Singapore sets up national solar repository

The Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) in collaboration with Singapore Polytechnic on Tuesday launched the national solar repository (NSR).

The NSR captures data from solar photovoltaic (PV) systems installed in Singapore, ranging from commercial and industrial to residential buildings.

To date, more than half of Singapore’s installed solar systems are being monitored under the NSR. With the aim of accelerating solar adoption in Singapore, SERIS will analyse the systems performance data, and share the best practices and know-how in solar system installation and integration through a handbook for optimised PV system-design in the tropics.

The repository’s website displays the location of each PV system on an interactive map of Singapore, as well as photographs of the various PV systems across the island.

“Singapore, with its dedication towards clean technology, has the unique chance to lead the pace for the dissemination of solar power in tropical climates,” said Joachim Luther, CEO of SERIS.
