The Housing and Development Board (HDB) will be testing a more energy- and cost-efficient solar technology in six precincts islandwide next year.
Using Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) thin-film technology, the project is expected to cost S$4 million.
The solar panels will be installed in 20 to 25 HDB blocks, and collectively generate 1 MWp (megawatt peak) of electricity, enough to provide for 200 four-room flats. Full story
