BIPVs located all over Singapore
Rooftop BIPV

By the edges of the Singapore Sports Hub, there are Solar Panels Located and covering 7000m2 of it. This will help them to achieve a maximum capacity of 707kWp.
As I have always been to the National Stadium for years since it was built, which was in 2014, that particular area receives the most sunlight during mid-day, therefore, it’s quite an advantage of that area to get the most sunlight out of it

Jurong East Carpark


In Jurong, the west side of Singapore, there’s a carpark that’s located outdoors with a few short buildings around its surroundings.

The BIPV has been applied as a roof and also acts as sunshades and provides shelter.
It is a huge advantage for them to have this installed on such a place as it will manage to receive as much sunlight as possible that they could possibly harvest as there are no possible shadows nearby.

People’s Association

One of the People’s Association(PA) strategic thrusts is to transform community infrastructure into lifestyle & bonding destinations to meet the changing needs and aspirations of residents. The focus is to create conducive community space that brings the resident to meet, interact, bond & build social capital.
Its headquarters at King George’s Avenue was one of the very few buildings that have achieved Green Mark GoldPLUS rating in 2007. The design is inspired by the idea of a “rain tree with outreach foliage” and lauded for its innovation in environmentally-sustainable design which includes a naturally-ventilated central atrium, a “breathing wall” and a lightweight secondary roof with building-integrated photovoltaic skylights

In the area that is filled with residential houses which landed properties, there’s a house that has a skylight rooftop/canopy that uses BIPV.
This is great for the owner of the house as it has put an advantage for themselves to be able to save energy and also having cheaper electricity bills in the long run.
Meanwhile, even when the owner of the house is away from home, which means 0 power usage, they could possibly harvest energy as it could get direct sunlight from the sun as the house location has minimal shadow obstructions.

Having BIPV in residential units is very rare as it is very uncommon for people changing their rooftops to having BIPV skylight.
This will bring a lot of benefits in terms of energy harvesting as they could rely mainly from the natural resource such as the sun as landed properties in Singapore has 0 shadow obstruction. Also not wasting any bills on electricity to light up the house as it will allow direct sunlight in.

Facade BIPV
Keppel DHCS


The Keppel DHCS was awarded a Solar Pioneer Award in 2012 and it has planned to expand the plant in the second half of 2012.

The Expanded DCS plant will feature the largest Photovoltaic cell installation on a building in Singapore with a planned system size of 550kWp, covering an area of 5000 square meters, which will be installed on the building’s roof and it’s façade. Thus would also be considered under a building that has Roof BIPV. The Solar Panels will produce an average of 50000 kWh of green energy per month which is equivalent to the electricity consumption of 125 units of a 4-room HDB Flats.

BCA Zero Energy Building (ZEB)


ZEB stands for Zero Energy Building. It means that the building will run with 100% clean renewable energy.

BCA has retrofitted its PVs to its existing building. Installing as many solar panels in many areas of the buildings. This will help the building to achieve 100% clean renewable energy.
From 3 of these figures, they installed BIPVs on the canopy, façade, rooftop & sunshades. The technology of BIPV they used was from all the 3 generations of PV. Apart from being placed under the buildings that has facade BIPVs they are also under Skylight and Rooftop BIPV.

On the Eastern part of Singapore, close to Changi Airport, Tampines Grande comprises of 33600 m2 commercial & office spaces, spanning over two wings of eight floors. Meinhardt Façade Technology Singapore was appointed as the façade consultant for the construction of the two eight floors office buildings.
The Tampines grande was the first building in Singapore to be awarded the LEED Gold Award thanks to numerous green innovations. These solutions created a cutting-edge, energy-efficient & sustainable office building that incorporated the green features. This building has implemented Solar Photovoltaic rooftop which produces a capacity of 101kWp and BIPV on its facades where it produces a capacity of 6kWp. Because there are BIPVs implemented on the Roof it would also be placed under the Rooftop BIPV.

BIOPOLIS

NEA is collaborating with JTC and a private company to demonstrate the innovative use of BIPV in the form of architectural special glass modules at the façade through a test bedding project at the Biopolis which is a JTC development located in One North.
The PV system would meet the lectrical needs of the Biopolis Visitor Centre during the day.
It was installed in May 2004 and it will be harvesting energy from the sun at a capacity of 20kWp.
