Beyond the broadband

PLDT Home is looking into offering internet and solar power solutions to Filipino households.

If people can have solar panels installed together with internet in one go, it should be very compelling for our customers, especially the ones who wish to future-proof their homes, said Butch Jimenez, Chief Operating Officer of PLDT.

Set to be a first in the country, the initiative aims to combine connectivity with renewable energy systems, helping families stay connected while managing rising electricity costs more efficiently.

PLDT said initial test marketing activities have generated highly promising results, with strong consumer interest in an integrated digital and energy solution that offers both convenience and long-term savings.

With this offering, subscribers can access solar infrastructure with monthly payments.

There is no timeline on when it will be implemented.
