Marina Bay Sands Tower 2.
The skyline can generate power.

Marina Bay Sands is more than a resort — it is one of the images the world associates with Singapore. Sydsol can turn that icon into a new statement: clean electricity generated directly from the vertical surfaces that define the skyline.

Read the building

What if the building everyone photographs also generated electricity?

Marina Bay Sands already has renewable procurement and rooftop solar. The next opportunity is bigger than another hidden energy system: make clean-energy generation part of the visual identity of one of Asia’s most recognisable buildings.

What the building envelope could deliver

Qualified roof and façade surfaces are screened against the same energy and commercial assumptions used throughout this case study.

— Annual generation
— Annual energy value
— Modelled payback
— Grid-equivalent CO₂
— Installed solar area
— 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

This is a façade project, not a rooftop project.

The southeast and northwest façades carry almost all modelled annual generation, while the roof contributes only a few percent. For Marina Bay Sands, the vertical envelope is not an accessory to the solar case — it is the case.

Take solar from the SkyPark to the skyline.

Qualified surface mix

Where the electricity comes from

Two opposing façade families — southeast and northwest — account for nearly all modelled generation. That concentration creates a clear architectural story and a focused integration scope.

Marina Bay Sands already has renewable procurement and rooftop solar. The next opportunity is bigger than another hidden energy system: make clean-energy generation part of the visual identity of one of Asia’s most recognisable buildings.

Already

The renewable foundation is already there.

MBS reports a 28% emissions-reduction milestone in 2025, 85,000 MWh of I-REC purchases and 536 SkyPark panels generating over 150,823 kWh during the year.

Next standard

Make the landmark itself the renewable-energy statement.

A productive façade can move part of the story from back-of-house procurement to a technology embedded in one of the most photographed buildings in Asia.

Hospitality

The building itself is part of the guest experience.

A visible generation layer can be explained through tours, events, conferences and brand storytelling in a way rooftop infrastructure cannot.

Additionality

On-site generation is different from certificate procurement.

It gives the property a physical, measurable renewable asset at the point of consumption.

Solar Studio result

This is almost entirely a façade project.

Southeast and northwest surfaces together account for roughly 95% of modelled output; the roof contributes only a small share.

The Solar Studio advantage

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

These inputs define the Marina Bay Sands Tower 2 case study and can be changed for a building-specific assessment.

Assumptions & inputsOpen to review the model settings

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