How Singapore''s robust ecosystem supported EDPR''s regional
One of the world''s largest floating solar farms on seawater, the project is an innovative solution specially designed by EDP Renewables APAC for land-scarce, densely
Over at Singapore's ports, MPA is considering erecting solar canopies over the container storage yard and roads within Tuas Port, which is being built in phases and will be fully completed in the 2040s. At Jurong Port, which has been in operation since 1965, the idea is to install solar canopies over the steelyard and roads there.
Innovative solutions, like rooftop installations, transform unused areas into energy generators. Floating solar systems also offer promising options by utilizing water bodies for solar farms. Singapore's tropical climate, with high temperatures and frequent cloud cover, complicates solar energy capture.
Floating solar systems also offer promising options by utilizing water bodies for solar farms. Singapore's tropical climate, with high temperatures and frequent cloud cover, complicates solar energy capture. These conditions can reduce solar panel efficiency and energy output.
Dr Serena Lin Fen, head of urban solar solutions at the NUS Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore, said solar canopies are becoming increasingly common in Singapore, and they can already be found on rooftops, and above carparks and foyers.
