SM Supermalls recently unveiled the company's largest self-used rooftop solar photovoltaic system to date at SM City in Santa Rosa, Laguna, installed across over 2 hectares of the mall's building.The solar PV system at SM City Santa Rosa, which recently received the certificate of compliance from the Energy Regulatory Commission, was composed of 5,772 panels at 3.088-megawatt peak capacity and had an annual solar energy production of up to 4.292 gigawatt hours.

In 2016, the solar power facility in SM Mall of Asia with twice the capacity of SM North EDSA was installed.SM Supermalls had also been part of the Interruptible Load Program of the Department of Energy that provided 110 millivolts of power for communities across the Philippines. Fifty-six malls used their own generator sets instead of relying on the power grid, which was proven helpful when there were local power interruptions and power supply needed to be rationed.
