Driving Change: James Deakin’s Journey to a Solar-Powered Home with GoSolar Philippines

In a world where conversations around sustainability are often just that—conversations—broadcaster, journalist, and automotive icon James Deakin decided to take the wheel and lead by example. Known for his advocacy for smarter, future-forward technologies and responsible living, James has long been a champion of progress on and off the road.
This time, the journey led him home
A decision that would change how his family lives every single day.

From Curiosity to Commitment
For someone who has always celebrated innovation, James’s decision to be GoSolar Philippines’ newest sustainability partner came naturally. He’s long been known for embracing progress and promoting solutions that make life better, not just for himself, but for the next generation.
So when he explored the idea of powering his home with solar, it wasn’t just about savings or convenience, it was about walking the talk. This was his way of taking a step toward a more sustainable future, of showing that progress isn’t just something we talk about, but something we can live every day.
For GoSolar Philippines, this collaboration was more than just another installation. It was a meeting of shared values. Like James, we believe that good technology should make life simpler
Behind the Scenes: The GoSolar Standard
James’ solar system was designed and built with precision and care, anchored on GoSolar’s engineering-first approach. Our team of licensed engineers and experienced installers carefully assessed the layout, shading, and daily power consumption patterns to create a setup that didn’t just look good, but performed efficiently under all conditions.
The result? A 9.28kWp Hybrid Solar System, equipped with Atmoce Microinverters for optimized performance and a backup battery system to keep power running even during outages. But more than the specs, it’s the craftsmanship that makes the system truly stand out.
Every cable was neatly managed. Every panel was perfectly aligned. Every connection was tested and verified under GoSolar’s stringent QA checklist. The goal was to build long-term energy solutions designed to power James’ home for decades.
A Home Built for the Future
The Deakin home’s system now quietly works behind the scenes—powering lights, appliances, and daily routines with clean, renewable energy. For a household that values both comfort and conscience, it’s a game-changer.
The best part? Their monthly electric bill fell dramatically from over P15,000 a month, to now only around P5,200! And for James, it’s a constant reminder that technology, when used responsibly, can create meaningful change – not just for the future, but for now and for years to come.

Empowering Every Filipino Home
At GoSolar, installations like this are more than projects—they’re partnerships. Our work with James embodies our commitment to excellence, where design, safety, and performance meet.
We take pride in how our teams treat each roof as if it were their own. That same dedication is what allows us to confidently say that when you go solar with GoSolar Philippines, you’re not just investing in equipment, you’re investing in craftsmanship that lasts.
James’ journey is one that mirrors the experience of thousands of Filipino families who have trusted GoSolar Philippines to bring the power of the sun into their homes. Whether it’s reducing bills, protecting against outages, or simply choosing a cleaner way to live, solar energy is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity for the modern Filipino household.
