Solar firms brace for ‘new normal’

SOLAR energy companies are gearing up for the new work setup to safeguard the health of their employees once the government lifts the enhanced community quarantine imposed because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, the Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA) said on Tuesday.

Based on a survey by the Philippine Solar Energy Association, majority of its members reported modified work arrangements including work rotation and work-from-home schemes, which will continue until June to provide the needed space that effectively lessens employees’ contact during work periods, especially during lunch and coffee breaks.
