Summary (SolarNova Programme) Draft 1
This article aims to summarise what the SolarNova Programme is about as well as what it has achieved in recent years in which the seventh solar leasing tender has been called. HDB has steadily deployed tenders through the years and significantly gained economically and to installed solar panels cheaper. HDB Green Town programme has been working towards sustainable living by adding greenery as well as reduce energy consumption by using solar energy. HDB being the biggest promoter of solar panels is pressured by the public sector to install more solar panels. This will assist in reducing carbon emissions and reducing effects of climate change.
According to Mr Tan Meng Dui(2022) in the 14 years that HDB has been operating there are now 10000 flats with solar panels. Initially, solar energy was used for everyday facilities in HDB. HDB can reach a self-sufficient state in common areas. It has been mandatory to install smart electrical sub-meters since the sixth SolarNova tender, allowing the necessary organizations to observe and investigate energy consumption patterns as well as their performance. With the collected information, they can advance and better the system as well as spot malfunctions much easier. Solar panels are due to be installed steadily through the next 2 to 3 years for flats without it. Its implementation is being continuously reevaluated, together with the development of newer BTOs, and will continue supporting Singapore's efforts to accelerate its use of solar energy.
