- WE ARE OFFICIALLY 100% OFF GRID!!! WE HAVE A SOLAR ENERGY BEACH HOUSE IN THE PHILIPPINES!
What a cool feeling. I always say "Power On", and in this case... that is literally happening! We have finished our solar system here in Cateel Davao Oriental, and have connected to it. In this video we take a closer look at the setup and talk with professionals about it. Then, we head off for a little coastal surf and chill, and end up back at home checking up on our system at night.
Solar Energy.... It is eco friendly, and definitely the way of the future! Solar is becoming way more affordable and available in the Philippines... and we are stoked to have it!!
Power On!!!
LITERALLY!!

how much for that setup?
@@nhorman1436 Just contact the companies on Facebook :)
Brod I'm in NCR do they have branch here?
@@alvinhermocilla6014 I bet they have friends in the industry or at least can give you more info? :)

Hi Kyle, I run totally solar off grid in the forest in Australia. Here is a couple of tips that I've learned. Having a larger system is good because you can run power tools or appliances like a freezer without completely draining your batteries. When you have extended cloudy days like in wet season the less power you use the more your batteries will hold up. If you continuously drain your batteries the die very quickly. Cleaning them after wet season is a very good idea as during the wet season they get coated in a green type slime substance. When they are coated they can't draw in much power. I clean mine once a year. Good decision to get complete solar. I've been living off mine for 15 years and have never regretted it for one second.
Hi, what battery u use ?
@@at-iba-pamikem1739 I've used a variety of batteries here. In the early days I used 12 volt lead acid. I then upgraded to 12 volt gel sealed batteries and now I'm about to upgrade again to lithium. I upgrade batteries and panels everytime I upgrade my system to a larger size. I'm about to have a 3 kilowatt system installed hence the new lithium batteries to go with it. I've been successfully running on a 1 kilowatt system for about 7 years on gel sealed batteries.
On average, how long does your batteries last?
If you don't mind, how much will it cost getting the same setup that kyle has.
@@jeremydolot2083 I'm sorry I can't really say as I don't know how much other countries charge for thier batteries or complete solar system or cost of installation. What I would say is in your country ring or email around and get quotes for a complete 5 kilowatt system installed.
Nipa house+ solar energy= happy mother earth power on!
This Cateel Beach House series has been an amazing journey for me as a viewer. I saw that piece of land from scratch, it truly is a labour of love and great brotherhood. Grabe! Cheers, raising my coffee cup. Power ON (via solar energy) and super apir.
POWER ON
@@BecomingFilipino hiramin ka muna namen dito sa Manila Kulas😂
My father did something similar with a water wheel by channeling a stream through a waterwheel in Malita, Davao during the 1950’s. He was originally from Virginia. It provided power to the meat house, and the plantation. Water from the stream was also piped in providing fresh clean water to the house. I think the house which was built by Orville Wood, an American, around 1910 is still there.
My dream to be off the grid! Once I buy my property in the Philippines, I will definitely contact them. Awesome Kulas!
It's good that you're going to enclose the unit. You are by the sea, so those parts could end up having a shorter life due to moisture from sea and tropical climate humidity. It's an awesome place! Completely living off nature, completely autonomous, that kind of freedom is priceless!
That's great. You rely solely on the energy generated from your household solar and battery storage system. Power on!💪
My family are hooked on this vlog it’s just brilliant thank you so much guys awesome 😎👏👏👏👏 from South Wales in the uk 🏴🏴
Good Morning. Wow. So cool to be totally off-grid. Well done. Positive vibes. Just to be able to pick up a coconut from your land and have a drink. Fresh, so cool. Beautiful drone shots. Chilled tunes. So nice to see the kids surfing. It must feel amazing not to have to worry about a blackout now. Your home is looking amazing. Have a great day.
Hey Kulas, you are now one of the human race who just entered the solar system haha! Thanks for sharing this much appreciated. Solar energy for the win!
POWER ON!🌞😊
I just want to thank you for giving us a daily dose of positive vibe, for showing us the beauty of our country. We don't have the resources to travel but we are enjoying it through your vlogs. Thank you for all that you do.
You become my inspiration Kulas. One day i will go back to Philippines and live like you do. Thank you!
You're not only helping the environment but the community as well especially the kids (and kids at heart) who wants to do surfing. Who knows they'll be pro surfers 🔥
The house is lighted ...awesome solar energy...fresh air...buko from a tree of life... nothing you can ask for...be safe always ❤Vancouver
Ikaw na gyud Kulas ang worthy of emulation! Living a super green life! Less plastic and now solar system for the entire household!
Solar energy is in the house! Hooray!!!
Congrats Kyle and everyone.
Mother earth is super happy🤗🤗🤗
This will be the perfect solution for brown-outs. A very cost-effective way of getting rid of electric bills altogether, a great investment for sure. Nice one brad!!
from forest to a new beach house with matching solar lights. so amazing and beautiful. nice kyle for admiring our mother earth. 😊
Hey Kulas,suggestion since we live off grid as well, better if you have volt reader connected all the way inside your house so you can monitor your power. 🤙🤙🤙
Maayong buntag sa tanan😍 Wow🤩 totally amazing Kulas 😍👍👍👍 You using Solar 👏👏👏 how I wish to visit Cateel 🤞🤞🤞
Its cute how Kumar is teaching the local kids surfing, NICE KA ONE🤙🏻
*Kumar is super cool*
Pasyal ka naman dito Kulas sa Manila😕😇
I Love watching your adventures but seeing your progress and innovation you are setting up for your beach house is really interesting inspiring. Amazing content as always 🤙🏼
*_The Cateel Big Brother house is now solar-powered!_* 😎😎😎
Awesome! This is the future for the Philippines and for the world!
Solar, Starlink, Water Well, Rainwater Collection System and Farm(Garden and a few chickens, a cow/goats, a pig or two). And then you can say you are living 90% sustainable
Congrats guys for new solar power connections!
SALAMAT!
That's a very good load, you have lot of spare power for emergency and and your system is not stressed.
The looks nice during the night when all lights is on. Congratulations👏👏👏👏
Because you have been featuring Davao I would not be surprised if President Duterte will give you an award one day. Power on indeed.
Hello kyle
BIG 👍👍👍for using Solar your having a GREEN ENERGY !!! 👌👌👌Awsome 👋👋👋🧡💜🧡
I enjoyed watching this episode. Amazing that you are 100% off grid. Congratulations!!
Many congratulations on going solar. It is absolutely the right way to go. It must be a great feeling. I have plans to do it I the future too.
Nice one, Kyle! Go Green!
There are many surfers today Kulas it's a good sign that your place will be get busy for the next days...
Going off the grid, oh yeah! 👏👍Young coconut, yum! Thanks for another glimpse of wonderful life in Cateel, Kulas. 👍💖
Harnessing the power of energy.
Now that's savings...
Nice one!!!💪💪
Wise move kulas.. brilliant 💡
Sweet stuff you got there, Kyle! Luxurious living without killing Mother Earth. #Earthhoppers indeed!
Present kulas.
Godbless all.may ilaw na
Good job...watching frm italy.
Cateel blogs is amazing.makalingaw,maka inspire,maka good vibes ahhhh bastq nindot jud😊😃....
Yay!!! Solar is life!!!🥰🥰🥰
You have to ensure it is also rust proof. Especially the metal poles that holds the solar panel since your location is right beside the beach. Salt vs Metal...
Yup! Corrosion can indeed happen. It's best to paint the metal poles and rustproof them.
Wow. That’s a great setup, no fear of brown outs.
That is wonderful Off the Grid congratulations
Great off grid and homestead Kulas and Kumar!
That system is astig kaayo! I love the light fixtures all made of natural materials, too. (Before I was wondering what the ones attached to the posts were - very nice.) 👍👍👍 BTW Don't be surprised if Oliver Austria will be doing a review of your home now! 💪❤
ALOHA!🤙
hahah, no thank you. Our home is still far from being done. would be jumping the gun haha
Awesome. I love solar power. All of my hiking gear are solar powered. Thanks for showing us Kulas. Take Care
Congrats! Keepsafe Power on.
My family live's in a hinterland of Libona, Bukidnon, no electricity. We are using solar energy for almost 5 years until now, we have Wi-Fi connection, We use to sing a song in a karaoke, solar is so comfortable zero electric bill.
What about refrigerator? Is it working with solar, too?
How much did it cost for the solar?
That smile of being proud of what you have accomplished! Congrats kyle! Can't wait for the barkada and fighterboys reuinion at your place. Hoping that erwan will visit too, 🤙🤙 take care!
Erwin posted a video that he stopped vlogging. He is doing something else.
WoW 🤩 solar panel! Great idea Kulas❤️❤️❤️
Grabe ka power ang solar panels! Let's go green! Congrats Kulas! Nice ka brod! ☺️💪❤️
Lets go solar everyone...cheers🎉🎉🎉
I like it when you upload early in the morning. I work night shifts and once my shift is over and i see you already have an uploaded video, it feels great. Kudos to you and finn snow.
Informative vlog. Hope i could go solar too.
#earthhoppers
POWER ON :) Wishing you all the best with work
Wow! Amazing! Solar power na jud. Literally "Power On" na jud inyo house karon.
This is good idea for our second home located in Samal Island. Thanks for this video.
You should get lithium batteries and always best to clean the solar every week because a bit of dust loses you alot a efficiency. Don't wait for the rain lol
Cheers to you all🌴
Looking forward to the future with this channel!
Can't wait to do the same thing when I move back to the Philippines!
🌴Stoked for you all🌴
🌴💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 🌴
🤙🤙🤙
Wow Kulas, you really brought the POWER ON!👍👍👍🌅🌅🌅
Nice one brad!!👏👏 power on!!💪💪
Cost Break Down According to Market Price:
Solar Panel - 5000 x Php16per watt = Php80,000
Inverter - Voltronic 5.5e = Php85,000
Battery 200AH - 8 x Php11,800 = Php94,400
accesories/structure - Php45,000
Labor 45% Total Cost - Php136,800
mobilize - Php15,000
Total Cost - Php 455,800
say, project cost 500k, 10% tolerance.
NPP Lead Acid battery had only 500 lifecyle with only 50% of its capacity is usable.
8 x 200AH, 48V = 9.6kWhr @ 50%rate
Lithium base battery is 5000 lifecycle with 95% of its capacity is usable.
1 lifecycle = 1full discharge +1 full charge.
Philippines is a tropical country so we don’t need dangerous powerplant,
Hot weathered PH is so Blessed with hot season and dry most of the time
thats why solar still the best choice,tipid kuryente bills.Sana All Lahat ng Bahay.
Congratulations Kyle & the team 👏 💙 You finally have your Solar panels & everything... no more electric bills... Amazing 👏. God bless everyone 🙏❤ .Stay safe healthy and happy always ❤. See you on your nxt vlog
Kulas..ur a gem.This solar system is now a major threat to Meralco haha! Thanks for being brave to share it to the community which I hope they will utilize in the future esp.in the remote villages where electricity is scarce and almost impossible.Thanks for the 2 Pinoys you're with introducing how solar system is benificial to the people esp.the poor.
6:24 a 5kw setup with all hardware and installation in the Philippines 🇵🇭 will typically run you 365k PHP. He probably got a 20-35% discount from his total price for referring these guys
No discount for referring. Times are tough and I paid what anyone would normally pay. :)
Well actually... we had the scaffold structure built as well and live in a Provincial area... so there were more costs too.
@@BecomingFilipino nice Kyle, im going to also do like a 2 to 3 kw system for after I build my house. I've had the idea for years.
So 365k to save what 2k a month? That's 15 years to recoup your ROI, by then you're replacement parts kicked in already. What am I missing? Eventually I'll retire in Davao with my wife so I'm interested in the breakdown. :)
@@RQ2024 I was thinking the same way too since I have a beach lot property. Probably, after 10-12 years u may replace the whole thing.
deym, you now own the 'Solar System' 😂 Nice one
SOLARRRRR!!!!!
Very cool, off grid. Your place is looking great. Super enjoyed this video.
Awesome how that much of power grids could provide such electricity. Very efficient. Cool!
OFF GRID! Power on.
*GoGreenKulasSuperApir* 👍
Kyle...just found your channel yesterday and have been binge-watching you since, not that I have anything better to do during this Covid-19 lockdown. I do get out to see my doctors and the 1 day a month I still work. Am recovering from an ACDF spinal procedure so I can't even drive yet so I have to find stuff on my smart cable TV to keep me entertained and inspired to keep from going crazy. Your channel hit the spot. My parents are from Tagbilaran, Bohol tho I'm a NYer born and raised on Long Island, NY. Your beach house is down the coast from my wife's cousin up near San Francisco, Agusan del Sur and I admire his lifestyle from his facebook posts. My kids and grandkids are here in metro NYC so I don't have any desire to go back to the old country so it's refreshing to see your POV about it. Keep up the great "job"...Joey Tabaco
Great idea a great way to save money on electric Bill's you guys did really great am impress this is an awesome vlog have a God fill day Sa Dios Power on
Kulas, share some power to mama rose. :)
No need to tell or remind Kulas about sharing. He does stuff without announcing or posting everything to let everyone knows.
@@eleanorpakilit yeah I know.
No , there ok , to avoid differences in the future let theme use thier own consumption
I think Mama Rose has many cottages for rent that will require power. I think she & her family can invest too in solar on their own not share from Kulas. They could report the cost of it on their tax return as their business expense. Just saying. Remember guys, Kulas place is private. He is not in business like Mama Rose’ Resort.
@@eleanorpakilit yes . He did always w/o bla Bla. .bla ..or posting ..
For soul searching, contact God and Repent with Thanksgiving to the Creator of Nature♥️♥️
Wow ! Go green. Your panels can energize your compound directly during the day.
galing at panalo! organic and clean green all the way....
Brad nganong malipayon man kaau c kumar og jundee karon panahuna?🤣🤣🤣

Pretty good Kulas, self sufficient off grid way to go. We are also using off grid solar energy in sunny Queensland. We enjoyed not paying bills at all. Enjoy free power from the sun.
This is awesome Kyle! Every household in the world should do this ❤
nice solar kuya kulas and still nice and so many friendly there in your place.
stay strong and stay safe for all of us.
Hello Kyle and friends! That’s awesome! I really love the set up of your place in cateel davao oriental! Glad to see mama Rose cooking!
Well lit house, thanks to Solar energy. Mother nature is blessing you, Kulas. Power on...
That is really good and smart, you will notice over time that things last longer on solar!
100% KULAS, I like that idea of your SOLAR POWER-SYSTEM..thumb's up !
Wow! Nice ka brad!! Power kaayu
Let there be light..Kyle said power on ..there it is solar energy nice one Kyle 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great to know that you are now “off grid.” A wise decision to use solar. Going green is saving energy. Thank you and Power On!
its very good to see how adult encourages the youth to be physically active in participating in a worthily activities like surfing
Solar power is the best and so glad to see you set up your system. Please be aware that there is some maintenance to do and monitoring as well. For example: once in a while you may wipe down the solar panels to remove dirt mold and algae build up. Battery and wire connections will corrode in salty sea side locations (keep dry, check regularly and clean or replace connections). Some batteries need to be checked and refilled with water as it evaporates several times a year (use battery water not tap water cause of mineral content). Yes solar power systems are low maintenance, but they are not no maintenance! The worst problem that happens to these systems is from neglect of regular cleaning checking and maintenance. All the best!
Green Energy for the win! Definitely contacting them soon. I want to use Solar energy at my property in Cotabato. But here in Davao City, I've already been using solar lights for my home since last year.
Kulas is living my dream! A simple nipa/hybrid hut by the beach running on solar! Mabuhay!
Wow Kanindot ang saya2 ninyo na miss ko na ang province life.Kanus a pa kaha ni mobalik sa normal para maka laag gyud mi tawon oi.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍Stay safe mo tanan mga Dodong & Inday
mangadye nalang ta para makabalik na sa normal...
Wow! Truly Amazing Kulas! Power Off Grid!
Wow congratulations that’s an awesome system!!! Wish I have it. I only have first floor powered by solar with 17 panels
WOW! That’s amazing! Living off the grid.
Wow very happy family with solar lights save energy🤗👏👏😄😄
Wow solar that's pretty good saves energy and good for kinaiyahan.
Love this vlog! Yay solar power! I use solar generator for my travels and camping too!
