In Singapore’s climate where it is sunny all year round, installing solar panels for your home can help you save energy and costs. However, how much you save is dependent on your roof size and site conditions. Find out how much you can potentially save with our solar calculator tool.

HDB owners, unfortunately, cannot install solar panels on their roofs.

Condo and MCST properties are able to install solar panels on their roofs, however, there are certain restrictions in place because of communal living rules. If you own a penthouse or a strata-landed home and wish to install solar panels, here is what you need to know:

You will need to seek approval from your your Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST).
You will not be able to export or sell any excess electricity to the grid, due to limitations of a master-sub meter structure in such developments
The solar system installed will be considered a “hobby” system and you may be liable for any risks to the building.

Solar panels are designed to convert sunlight into energy, so even during cloudy days, you’ll still expect your solar system to be generating between 40-80% of the electricity compared to a sunny day. However, when there is no longer any sunlight during the night, the inverter on your solar panel system will automatically power off, before it powers on again in the early morning.

In any case, don’t worry! When your solar panels are taking a break, your home automatically switches to drawing electricity from the grid to keep things running smoothly. The lights will stay on, day or night!

In sunny Singapore, most rooftops are a great match for solar panels. However, if your roof is super steep or has a complex design with multiple angles or dormer windows, it might not be the smoothest fit for a solar panel system.These unique roof features can make panel placement a bit tricky due to limited space, and it might even add some extra costs. So while most roofs are a-ok, it’s always a good idea to have our GetSolar pros take a look to make sure it’s feasible for your specific roof. Simply reach out to us on WhatsApp or send in an enquiry from our solar calculator and our team can advise you further!

A renewable energy certificate (REC) validates and quantifies the environmental benefits of generating electricity from renewable sources. It allows individuals and businesses to claim that a portion of their electricity consumption came from renewables, which supports their efforts to promote sustainability and reduce their carbon footprint.

RECs are also used by entities to comply with regulatory requirements and voluntary standards related to renewable energy targets. Financially, RECs provide revenue for renewable energy producers, promoting investment in renewable energy projects and technologies.

Absolutely not! RECs are simply digital certificates that are issued to certify that clean energy is generated from a specific solar asset. Selling RECs makes no difference to your solar panel system, or the way you consume your electricity.

When you sell RECs in Singapore, you unlock an extra stream of annual income. This extra cash can potentially shorten the time it takes to recoup your solar investment by approximately 6-12 months, bringing your breakeven point even closer.

The value of RECs is typically subject to market fluctuations based on supply and demand. As of early-2025, small or medium asset owners can expect to receive between S$30 to $50 for each REC sold, while prices for commercial solar owners differ based on system size. This means that the average solar homeowner can earn an extra S$500 to $800 every year!

A solar loan or instalment plan are mainly financing plans that allow you to get solar with little to no initial payment. However, if there are any issues with your rooftop solar system, maintenance or repair costs will still be separately charged by your installers.

Under our Rent-to-Own model, we finance, install and maintain the rooftop solar system on your behalf, covering all out-of-pocket costs including repairs and warranties. On top of this, we also provide you with a performance guarantee and pay you for the difference if the system does not produce the expected amount of energy.

Absolutely! Given Singapore’s rising electricity prices, solar panels are a smart move to cut down on those expensive bills while helping save the planet.

The amount of savings you can enjoy will largely depend on 3 factors:

Your energy consumption patterns
Your existing electricity retailer and utility rate
The number of solar panels that your roof can accommodate

Plus, thanks to Singapore’s energy export structure, you can also earn from selling extra power back to the grid. You’re looking at a payback period of 5-8 years for a system that will last you over 25 years. A pretty solid investment, if you ask us.

You can estimate your potential savings with our solar calculator today!

Absolutely! You can be compensated for any unused solar energy your system generates that is put back into the grid.

If you get your power through SP Group, you will receive payments at the regulated tariff minus grid charges. This is about 75-80% of the cost you pay for electricity (or about S$0.22/kWh as of early 2025). You will receive this as a rebate through SP Group that offsets your future bills.

If instead you get your power through an Open Electricity Market (OEM) retailer, your solar export payments will be based on the Wholesale Uniform Singapore Energy Price (USEP). Note that this price can fluctuate greatly between S$0.10/kWh to S$0.50/kWh. You will receive this as a remittance cheque through SP Group, or you can also request for it to be credited to your bank account by submitting a GIRO form to SP Group.

There are 2 main types of warranties when it comes to solar panels, under which manufacturers are obliged to provide a 1-for-1 replacement:

Product warranty (often 12-25 years): this covers any hardware defects on your solar panels
Power output warranty (often 25-30 years): this covers performance degradation on your solar panels

These warranties are usually registered directly with the manufacturers. However, you can rely on your solar installers to liaise with the manufacturers and handle any replacements covered by the warranties on your behalf.

At GetSolar, on top of offering these product warranties, we also provide a guarantee to all customers which encompasses the following:

We monitor your system, ensuring it runs smoothly
We repair your system if anything goes wrong
We pay you back if your system underproduces energy

Once you sign your contract and initial downpayment or deposit is paid, our customer success team will schedule an installation time slot for you, which can take a few days to a few weeks, depending on the availability of our team. Once our team is on site, the solar installation is pretty fuss-free and will just take 3-5 days to be completed.

Once this is done, your solar system is ready for turn-on, so you can start enjoying savings from the sun! Do note that we’ll have to await Singapore Power (SP Group)’s testing and bi-directional meter change before you are able to enjoy earnings from your exported solar energy, and this can take an extra 1-2 months after the solar system has been successfully installed.

Yes, certainly! However, do note that as the property owner, you may have to bear the cost of removal and this will have to be assessed on a case by case basis. The cost of temporary removal and re-installation of the solar panels will depend on labour as well as the complexity of your roof.

By default, no. Most solar panel systems in Singapore are grid-tied, and do not require solar batteries to power your home. This setup enables surplus solar energy to be fed back into the grid, which you will be compensated for, and you will be drawing down electricity from the grid when you solar panels aren’t producing energy e.g. at night, meaning there will be no disruption to your power supply.

Here at GetSolar, we do not currently recommend including a battery with your solar system as this will often increase costs of your solar system by about 50%, as well as extend your payback period by about 3-5 years for little benefit.

Typically roofs are built to withstand human weight, with a point load of at least 100 kg/m2 (for concrete roofs, at least around 250 kg/m2). Since our solar panel systems are usually between 30-50 kg/m2 (maximum 70 kg/m2 with concrete ballasts weighing them down on concrete roofs), there wouldn’t be any issues.

However for the cautious, you can also reach out to your main contractor or Qualified Professional (QP) for your home or building to double check on this.

You can check whether your property is single phase or three phase by taking a look at your house’s meter box. This can usually be found at the entrance to your property, near the gate. Look out for labels or descriptions like “1PH” or “3-Phase” on the meter box itself.

If you are unsure, simply take a picture of your meter box and share it with us and one of our trained salespeople will be able to clarify for you!

Most solar panel suppliers in Singapore will only use panels and inverters manufactured by Tier 1 companies. These are also the preferred choice among many property owners, especially those panels with a warranty of at least 25 years.

For residential systems, some of the most favoured solar panel brands include Jinko, Trina, AIKO, JA Solar, and REC; common inverter brands include Huawei, Sungrow, SMA and Fronius. This industry-wide preference for renowned brands highlights the commitment to quality and reliability in solar installations in Singapore.

Additionally, we would also recommend monocrystalline panels as they have the most efficient cell technology, giving you the best return on investment. You can find out more on the different types of solar panels here!

RECs are still a relatively new asset class, and are purchased by MNCs or large corporations to achieve their net zero targets. Prices of RECs in the market are determined by these factors:

Number of buyers, and the volume of RECs they would like to purchase
Supply of RECs from renewable energy sources available

As of early-2025, small or medium asset owners can expect to receive between S$30 to $50 for each REC sold, while prices for commercial solar owners may differ based on system size.

To find out the price that your system will qualify for, reach out to the GetSolar team on WhatsApp or email us at recs@getsolar.ai!

Although both options allow you to install solar without any significant upfront costs, there are some notable differences. With a bank loan or instalment plan, which you can get solar with little to no initial payment, you will incur interest charges and these plans would not cover any maintenance or repair costs required for your rooftop solar system over time.

On the other hand, a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) allows you to enjoy savings as soon as your system is operational, with all capital expenditure or investment cost as well as operating costs absorbed by GetSolar. Under a solar PPA, your company simply pays a discounted tariff rate for your solar electricity and receive comprehensive maintenance and warranty coverage.

Absolutely! Solar Power Purchase Agreements in Singapore are designed to support companies as they transition to a more sustainable economy while saving them money.

Through the leasing of your roof space, this initiative provides you with access to a renewable energy source that is both eco-friendly and cost-effective. While the exact amount will vary, there are 3 main factors that determine how much money you can save by getting a PPA with GetSolar:

Your property’s energy consumption amount and patterns
Your current electricity retailer and utility rate
The number of solar panels that your roof can accommodate

When you request a free quote, our sales specialists will work with you to assess your financial goals, energy consumption patterns and roof space to determine how much you can expect to save with GetSolar’s PPA plans
