Jollibee Goes Solar: A Brighter and Cleaner Future at NLEX Northbound

Filipinos know Jollibee as a symbol of comfort, joy, and home. Whether it is a quick stop during a long drive or a family meal on the road, Jollibee branches across the country serve millions of customers every month.

Today, one of those branches just became even more future-ready.

Solaready PH is proud to energize Jollibee at Petron Station, NLEX Northbound, Marilao, Bulacan with a 19.25 kWp On-Grid Solar System designed to cut electricity costs, support sustainability, and bring clean energy to one of the busiest expressway stops in Central Luzon.

A Smart Move for High-Traffic Locations

Branches located along expressways operate for long hours and require consistent power for:

• Cooling and refrigeration

• Lighting

• Food preparation

• Customer comfort

• Drive-through operations

This means electricity consumption is significantly higher than a typical store. With electricity costs rising in the Philippines, commercial establishments are choosing solar energy as a way to lower operational expenses without compromising service quality. This makes the 19.25 kWp system at this Jollibee branch an ideal fit for the location and usage profile.

Clean Energy for Millions of Travelers

The NLEX Northbound Jollibee stop serves thousands of motorists every day. By switching to solar, the store is not only reducing operational costs but also:

• Cutting carbon emissions

• Supporting the renewable energy movement in the Philippines

• Inspiring other commercial establishments to choose more sustainable solutions

• Contributing to cleaner air along one of the country’s busiest expressways

For context, the Jollibee Group previously installed 6,300 solar panels at its Canlubang Baking Facility (CBF) in Laguna, the company’s largest installation to date.The Group is also working on installing 16,800 solar panels across four manufacturing sites, which could reduce grid-power usage by 15 percent annually.

These data points show that Jollibee is committed to renewable energy, and this branch—powered by Solaready—adds to that growing movement.

Why More Businesses Are Going Solar

With rising electricity tariffs and increasing energy demand in the Philippines, solar helps brands like Jollibee:

• Lower daytime electricity costs

• Improve long-term profitability

• Reduce reliance on an unstable grid

• Strengthen ESG and sustainability goals

• Future-proof their operations

The Philippines’ solar energy market is also expected to grow significantly from USD 2.06 billion in 2025 to USD 4.54 billion by 2033, showing strong national momentum toward solar adoption.

A properly sized system like this 19.25 kWp installation can deliver savings for 25 years or more, making solar one of the smartest long-term investments any Filipino business can make.

Leading the Way in Sustainable Fast Food

Jollibee has been part of Filipino life for decades. As the world shifts toward cleaner energy, the brand’s decision to integrate solar into its expressway branch demonstrates a commitment to modernizing operations while caring for the environment.

This installation sets a strong example for other quick-service restaurants, fuel-station concessions, retail outlets, and commercial buildings across the Philippines.
