Rooftop and Utility Scale PV Project Feasibility and Development
Course Overview
There has never been a better time to develop PV projects, whether as a capex investment or third-party financed such as under a power purchase agreement (PPA) scheme. At current retail electricity tariffs in Singapore, typical payback periods (ROI) range from 2.8 to 4.5 years for large rooftop systems, making these extremely attractive investments as well as a robust hedge against rising electricity costs and future carbon taxes. Beyond Singapore, utility scale solar farms are enjoying enhanced regulatory support, as political consensus concludes that climate change is real and mitigation is urgent.
For both rooftop and utility scale systems, the economic calculations require systems to perform reliably for 20-25 years, consistent with typical solar panel power warranties.
Many aspiring PV systems owners find themselves poorly prepared when requesting system proposals and evaluating offers. It can be difficult to distinguish a good system from a mediocre one. Hence, we have invited an experienced PV industry professional to share an insider view and clear your doubts.
