No matter how remote an area may be, this gutsy former beauty titleholder is determined to bring solar energy to the 16 million Filipinos who remain unserved and underserved.“What got me here — I don’t know. It’s probably a higher calling, or let’s say ‘fate.’ Not on many occasions does a woman set foot in the thrones of volts, amps and hertz.”a 200-hectare breezy mountain tourist resort in Ortega village in Bacnotan, La Union.
Where power is expensive, scarce and inaccessible in isolated areas, SunSmart works with the National Electrification Administration, the Philippine Rural Electric Cooperative Association and local government units . “Many of the areas covered by electric cooperatives’ franchise [are] landmarks and heritage islands, valleys and hills, [and] irrigation farmlands [that] were left undeveloped for years,” Jenny says.
Understanding rural electrification provides answers to power scarcity and rural access for farmers who plow the field and fishermen who cast nets, says Jenny. Farm workers rely on agriculture and water supply to make their machines and equipment work. SunSmart’s integrated power supply and solar hybrid stations were showcased in The Manila Times 11th Business Forum: The Philippines Economic Outlook for 2020 in early March.
SunSmart systems are now in Pampanga, Tarlac, Bulacan, La Union, Pangasinan, Aklan, Davao and Palawan. In three years, the business has expanded to include distributors in Nigeria, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates.Each SunSmart solar system has its own artificial intelligence to optimize efficient harvesting, producing, storing and distributing energy. In three months, a mini-grid hybrid power station can be embedded, isolated and decentralized in a 20-foot or 40-foot hi-cube container.
