Solar Panels for Homes in Singapore

GetSolar offers three options:

• 10-year RTO: from S$210/month, S$0 upfront
• 5-year RTO: from S$160/month, ~50% down
• Outright purchase: from S$20,000

RTO is best for cash-flow flexibility; outright pays back fastest. There are no government grants for residential solar in Singapore, so RTO is the main accessibility option. Compare options →

Most Singapore landed-home owners save S$240–S$775 per month on their SP Group bill, depending on roof size: small roofs (40m²) save around S$240/month, medium (75m²) around S$460/month, and large (125m²) around S$775/month. Payback is typically 5–8 years, with panels warrantied for 25+ years. Calculate your exact monthly savings →

A typical landed-home solar system in Singapore costs from S$20,000 outright for a small-roof setup (around 40m²), scaling to S$30,000–S$40,000 for medium and large roofs (75–125m²).

Yes. GetSolar offers a 10-year Rent-to-Own plan from S$210/month with S$0 upfront — typically lower than your current SP Group bill, and the system becomes yours at the end of the term. We also offer a 5-year RTO (from S$160/month, ~50% down) and outright purchase from S$20,000. See which option saves you more →

Landed homes generally don't need URA approval but require EMA licensing and SP Group net-metering registration — we manage both. Condos and strata properties need MCST approval first; see our condo & MCST solar guide for the approval playbook.

If you sell your home or move out, there are a few options depending on your Rent-to-Own agreement.

Typically, you can either:

• Transfer the agreement to the new homeowner (subject to their consent and eligibility)
• Pay off the remaining balance to own the system outright
• Request a relocation (subject to technical and cost assessments)

Please contact our team early in your moving process so we can advise you on the best approach.

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!

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!

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.
