Project Summary
BHF Bank serves clients across Northern and Central Luzon, operating branches that rely on steady electricity for customer service, teller systems, and internal operations. Air conditioning, lighting, and security systems run all day, creating a reliable but costly power profile. Solaren installed a grid-tied solar system at one of BHF’s key locations, providing clean daytime power that directly offsets utility usage. The installation helps keep operations smooth during banking hours, while net metering ensures that excess energy isn’t wasted. The system works quietly in the background, allowing branch staff to focus on service while lowering ongoing costs. For BHF, solar is more than a cost-saving measure—it supports continuous banking services and reinforces a modern, responsible approach to operations. It also signals that even in finance, sustainable decisions can be practical and reliable.
