BHF Appliances in Guimba was the first major retailer in the region to adopt solar energy across its operations—a move that signaled both confidence in renewable technology and a clear intent to manage costs over the long term. Years before solar became common in the commercial space, BHF partnered with Solaren to install grid-tied systems at several of its key locations. The goal was simple: reduce daytime electricity bills while keeping stores cool, bright, and fully operational. That early decision paid off. The systems have continued to perform reliably, with minimal maintenance and consistent savings across branches. Over time, solar became part of how BHF runs its business—not just a technical upgrade, but a built-in advantage. For the company, being first wasn’t just about image. It was about results. BHF’s early move into solar has helped shape a more innovative, more resilient model for appliance retail in Northern Luzon.
