NEWS & EVENTS
SolarGy is very honoured to partner UOB in this Asia’s First Integrated Solar Energy Platform. With the attractive financing plans offered by UOB, our potential clients will not have an even better business case to switch to solar and begin to make inroads into a sustainable business journey.
Hosting a visit to NUS SDE-4 to members of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. The participants get to see the super high efficiency solar panels for this net zero energy building. Amidst the host of questions, I generously shared the nitty gritty that went behind the design in order to maximise the energy yield. Given the recent buzz in ramping up solar energy for the nation, the level of enthusiasm from these building professionals seems very encouraging.
Learn In Singapore, the number of grid-connected solar panel installation hase increased by more than 80 times in a decade. Mr. Albert, Managing Director of SolarGy, talks about the integration of solar panels and how cost effective it is in Singapore.

Still wondering what is BIPV?Hear it from Minister Lawrence Wong who delivered an enlightening message on BIPV.
Excerpts of Minister Lawrence Wong’s speech on 4 Sept 2019:
But if there is technology to now deploy solar panels vertically, I think that is a potential game changer. Because if you look at buildings, there is naturally a lot more vertical space than there is horizontal space. So if we can start deploying more vertical solar panels, then we can ramp up the adoption of solar power in Singapore. So BIPV provide an alternative to buildings with limited rooftop space for conventional PVs. It can also help balance energy generation and consumption. Because BIPVs and roof-mounted PVs – the horizontal PVs – tend to achieve peak power generation at different times of the day. Because the sun is at a different position at different times of the day. The good news for architects is that BIPV also come in different colours. So aesthetically, you can do something with it, and architects have more design options. In fact, the colours you see on the screen are just tentative colours, the final building may look very different, depending on the final design.
