Think that solar panels might not look good on your roof? Think again. With solar panels coming in more designs and colours, these new additions to your roof will not only save you electricity, but also serve to spruce up the look of your home.

The Open Electricity Market (OEM) is a strategy started by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) in 2017, in hopes to encourage increased competition and innovation in the energy sector in Singapore.

Solar developers, also called project developers or IPPs, are responsible for all aspects of a solar project from sourcing and development of the project to financing, designing and in some cases, construction. A developer is permitted to employ qualified individuals such as engineers and installation crews to help with the design and installation process.

As solar is gaining traction in Singapore, finding the right solar installer for your roof is crucial in ensuring that the entire installation goes smoothly and hassle-free. Considering that each installer offers different packages and solar solutions, it is important to compare and decide which installer is best suited for you.

With the Covid-19 outbreak hitting the world with a plethora of challenges, the solar industry is also not spared. With a shortage of manpower, project delays and investments being cancelled, many solar companies are currently putting business strategies on hold while facing pressures of a potential financial drain.

Before installing solar panels onto your rooftop, you will probably be considering many key factors such as suitability, cost, energy efficiency and aesthetics. While these are major considerations to take note of, the type of solar panels you choose is the determining factor affecting the outcome of all other factors.
