Renewable Energy in Schools: Solar, Wind & Eco Designs
Integrating renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, in school infrastructure offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it significantly reduces the carbon footprint of
Solar panels have emerged as a cornerstone technology in the journey towards sustainability in schools. These devices convert sunlight into electricity, providing a renewable energy source that can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of educational institutions.
However, we face challenges to the use of solar energy in Singapore. We have limited available land for the large-scale deployment of solar panels. In addition, the presence of high cloud cover across Singapore and urban shading poses challenges such as intermittency.
With the limited renewable energy options available to us and the current technological capabilities, we are not able to generate sufficient baseload electricity from renewable sources reliably for Singapore. Nevertheless, Singapore aims to deploy at least 2 gigawatt-peak of solar energy by 2030.
Some of our test-bedding projects include: Singapore's focus on research and test-bedding is to improve the performance of solar systems and develop innovative ways of integrating solar energy systems into our urban environment.
