Singapore turns on another large-scale solar roof installation

Over 7,000 PV panels will generate 3.5GW hours of energy enough to power 1,000 three-bedroom HDB flats for a year.

Personal care firm Kimberly-Clark Corporation has installed rooftop panels for its Tuas manufacturing facility in one of Singapore’s largest solar energy installations to date, an announcement revealed.

A total of 7,730 photovoltaic panels mounted on its roof will generate 3.5GW hours of clean energy, which will be enough to power up 1,000 three-bedroom Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats for a year.

With this investment, renewable energy will reportedly replace 15% of conventional energy use at the plant, reducing Green House Gas emissions (GHGs) by approximately 1,600 metric tonnes per year. This is equivalent to removing nearly 350 passenger cars from roads annually. 

The solar roof panels were installed in partnership with Singapore-based solar energy provider Sunseap, which has developed many grid-connected PV systems in Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
