Singapore solar PV Stats as a country
Singapore ranks 56th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 433 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 0.80% of Singapore's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 37th in the world). Each year Singapore is generating 76 Watts from solar PV per capita (Singapore ranks 42nd in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]
Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Singapore?
Yes, there are several incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Singapore. The SolarNova Programme provides funding support for the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on rooftops and other suitable areas. Businesses can also benefit from the Solar Capability Development Grant, which helps them develop their capabilities in solar PV system design and installation. Additionally, businesses may be eligible for tax deductions or exemptions under the Productivity and Innovation Credit Scheme (PIC).
