60.3 kWp residential solar system on a standing seam metal roof GCB at Garlick Avenue, Bukit Timah. Three-array layout saving S$22,500 yearly. Commissioned 2022 by Rezeca.

Rezeca Renewables installed a 60.3 kWp solar PV system on a Good Class Bungalow at Garlick Avenue in the Bukit Timah–Sixth Avenue GCB enclave, Singapore, commissioned in 2022.

The home features a pitched standing seam metal roof with multiple faces — an ideal surface for solar. As the aerial photograph shows, panels are arranged in three distinct arrays across the roof, each positioned to follow the orientation of its respective roof face. Standing seam metal allows clamp-on mounting with no roof penetration, preserving the roof's waterproof integrity and making future panel maintenance or roof recoating straightforward. The arched dormer at the centre of the roof was left clear, maintaining the home's distinctive architectural profile while the surrounding surfaces were put to productive use.

The system saves the homeowner approximately S$22,500 per year in electricity costs — one of the highest residential savings figures in Rezeca's portfolio. For a GCB running central air conditioning, pool systems, extensive lighting, and modern smart home infrastructure, solar at this scale effectively eliminates the electricity bill during peak daytime hours, with substantial surplus exported to the grid under Singapore's grid sell-back scheme.

This project demonstrates why Good Class Bungalows are among the most financially rewarding properties for solar installation in Singapore. The combination of large unobstructed roof areas, high household energy consumption, and premium property values means GCB owners see both faster payback and higher absolute savings compared to smaller landed homes. Rezeca has completed solar installations on GCBs across Singapore's most established enclaves — including Swettenham Road (29.60 kWp, metal roof), Leedon Park (40.05 kWp, tile roof), and Cluny Hill (89.25 kWp, metal roof) — each engineered for different roof configurations and energy profiles.

This project is one of over 1,000 residential solar installations completed by Rezeca Renewables across Singapore's landed estates since 2009.
