[SINGAPORE] Installing solar panels on the rooftop of his residential property has made Mike Ng more intentional about how he uses electricity.
The solar panels were installed less than three months ago and already, his family has started scheduling activities such as laundry, water heating and the charging of his electric vehicle according to the weather.
“I really think it’s quite cool that the electrons generated on my rooftop are going straight to my EV. In fact, these days I charge my EV only during daytime, and I’ll look at the cloud cover as well. So, if the sun is shining very brightly, I’ll take the chance to plug it in immediately,” said Ng, who is 54 years old.
