Already
The building already uses its form to reduce energy demand.
CapitaGreen’s petal-like crown captures cooler air for the Cool Void, while its double-skin façade and greenery improve thermal performance. It holds BCA Green Mark Platinum.

CapitaGreen.
CapitaGreen already harvests wind. The next step is to harvest sunlight.
Its rooftop wind scoop, Cool Void, double-skin façade and extensive greenery already treat architecture as environmental infrastructure. Sydsol extends the same idea: the façade does not only manage climate — it generates electricity.
Read the building
The building already harvests wind. Let it harvest sunlight.
CapitaGreen was designed to make architecture work with nature: its wind scoop draws cooler air from 242 metres, its façade reduces heat gain and greenery wraps much of the perimeter. Sydsol adds the next natural function — harvesting sunlight from the building envelope.

Project LCOE
Grid-equivalent CO₂ is modelled using the local grid factor. Actual market-based emissions impact depends on the building’s electricity procurement and renewable-energy contracts.
Energy & economics
Monthly electricity & LCOE
See how electricity generation and equivalent energy cost change through the year as solar resource, orientation and shading shift.
Monthly electricity & LCOE
Generation through the day
The southwest façade does the heavy lifting.
The southwest façade is the largest modelled contributor, with the roof second and east/northeast adding secondary output. The opportunity is selective and architectural — exactly like the building’s existing environmental systems.

Where the electricity comes from
Southwest is the dominant modelled orientation and the roof remains important. That balance makes the project a genuine roof-plus-façade extension, not a roof replacement.

Architecture that works with nature
From harvesting wind to harvesting sunlight.
CapitaGreen was designed to make architecture work with nature: its wind scoop draws cooler air from 242 metres, its façade reduces heat gain and greenery wraps much of the perimeter. Sydsol adds the next natural function — harvesting sunlight from the building envelope.

Next standard
Make the same envelope produce energy as well as save it.
A productive façade extends CapitaGreen’s existing design philosophy rather than introducing a foreign technology language.
Wind
The crown already captures a natural resource.
The wind scoop is a visible piece of environmental engineering and gives the project a clear precedent for architecture-as-infrastructure.
Green envelope
55% greenery around the perimeter.
The façade is already treated as an environmental system. Transparent generation can add a new function without abandoning that design intent.
Solar Studio result
Southwest is the strongest surface.
The southwest façade is the largest modelled contributor, ahead of the roof, with east and northeast adding useful diversity.

The Solar Studio advantage
We model the building.
We model the building.
Then we follow the sun.
Solar Studio reveals the energy potential hidden across an entire building envelope — not just the roof. It combines advanced 3D solar simulation with the commercial metrics asset owners need to make a decision.
Advanced 3D building model
We recreate the building and its urban surroundings so the analysis reflects the real geometry of the façade, roof and neighbouring skyline.
Sunlight, tracked all year
Advanced ray-tracing follows sunlight through every hour of the day and every season of the year, revealing how solar access changes across the envelope.
A true shading profile
Nearby towers, setbacks and the building itself are captured in a detailed shading profile, separating consistently productive surfaces from those that spend too much time in shadow.
From solar potential to business case
We translate the solar opportunity into generation, energy savings, carbon reduction and payback — turning a complex façade into a clear investment picture.
Beyond rooftop solar
See where the building can generate, when that energy arrives, and which surfaces create the strongest commercial value.

Indicative feasibility assessment. Results support early-stage decision making and should be followed by site, structural, electrical and façade-engineering review before project development.
