Solar Panels for Businesses in Singapore

We manage the full regulatory process for your business:

• EMA licensing under the Enhanced Central Intermediary Scheme (ECIS) or Market Participant Scheme
• SP Group bi-directional meter registration for net export of excess solar electricity
• BCA structural approval where structural roof modifications are required
• Green Mark integration if your business is pursuing sustainability certification

Typical timeline from contract to commissioning is 3–4 months, depending on system size and site complexity.

GetSolar has installed solar across a wide range of commercial building types in Singapore, including:

• Manufacturing facilities and factories (Polymer Tech, Flows Ong)
• Heavy lifting and industrial operations (Pollisum Engineering)
• Furniture and retail (Scanteak)
• Interior design studios (Redwood Interior)
• Religious institutions (SJSM Church)
• Offices, schools, and warehouses

Even older roofs (up to 40 years old) can support solar with proper structural assessment and waterproofing. Our commercial team conducts hands-on roof inspections and full structural load assessments before any installation.

Commercial solar payback depends on your chosen plan:

• Outright Purchase: Payback in as little as 3 years, with 22+ years of net savings on a 25-year panel warranty
• 5-year Rent-to-Own: Typical break-even in year 4 (as achieved by Flows Ong), with savings continuing thereafter
• 10-year Rent-to-Own: Lower monthly payments; full ownership after year 10, with 15+ years of net savings on panel lifespan
• PPA: Immediate savings from Day 1 — you pay only for electricity used at 40–70% below grid rates, with no capital invested

All plans include a guaranteed performance commitment — if system output falls below the agreed level, GetSolar pays you back.

Most Singapore businesses cut their SP Group bill by 40–70% with solar, depending on system size and energy consumption pattern. For example, water-jet cutting specialist Flows Ong enjoys over 70% monthly savings on a 185 kWp system, while lifting firm Pollisum saves around S$5,000/month with their 188 kWp system, offsetting 60% of energy needs. St John's-St Margaret's Church saves approximately S$8,000/month with their 264 kWp installation. Energy-intensive operations and large-roof institutions typically see the highest savings since solar generation aligns with daytime operational hours,

GetSolar offers three commercial solar plans, each suited to different business needs:

• Rent-to-Own (RTO): 5 or 10-year contract, $0 upfront, fixed monthly payments, full system ownership at end of term. Best for SMEs and most commercial properties that want predictable savings and long-term ownership.
• Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): 15–20 year contract, $0 upfront, pay only for solar electricity used at 40–70% cheaper than SP Group rates. Best for large commercial and industrial projects with high consumption.
• Outright Purchase: From ~S$50,000, immediate full ownership, payback in as little as 3 years, longest-term savings potential.

A commercial solar system in Singapore typically costs from S$50,000 for smaller setups (around 50 kWp — suitable for SMEs and small factories), scaling to S$200,000–S$300,000+ for larger industrial systems (185–265 kWp). Final pricing depends on roof size, system complexity, and electrical setup. Prefer no upfront cost? Our Rent-to-Own plan starts with $0 upfront and fixed monthly payments over 5 or 10 years — typically lower than your current SP Group business bill.
