If I'm not mistaken they are actually covering roofs of new HDBs with solar panels. But I would guess they can control the outgoing supply more easily from a central farm rather than distributed panels.

@peachfaced older HDBs also have them now. Wondering if similar to how we get our water, we could “own” lands in our neighbour’s backyard to build solar farms, resell the power and send them back too.
