Solar panels in the Philippines

[lastlid]

The RP is catching up with the technology - its so obvious solar panels and water heaters would work well near the tropics. Quite a few companies advertise in the national newspapers now based in Manila and Cebu, often european managed. My mate had two water tanks, one covered over providing 'cool water', the other painted black with a long black hose pipe - instant and free hot water all day.

I saw that sort of thing in the middle east.
