THE 75-bed Mercy Community Hospital of Iligan City has turned to solar power to save on energy costs and its carbon footprints.

Greenergy Solar PH commissioned on April 26 Mercy Community Hospital’s 201 kilowatts on-grid Solar Energy System. This solar energy system results in up to 45 percent energy cost reduction for the level 2 hospital in Iligan City.

Savings and environmental renewal have driven the Sisters of Mercy, the hospital administrators to transition to solar power.

“Solar energy system helps us generate more income to serve our poor patients. Solar energy is low cost and helps us clean the environment so that the planet will be more livable by the next generation,” said Sr. Julpha E. Meron, administrator of the Mercy Community Hospital.

The transition of Mercy Community Hospital to clean and renewable energy is significant in the drive to bring Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. “Avoided CO2 emission is important in mitigating the impact of climate change that is now threatening all living things on the planet,” said Engr. Cerael D. Donggay, founder and CEO of Greenergy Solar PH.

The solar panels installed at the hospital are built to have a lifespan of 25 years. Greenergy Solar PH is giving a 15-year warranty for the solar panels and a 10-year warranty for the premium inverters.

“As the country heats up due to the overuse of fossil fuel, it is time to hire the sun for our power needs, said Engr. Cerael D. Donggay, founder and CEO of Greenergy Solar PH.
