Tanjong Pagar
PHOTOVOLTAIC CANOPY
Located in the middle of Singapore’s financial center, this 64-storey tower is the tallest building in the country. Its design, carried out by S.O.M., the New York-based architectural firm, and construction was commissioned by the Korean multinational Samsung. Onyx contributed with the installation of a large photovoltaic canopy of 27,986 sq ft covering the main entrance to the building.
Onyx Solar® has taken part in this project by installing a large photovoltaic pergola of over 2,600 m2 located at the entrance to the building with an installed power capacity of 125 kWp.
