This review paper discusses renewable energy, specifically solar photovoltaic (PV) energy, which provides benefits in selecting the proper technology for campuses. This study aims to direct scholarly attention to the processes that underpin strategic renewable energy investment decisions, as well as how these decisions are influenced by national energy policy. It discusses three (3) common PV technologies that could be adopted by universities and colleges in support of the renewable energy in the Philippines. Different benefits and drawbacks in using solar energy were also discussed. The proposed approach framework was presented. Finally, the status of solar energy in the Philippines and the innovative initiatives of higher education institutions in the Philippines were highlighted.
