BBR Greentech is one of Singapore’s leading EPCs. It was commissioned by PUB, the National Water Authority of Singapore, to commission the island’s latest two 1.5 megawatt (MW) floating solar photovoltaic systems at Bedok and Seletar Reservoir. These projects-also installing technology from FIMER, the world's leading supplier of renewable equipment-will help Singapore achieve its ambitious goal of installing 2GW of solar capacity by 2030

This dual-use floating solar project is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 1.5 kilotons per year [1], and aims to promote solar production in Singapore while using renewable energy to power its water supply system. The project opened in 2021 and uses FIMER's central inverters, which are built for utility-scale applications and can withstand the most extreme weather conditions, including continuous water exposure.

Maren Schmidt, Managing Director of FIMER Utilities Line commented:

"Floating solar is becoming more and more popular, and the Asian market in particular provides perfect conditions for this exciting trend. We are proud to be part of this landmark project, which demonstrates how FIMER can contribute to this scale. The ability of installation to provide solutions, and the natural challenges they bring. With a wide range of solar inverter solutions, FIMER provides an ideal solution that is compact and easy to install, very suitable for project requirements."

"The launch of the project during the Covid-19 pandemic also brought a series of challenges, and the relevant expert service team has overcome these challenges."

The project builds on FIMER's track record in Singapore. The company has installed residential, commercial and industrial, utility scale and storage-based solutions in multiple projects.

With a continuously evolving and innovative product portfolio, FIMER remains the first choice for the most advanced solar energy solutions.
