Poh Ern Shih Temple: Where Technology Meets Religion

Just came across this building in Singapore which really is a ultra modern temple! The Poh Ern Shih temple incorporates numerous solar panels which supplies the temple’s electrical and water heating needs.

The temple is actually generating power in excess of what it actually needs. The excess power is being sold back to the nation’s power grid. This is really one innovative religious group who also has the drive to go green!
