Key Takeaway:
Going solar in Singapore doesn't have to mean a large upfront investment or taking on technical risk alone. GetSolar's Rent-to-Own model lets you start saving on electricity bills immediately. We will handle all the installation, daily monitoring, maintenance, and a 90% performance guarantee until ownership transfers to you on proven terms.

“It’s not easy to go solar because we don’t know much about it.”, a client told us recently.

They weren’t against solar. In fact, they liked the idea of lower electricity bills and being more sustainable.

But the idea still felt overwhelming.

• “What size system do we need?“
• “What if the savings don’t match projections?“
• “Who maintains it?“
• “What happens if something breaks?“
• “Are we overpaying?“
• “Is this the right time?“
• "How long before we actually break even?"
• "Is our roof even suitable?"

When you’re considering a six-figure investment for your rooftop, “we think it should work” isn’t good enough.

That’s exactly why many of GetSolar’s clients begin their solar journey with our Rent-to-Own model.

If You’re New to Solar, Here’s Why It Can Feel Daunting

For first-time buyers, it’s not the concept of solar that’s intimidating, but the responsibility.

Owning a solar system means:

• Managing installation quality
• Monitoring performance
• Handling operations & maintenance (O&M)
• Ensuring projected savings actually materialise
• Taking on the technical and financial risk

And if you don’t have in-house solar expertise (most businesses don't), that's completely normal. You're not supposed to know all of this yet.

Rent-to-Own: A Safer Way To Go Solar

Instead of a large upfront capital expenditure (CAPEX), you adopt solar through a customised and structured plan, typically over 5 or 10 years, while we manage everything in between.

1️⃣ We Monitor & Maintain Your System — Every Single Day

We don’t just install and walk away.

We monitor your system daily to ensure it performs as designed.

If something dips, we know. If something needs fixing, we act.

Think of it like AppleCare for your building's energy infrastructure, built in from Day 1, not sold as an add-on.

2️⃣ We Defray the Cost of Ownership

Rather than paying everything upfront, payments are structured over time.

This:

• Preserves your cash flow
• Improves your time value of money
• Allows your energy savings to partially fund the system itself

In many cases, the monthly savings on your electricity bill exceed the structured payment. This makes the transition close to cash-flow neutral.

Many organisations prefer the 5-year plan for faster ownership and stronger long-term returns. Some choose the 10-year option because it requires $0 upfront CAPEX, which works well for organisations with strong operating cash flow but capital allocation constraints.

3️⃣ We Take On Your Risk, Until the System Proves Itself

The first few years are where most uncertainties lie:

• Is the system performing as projected?
• Are there technical issues?
• Are savings tracking correctly?

During the Rent-to-Own period:

• We handle the operations
• We manage the performance
• We provide workmanship warranty
• We ensure the system works as intended

GetSolar's Performance Guarantee: If the system doesn’t produce at least 90% of what we promised, we will pay you back. In writing.

Only after the system is proven and stable does ownership transfer to you. By then, you’ve had years to understand how it performs — before fully taking on the long-term risk.

4️⃣ You Get Time to Learn — Before You Own

One of the biggest hidden benefits? You don’t have to become a solar expert overnight.

Over the lease period:

• You see the savings.
• You understand the reporting.
• You observe the maintenance cycle.
• You build confidence in the system.

This learning period helps your facilities or operations team get comfortable with the reporting dashboards, maintenance schedules, and energy data. When ownership transfers, you're not starting from zero.

Solar Shouldn’t Feel Like a Gamble

Going solar is about making a clear, high-value, long-term infrastructure decision for your building.

If you’re feeling unsure, that doesn’t mean solar isn’t right for you. It just means you need the right structure and the right partner.

At GetSolar, our role isn’t just to sell panels and walk away. It’s to simplify complex decisions, share the risk with you, and stay accountable for the results.

And if you’d like to talk through your concerns (even the basic ones), we’re happy to. No hard sell. Just a proper conversation.
