Pemimpin Place

Rezeca Renewables installed an 18.53 kWp solar PV system on a corner terrace house at Pemimpin Place, Singapore, commissioned in 2025. This project is located just steps from Rezeca's own headquarters at MAPEX on Jalan Pemimpin — a neighbourhood our team knows well.

The standout feature of this installation is the use of full-black solar panels on a traditional red clay tile roof. As the aerial photograph shows, the all-black modules — including black frames, black backsheets, and dark cell surfaces — create a clean, uniform appearance against the warm-toned tiles rather than the visible silver grid lines and white backsheets found on conventional panels. For homeowners concerned about how solar panels will look on a heritage-style or coloured tile roof, this project is a practical reference point: modern full-black panels can complement rather than clash with traditional Singapore residential architecture.

The dual-pitch roof allowed panels to be arranged across two large faces on either side of the central ridge, achieving near-total roof coverage. At 18.53 kWp, this is a large system for a terrace house — generating an estimated 23,200 kWh of solar electricity per year. For a typical terrace household, this output is likely to exceed daytime consumption entirely, with substantial surplus exported to the grid under Singapore's grid sell-back scheme. With estimated annual savings of approximately S$7,400 and a system cost of S$1,600–S$2,000 per kWp, the payback period falls within 3–5 years.

Terrace houses are the most common landed property type in Singapore, and their uniform rooflines typically make them well-suited for solar installation. Compared to bungalows and GCBs where complex roof geometry and shading require multi-array designs, terrace roofs often allow a straightforward two-face layout that maximises panel density and simplifies maintenance access. Rezeca has installed solar on hundreds of terrace houses across Singapore, from Pemimpin Place in the central Marymount–Bishan area to estates across the east, west, and north.

This project is one of over 1,000 residential solar installations completed by Rezeca Renewables across Singapore's landed estates since 2009 — including a neighbouring system at Pemimpin Place that demonstrates a different configuration on the same street.
