The diesel generator alternative for Philippine businesses

Stop burning money
to keep trading.

After the 2026 oil crisis, every litre of diesel is a tax on your margins. Terang is a portable battery — a generator alternative that pays itself back in fuel savings, then keeps your business running silently through every brownout for a decade.

Three steps. Start to finish.

From ordering to powering your shop — no electrician, no installer, no building work. You're in control at every step.

01

Pick your size.

Use our sizing tool to find the tier that matches your shop. Starter for small retail and food carts, Standard for cafés and salons, Pro for busy restaurants and dive operators. Add a 200W solar panel if you want to recharge for free.

02

We deliver to your shop, fully charged.

Padded crate. Door-to-door within 6 weeks across the Philippines, faster in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao. Unbox in 5 minutes. No technician visit. Tracking via WhatsApp and Messenger.

03

Plug your appliances in. Keep trading.

Any standard plug fits directly. POS, card reader, wifi, lights, fridge, fans — whatever you need, for as long as the battery lasts. When the next brownout hits, your power never drops. Your register keeps ringing. Your tourists never notice.

Three ways to recharge.

Your Terang never goes flat, because there's always another way to fill it back up.

Wall outlet

Plug it into any standard Philippine wall socket when grid power is on. Top up overnight. Ready for the next outage.

Full charge in 5–7 hrs

200W solar panel

Foldable panel plugs straight into the battery. No roof install, no electrician. Charge for free from the sun — the only grid that never goes down.

Full charge in 6–9 hrs of sun

Car 12V socket

Use your vehicle cigarette lighter socket. Useful for food trucks, market stalls, delivery drivers, or anyone whose business moves.

Full charge in 8–10 hrs
