A study by the National Parks Board (NParks), Building and Construction Authority (BCA), and researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS), demonstrated the technical feasibility of co-locating solar panels and green roofs. The study, led by Associate Professor Stephen Tay, together with team members Ms. Faizatuzzahrah Rahmaniah and Ms. Joyce Lim Hui Min, reported improved solar panel output, enhanced greenery growth, and reduced indoor temperatures through effective use of limited roof spaces. The study contributes to Singapore\u2019s vision of a \u201cLow-Carbon City\u201d and a \u201cCity in Nature\u201d.
