Advantages of Singapore's Rooftop Solar PV
Geographical and Climatic Advantages
Abundant Sunlight: As a tropical country near the equator, Singapore enjoys stable sunshine year-round, with an average daily peak sunlight hours of 4-4.5 hours, providing excellent natural conditions for solar power generation.
Core Strategy to Address Land Scarcity
Utilizing Idle Space: With limited land area and no possibility for large-scale ground-mounted solar power plants, leveraging the rooftop space of tens of thousands of public housing (HDB) blocks, industrial buildings, commercial complexes, and private residences is the optimal solution to "turn waste into treasure." This perfectly aligns with Singapore’s "vertical city" development concept.
Economic and Cost Benefits
Reducing Energy Costs: For HDB town councils and businesses, installing solar PV systems significantly lowers electricity costs for public areas (e.g., elevators, lighting, water pumps) or operational expenses. Through the "install-own-operate" model, town councils can enjoy cheaper electricity without upfront investment.
Hedging Against Electricity Price Volatility: Solar power provides a stable energy source, reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels and mitigating the risks associated with fluctuations in international energy prices.
Environmental Benefits and Sustainable Development
Reducing Carbon Footprint: Solar PV is a clean energy source that supports Singapore’s ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
Enhancing Urban Resilience: Distributed rooftop solar PV systems contribute to a more decentralized and resilient energy network, reducing over-reliance on centralized power supply.
Green Image: For businesses, using green energy is a key way to fulfill corporate social responsibility (CSR) and meet environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, enhancing brand image and international competitiveness.
Strong Government Support and Planning
Policy-Driven: Through the SolarNova program, the government continuously aggregates public sector demand and conducts large-scale tenders, providing a stable and predictable market for the solar industry, attracting investment, and reducing costs.
Clear Targets: The government has set a target to deploy at least 2 gigawatts (GWp) of solar capacity by 2030, with rooftop solar PV as the absolute mainstay. This provides a clear direction for the industry.
