## What this application does

The StarShield Philippines Solar Panel Loss Calculator is a free, mobile-first web application for Philippine homes and businesses with solar photovoltaic systems. It estimates how accumulated dust, pollution, water spots, salt film, pollen, leaves, bird droppings, agricultural material, and other soiling may reduce solar generation and increase the value of electricity not produced.

The calculator also compares:

1. Estimated loss if the panels remain dirty.
2. Potential value saved after professional cleaning.
3. Clean-baseline value retained in the nano-coating comparison.

Users can download a branded PDF report or open a StarShield Philippines Messenger conversation containing their contact and estimate details.

## Inputs

The customer provides:

- Name
- Phone number
- Email address
- Property location
- Philippine soiling location preset
- Year the solar system was installed
- Number of solar panels, solar system size in kWp, or both
- Number of times the panels were professionally cleaned
- Visible panel condition: unknown, light dust, noticeable dirt, or heavy dirt, stains, or bird droppings

If only panel count is supplied, the calculator estimates capacity at 0.55 kWp per panel.

## Calculation model

- Expected monthly yield: 110 kWh per kWp.
- Electricity value: PHP 14.82 per kWh.
- Estimated cleaning interval: system age in months divided by the number of professional cleanings plus one, capped at 120 months.
- Condition multipliers: unknown 1.00, light dust 0.75, noticeable dirt 1.00, and heavy soiling 1.30.
- The modeled soiling loss ramps from 1% toward the selected location preset's range as the estimated cleaning interval increases.
- All locations remain capped at their configured maximum loss, except Metro Manila Core may reach a separate 30% ceiling when heavy soiling is selected.

Core formulas:

Clean monthly yield = effective system size in kWp × 110 kWh/kWp

Monthly electricity lost = clean monthly yield × estimated soiling loss

Estimated current output = clean monthly yield − monthly electricity lost

Monthly peso loss = monthly electricity lost × PHP 14.82/kWh

Long-term projections = monthly electricity lost or peso loss × number of months

## Philippine soiling presets

- Metro Manila Core: 15–25% typical range after a missed 3-month cleaning window; up to 30% only when heavily soiled.
- Greater Manila and Industrial Belt: 12–22%; 3–4 months.
- Metro Cebu and Coastal Urban Centers: 10–20%; 3–4 months.
- Major Mindanao Cities: 9–18%; 3–4 months.
- Western Visayas Cities: 9–17%; 3–4 months.
- Central Luzon Urban and Industrial: 9–18%; 3–4 months.
- CALABARZON Regional Cities: 8–17%; 3–4 months.
- Baguio–La Trinidad: 7–15%; 4 months.
- Other Regional Cities: 7–15%; 4 months.
- Provincial Towns: 5–12%; 4–6 months.
- Rural and Agricultural: 5–15%; 4 months.

The presets represent common exposure patterns and are not measurements of a specific installation.

## Results and reports

Results include:

## Nano-coating information

StarShield Philippines describes its solar nano coating through four benefits:

- Anti-reflective coating: reduces light reflection so panels can absorb more light.
- Anti-dust and anti-static behavior: suppresses static electricity and reduces the ability of fine particles to stick.
- Photocatalytic reaction: uses sunlight to help break down organic dirt and stains.
- Superhydrophilic surface: causes water to sheet off evenly and carry away dust and debris.

The calculator does not add an unverified percentage uplift for nano coating. Its coating comparison uses the clean-generation baseline.

## Privacy and lead workflow

The application asks for contact details before calculation. Contact details are saved in the user's browser only after the user presses "Calculate my loss." That action also sends the customer details and calculator summary to StarShield Philippines' Pancake CRM through a server-side endpoint. The interface does not display a CRM transmission notification.

## Limitations

This calculator provides an illustrative estimate and is not a monitoring-system reading, site inspection, engineering study, energy-production guarantee, or financial guarantee. Actual losses vary with weather, shading, temperature, inverter and wiring performance, equipment condition, panel angle and orientation, maintenance quality, and the type and distribution of dirt.
