We are also studying the feasibility of deploying floating solar panels on our reservoirs. The industry is exploring innovative financing models such as solar leasing, whereby an organisation can lease solar panels under long term contracts with the leasing company which is responsible for designing, financing, maintaining and operating the solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Overall, Singapore plans to raise the adoption of solar power to 350 megawatt-peak (MWp) by 2020, and 1GWp thereafter. | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | |
