Project Summary
Grupo Marilen Inc. supplies essential food products. It provides frozen products, dairy, meat, seafood, fresh produce, and grocery products through its active logistics center in Santiago City, Isabela. The company has been in operation since 1993 and employs a large number of people who operate the cold storage, warehousing, and delivery businesses which demand a continuous power supply during the day. Solaren has a solar system that is installed to fit those daytime loads where possible, helping to offset electricity expenses related to refrigeration, lighting, and administrative operations. The outcome is a clean, reliable source of energy that will not affect the bottom line of the company without interrupting the flow of goods. In the case of Grupo Maralen, solar has been incorporated into the engine that makes the food move throughout the region, working silently in the background to reduce overhead and improve efficiency.
