Use Of Solar Panels In Singapore
As singapore becomes a solar leader in southeast asia and the international photovoltaic science and engineering conference pvsec arrives in singapore in october 2016 there has never been a better time to switch to solar energy.
Use of solar panels in singapore. Just as singapore had. Currently solar energy contributes less than 1 per cent to singapore s total energy. Solar panels harness sunlight and reduce fossil fuel imports meaning the widespread use of solar energy only increases our self sufficiency and reduces financial strain caused by fluctuating global crude oil prices. Google will be using solar energy from 500 hdb flats in singapore to help power its operations in the country as part of the company s global efforts to make its data centres run entirely on carbon free electricity by 2030.
Google will pay for power generated from solar panels installed on the rooftops of 500 public housing flats across singapore which energy then will be tapped to power its local operations.
