SolarRoof Programme

Who qualifies

• The programme is for JTC lessees.
• Lessees may rent rooftop space to appointed solar vendors or lease solar panels and purchase generated solar energy at a discounted tariff.
• No installation or upfront cost is required: the solar vendor finances, designs, builds, owns, operates and maintains the solar PV system.
• Rooftop Licensing model: the lessee licenses roof area to the vendor, energy is exported and sold to SP PowerGrid, and the lessee receives a licence fee (infokit reference rates $0.32 to $42.86 per sqm per year, contract 8 to 20 years).
• Solar Leasing model: the lessee consumes and buys the generated energy at a discount off SP PowerGrid's prevailing tariff (infokit reference range 5.65% to 73%, based on a 20-year contract).
• Infokit reference roof area range is 800 sqm to more than 10,000 sqm; rates are as of January 2024 and subject to contract with the vendor.
• Charges apply if the installed system is removed or relocated before the contract end date.
