Motolite continues its shift to sustainable solar panels in powering its manufacturing and retail facilities. To date, the leading battery brand has already installed around 7,600 kilowatt peak (kWp) of photovoltaic (PV) systems in its facilities, translating to about 9.66 million kilowatt hours (kWh) in electricity savings and elimination of 2,346 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
Motolite’s battery production plants in Bulacan alone have an installed PV system capacity of 7,472kWp, cutting its carbon footprint by 2,346 tons of CO2.
Over the next six months, Motolite expects to complete the installation of solar panels in several facilities that would further cut its greenhouse emission by 1,177 tons of CO2 and translate to 5,047,016 in electricity savings.
Included in the pipeline is Evergreen Environmental Resources Inc.’s state-of-the-art recycling facility with a target PV system capacity of 1,250kWp. This will yield 1,460,000kWh in energy savings and elimination of 340.38 tons of CO2 emissions. Evergreen is the accredited used lead acid batteries (ULAB) recycler of Motolite.
Due for completion in September is the 636-kWp roof-mounted solar installations yielding 812,490kWh electricity savings and 189.42 tons less CO2 emissions.
Expected to be completed by March 2024 is the first ground-mount solar installation with a design capacity of 2MWp. This will cut Motolite’s carbon footprint by 562.2 tons of CO2 and use of 2,411,409kWh electricity from the grid.
The installation of PV panels on the parking lot of Philippine Batteries Inc.’s plant in Bulacan, meanwhile, will be completed by December. It will have a capacity of 292.6kWp, translating to 363,117kWh of electricity savings and 88.66 tons fewer CO2 emissions.
