Alaminos Solar is surrounded by Ayala Land’s Carbon Forest, a woodland reserve that acts as a carbon trap and home to biodiversity. Within the solar farm compound, the company has integrated a plastic recycling facility wherein plastic waste collected from the construction site were upcycled into eco-bricks, which were used in building the solar plant facilities.

Solar Gulayan


Our Alaminos Solar in Alaminos is among our five solar farms across the Philippines that implement the ”Solar Gulayan” agrivoltaics program, which combines solar power and agriculture to improve local food security while generating renewable energy.

Together with other ACEN solar plants – Palauig Solar in Zambales, and IslaSol, MonteSol and SacaSol in Negros – Alaminos Solar has since enjoyed plentiful harvest since the program rolled out in 2022.

ACEN pilots circular approach in solar plants

ACEN has piloted the circularity approach in its 120 MW solar plant in Alaminos, Laguna construction site, diverting away from landfills a total of 32,540 kg of plastic collected from the solar panel packaging materials – or the equivalent of about 25 compact size cars – to be upcycled into eco-bricks and utilize in building the solar plant facilities.

By working together with its partners, the local government and the community, ACEN aims to create a circular approach, close the loop within its project locations, and help the communities live in a pollution-free environment.

Alaminos Solar also features a Tree Nursery, with a target to produce 120,000 seedlings in three years and is also surrounded by Ayala Land’s Carbon Forest, a woodland reserve that acts as a carbon trap and home to biodiversity. Plans to develop an Eco-Learning Facility where students and other visitors can gain knowledge about renewable energy and sustainability are underway. ACEN envisions to recreate this pilot Sustainability Hub to fulfill its goal of protecting the environment, creating jobs to reignite the economy, and engaging its host communities meaningfully while creating clean energy.
