The solar power developer Sunseap Group claimed that it will install solar energy facilities on the roofs of 800 buildings to store such renewable energy so that to meet Apple’s demand from January of 2017.

Until now, Apple doesn’t reveal the location and commencement date of business for first Apple Store in Singapore. It is said that it will be supposed to start business in 2016. In the meanwhile, Apple doesn’t confirm whether it will fully apply solar power in its first Apple Store either.

“Sunseap and Apple teamed up as strategic partners which means Singapore is in a vantage point to use more competitive renewable energy,” said Goh Chee Kiong, the executive director of Economic Development of Board of Singapore.

” We start recruiting the work team for the first Apple Store in Singapore now, that is what we can tell so far,” announced Angela Ahrendts, retail director of Apple firm.

Apple will be the first company that fully relies on renewable energy in Singapore after it signed the agreements with Sunseap Group. Apple listed 14 job opportunities for Singaporean retail store on its official website, including store manager, business manager and technical assistant.
