Solar technology is making headway in Singapore’s retail sector, as new and revamped malls in Singapore incorporate photovoltaics (PV) into their “green” strategies.

Sembawang Shopping Centre (SSC), a revamped mall that was re-launched in December 2008, boasts 51 solar panels on its roof that generate 34.52kWh of electricity per day. The daily output is said to be able to power a 32W fluorescent light for some 45 days.
