Solaren Unveils AI Platform to Streamline Commercial Solar Investments
Manila, Tuesday, 26 May 2026.
Launched today, Ask Solaren AI empowers Philippine businesses to bypass lengthy sales consultations, delivering site-specific solar and energy storage assessments in just three minutes to accelerate the green transition.
Democratizing Energy Data for the Mid-Market
Solaren Renewable Energy Solutions Corporation, a Tarlac-based solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company, officially launched the “Ask Solaren” platform today, May 26, 2026 [1]. Accessible via the company’s website, the tool targets commercial and industrial facility operators who are navigating their first significant energy investments [1]. By inputting basic parameters such as electricity bill data, facility type, and operating hours, users receive immediate solar suitability assessments and system size recommendations [1]. The underlying technology relies on a bill-to-kilowatt-hour conversion methodology, built upon a decade of empirical data from Solaren’s commercial projects [1].
The Push for Storage and Grid Independence
Beyond standard solar photovoltaic (PV) assessments, Ask Solaren integrates critical data regarding energy storage capabilities [1]. The platform provides detailed analyses on battery sizing for demand management, estimates for backup duration, and cost comparisons between grid-tied and hybrid systems [1]. This focus on storage aligns with a broader national trend toward grid stability and renewable integration [GPT]. Just yesterday, on May 25, 2026, Trinasolar announced the expansion of its utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) offerings in the Philippines to meet the surging demand for solar-plus-storage projects [5].
Corporate Momentum Accelerating the Green Transition
The introduction of Ask Solaren arrives at a time when major Philippine conglomerates are heavily expanding their renewable energy footprints, setting a competitive benchmark for mid-market operators [1]. For instance, SM Investments Corporation reported yesterday that its renewable energy sourcing reached 31% of its total electricity consumption in 2025, representing an increase of 14.815% from 27% in 2024 [4]. This strategic shift allowed the SM Group to avoid 370,644.07 metric tons of carbon emissions while sourcing approximately 730 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy [4]. SM Prime Holdings, the group’s property arm, has already installed over 200,000 solar panels across 69 of its properties [4].
Proven Track Records and Strategic Leadership
Solaren’s deployment of an AI-driven intelligence tool is backed by substantial operational experience in the region [1]. The Department of Energy-accredited and PCAB-licensed firm has successfully installed over 100 megawatts (MW) of capacity across more than 2,500 commercial and industrial projects in the Philippines [1]. Their portfolio includes multi-megawatt systems for prominent brands such as Toyota, McDonald’s, Dunkin’, and Liwayway Marketing [1][2]. The company utilizes in-house installation teams to manage multiple concurrent projects while maintaining rigorous workmanship standards [2].
