In a landmark initiative to expand accessibility to renewable energy, Helios, the country’s leading one-stop shop for finding and financing Residential Solar Solutions, and GCash, the Philippines' leading finance superapp and largest cashless ecosystem, have teamed up to launch its first-ever Green Financing initiative.

This strategic collaboration, powered by GCash’s lending arm, Fuse Financing, Inc., aims to make solar energy more attainable for Filipino households by integrating Helios’ Tier 1 solar technology, known for its top performance, durability, long-term reliability, and strong warranties, with GGives, the installment payment feature of GCash.
Despite the Philippines’ abundant sunlight, solar energy adoption remains limited in the country. This disparity is primarily due to high upfront costs and a lack of public awareness about rooftop solar panel systems' benefits and installation processes (RTSPs).
Recognizing these barriers, GCash and Helios have introduced a flexible financing solution that allows families to adopt solar energy without immediate financial strain. Going solar offers significant benefits for the average Filipino household, especially in the long run, including lower electricity bills, increased property value, and long-term savings. Filipino households can access affordable and clean energy while contributing to a more sustainable future.
As part of this initiative, GGives is launching the exclusive Triple Zero Solar Starter Package, a limited-time offering designed to ease the financial burden of switching to solar energy. Moreover, by using GGives, customers no longer need to have a credit card or navigate the complexities of applying for a solar financing loan at a bank. GGives eliminates typical financial barriers, making solar energy more accessible and easier for a wider audience by offering zero down payment, zero interest, and zero processing fees.
Helios, known for providing customized solar designs and bespoke solutions, ensures that its systems feature only top-tier hardware with 25-year production guarantees and world-class after-sales service. With this partnership, customers can experience an accessible and affordable path to sustainable energy adoption, saving between 50% to 100% on their electricity bills, and ultimately transitioning to solar energy more conveniently and budget-friendly for every Filipino household.
“We are thrilled to announce Helios’ groundbreaking partnership with GGives. This marks a significant milestone towards our mission to make solar power accessible and affordable to every home in the Philippines. We look forward to delivering the highest quality and most reliable solar solutions to more Filipino homes through partnership with GCash,” Helios Co-Founder Alex Aronson said.
For Fuse President Tony Isidro, financial inclusion and sustainability should go hand in hand. He said, “By making renewable energy more affordable through GGives, we are empowering more Filipinos to switch to clean energy without the financial burden.” By offering a pioneering green financing solution, GCash underscores its dedication to innovative, disruptive moves in the sustainability space.
