Singapore solar energy assessment

Which region in Singapore has the highest solar PV installed capacity?

Visit the EMA Statistics section for more recent statistics on installed capacity and number of grid-connected solar PV. As of 1H 2024, the western region of Singapore had the highest solar PV capacity totalling 454 MWac (or 589 MWp) from 1,465 installations. This was 44% of the total installed capacity of 1,038 MWac (or 1,348 MWp).

Does Singapore have a solar PV roadmap?

To answer these three questions, the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) at NUS led a consortium of institutes and departments from both NUS and the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) to update the Solar PV Roadmap for Singapore. The previous roadmap which was published in 2014, was also prepared by SERIS.

How to calculate the share of solar PV in Singapore?

Assuming that the electricity supplied is equal to the quantity demanded, then the share of electricity by solar PV in Singapore can be calculated by dividing the annual solar energy production by the total electricity supplied.

What is a good PR value for a solar system in Singapore?

Well-designed PV systems in Singapore have an initial PR value of above 80%. Minimum PR for system installed under the SolarNova programme currently is ~75%. There is a small annual degradation of the PV module output, which should be within the limits specified in the manufacture’s performance warranty.

What is the LCOE value of solar PV systems in Singapore?

The resulting LCOE values range from 18-27 SGD-cents/kWh (see Tables 4.9 and 4.10), mainly depending on the turnkey system price and the assumed cost of capital. Table 4.8: Assumptions for the calculation of the “Levelised Cost of Electricity” (LCOE) of solar PV systems in Singapore installed in Q1 2013.

How many solar PV installations are there in Singapore?

As of the 1H 2024, there were a total of 9,763 solar PV installations in Singapore. Residential installations accounted for a high proportion of the installations at 41% (or 3,974), followed by town councils and public housing common services at 40% (or 3,945).
