar for your business

Commercial roofs, sized honestly, priced honestly.

A small office, a warehouse, a clinic — the maths shifts but the principle does not. We size against your real load profile, not a brochure assumption, and we line-item the proposal so you can see what every peso is buying.

Where it makes sense, we phase the build so your operating costs come down before the full system is paid for.

Solar that needs rescuing

The system you already have, brought back to life.

About a third of the calls we take now are not new builds — they are systems someone else installed and then quietly walked away from. We audit the install end to end, replace what needs replacing, redo what needs redoing, and hand the system back working the way it was sold to you.

More on the repair work below.

Talisay, Cebu · April 2026

A hybrid install where the team showed up at nine and the inverter screen read generating by sundown.

Six-person Achiv install team staging the inverter cabinet at the front door of a Talisay home on install day, teal van parked, ladder and tools spread across the driveway.

Talisay, Cebu, April 2026

The brief from the homeowners was short. Brownouts had been cutting out the neighbourhood twice a week through the dry season. They wanted lights, fans, fridge, and a bedroom airconditioner that did not stop when the grid did. They were not interested in a brochure — they asked us to send pictures of the team before they agreed to a date.

The crew arrived in the morning — six installers, the cabinet, the inverter, the panel boxes, ladders, and the teal van. Cabinet went up against the utility-room wall first. By the time the rooftop crew finished pitching the array, the indoor crew was wiring breakers and labelling DC strings. There was no improvising on site — every run had been measured the week before.

The finished Solis hybrid inverter mounted inside its cabinet on commissioning day, screen reading 'Current Status: Generating', combiner boxes neatly attached either side.

Talisay, April 2026

Late afternoon, the Solis hybrid screen came on and read “Current Status: Generating.” A bulb on the ceiling lit. Nothing dramatic — that is the point. The system was live, the household was running on solar, and the brownout that came through the neighbourhood three days later did not touch them.

The documentation pack — as-built diagrams, panel-string layout, breaker labels, warranty registrations, and a one-page operating guide — was handed to the family on commissioning day. It lives in a folder by the breaker box. If we ever stop answering the phone, the next installer will know what they are looking at.

They came back the second week to check the readings. Nobody asked them to. That is the part I tell my sister.

The repair work

If the system on your roof has gone quiet and the people who installed it are no longer answering, you are not the first person to dial us for that reason.

It is, by now, a common kind of phone call. Here is what we usually find when we arrive.

Mandaluyong, October 2025

Panels underperforming, no one to ask why.

An 8-kilowatt rooftop, two and a half years old, producing about half of what the original quote promised. Three of the panels were a different brand from the rest. The string voltages were uneven, the optimisers had been mis-paired, and the as-built diagram did not exist. Diagnostics took a long morning. The fix took most of a week.

San Juan, November 2025

An inverter that failed in year three.

Five-kilowatt residential. The hybrid inverter had been a generic import, not the brand on the brochure. When it failed, the original installer’s number rang out for ten weeks. We replaced the inverter with a unit we vouch for, re-pulled the DC, and registered the warranty in the client’s name where it should have been from the beginning.

Pasig, January 2026

DC runs unlabelled, ungrounded, unsafe.

We opened the cabinet on a fifteen-kilowatt commercial install and found seven unlabelled DC strings, no grounding on the array frame, and a couple of mechanical terminations that should have been crimped. We re-labelled, re-grounded, and re-crimped. Nothing about that should have been our job to do. It is, increasingly often, our job to do.

Las Piñas, February 2026

Sized for a brochure, not the actual house.

A 4-kilowatt array on a household that pulls closer to nine through the dry season. The original installer had quoted off a single bill, in March, with the airconditioning off. We added a second string, a larger battery, and rewrote the Meralco net-metering paperwork around the real load. The family stopped paying for diesel two months later.

If this sounds like the system you have, write to us.

No urgency, no pressure. We meet a lot of people in your spot.

    Phone always picked up

Your panels are covered for 25 years on performance and 12 years on the product itself. The hybrid inverter, 5 years. The battery, 8 years. Our workmanship, 2 to 3 years depending on the package — and the same team that built your system signs that warranty.

Every install ships with a documentation pack: as-built diagrams, panel-string layouts, breaker labels, warranty registrations, and a one-page operating guide. The numbers are honest, the parts are the parts we vouch for, and there is nothing on the invoice we cannot explain.

If something goes wrong inside those windows, we come back. If it goes wrong outside them, we still pick up the phone.

Where we work

Greater Manila and Cebu, mostly.

Outside these regions, write to us. We evaluate every request, and we have travelled for the right job.

Frequently asked

Things people ask before going solar.

How long does an install take?
Most residential installs run one to three days on the roof. After a site visit and a line-by-line quote, we usually schedule the crew two to four weeks ahead — sooner if the parts are already in our Cebu warehouse.
What if my roof can't take panels?
We say so honestly. About one in twenty roofs we look at is wrong for solar — wrong pitch, wrong structure, wrong shade — and we tell the homeowner that on the site visit. Better than a bad install we both regret in year three.
Do I need to be home during install?
Day one, yes. We walk you through the system and the documentation pack on the first day. After that, the crew works without you needing to be on site — we coordinate access with whoever you leave at home.
Who handles net-metering paperwork?
We do, in-house. Distribution-utility forms, ERC paperwork, Meralco net-metering — the whole loop is ours to chase. You sign two documents and we file the rest.
What happens if a panel breaks in year 8?
Our workmanship warranty covers the labour for two to three years; the panel itself is on the manufacturer. Panels typically carry a 25-year performance warranty and a 12-year product warranty. We file the manufacturer claim on your behalf — the same way we registered it the day we commissioned the system.
Can I add a battery later?
Yes — we size the inverter with that in mind. If you start with panels only, we still spec the hybrid inverter so you can add a battery in year three without ripping out the year-one work. The wiring and the breaker space are already there.
