The Power of Solar
Green issues are the new imperative of the 21st century. UWCSEA issues a rallying call to the community to join forces and help create a more sustainable future.
The College has an exciting programme of initiatives that ensure environmental stewardship is a major part of every child’s education and helps create a greener tomorrow.
Solar for UWCSEA is one of the flagship projects, where the whole College community is invited to get involved and help reduce the College’s carbon footprint whilst building the knowledge and passion of the next generation of environmental champions.
Inspired by the successful Solar for Dover programme, the Solar for East project is a student-run initiative to harness the power of the Singapore sun and create clean energy to light up our classrooms.

Key Background Information
Despite East campus’ renowned green standards, we rely on unsustainable, grid-supplied energy – consuming nearly 6000 MWh of electricity and emitting 2.5million kilograms of CO2 every year.
Installing the planned 1130 solar panels would save almost 4 million kilograms of Carbon Dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere, and yield 9.3 million kilowatt hours of clean energy!
