Pulau Ubin’s power grid will be upgraded with the installation of a solar green roof connected to an advanced energy storage system.
Solar green roofs are expected to reduce the ambient temperature of PV modules from 3 degrees Celsius to 8 degrees Celsius, improving the efficiency of PV systems by 1.5% to 4%.
Energy storage systems will be deployed to improve the reliability of the island grid.
According to NParks and the Energy Market Authority (EMA), at the request of residents, the grid will be expanded to Kampongsung Gadrian to provide a sustainable power supply to more users on the island.
