This is equivalent to meeting the annual electricity needs of around 350,000 households.¹⁶ There are two prongs to Singapore’s solar energy strategy: facilitating the deployment of PV systems and overcoming solar energy intermittency. 1. PV System Deployment

Is solar energy a good option for green energy in Singapore?

Situated near the equator, Singapore enjoys sunlight all year round. This makes solar energy a promising option for green energy. Furthermore, less land is needed to harness solar energy vis-à-vis other forms of green energy.

How does solar energy work in Singapore?

This is made possible using photovoltaic (PV) systems. Located near the equator, Singapore is one of the most solar-dense cities in the world. We enjoy relatively high solar irradiance of an average annual solar irradiance of 1,580 kWh/m2/year. Real-time information on solar energy generated can be seen under the Solar Irradiance Map.

Can solar power improve Singapore's energy mix?

As this high dense urban city as island-state relies on energy imports for 95% of its domestic energy needs, an increase in solar electricity production offers promising opportunity to improve Singapore's energy mix and needs.

Why should Singapore invest in solar energy?

It is clean, generates no emissions, and can boost our energy security. Being in the tropical sun belt, Singapore enjoys an average annual solar irradiance of 1,580 kWh/m2/year. EMA's aim is to potentially achieve 1.5GWp of solar deployment by 2025, and at least 2 GWp by 2030.
