SM Supermalls has unveiled its largest self-used rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system to date at SM City Santa Rosa in Laguna, installed across over two hectares of the building.
The solar PV system at SM City Santa Rosa, which recently received a Certificate of Compliance from the Energy Regulatory Commission, is composed of 5,772 panels with 3.088 megawatt peak capacity and annual solar energy production of up to 4.292 gigawatt hours. It will power 15 percent of the mall’s energy consumption needs.
With the latest milestone of scaling the company’s efforts towards energy efficiency, SM Prime reaffirms its commitment towards building for a sustainable future.
