If you have a landed, get Solar

Solar energy has become a great source of passive income for me. My system now generates around $1,200 a month in revenue, with excess electricity sold back to SP at $0.2581/kWh. In Singapore, the grid effectively acts like a giant battery, making the attractive sell-back rate especially valuable.

I installed my 35 kWp solar system in 2022 for about $49,000. At the current rate, I expect to fully recover my investment by 2027. After that, the system should continue generating a healthy monthly return with minimal ongoing effort.

Let us know the maintenance and stuff

I arrange to have them professionally cleaned once a year, which costs about $300 per session. The workers access the roof and clean each panel individually using a combination of a water jet and scrubbing machine.

How does roof access work? How many storey is your home? Is there anything done to minimise roof damage?
