SM North Went Solar - How about you?
The green switch at SM
The post featured the ground breaking move by SM to go solar. They installed a 1.7 mW at the rooftop of SM north which is the largest so far for rooftop installation in the Philippines. This would have entailed a huge cap ex. That would be about $4,000 x kW and would have cost $6,800,000 x 45 or P306,000,000 a rather hefty investment.
The installation is enough to power 1,000 homes and consist of 5,760 panels installed atop the multilevel parking of SM North.
This is SM contribution to help avert power shortage in 2015, save electricity bills, , and contribute to green environment
SM Dasmarinas and MoA will be next. (If you are SM and you have huge power bills, you will employ the same strategy) SM Marikina and Masinag will be redesigned too using Solar Energy
The supplier is Solar Phil, headed by Leandro Leviste, a 21 Yale student, son of Loren Legarda.
