Robinsons Starmills Pampanga now holds the title of the world’s largest solar rooftop installation on a mall. The installation will bring clean and environment-friendly energy to the mall and help it save on energy costs.
The facility has 10,880 solar panels and covers 1.75 hectares of roof space. The solar array will harness more than 2.88 Megawatts of power during peak hours, offsetting up to 95 percent of the mall’s daytime demands.

“The sprawling design of Robinsons Starmills and the wide open surrounding space make it ideal for a large scale solar power facility,” RLC (Robinsons Land Corporation) president Frederick Go said.
“As a responsible corporate citizen, Robinsons Land is continuously looking for ways to adopt sustainable practices and minimize its carbon footprint by steadily shifting to the use of renewable energy,” he said.
