BV Cuisine
- Food manufacturing and processing facility
- System Size: 100.00 kWp
- Completion: 10-Mar-2026
- Taguig City, Philippines
Project Summary
BV Cuisine operates a modern food manufacturing facility in Taguig City as part of the Bench Group. Refrigeration systems, controlled preparation areas, automated packaging lines, sanitation processes, and temperature-managed storage create a concentrated and structured weekday electrical demand. Weekend load drops materially, creating a production cycle that solar offsets most efficiently when the system is configured around actual load curves rather than theoretical roof capacity.
Manufacturing environments carry inductive motor loads across refrigeration compressors and packaging equipment that introduce power factor penalties if left unaddressed. Power factor correction was integrated into the design to improve electrical efficiency and eliminate avoidable utility charges, a step that generic installations frequently overlook and that directly affects the financial return.
The 100.00 kWp array uses SMA Germany STP110-60 CORE2 inverters paired with Trina Solar glass-glass bifacial modules, monitored continuously through SMA ennexOS. Annual generation of 147,500 kWh delivers PHP 1.62 million in savings per year against a 2.7-year payback, one of the strongest returns in Solaren’s food manufacturing portfolio. Lifetime savings are projected at PHP 41.8 million.
For food manufacturers where weekday production cycles drive the consumption profile, net metering structured around those cycles converts weekend surplus into credits that offset peak weekday demand, improving overall return without oversizing the array. The broader economics are set out in commercial solar panels Philippines.
