Yes, you can. Our Rent-to-own program charges you a fixed monthly fee which is expected to be lower than your electricity bill savings so you start saving immediately. Try our free solar assessment tool for an instant estimate of your monthly savings with solar now.
3 main factors determine how much money you can save.
- Your household’s energy consumption amount and patterns
- Your current electricity retailer and utility rate
- The number of solar panels that your roof can accommodate

Yes! You will be able to enjoy rebates by SP Group for the export of excess solar energy generated by your solar system. Homeowners who are with SP Services will be paid at the standard electricity tariff rate minus grid charges (~25% of the cost of electricity) which would be around S$0.23/kWh in Q4 2022, where retail electricity tariff is S$0.2974/kWh. Homeowners contracted with an Open Electricity Market (OEM) retailer will be compensated at the Wholesale Uniform Singapore Energy Price (USEP). USEP rates are determined half-hourly and fluctuate widely but across the first half of 2022 has averaged S$0.3238/kWh.

Yes, you can do so, and we’re happy that you’re ready to own the solar system! We designed the Rent-to-own model to make it as easy as possible for homeowners to get solar. If you’re ready to own, you can select an early buy-out option and pay down the straight line depreciated value on the system with no prepayment penalty. The service warranties and free maintenance coverage will terminate along with the contract, but product warranties will remain.
While both plans allow you to get solar with little to no initial payment, unlike the Rent-to-own scheme, a bank loan or installment will charge an interest rate or have hidden fees, and does not cover solar system maintenance.
Our Rent-to-own program is designed to provide you with a hassle-free solar experience, allowing you to enjoy cost savings from solar once you turn on your solar system. At zero upfront costs, you pay a monthly rental for your solar system which covers all maintenance fees and warranties.
Solar AI standardises the best-in-class solar panels and inverters used in our systems and consolidates multiple solar panel projects to bring down overall costs. This allows Solar AI to make margins on project costs, while keeping total cost of ownership low for our customers.

Alternatively, you may also choose to pay down the remaining value of the solar system and add it onto your property value.
