4 FAQs about Distributed Solar Power Generation in Buildings

What is a distributed generation solar system?

A distributed generation solar system utilizes unused rooftop space for the deployment of solar systems. In land-scarce regions such as Singapore, distributed generation solar systems provide an avenue for businesses to utilize solar energy by generating solar energy from the rooftops of their buildings.

Are distributed solar PV systems sustainable?

While most solar PV developments have primarily emerged at the utility scale, distributed solar PV systems—rooftop-mounted or integrated into buildings or structures—have become a crucial component of sustainable energy policies worldwide, even though with a wide variance among countries.

Why is distributed solar PV important?

Undoubtedly, producing energy from distributed solar PV can play a fundamental role in achieving emission targets, meeting the increasing global energy demand, and making power systems more resilient and affordable.

Can a distributed generation solar system help businesses achieve sustainability goals?

Installing a distributed generation solar system will not only help businesses achieve their long-term energy goals, but also fulfil their corporate social responsibility goals by raising the sustainability bar for commercial building owners.
