HDB aims to install solar panels on more than 10,000 blocks over the next 3 years.

Energy generated from solar panels is used to power common services like lifts, lights and water pumps in the daytime. Excess solar energy is channelled to the electrical grid. On average, HDB blocks with solar panels can achieve net-zero energy consumption in common areas.
