The CDL Singapore Sustainability Academy recently expanded with the opening of a new annex, furthering its role as a hub for sustainability education and collaboration. The event, which was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat, highlighted CDL's ongoing commitment to sustainable development. The new annex, supported by Solargy, serves as a collaborative space aimed at fostering partnerships across public, private, and people sectors. This extension is expected to enhance CDL's efforts in driving climate action and promoting sustainable practices within the community
We are excited to share an important update that could revolutionize your solar projects. Through our collaboration with Jolywood, we have developed a solar panel that allows for safe installation on metal roofs of non-sprinkler protected buildings without the need for a one-hour fire-rated separation. Apart from its higher fire rating, the panel adopts the latest high efficiency N type Topcon half cut cells with low temperature coefficient and better performance under low light conditions.
Key Highlights of the Jolywood fire-safe panel:
- Complies with Clause 10.2.2 b of Fire Code 2023.
- Complies with Class A (IEC 61730-2) and Class B (EN 13501-1) fire standards
- System cost increase limited to just ~10%
- Enhanced safety for your assets without compromising on performance
- Certificate of Compliance from Setsco dated 29/5/24
- Declaration of Compliance issued for each project.
Even if your buildings are sprinklered or of concrete roof, adoption of these enhanced fire certifications ensure that the Jolywood panels have minimal contribution to fire hazards, exhibit excellent resistance to ignition and flame spread, and maintain their structural integrity under fire conditions. Consequentially, this higher fire class panel is very much sought after for installation in environments with stringent fire safety requirements, such as commercial and industrial rooftops, thereby enhancing the overall safety and reliability of solar energy systems.
We believe this advancement will greatly benefit your upcoming projects and help accelerate the adoption of renewable energy in a safer and more cost-effective manner.
CAG appointed SolarGY to transform the airport maintenance and storage centre into a greener facility by installing a 640kWp rooftop solar PV system, which will cut the facility’s emissions by around 50 per cent, said Koh Ming Sue, the group's executive vice president of engineering and development.
