Green Heat is in for the long haul

Glenn Tong, managing director of Green Heat Corp., is in the renewable energy sector for the long haul and is ready to stake his name and reputation to assure his clients and partners that the work that his family corporation does will have the support that it needs throughout the years.

"We started about 16 or 17 years ago to get into this renewable sector because it was something that we thought was important for the future, and we thought that it was the technology that we had the opportunity to do...so we made a decision as a group that this is something we wanted to invest in and focus on for the long term."

So we put together a team, we properly trained them, and then we got into this with the intention of being a serious player for the long term," he explains.

Green Heat was thus founded in 2010 as an energy solutions provider for solar photovoltaic (PV) installations for large-scale businesses, and in 2015, sister company Green Dot was established as its residential arm to cater to the smaller sized installations.

The demand for solar PV rooftop installations has surged, driven by a need for energy independence, cost savings, and growing environmental concerns.

In a press briefing last week, Tong and his team revealed that their pipeline for the next 18 months involves the completion of nearly P2 billion worth of rooftop solar PV installations for big clients that include the SM Group, Landers Superstores, Wilcon Depot and a few others who prefer not to be disclosed.

Since 2020, Green Heat has installed over 45 systems producing a total of 17,791.92 kWp, while Green Dot has similarly completed 45 installations for residences across the country.

Green Heat and Green Dot have made solar PV solutions more accessible and affordable to both businesses and households.
