Singapore unveils Floating Solar Panel Farms, Equal to 45 Foot Ball Fields

Singapore: Singapore unveiled one of the world’s largest floating solar panel farms, on Wednesday.

Solar farms area is equivalent to 45 football fields, located on a reservoir in western Singapore, the 60 megawatt-peak solar photovoltaic (PV) farm has been built by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries (SCIL.SI).

As opposed to conventional rooftop solar panels, floating ones perform between 5% to 15% better because of the cooling effect of the water, and are not impacted by shading from other buildings, according to a presentation on the project.

“It was carefully designed to improve airflow and allow sunlight passing through the water (to reach aquatic life),” said Jen Tan, a regional head at Sembcorp Industries.
