How people pay

The main ways to go solar, and what each asks of you

The right choice depends on your finances and how long you plan to stay.

01

Paying cash

You own the system from day one and avoid interest. It needs the most money upfront.

02

A solar loan

You own the system and repay over time. Compare the interest rate, fees and the total you will repay.

03

Financing through the installer

Arranged at the point of sale. Check the lender and the terms, and compare it with other options.

04

Adding battery storage

Batteries can store spare power. They add cost, so ask what one would do for you.

05

Leases and power purchase deals

You pay for the power or rent the system rather than own it. Read every term.

06

Not sure yet

That is fine. The first conversation is about whether solar suits your home at all.

What shapes a quote

Six things that decide what you are offered

01

Your roof

Its direction, angle, size, age and condition.

02

Shade

Trees and neighbouring buildings can cut how much the panels produce.

03

Your electricity use

What you use and when, which sets how large a system makes sense.

04

How surplus power is handled

What, if anything, you are paid for power you send to the grid.

05

The equipment

The panels, inverter and any battery, and the warranty on each.

06

Approvals and licences

The grid connection, structural checks and licensed work.

Before you sign

Six things to ask any solar installer before signing

01

Are you and your electricians licensed?

Ask for the numbers, and check them yourself.

02

What exactly is in the quote?

Panels, inverter, installation, safe access, any battery and approvals, itemised in writing.

03

What do the savings figures assume?

Ask what tariff and usage the numbers are based on.

04

Who handles the approvals?

And is it included in the price.

05

What do the warranties cover?

The panels, the inverter and the installation work separately, and for how long.

06

What if I sell my home?

Ask what happens to a loan or agreement, and get the answer in the contract.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

Can I put solar panels on my home?

It depends on the type of home. Landed homeowners can usually install panels on their own roof. For HDB flats and condominiums, the roof is a common area, so panels are installed under programmes run by the town council, HDB or the management corporation, not individually. Check with them first.

Is my roof suitable?

It depends on your roof's direction, angle, condition and age, how much shade it gets and how much electricity you use. An installer assesses it and should explain what they found.

How much does solar cost, and how much will I save?

It varies with the size of the system, your roof and the equipment. Namoye doesn't set prices. Savings depend on how much power you use at home, your electricity tariff and how much of what the panels produce you use yourself. Be cautious about savings claims that don't show their assumptions. Ask for the numbers in writing.

What happens to surplus power?

Singapore has no fixed feed-in tariff. Surplus power you send to the grid is typically settled at market prices through your electricity retailer or the market operator, and the arrangements and what you earn can differ and change. Ask the installer exactly how it works for you and how they worked out the savings.

Who is allowed to install solar?

The electrical work must be done by a licensed electrical worker, and a licensed electrical contractor often takes responsibility for the system. Installations connected to the grid need approval from the grid operator and the Energy Market Authority's rules apply. Ask for licence numbers and check them yourself.

Do I need approval for solar on my roof?

Often yes. Depending on the size of the system and the building, you may need approval for the grid connection, structural checks and fire safety rules, and if the home is strata, your management corporation's consent. Ask the installer who arranges what, and whether it is included in the price.

Should I add a battery?

A battery can store spare power for the evening and may help during an outage, but it adds cost and doesn't suit everyone. Ask the installer what a battery would do for your usage and what it would cost.

Do I need to fix my roof first?

If your roof is near the end of its life or leaks, it can be sensible to fix it before panels go on, since removing and refitting them later adds cost. Ask the installer for their view.

What should I check about warranties and the company?

Ask what the manufacturer's warranty covers and what the installer's own workmanship warranty covers. Ask whether the warranty still stands if the installer goes out of business, and check references.

What if I'm sold something at my door or by phone?

Don't sign on the spot. Compare quotes first and check the installer's licences. Be careful about leases and long agreements, and read every term. The Consumers Association of Singapore can help with disputes.

What should I have ready?

A recent electricity bill if you have one, your roof's approximate age and material, and your postal code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a solar company?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't install, price or guarantee the work. The installer who contacts you is responsible for the quote and the job.

Will several installers call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified installer contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
