Springview Selects Singapore Landed Home For Residential Solar Pilot Project

Springview Holdings Ltd. has identified a corner terrace house in Singapore as a pilot project to study the use of rooftop solar power for landed residential homes. The property, located at 15 Jalan Nipah, has been selected under a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding between Springview’s subsidiary, Springview Enterprises Pte. Ltd., and Jiangsu GSO New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.

This pilot marks Springview’s first structured effort to assess how rooftop solar systems can work for landed homes in Singapore. Such homes usually have higher electricity use, and homeowners are increasingly looking for ways to reduce long-term power costs. Through this pilot, Springview aims to understand the technical, economic, and operational aspects of installing solar systems on residential rooftops.

A preliminary technical review of the property’s roof has been carried out. The assessment noted the presence of flat roof sections suitable for tilted solar panels, along with existing sloped roof areas. Based on this early review, the company is considering a solar photovoltaic system with a capacity of up to about 60 kilowatts. The final size of the system will depend on detailed engineering studies, structural checks, and regulatory approvals.

Using estimated solar output figures, the system could generate up to around 228 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day. This would amount to about 6,840 kilowatt-hours per month, depending on final design and actual operating conditions. These estimates are indicative and meant only for evaluation purposes.

Based on Singapore’s regulated residential electricity tariff for January to March 2026, which stands at 29.11 cents per kilowatt-hour, including GST, the potential solar generation could lead to monthly electricity savings of up to about S$2,000. On an annual basis, this could mean savings of roughly S$24,000, assuming most of the solar power generated is used directly by the household.

With an estimated installation cost of around S$52,000, the pilot suggests a simple payback period of approximately two to three years. This would depend on actual system performance and how much of the generated power is consumed on-site. For homeowners with steady electricity demand, this highlights the financial appeal of rooftop solar, in addition to its environmental benefits.

Springview clarified that this pilot is strictly non-binding and does not guarantee future projects, savings, or commercial arrangements. The company views such pilots as a way to test demand, improve processes, and support Singapore’s sustainability goals. Under the collaboration, Springview will manage project delivery and regulatory matters, while GSO will provide technical and engineering support for the solar systems.
